When something is desirable, the “one per cent” grabs it.

That was gentrification. Now comes plutocratisation: the middle classes and small companies are falling victim to class-cleansing. Global cities are becoming patrician ghettos.

Sums it up.

Welcome to the ghetto life.

Since time immemorial the elite have always used every means at their disposal especially political influence to build a haven for themselves. In fact, it is often that the economic elite and political elite are one and the same thing. Poor are always marginalised as a result.

I see this is a good trend. It means that all the good genes are concentrated in one place and can therefore improve the species by leaps and bounds.

Easy target though.

Do they really care..????

They can use $150 million of our taxpayer money to stage the FI night race...to cater for the rich and powerful with the thrill and spills.

They even wanted to do another race circuit in Changi but was scrapped..

The $150 million is more meaningfully spent ..to grow the economy and bring in the rich here

They do"nt seem to care if a poor mother is stressed and throw her 9 years of child off the parapet..
