Singapore has less than 6 million people. It would be impossible to do this in a country with 350 million people.

Their success is also easily more achieved with a population that low. Washington DC GDP per Capita is $263,000 which would nearly 3x Singapore GDP per Capita with a similar small population.

Basically the US having a GDP per Capita of $85,000 with 350 million people is incredibly unattainable for the rest of the world if they were to have the same amount of people.

It's amazing what you can achieve off of kickbacks from the rampant waste of US taxpayer money.

Absolutely, Singapore is a great place. Been there and would live there. You can literally walk anywhere at any time of night and be safe.

They can also be great for a while and then break bad. Wanting a dictator is similar to wanting any sort of totalitarianism, it is mostly edge lords egging people on but the ones that are not trolling are flat-out stupid or have an incredibly limited historical perspective. It goes against the entire core of what the US was founded on and you can guarantee the 1st and 2nd Amendments along with most of the rest of the Constitution will disappear or be greatly restricted in the first edict.

It’s inevitable that it ends badly. Either in his old age he will frick things up, or external circumstances will cause a change for the worse, or he will die and the next person will abuse it

Been to Singapore twice. It is very clean and very safe. When was the last time they had a mass shooting? They have pretty strict gun laws. There’s lots of sides to this coin.
