I was expected to ask her to wash my clothes, for example, and prepare whatever [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Singapore is an IQ shredder, Spandrell has pointed out. How does an IQ Shredder work? The basic machinery is not difficult to describe, once its profound socio-historical irony is appreciated. The model IQ Shredder is a high-performance capitalistic polity, with a strong neoreactionary bias. Its level of civilization and social order is such that it [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Straight-laced Singapore has become the world&#8217;s newest Monaco: When most people think of Singapore, if they do at all, they think of an order-obsessed Asian version of Wall Street or London&#8217;s Canary Wharf, only with implausibly clean, sterile streets and no crime. The southeast Asian city-state of five million people is perhaps best known for [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why would a fanatical libertarian live in Singapore? First, it is a myth that democracies (read: dictatorship of the masses) by definition offer more benevolent living conditions. In my experience, democracies have seeds of self-destruction. Singapore, on the other hand, is more like a family-run corporation &#8212; a political system I prefer over democracy. Here [&#8230;]]]></description>

A look at its operations reveals much about how to run a top-notch airport—and ways other airports could improve. The airport offers amenities found elsewhere [&#8230;]]]></description>

Their politicians are regularly tested in elections and have to make themselves available to their constituents; but since the government knows it is likely to win, it can take a long [&#8230;]]]></description>

This is fairly fundamental to the system and is not likely to change. [&#8230;]]]></description>

In it, Bryan Caplan explains, there is only one country that he positively seems to envy &#8212; Hong Kong: Hong Kong had a bleaker economic and political environment in 1949, totally dependent on the mainland&#8217;s restraint.

I like, for example, the free, easy and open relations between people regardless of social [&#8230;]]]></description>
