oh, that explains it

?

Singapore has a unique way of governing compared to a lot of nations

yes we do

we don't allow corporations to intrude in the government

the poor are taken care off

nobody is homeless

like you can't have a certain # of kids, or there are very strict regulations regarding agriculture

agriculture is basically just roof gardens and vertical farming in singapore

we don't have enough land

they say farming of the future will look like that

it sure is

the Netherlands are experimenting with vertical farming right now

it's true, corporations should really get their noses out of the govt.

yea, I think capitalism is good and all, but there are flaws in it. Historical examples prove our transition to socialism is inevitable

whether it takes hundreds or thousands of years

I never said it was perfect, it's just the only system that sort of works

we already tried the feudal system

monarchies

it's the only system which works until we begin to transition to socialism

just remember something, not all prices are paid with money

what sort of price did people in Singapore pay to have no more homeless on the streets?

@LadyAquanine history was like this. Feudalism to laissez faire capitalism, laissez faire capitalism to mixed economies currently, mixed economies to ________?

@LadyAquanine what do you mean?

when a social program is enacted, there needs to be money to support it

the people being supported by the program are not gonna be paying it, so who is?

people paying taxes

out of our treasury, butvthe tax rate here is much lower than other nations

that leads to having less money to spend with your paycheck, and it gets ugly when 80% of your paycheck goes towards taxes

and people are still homeless in said nations

you end up not having as much money for anything, really

we do

another price you pay is losing certain freedoms

we already are paying a price for having internet where people watch you all the time whether you know it or not, people want to hack you to steal your money or spy on you, and you can get censored at any time

true

how old are you?

in Scandinavian countries, you're not allowed to do certain things that would be nothing in countries outside that sphere, you have to do tons of paperwork, and you have a Person Number so they can track everything you do, and you can't go anywhere without it

I am 32

Scandinavian nations are globalist hotspots to propagate their propaganda

oh, I'm exactly half your age lol

fascinating
