- Tichy 19y agoThing is, it sounds like the classic dictator problems: bureaucrats try to solve problems of complex systems top down (like traffic, urban development), which is just not possible. So I doubt a dictator would come up with a good solution.
- delackner 19y agoDespite the old saying that the trains always run on time, just about everything else seems to go to hell. Note Singapore is one of the few modern examples I can think of of a dictatorship that turned out pretty well. Of course the plain-clothes police everywhere probably have something to do with why in two solid days of counting I never saw a single person laugh or grin. I didn't even notice that it had been happening until crossing over to Kuala Lumpur I was struck by seeing laughing and smiling people.
