Past the peak. Singapore caught up in Rich vs Poor, Us vs Them politics?

There appears to be a backlash against the Rich since the GFC.

The "Us vs Them" protests had also became very powerful, leading to government collapse/civil war in African and Middle East countries

From the 99% protest to protest in Europe. In Asia, we are not spared as well with street protest in Malaysia over submarine purchases and a simple case of Ferrari crash.

Governments are mollycoddling banks, while leaving taxpayers to foot the bill trough austerity measures and stagflation "tax"

America is still at 0.25% interest rate and getting into more debt to fund its lifestyle.

What the fuck is happening?

Have we seen the best years of relative world peace after the Cold War?

Anyone care to comment?

The elites get richer at the expense of the rest of the populace. A backlash is overdue.

If only people could still believe that they can comtinue to live to an ripe old age in this mayan calender year.

Like who knows like a 20 years old could be killed by just a taxi ride one fine day a Ferrari could crash at her?
