hello 2mar$, i posted a report from the front lines this day to haim Message 29736889

am unsure i shall do so tomorrow, as holidays are more fun either standing shoulder to shoulder w/ revolutionary street crowds populated w/ girlz wearing hot pants, or spent playing with the coconut and jack, snarfing snacks and messing about in the ocean, as opposed to tracking down a revolution that is a bit difficult to keep track of.

my attitude re what is happening in hk is that it is good that folks on all sides are kept alert, especially when the alertness is polite, clean, and actually a bit something in cheek

in the mean time i proceed all-in against the police and department of justice for the wrongs they perpetrated, first as in now administratively, and later, if necessary, through the courts

might as well go all-in for one rarely have the civil SERVANTs by the ... well, never mind ... to victory

everyone must work for a better hong kong, the freest place on this planet

am unsure what CNN was exactly covering in admiralty, for this day there was hardly a soul in admiralty

am guessing that as and whenever some folks poke umbrellas at police, the police may just spray something, since shooting to kill civilians is a chargeable offence in Hong Kong as opposed to Ferguson.

jack practiced up this afternoon, and as we are to dine in causeway bay this evening, am debating whether i should carry his scooter to try out the very rare empty streets



cheers, j

money goes to unproductive assets.and we expect growth?

Progress and success brings its own way to slow both

Suppose me and you won a company. and we do something very simple. we dig trenches and put ducts for water on them.
All our capital went into our firm. we bought second hand machinery hired people and trenched and laid ducts.

Contractors loved to subcontract to us since we were doing serious work. But our machines were breaking down often because they were second hand. We put back profits in a work shop and hired a couple of mechanics. Our machines were now less time idle.

Government changed and invested in infrastructure. Contractors started fighting to hire us. It was a sellers market! We went to the bank and got loan and expanded. Your wife quit the job and come to work for us.
We were good to the employers and they stayed loyal.
Money started pouting in were were doing well.
We scrapped old machinery and had now most new machines. Warehouse. Credit line to buy materials at volume discount.

Then I decided to rent nice office like the competition. Our drab offices were burst to the seams. You and your wife wanted to to renovate and just expand a bit. I went on and rented glitz office.
Then I go all kinds of new office facilities. It looked good but did not add a single extra meter of trench or duct that we could lay.

I bought BMW. My wife was now driving new car too. You still liked to go pick truck as you are a true construction manager

Employees started asking for pay. They saw us dong well and they wanted more money. Turn over went up.
I had enforced Health and Safety and was on site watching closely. but now I was rarely on site. We had two accidents. The contractors did not like the bad publicity. Quality deteriorated because I was not training he new hires.

Your wife was telling you that you were breaking your back working while my shies were always shining. You should also going less to the field.

We started hiring more managers to do our work and we now stopped them working to come to our office for meetings and they spent time doing reporting. Our employees were no longer as happy as before because the new managers had different styles.

Our customers started complaining and we for the first time were not invited to a major project. Contractors were sending a message to us that they were not that happy.

We were no longer growing. We became just another subcontractor.

You see that progress is made of hard work and effort, but the fruits of progress it self, brings success to a halt.

I cold go on we both retiring and our sons and daughters squandering what we built but in the end message would be the same.

You throw more money and growth do not come. In the early stages more money translates into more productivity and economic growth.

there is the fine balance. and everything in life stands on a fine balance.

There is fine balance between: money you spend in productive asses and money that goes in to consumption. if you look to a country that has too much under 14 year old, the country can't be rich

Because there are less arms to work to carry the non working youth. They schools doctors and food. But there Like my father who ad 7 kids. No mater how much he could produce there was never a surplus.

Once the balance tends to the optimum, then there is a lot of working productive people and less idle to be carried, there are surpluses and people become better off.

Can spend more in stuff that increases quality of life. The return is no longer more. The return is now better

There is, again a fine balance between more and better.

If it tends towards the more, (meaning we have a better life but we still work hard) better stays the same. and that better can be supported by the more that we are producing. Germany and Sweden are countries that come to mind.

If that better is not tied to the more we are producing, People lose visibility of from where the money is going to come to pay for our better?
Portugal, Greece and Spain are like that. They started getting he boost of EU investment but forgot to tie that better economic life to a need to work hard and produce to pay for it.
