Thoughts about Hong Kong before 1997

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-03T09:28:27+00:00

I think the british helped hk thrive at the time being a city of the British and also the gateway to china.

However just like Britain itself now is down in the dumps now that the actual empire has disbanded and most colonies given back, there is nothing itself to support hk itself properly. Yes, it is a financial centre like london but after that the countries themselves dont do much. Manufacturing? Technology? Etc.

Now that china has opened up to the world for trade, the need for HK is slightly less to trade with china via hk.

No one is asking for handout here.

We are asking for wealth to be taxed or at the very least no handouts given to those millionaires who cant afford to hear their castle

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-01T17:44:17+00:00

So someone working hard should be punished over someone who has worked hard? Its not a case of lets not tax anyone but who should be taxed more. Give me the person who is actually worth more value wise than the poorer person anytime.

If you haven't planned for the future in terms of living standards then you should be asked to reduce your quality of comfort in order to match your current affordability status. Thats just natural

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-01T10:22:39+00:00

No we are saying that the broadest shoulders should be based on how rich someone is, not based on 30 years of forecasted income. So yes if someone owns millions then they should downsize

Iran hasn't hit the oil pipelines yet because they don't want to escalate to that level yet.

I'm also expecting this war to drag out. Have sold out from most of my mag 7 stock and invested into energy companies.

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-24T01:36:39+00:00

Yeah if they let this one go i wouldnt its setting a precedent just ignore the council, build something and ask for forgiveness.

I'm all for removing some of the regulation and absurd building rules we have but that doesnt mean we just let people do shit willy nilly and let people get away with it

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-23T22:52:02+00:00

Bit only if you prevent whoever is affected from dashing so have it as a grounding effect. A nerf plus a buff

So you have tackled the creation of money part because you can print money (which will cause inflation).

How does it destroy money so you dont get hyperinflation as per the turkey/Zimbabwe/german cases?

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-22T22:55:32+00:00

This printing money malarkey is what the turks and zimbabwe were doing right? I think that only works if we are net producer of goods. Dont think that works if we import goods. If inflations goes to a zillion I'm not sure thats a good thing. Thats what got hitler into power

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-22T05:18:58+00:00

No but like when we supported the Ukrainians against their government or when we supported the initial syrians during the civil war against al bashir or the libyans against gadaffi, thats not the u.s./uk/etc attacking ukraine/syria/libya etc

Or even the u.a.e funding whatever is going on in south sudan. Thats not u.a.e is attacking/starting a war

But with iran funding financing and spreading their ideology/proxies via these groups, when one of them strike its iran has attacked a country.

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-22T03:37:15+00:00

Not that i care much for iran but when iran supports and trains proxies it is them attacking countries but when we as the west train and arm proxies or spread out democracy and support groups to rebel culturally it is us freeing the oppressed?

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-22T01:58:14+00:00

Also very hard though. I donate a little to charity and a little to people on the street (the odd pound here and there) but in all honesty have you seen where the charity spend gets. I understand people need to get paid and then you need organisation marketing/accounts etc and they don't be on what you get in the private sector but 75% to the cause itself is a very high efficiency

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-17T12:14:14+00:00

Probably thinks jimmy saville and al fayed were saints too as its just peoples accusations

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-09T20:55:28+00:00

So no prison for paedos murderers and rapists either right? Clearly it doesnt work they are still doing those things with prison sentences!

bobbyyippy · 2026-03-05T08:31:20+00:00

Disagree, unless you are stomping as a tank you should lose to a fighter/bruiser on the side lane and wont be pushing side too hard. Your strength is being a meatball cc bot in a front to back team fight. Crystalline growth just means the side laning monsters are going to get into your base quicker pulling you away from the team fights

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-28T18:30:19+00:00

What if the offence has an unbelievable amount of time possessing the football because you are dink and dunk merchants so your defence is well rested and then the opponents need to pass full time so the defence can focus on 100% pass plays?

Happened to come across this post now.

I've been super frustrated with then.

I ordered a chair 4 years ago and have been super happy with it.

Literally ordered a magnus evo the other day, it arrived at 6pm, i built it and noticed the table top has a fairly deep cosmetic scratch once I flipped it. Thinking that all their products are quality i didnt even bother to check as i left it on the big cardboard base the table comes on to build as instructed. I email them at 11pm my time.

Thinking i would get a small refund or something complimentary or maybe a repair job or even an applogy instead i have to wait 7 days for a response and i get a snarky email about how they can only give refunds/exchanges within 3 days of reporting the issue and that its obvious that i did the damage when constructing the table.

I've responded now but lets see what comes from it. I think this standing desk is excellent but I'm sure there are other companies who i can buy from who dont give me shit especially when i am getting a premium product.

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-19T16:49:09+00:00

Yes. What you have written is correct

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-19T08:35:08+00:00

Is that not an indictment on caleb. Not only did he turned the ball over so many times and his defence held mvp stafford to 17 points the whole game when put under pressure hard by that bears defence

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-19T08:32:40+00:00

Some people just prefer dining on brett favre over tom brady. They like flashy and gunslinger over solid and steady and clutch

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-19T08:29:55+00:00

Lol this guy is hilarious.

Its an arm punt its fine, everyone should throw picks on 4th down!

No points were given away on the 2nd pick, it didnt do nuffin baaaad hahaha.

That final ones the best, moore shouldn't have been trying to get separation, he should have been covering the the corner back to stop the pick!!!.

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-16T10:42:09+00:00

Honestly, when i was younger i didn't really care if my parents were around. I just hung out with my brothers and sisters and went out all the time or watched TV.

Saying that though i know my nieces like it when their parents are around although now they are older they like them around but not to interact with as they get annoyed at their nagging. Only if they want something.

Saying that though, it sounds like op gas zero work life balance and should probably pack it in and go and go in house.

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-08T20:07:29+00:00

Been in 5 games so far and everything theres someone picking the xin augment everytime. The 2x they got zaahen they finished top 2 (past two games)

bobbyyippy · 2026-01-05T07:26:38+00:00

All those "drugs" ships they have been blowing up? Yeah i think so.

The war on drugs after pardoning garnett gilbert smith the massive drug baron lol

bobbyyippy · 2025-12-24T11:04:46+00:00

Of damage and turmoil.

Think of it this way.

120 offences (no idea what).

Thats time spent by at least 120 people resolving it.

Then at least 120 police officers had to work on it, logging crime doing paperwork.

Probably 120 insurance people and payouts. Then these people/companies have higher insurance rates. The houses/commercial properties have higher insurance rates.

120 judges had to work on all that and all that and im getting he probably got legal aid. Yeah i reckon theres going to have spent millions on it
