Re <<no more freedom rock>> Team Hong Kong had always been about freedom to make and keep money, and to come and go. Team Hong Kong had never been about ineffectual voting or about native birthright. Hong Kong undergoing transfusion and had always been the case, except this time different in flavor of migrants, thickness of pocket book, average and median smarts, etc etc, and many already here do not like what they see coming, because they are afraid, rightly so if they cannot or do not want to compete. Given HK does not feature an exit-tax, the dissatisfied can and do go. Net net no particular loss to HK, for HK’s future tests w/ others. Net net I am mega bullish on HK, and the Greater Bay Initiative (HK integration w/ Team China, biotech hub, IPO hub) but cautiously so as far as expression is concerned, for who can know what can happen? High HK industrial real estate, long 0388.HK, 0700.HK, 9988.HK (BABA in US), 1398.HK (Team China Bank), 6185.HK (CoVid play), 2840.HK (GLD), and a short against 0005.HK (HSBC, aka old-HK) Am readying to leverage real estate that so far had not been encumbered, to more fully engage, but need pricing to de-risk. W/r to the Coconut and Jack, you may have watched them grow up by this thread, are prepared to be global citizens, need to go out and then perhaps return should they decide. The HK system (tax, property, citizenship laws) is very helpful to what they need to do. The things to note about HK is that we have a tiny government / civil service, high real estate / low debt, high surplus / low tax, high education / low illiteracy (about everything global), high global integration / low exclusivity, reasonable court / low frivolity, and we tend to not waste or otherwise mill precious time. Medical system also works well. Reflexology system also works really well. Yes, we are low social net but high family-values, but everything nice cost quite a bit. The one downside that is exacerbated by rapid transfusion of people. I generally find several major types of HK folks who gripe about HK: 1. Hk-ers who have never lived outside of HK 2. HK-ers who left HK on wrong premises and cannot return to HK because the prices moved away from their exit price or their evolved circumstances 3. HK-ers who cannot or no longer wish to compete, or otherwise believe HK owes them a birthright livelihood 4. Hk-ers who believe the near-perfection of HK can be improved by lowest-common-denominator for-the-people-by-people-against-other-people rule-by-making-up-rules protocol, not realizing HK is not a Switzerland with its universal education and the task of improving on near-perfection is more often thanklessly tricky Re <<Kamala>> She would not be electable in HK, and would not pass “Go” by the 70M electoral-college of Team China CCP, because she is a socialist. Also unclear a Trump would be able to gain the decision chop in HK. We in HK appreciate the middle, where the majority hangs out whilst working to move along, unbothered to mill the political dimension. Freedom is a fatter wallet. You see what I mean :0)
