They increase the price of everything that they have their hands on, from transport and petrol, to utilities. These are painful to the everday people. When cost of fuel goes up, they increase. When cost of fuel came down, they refuse to reduce.
And they very happily can tell ppl.. dun take cab, dun this, dun tat...

They can say.. oh... we have buses for handicapped! But they simply neglect to mention tat NOT all services allow, some who cater simply does not stop coz mafan, or packed durin peak hrs

So those in wheelchair have to spend $$ take cab, engage pte services, or need a car.

Seriously... I'm gettin really annoyed at their little "speeches". Nothing constructive, shutdafup.

Their speeches are like rubbing salt into our open wounds, and the little snide remarks after to try to cover.. is like adding freshly squeezed lemon for their flavour.

very good spot, bro. there is definitively some perverse "survival bias" at work here.

in fact the whole CPI index is skewed in this sense. It is a weighted index, so things that people buy more gets more weight. But if an item is priced so high that it becomes out of reach for most people, it gets a smaller weighting in the CPI, even if people want the product badly.

the CPI only measures the cost of living. But how much has the cost of dreams accelerated?

An Empire will cease to exist when they become distanced from the ground, where the public doesn't accept them anymore.

The more these pappies continue with their ego boasting speeches and salt rubbing (onto our wounds) snaps, the faster the empire will fall.
