Proof yet again that in Hong Kong the big guys always win
Standardised working hours? Forget about it. Decent, affordable homes? Get back in your boxes. Michael Chugani is not surprised there isn’t a Bill Gates among our tycoons
Game over. The big guys won. The little guys lost. As always. Get used to it, little guys. You never win.
You were blockheads to think the big guys would at least have the conscience not to plunder your pensions any longer and allow you decent working hours.
Hong Kong, Asia’s world city, has over half a million people who earn HK$11,000 or less a month. No one batted an eyelid when this became apparent after the government rejected standardised working hours.
Property tycoons are allowed to put just a small batch of new flats on the market and watch gleefully while knucklehead little guys fight to pay inflated prices for them.
Then the tycoons put out another batch after raising prices by 10 per cent. And still the knuckleheads fight to buy.
You may wonder why there isn’t a Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, or Mark Zuckerberg among Hong Kong’s tycoons who use their fortunes to rid the world of poverty and disease because they know they can’t take their money with them.
Stop wondering. Our tycoons know if they did that, they would be letting the little guys win. Besides, our tycoons love the colour of money too much.
