The net RESULTS are just statistical results that do not look into detail on how the results are distributed. The returns of the country's performance are not distributed equally and equitably across the population. Many are actually worse off than before.

I know that. I hear the same story daily about how the poor are worse off and the income gap is getting wider. However, my contention is that it does not matter.

At the end of the day, it's survival of the fittest. It is the competition for scarce resources that ensures the long term survival of the species.

We like to think we're a class above the rest of the living world but it doesn't alter the fact that we are part and parcel of the evolutionary process.

In the wild, a bitch has 12 pups but she doesn't have 12 nipples.

Up to half the pups are going to die within a few hours. Life is always a battle. The poor in Singapore either have to shift into a higher gear or they starve to death. That's life.
