It’s interesting to see how much the world is paying attention and offering up comments.

It’s a different era as far as perception is concerned.

Can you least acknowledge that it's a huge gamble?


It's not really a gamble P-man. Singapore doesn't have any cards.

You don't have any cards.

I'm not talking about only Singapore. I don't know how many times I have to say that.

Okay.

Still doesn't change the fact that Singapore is a city/state...

I've lived in Singapore. Comparing it to China is like comparing lousiana to soviet Russia.

Indeed.

When and where? I was in The Claymore and Ardmore Park from 2010-2014.

He didn't say that he is ending trade with the U.S. which is encouraging.

Encouraging is it? I could have given you that encouragement before his speech. Obviously he’s not going to end trade with the US. You are getting shrill on this topic.

The CEO of tik tok went to work for China's bytedance , the parent company. Cotton was addressing his ties with the CCP. Which in atiablt you do since you work for the largest revenue generating company in China.

Even my neighbor who is Taiwanese (I live in Taiwan btw) married to a Singaporean told me that Singapore is friendly with China in a bad way.

Tom Cotton was not dumb, he was trying to get the CEO to slip up.

You are looking at it on a per capita base, thats neat but in total they are no where near us.

But I hope you can get whatever it is that you order from Singapore.

I love how people manipulate data to make things sound great but realitiy isnt the same.

If you think Singapore is great, move there. Ill see you when you get back.

The neighborhood I drive into every single day and my surrounding area.

Thats why I base it off of.

Im not like you American apologists. I know from actual travel what the world is like and what it looks like.

Yall can jerk off Singapore, China, Africa thats cool. If you think they hold a candle to this land, move, please move.

Nothing more that I enjoy than watching someone be wrong about a life changing decisison because of ignorance and pride.

It also baffles me how you guys think just because the country as a whole is doing ok that everyone lives like you do. They dont.

There are levels to this game.

I wish I could move there but that window closed. I may move to Malaysia one day, though. Jim Rogers moved to Singapore years ago for a reason.

That does suck, I wish you could move as well. I hope you get to go to Malaysia as soon as possible and never think about this country again.

Good luck.
