When they first bought it, did they study the structure of the ship?
I am sharing with you 2 interesting pictures I bumped into:
It is surreal seeing per capita ranking in the official IMF website of Taiwan > Korea > Japan. BTW, at USD 85.37K. Singapore is ranked 5th at USD 88.45K; Macau is ranked 9th at USD 78.96K; Hong Kong is ranked 21st at USD 56.31K. Time has changed while I am getting old as my old world have already been turned upside down.

The funny thing about "Indian" history is that it doesn't even originate in India. The word india itself is derived from Indus River/Valley which is almost entirely in Pakistan. What the foreigners in the ancient and middle ages called hind/hindustan were the states situated in the Indus Valley; the rest of (today's) India was an unknown backwater, product of an insignificant Dravidian and Gangetic (not Indus) stock. Indus Valley Civilization, Harappa, Mehrgarh, Mohenjodaro, Taxila, Gandhara.. all these ancient sites are in Pakistan.
When foreign armies marched to conquer Hind, they stopped the conquest at around and annexed the Indus Valley. Much later in history, foreigners began conquering the Gangetic plains (current north India, leading to Bangladesh).
Note how they all stop around the Indus Valley. What was beyond the Indus historically was insignificant. For most of history, these sites were also non-Hindu.
Incidentally, the introduction of the Vedas (the oldest books of Hinduism) are believed to have been brought to the region also by foreign invaders from Central Asia. So, even the original Hinduism itself is a product not native to modern India.
Indian nationalists have formulated a totally fictitious history where everything originated in modern India and Hinduism, basically all the arrows of historic migrations and conquests put in reverse: Hinduism originated in India, Indus Valley Civilization was Hindu and Indian, populations living as far as Tamil Nadu descend from the Indus Valley, etc. Using this fiction, Indians fabricate false premises, just like the Ashkenazi, of laying claim to foreign territories.
Most of US increase in GDP is service inflation without devaluation. Stagflation of high interest rates and high inflation actually helps US nominal GDP:
1. high inflation means higher nominal GDP since nominal GDP growth is real GDP growth + inflation.
2. high interest rates devalues other developed country currencies by causing capital flight to the USD and forces them to also raise interest rates which suppresses their GDP.
US agricultural and industrial value added is still far lower than China.
Same is true for SK vs Taiwan. Taiwan is more services as % while SK is more industry as %.
Salaries in UAE on avg much higher than Qatar so how come Qatar so high GDP per capita. even older report where Qatar has that world cup boost. it still within 20% of UAE. ( Per Capita by itself an Avg Value not a Median). Take all the Production and divide by People is GDP per capita. Take all the salaries and divide by people you get avg salaries.

Peter Thiel better watch out. In the same interview with Joe Rogen he says he's thinking of moving to another country mentioning Costa Rica. Single American men who go to Costa Rica go there to do something they would be thrown in prison if they did it in the US.
Lai has been on an anti-corruption drive (LOL).
Gao Hongan from Ko's party was sentenced to jail recently and Ko himself has been in a public war of words with his accountant over irregularities in campaign donations.
