as though you were just the fodder for the greedy machine

never assume the "system" is "built for you"

always craft a "Plan B"

always look forward, not be resigned to your fate

I feel like being the Boxer, the horse, a dedicated, hardworking, and loyal animal who represents the exploited working class and is betrayed and sold to the glue factory by the manipulative pigs when he's no longer useful, symbolizing the tragic fate of loyal laborers. When he collapses from overwork, the pigs send him to a knacker (slaughterhouse) for whisky money, telling the other animals he died peacefully in a hospital.

Take wisdom for some of us to see the Animal Farm.
Some of us are still happily being the sheep, cow and chickens.
And I also dunno how to break free of the farm.

Sg is worse off imo.

Japan korea etc have resources so still can sustain and export. Sg has no resource aside from human and maybe location for air travel.

But we import humans instead of use locals, and air travel imo will dwindle as plane tech improve to allow longer direct flights. Also our planes (SQ) are old, we are no longer the youngest fleet. Even sq planes got masking tape here and there. I used to be proud of sq when young. But now feel like they are just profit maxxing.

Our closest comparison used to be hk. But now hk is under china, the dynamics is different and they no longer have issues with resources aside from the locals insisting they want to stay in hkg island. Many have moved to shenzhen / zhuhai / overseas for better quality of life. Those hkg locals i think afew more gen no more already

Let it Worse off lor...

Can't be helped one la...

You are supposed to be like Animal Farm's Boxer, so stop complaining.

He remained useful even after the end, sold to the knacker to make glue.
Can't really say the same for a sinkie.

To be a pig, you either are already born one or have the stars aligned in your bazi to be one.
Or else dun waste your time and effort.

Being awaken will bring you more pain and suffering if you dun have any hack or cheat code to game the system.

In Animal Farm, the pigs were subservient to Farmer Jones until they decided enough was enough and seized power. They weren't born. They made their own way, even as they ultimately fell to the ways of their oppressors.

They earned the right to oppress so to speak. Is there another challenger?

New piglets born into power will be innately weaker than the tough old boars and sows. Chance?

Why not? They will use you to milk money from your kids for your medical. Even your wake also contribute taxes. Funeral parlour also have to pay corporate tax.

I hope the kids are taught better than to assume their parents' medical debt. Let the hospital claim what is due from your estate and let it end there if your estate is insolvent.

The rest is all within expectations. Get a cheap pine or cardboard box instead of some fancy hardwood. Dead is dead.

To add on, being a fodder doesn't mean you exempted from paying tax and fulfilling ns liabilities
