Chapter 641 Stark Does All the Bad Things
The Adrian Toombs in the video is a typical middle-aged white man from the bottom of the American society.
With a common background and low education, he could only do some cheap jobs that required physical labor. He saved some money by relying on his youth and strength, married and had children, and then shouldered a heavy financial burden.
When he got older, he wanted to fight hard to create a better living environment for himself and his family.
And when such a choice is made, it is often a desperate one.
Adrian Toombs bet all his savings accumulated over the years on this "scavenger" business, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong just as he got on the right track.
Facing this group of well-dressed and aggressive middle- and upper-class elites, Adrian Toombs, as a small figure from the bottom, knew that the two sides were not on the same level at all, even though he had signed a contract with the city government first.
But in this country where some people attach the most importance to the spirit of contract, many contracts are also waste paper, and there are endless cases of plundering.
Adrian Toomes has been in the business for so many years and knows what is going on. He did not pursue the contract issue. Facing the suppression of strong competitors, the bottom people can only sell misery.
He pleaded with the other party earnestly: "Madam, please listen to me. For this job, I bought a truck and hired these people. They need to work and support their families. So do I!
I have invested everything in this. If I lose this job, my house will be taken away by the bank, and my wife, children and I will be homeless!"
The lady he mentioned is the leader of this group of uninvited guests. She is not young, but she is well dressed. At first glance, she belongs to the style of a strong woman in the political and business circles, with the so-called upper-class momentum.
Facing Adrian Toomes's pleading, the lady had a blank expression on her face and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, but I can't help you."
There was also a guy in a suit next to him who said disdainfully: "Next time, don't overestimate your abilities."
Adrian Toomes was already full of anger. Being provoked in front of him, he naturally couldn't help but punch him directly, but the next moment, he was pointed at by guns. This group of people was not small, how could a middle-aged man like Adrian Toomes afford to provoke them?
But being bullied by others was really aggrieved. Adrian Toomes was not a good-tempered person, but in the end he had to endure it, otherwise he would be beaten into a sieve.
The "noble" lady didn't push him too much. She asked everyone around to put down their guns, and then told Toomes, I am also an employee, if you have any problems, go to my superiors.
The superiors mentioned by the lady were really big. They were the "Disaster Department" jointly established by Stark Industries and the federal government, which was professionally responsible for the aftermath of these alien or super-powered battles.
Seeing this, Pietro Maximov sneered twice: "Look, Stark Industries is really harmful to people! This Adrian Toomes is obviously a vulture. He originally had a job that could support his family, but it was ruined by Stark Industries and he had to take the road of crime!"
The experience of Adrian Toomes in the video reminded Quicksilver of his own and his sister Wanda's experience. They were also victims of Stark Industries. Even though Wanda had let go of this grudge, Quicksilver still couldn't let it go.
Naturally, he had a certain sympathy for Adrian Toomes.
Stephen Strange was more rational and raised his eyebrows and said, "To be honest, I don't like Tony Stark, but I have to say that it's better to leave professional matters to professionals!
The garbage and debris left by the Chitauri are not safe. If ordinary people are asked to clean them up, there may be some dangers and disasters. On this point, I support the decision of the "Disaster Department."
Back to the video, after the "Disaster Department" left, Adrian Toomes and his guys faced the problem of unemployment, and they had to hand over all the alien materials they had saved in the past few days.
The technology of the Chitauri was obviously slightly higher than that of the earth at that time, and the residues and garbage left behind were all peculiar.
After thinking about it, Adrian Toomes decided to secretly leave some materials. He was really smart. Since the formal work didn't work, he would take another way!
Looking at the magical alien materials, he rekindled his fighting spirit and said with a smile: "The world has changed, and we should also make changes!"
The camera turned and came to eight years later.
After Adrian Toomes lost his job, he actually found another way!
He gathered a group of guys to steal the alien relics collected by the disaster department, and then modified them into high-tech weapons, smuggled and sold them, and made a lot of money.
Adrian Toomes is also very good at hands-on work. He built a set of combat suits that can fly and hide based on these alien relics. After wearing them, he really looks like a vulture.
At this point in the video, the ins and outs of the vulture's criminal path are explained clearly. It cannot be said that Iron Man is completely to blame, but the disaster department composed of Stark Industries and the federal government used rough means to take away Adrian Toomes' job and career, which is also one of the main reasons why he violated the law.
Historical experience tells us that since ancient times, unemployment has been a big problem. If it is not handled carefully, it may change the dynasty!
Compared with predecessors such as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Zicheng and others, Adrian Toomes is still a child's play.
The audience outside the screen naturally launched a heated discussion. Some people thought that Iron Man and Stark Industries could not be blamed for this incident.
It was Adrian Toomes who had no bottom line and did not respect laws and regulations. He was a bad guy at heart. Why should we blame Iron Man who protected New York?
If Iron Man had not risked his life to carry a nuclear bomb and rushed into the unknown universe, the entire New York City would have been razed to the ground!
Of course, some people think that Tony Stark and Stark Industries have an unshirkable responsibility.
The idea of them and the official government to set up a disaster department is good. As Doctor Strange said, letting professionals deal with professional matters can reduce the probability of problems and troubles.
But the problem is that you can't just come up with an idea and then let it go!
The more good things that benefit society, the more they should be managed, otherwise it will turn from a good thing to a bad thing. There are countless similar examples since ancient times.
Tony Stark must have been used to being a hands-off shopkeeper. He must at least bear the responsibility of not knowing people well.
