One person was killed and at least 12 more were injured.

@FPMarcil @PeterMallouk Well, true, I guess ppp Singapore may be better. But nonetheless the point still stands. I think its hard for an average country to replicate. It draws in a large amount of Asian wealthy.

@MasterPortalX @euromaximal @elonmusk Russia is poor, self destructive and very corrupt. The only reason they are not a third world country is because of large natural resources.

@Huttiisko @ow Dutch and Swiss passport have same strength. Also with Dutch passport you are allowed to live in any EU country. Not sure about Switzerland. New Zeeland passport is stronger than Australian passport and Canadian passport is stronger than US passport.

@huizenprijzen Modaal inkomen in Nederland is 48000 euro dit jaar. Dus 2x modaal is 96000 euro. Overigens krijg je meestal via je bank meer hypotheek dan via de tool. Bij ons was het ca. 20% meer. Dus die tool is vrij conservatief.

@FPMarcil @PeterMallouk Jep, New York City is even higher per capita than Singapore. They both attract rich people, Singapore more Chinese, NYC more Americans.

@_X_NL @beursanalist VS heeft ook een gigantisch begrotingstekort en enorme staatsschuld. Staatsschuld als percentage bbp ongeveer even hoog of zelfs iets hoger dan Frankrijk.

@Mathieu_Guihard @statsglobe This week is addressed an older French tourist in Iceland in French, asking her about the bus we were waiting for and she said: 'I speak perfectly English you know. Twenty years ago in France it was way harder to speak English with everyone.

[LVR @LadislasVR]

@Mathieu_Guihard @statsglobe Well, I understand French fluently and speak it fine enough for daily conversation since half my family is French but more and more often French people keep speaking English to me, even I speak French to them.

@RnaudBertrand The problem is not him but the French who are refusing any reforms. But it seems all countries are in big trouble. Large debts, shrinking population. A problem across the whole northern hemisphere, Japan, China, France, Italy, US. You name it.

@TheEconomist In any case, Chinese universities are getting better and the number of young Chinese is shrinking. So a decrease is to be expected.
