I'm not sure I am convinced that Saverin should have renounced, I think that decision may end up a modern example of Solon's advice to Croesus, but maybe that is just my western liberal prejudice against Singapore coming through.

> my western liberal prejudice against Singapore

What is there to be prejudiced against for Singapore? It is a singularly good place to live by basically every metric an actual human being could care about. Low crime, clean, high resident satisfaction, good schools, etc.

hmm, well there we can see I was wrong, I just went to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index I was sure Singapore was registered as a Hybrid regime but I can see it is listed as a flawed democracy, if that's correct and I guess I'll assume it is as I'm not planning to move there anyway then there isn't a reason to hold anything against them, given that very few countries are better than flawed Democracy.

on edit: still criminal system seems overly harsh.

[bryanrasmussen]

yes, I'm aware of his wealth, hence my referring to Solon and Croesus.
