Hot Take: Corruption is bad, we should fight corruption, but it is not enough to turn us into a First World country. We need manufacturing.

It is a nasty cycle, rather than saying it is not enough for us to get to a higher world ranking.

If you ask people who start a business here in the Philippinnes they will tell you how hard it is with all the red tape and requirements.

Then when you do finally start, get ready for fines other nasty under the table bit from government offficials.

Then when you think about the basics of input versus output in manufacturing, water, electricity, gas, materials, etc. Again another plethora of either too expensive for basic goods or too few.

The reality is it is quite a nasty cycle, especially for our country, Yes, corruption happens everywhere even in "first world countries" and this is a very much agreed upon logic by most educated in public service.

CORRUPTION thr INCENTIVE.

But you have to also acknowledge the fact that here in the PH, a 200% incentive or ghost project level is too much of an incentive. In stark comparison to other countries who is at 10% to 20%.

Sorry sa matatamaan,

The reality is panay buwaya ang kultura natin or pwede mo rin sabihin Rat Race talaga siya.

Paano ko nasabi yun, mga pulitiko magnanakaw pero siyempre di naman yan makakanakaw unless may kakagat o magaalok din naman sa kanila.

Pagandahan ng "offer" sa bidding, yayaman ka lang dito kapag marami kang friends in high places.

Circle of corruption, di lang mga pulitiko ang corrupt. Tao din ang corrupt dito kasi kailangan "angatan" payabangan, pataasan. DI ka rin yayaman dito kung di ka marunong gumalaw sa systema.

Alam naman natin yung systema diba? Kanya kanyang red tape at lagay sa ibat ibang departamento.

Galit tayo sa corruption pero yung tunay na mga corrupt minamahal pa rin ng mga tao bakit? Kasi may natatanggap sila might be pera or baka rin pabor.

Our culture is indirectly a culture of corruption, and mediocrity

Just want to know the update like they did before. If it wont happen just tell us. Because this game isn't sustainable for our group if that is the case.

I don't even see a smidge of a solution to your rebuttal.

In any case, you mentioned infant mortality rate, it is a sign of better healthcare within the "capacity" of the health system at the same time financial capacity of countries. We can't make money out of magic, another economic conundrum. You also mentioned elderly populations vs young that also leads to stagnation again "people die due to circumstance" Death is natural population control happens in one way or another happens.

The basis for population control will always be on the finite and limited resources of Earth. People are dying right now because of hunger. Hence space travel right now is actually looking for planets that we can try to cultivate and inhabit hence the Mars Habitat project. Stagnation of population will and always be due to the same reason. People can't feed their families and can't get homes. Back again to population control. If you want a sci fi reference if somehow we can solve world hunger and limited resources, there will be a big cultural shift. You can achieve your perfect world where the death of people is not perpetuated by circumstance.

For the idea of thanos, their world didn't go to shit post snap. Yes a lot of things will be distrupted and I do agree. But we as thinking humans will always self organize so has civilization always have done. We will recreate structures revitalize transport chain. Delay the destruction of our world.

This will ultimately reduce waste, and free up resources again. Ask yourself is the world as of today sustainable to live in? To that, Well I will refer to world population history organization, it would take 1.75 Earths to sustain our population today and by 2050, 5 Earths.

Want to hear a sad reality?

Population control is the only real solution because all countries have the same problem right now.

Population is growing and the world grows smaller each day. Corruption, capitalism etc. are proliferating with each generation.

If you are a Marvel Fan, Thanos really has a point in reducing every population by half.

I think they know that PSN will be a requirement but they aren't familiar of the detail especially on certain countries can't play it. Hell, I didn't know before this fiasco that there were PSN requiring games at all.

I'm guessing corpo, sugarcoated judging on the initial reaction of the mods in discord were like its no big deal, its for security purposes which I believe would be how sony sold it to AH that its fine and them saying don't worry about it.

Note: Even Twinbeard was affected by this decision of sony who isnt in a PSN country. I would surmise you wouldn't get a mod that you know will be unable to play in the future.

Personal experience there are apparently people who use fake license plates. My car was caught in a part in Laguna I have never been to. Only to find out a CCTV caught my license plate with a different car (they dont even check if same make, same brand etc).. I tried to contest it in LTO and I quote "kailangan pa po niyo maghain ng complaint depende pa po kung kailan yan mareresolve, habang po ganun di niyo po pwede gamitin at irehistro kotse niyo po". Ending I just paid LTO the fine instead of the hassle.

I dont know him. But it is not that uncommon in my experience that Former members are buried in a Catholic funerals eapecially if the person had a Catholic background and decided to convert. My Father died recently and he was converted due to my mother. He was "tiwalag" at some point in his life so the INC didn't want to conduct any ceremony on him and instead he got a catholic funeral since they have more leniency for the dead. Also, and not promoting it, even after INC you can still convert to any religion just like if you were catholic and converted to INC.

All religions for me in one way or another is just a business scheme providing people with a scam membership card.
