The Rich is looking for energy: 60% support US. The Poor is looking for food: 60% stand neutrality. Both suffer under inflation.

 The Rich is looking for energy:  60% support US 

The Poor is looking for food: 60% stand neutrality


The Riches are looking for energy:  60% support US 

The Poors are looking for food: 60% stand neutrality


The Ukraine war creates two different kinds of demand, energy and food.  


The rich countries, mostly Western countries, are imposing sanctions on Russia.  In economic size, they represent about 60% of the world GDP.  Some rich countries will have to face a huge energy bill increase.


The poor countries in Asia, Africa, and even Latin America are concerned about the supply of food and the rising price.  In terms of population, they represent about 60% of the world population.   


The war will make the inequality worse.  We cannot survive without food but we can live with less energy consumption. 


It’s the economy, stupid!  If the US and the West want more support from the world, they have to help solve the problems.  More will stay neutral if there is more hunger.  

Since the Industrial Revolution, the West has expanded all over the world with their liberalism ideas. The expansion is unequal, unfair and unsustainable, but with innovative destruction.  

[Liberalism and its discontent]


Perhaps, this is Francis Fukuyama’s analysis of ‘Liberalism and its Discontent’.  The way of free expansion of liberalism has come to an end.  And the world needs a new order and a new structural system. The ones who control 60% world GDP will have to give way to the ones who have 60% world population. 


{Two idiots with no ideas of the world} 


Failing to see the different implications and development of 60% world GDP and population, the meeting between leaders of the US and Singapore continues the old style thinking of cold war.  Worst of all, they still believe in the western expansion and liberalism.  And they fail to see the discontent, one-sided story, and competition.

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By inserting a single c
