This morning, a professional photographer shared some information about the latest in digital photography with a friend of mine. In essence, a very good camera is about S$7,000.00. But it'll soon cost you another $7k to get the latest upgrade. By which time the 1st $7grand camera you got was worth only $3,500.00. But production houses, a camera man's customers, would insist you have the latest equipment, however little improvement there may be in the latest gizmo.
Tough?
On another vein, my customers yesterday paid more than $200.00 to get a fengshui master to confirm that their intended business venture can expect to see a good return on the investments very soon, by next year at the latest.
Come to think of it, isn't this what most governments are doing? Telling their citizens they must approve of multi-billion dollar "stimulus packages" to improve the prospective picture of their economies?
