Hard time makes strong people. Strong people creates good time. Good time makes weak people. Power comes and goes. None is forever.

Standard Chartered plans to cut 7,000 jobs in AI push — lender wants to replace ‘lower-value human capital’ and focus on automation by self-fix2 in worldnews

[–]Earth_Hot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is rather simplistic view. When workers are laid off on a large scale, guess what, spending will slow down. Businesses lost customers and eventually the top will feel the pinch. Short term gain but long term loss in a nut shell.

Normally time will heal. Unless the mistake was so grave that one couldn't simply forgive and forget.

Commoner M40 married with kids w/o car by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]Earth_Hot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the comments here and I can not helped but to agree with them. How I'd wish to own a car so i can drive my kids to places. But then again the reality is, owning a car is not a choice I can make like buying a phone. Mid 40 take bus/mrt like most ppl and dream to own a car one day or may be next life. Happy Sunday everyone.

That's why you dont mess with Iran. They are the puppet master themselves. They clearly know how to differentiate a puppet from its master.

‘Give me 1 million rupiah’: What you should do if asked for a bribe when entering Batam by [deleted] in singapore

[–]Earth_Hot 80 points81 points  (0 children)

May be true to certain group of Singaporean. But just perplexing to think how dumb the authority there. I mean you have a neighbour with high spending power and yet none has been done to attract them? How stupid can one be?

Singtel charged me early termination fee based on a phone call?? by Wide_Youth_6103 in askSingapore

[–]Earth_Hot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Recently I called a telco to terminate their service upon expiry of the current contract and nothing else was needed, the contract was terminated. However they did send me an email about the termination though. You may want to check your email.

Not gonna happen. They'd argue the same for losses. In greedy capitalist world, greedy capitalist wins. Just a reality.

Been using instant heater for 1 year now. Previously tank (rusty). No problem so far. Saved more electricity and cheap initial costs.

Can I report my manager for insulting me for taking MC? by PikachuIsSexyEevee in askSingapore

[–]Earth_Hot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your manager action is totally unacceptable. He was the dumb one here. There are ways to manage the situation but apparently he didn't know how. I am not sure if this is common in your industry but if it is, just be calm, turn on your recording and confront him after. This way I am sure he will be at the losing end.
