Singapore obviously had a lot of differences, particularly the PM's past close relationship with the unions, and the early stage of development making it more rational for workers to ride the common prosperity of high economic growth rates instead of squeezing more percentage points in negotiation.
But Sweden can still outlaw selective parts unloading by dockworkers, forcing an all-or-nothing strike, if it wanted to, and enforce such laws.
And I don't know why you'd call Singapore parasitic; they weren't leeching off anybody, other than the British early on.
From his memoirs "The Singapore Story", Chapter 6, "Winning Over the Unions", on the ports:
> Recounting Britain's prodigal years of crippling dock strikes which led to the devaluation of the pound sterling in 1967, I warned, "If that happens here at our harbour I will declare this high treason. I will move against the strike leaders. Charges will be brought in court later. I will get the port going straight away. The Singapore dollar will never be devalued and I think the people of Singapore expect this of their government." I spotlighted the "selfishness of established labour." Cargo handled by the Port of Singapore Authority in 1967 increased by winning over the unions over 10 percent, but the number of workers employed did not go up because the extra work was all taken up by overtime. This was immoral at a time of high unemployment. I told the union delegates that we must rid ourselves of pernicious British-style trade union practices.
A very interesting book; of course, it's his side of the story.
For computers, it's surely that common office keyboards have changed from awful squishy keys to units that are more chiclet-like, or even if not, still have a better key action for a rubber dome keyboard.
The thing is, by the time you get to this book, most students have probably taken DiffEq or multivariable calculus, and had exposure to linear algebra there. (If not in high school.)
No. Their presumed nukes are more useful as a deterrent against more capable enemies that might develop their own nukes. And they'd immediately become an absolute pariah state. That would damage them in every way.
I'm not an author or artist or creator of any kind, but if some guy made a bunch of "plot summary" videos of my work, I'd want him hunted down and sentenced to hard labor.
> Truthfully I don't think this is an issue the federal government is in a position to solve any time soon. The long and short is that our population has grown faster than our supply of housing,
Federally they can do an immigration moratorium. Immigration-driven population increase is clearly making quality of life worse for Canadians.
