  1.  @stevenhenry5267  No. American sanctions didn't come until 3 years after Venezuela collapsed due to Chavez destroying whatever diversified economy it had with price controls, government over-regulation and nationalization and free money along with mismanagement of the oil industry. Never mind the oil prices hitting rock-bottom.

  2. And where is the money going to come from to sustain that quality of life?

  3.  @saiyedakhtar3931  And eventual collapse.

  4. <But the new government came and cuts to social programs was hard felt by the largest portion of citizens. > Those social programs were a burden. The new government came and cut them to help get the country's finances in order after the previous government's fiscal mismanagement.

  5. But that good life is not sustainable without economic productivity. Just ask Greece.

  6. No. Living in the city is a privilege, not a right.

  7. And the world's #1 financial center.

  8. And foreign labor as the citizens are in no shape to work.

  9.  @MehakSohi-jg3mx  But students and temporary residents are exempt from the ban.

  10.  @AbuBased731  While they forget it was the US that made them after WW2.

  11. But Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery.

  12. It's like the rest of Latin America.

  13. Affordable housing is not viable in the face of high real estate and building costs.

  14.  @kevinl8440  No. South Africa is.

  15. What landlords? The Singaporean government is the landlord.

  16.  @ishredder4006  <Socialism and planned economy is the only way forward.> If you want stagnation and mediocrity, yeah!

  17. Given how wasteful and corrupt government are.

  18. The citizenship rules are fine. The wrong path Dubai took was being a welfare state rendering its own citizens useless.

  19. But Argentina was done in by left-wing corruption.

  20. And was a refuge for Nazis after WW2.

  21. <they could pass legislation to regulate rentals.> And watch rental supply shrink with rising prices for whatever remains and a near 0% vacancy rate. <Most of the homeless people are Australians that have been forced out of the market due to greedy landlords.> No. They got driven out of the market by both locals and foreigners who are willing and able to pay the market rate. Housing especially in a desirable locale like Sydney is a privilege, not a right.

  22. Ireland is a socialist basket-case. It's part of the PIIGS for a reason.

  23. Actually, Singapore got kicked out of Malaysia.

  24. No. And not even close.
    2
  25. Exactly.

  26.  @pinyalevelup02  Maybe not, but it was ran into the ground by socialists. If anything, Argentina is yet another example of why socialists are not be trusted with power.

  27. European countries didn't get developed in just the last 3 decades like Dubai and the UAE in general dependent on foreign labor to sustain themselves.

  28.  @Theadalas  Not really. Europe has a relatively high suicide rate. And Russia has the 3rd highest in the world.

  29.  @Ray.garcia7  Not nearly as bad as what France turned Africa into. Many of the poorest countries in the world are former French colonies.

  30. Cities have always been expensive especially when prospering.

  31. 11.4% = half?

  32.  @sumwhatkeezy  Which is more or less the law of the land in some of the countries many immigrants fled from.

  33. @Waka Waka The poster can't lose what he/she never had.

  34. You know only 11.4% of the Americans are poor, right? Where you get this 99% from?
    2
  35. But Japan doesn't have mass immigration.

  36. Apparently, Ireland is that bad.

  37. And being at the mercy of other nations for goods and defense.

  38. But socialism has proven it every single time in the 104-plus years it has been practiced often needing capitalism to make it look remotely viable. After all, socialism is nothing without other people's money.

  39. The Gulf economy only works for locals. Not the foreign migrants who make up the majority of the population.

  40. Not even close. North American cities' problems are zoning restrictions and lax immigration laws.

  41. Especially France.

  42. No. Argentina was destroyed by Argentina.

  43. <Invest in your people the west does with welfare, free schooling, free transit and put a business last.> That is not how Canada became prosperous. Plus, the revenue to fund that welfare, free schooling, etc. was generated by the very same investment and companies you want put last. <Because in Canada, no business here is greater than people of canada, no one.> And presently, Canada is suffering due to it. Taxing "the rich" is not a sustainable way of keeping a country afloat.

  44. Singapore has no more land to build.

  45. Canada where the Prime Minister is elected just barely after the 1st ballot is cast. First-Past-The-Post for the win!

  46. Yet many want out of communist China.

  47. Can't blame the UK for everything.

  48. No. Just the Western world.
