As we muddle through stimulus packages (sounding like sex tours, say comedians like Jay Leno), expert forecasts (remember the guys who said the US crisis' impact on Singapore would not be too adverse?) and so on.....I recalled an old cliche : necessity is the mother of invention.
If so, it is certainly necessary to think more creatively, not simply muddle through more "same old, same old". To climate change guys, come on, be like Bruce Willis in Armageddon! Remember, they blew up a comet or something to save the earth? To the money guys, please redistribute wealth. Nationalise wealth, not banks too big to fail. Either way, the critics will sharpen their knives at you. They care not that they have no better alternatives; not their job.
Let me show you a game I saw. See photo. You pay about $0.20 per try to fish the prawn. The mechanism's quite interesting, although you can't tell from the picture. If you succeed, just grill on the barbecue cooker next to the store. You fail, well, the storekeeper's got spare change. I don't see it in Singapore.
