Now population only 4.5 million. Target 6 million. Still way to go. 1.5 million more only. Where got supply problem?

Hence no worry.; September 08, 2009 1:33 PM

Expect a lot of spinning in the next decade when a lot of govt and media would have us to believe that we are ok, no Great Depression etc.

For a glimpse of what you are going to see the next decade, check Japan's lost decade of 1990s. It would be lots of spinning, deflation that will be masked (why? becoz it is a global lost decade and the govt/rich pple of high income countries do not like deflation), low economic growth, property prices that refuse to come down, volatile stock market, lots of contract/temp jobs, a "M" society etc.

Fortunately, this applies to high-income countries with inflated assets. Your best bet is to move to emerging markets and start life from afresh again.; September 08, 2009 2:14 PM
