@TheLastRefuge2@bigelow989@robbystarbuck You’re arguing with a man who hasn’t been there but ‘his mate’ has.
I love Japan more than most but not for the reasons these boot lickers magic up. To act like Japan isn’t facing extreme economic challenges is very dumb. That’s the reason they voted this government in
@robbystarbuck They’ve had zero wage growth for nearly 20 years Robby. Maybe do more research than a few travel vlogs and you’ll see that immigration was not why they voted in this government
@JunNevin@BullionBrief There’s a much longer list of things that are more expensive than things which aren’t. I get it’s a trade off. I also think take home here is greater than other SEA markets when you compare ins and outs at the end of the month. But can’t escape the fact it’s very expensive here
@JunNevin@BullionBrief The cost of things in Singapore extends well beyond Marina Bay Sands. It permeates everything in the country bar hawker centres - and even that doesn’t apply to all of them now
@fotomarcos@BullionBrief Very fair point. You’ll find most ordinary locals celebrate that too. However for others like myself, it’s one of the main drawbacks. End of the day, I’m not the one they need to please
