mind:blank

right, so there's nothing on my mind now, but i feel the urge to post something. so by hook or by crook, i'll fish out something from my head!

aha so here it is: 

ok wait my mind's pretty much a blank. 

aha ok
so my cousin's cousin was explaining to me, after i complained to him about the way the rich were hoarding their wealth, that the problem with AFRICA had a lot to do with their leadership. 
because their resources were tangible things(diamonds, minerals), unlike singapore, which is our so-called talent, their way to success was to FIGHT for said resources. and hence, the corruption, the poor staying poor, the president suddenly getting very rich and disappearing, the CIVIL WARS. 
so what does that have to do with africa being poor? 
the instability of the country and its economy.
hence that rich old white man doesn't even want to set up his sweat shop in zimbabwe because it might get torn down to bits and pieces in a few months. 
and the problem with that is (correct me if i'm wrong all you econs people) that once a shop gets torn down, it means that the $x it took to set up the shop is just wiped off the face of the earth. although money is being printed like mad nowadays, i guess the fact that the money disappears isn't diminished by that.
ok enough of all that rhetoric. told you i'd dig something up. just came back from a bjj class so i'm pretty much blank in my head(although some of you would propose that it's been that way all along).
so, it's time to GRAB SOME SHUTEYE. GOODNIGHT
