Prosperity and growth

Our government and Shitty State Times often claims that with economic growth, comes prosperity. How does one describe prosperity? I personally think if I have supply exceeding my wants, that is prosperity. If I have a million dollars, I should be regarded rich, but if I want to live in Nassim Hills in Singapore, that might just get me a garage. So your wealth is relative to your supply of wants. 1 million in Vancouver should get me a fancy house with spare cash for some investments and a fancy ride, maybe two?!! Which is perhaps why Vancouver is the most liveable city in the world and Singapore scores poorly as the 54th. But trust Shitty Propaganda Times to pull a fast one.




Money is often linked to prosperity, but let's not use money for this example, but a food item - I want more freshly shucked oysters at the Marriott hotel buffet, but with higher growth in their buffets, I have to compete with other customers. Basically the hotel should cater for the increase in growth and demand, and there should be no problem in fulfilling my wants. But these are freshly shucked oysters which quite often have to be freshly delivered and most restaurant do not risk overstocking them lest they become not fresh. And that might explain how 19 of my colleagues, including myself suffered from food poisoning the next day and we linked it to the old stock oysters being brought out for replenishment at the Marriott buffet.

Akin to wants, if I wanted more money to buy that apartment I like near town, but because of increasing expats coming to work in Sillypore, I now have to compete by paying more for that apartment. So effectively I need more money for my want. But with economic growth and uncontrolled foreign talent policy, I now also have to compete with cheaper labour options and therefore not able to ask for a pay rise in an increasingly expensive country. So how do I fare now with this economic growth? I do not get my fancy apartment, I do not get a pay rise, and I am in possible contention for lesser quality in food which can cause a bad tummy.

In some sense I am not prospering and quite possibly not live long with more health care catered to the rich foreigners and increasing stale food.

I am better off migrating to planet Vulcan where I can live long and prosper! Haha and thus goes the irony of prosperity with growth, you can't have both.
(In a distance, I hear the poor calling out - what about us? Do we have the ability to migrate to Vulcan? Can I ask for more pay cleaning tables? Wait, I see a long line of young foreigners waiting to take over my place...prosperity or growth has a price.)

Irony of global warming

Lately the weather has been very hot in sunny Sillypore - and it's not helping that our island is SUPER humid! Well, we can all attribute it to global warming. And it is a well known fact that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary contributor to global warming.

Well the irony of it, hot weather -> turn on air conditioning -> carbon dioxide emission -> globe gets hotter -> turn down the thermostat further -> more carbon dioxide emitted -> you get the picture

Turning up your thermostat by just two degrees saves 6 percent of heating-related CO2 emissions. That's a reduction of 190 kg of CO2 per year for a typical HDB!

As the world gets more growth, urbanised, we will have more carbon dioxide emission.
My next post will be on growth and prosperity - Another irony. Watch for it.

Petrol prices?

On my last post on profiteering on petrol prices, recently it seems to be creeping up again. But is there a reason why, besides the USD weakening, is there a need to increase the price? Since Singapore Dollar is strengthening, is there really a need to raise pump prices given that it should par off? Looks like they will use hedging as an excuse.

The amount of crude oil left in the ground was 1.258trn barrels last year and at today's rate of use however there is still enough oil to last the next 42 years. As we embrace more green technology, will we be able to extend it? Highly likely.

I remembered when I was studying back in the eighties, it was rumoured that oil will run out by 2000. Today we are in 2009 and there is still an estimated 42 years remaining supply. Reason is due to the more reserves exploration revealing new sites as well as newer drilling technologies which allows more deeper extractions.
I reckon we will have more good years to be petrol heads and lemme burn some rubber tomorrow!

5 more to go..

All thanks to KP, I am 6 down since March and 5 to go to my 2003 target. Hope the increased routines on Thurs and Saturdays and hopefully more weekday games and return to cycling will aid in speeding up the process.

Also got 3 weeks to improve my shooting to beat the Jammers and shoot over the other legendary 3pt shooter, Adrian. Back in BBAXN, we used to trade 3pt for 3pt as he so vividly recalls after last week's match.
