1 star I happy oredi!
Technology and advancement not the only reason to migrate. Pace of life, time to spend with family, no need to chiong like siao everyday are equally valid. See in singapore and most of the world, if you are not a winner, you are a loser. You said so yourself have to move to digital or face death. In Canada, you can work 8 hours a day 5 days a week will never face death. No matter what job you do. Even garbage man has full ability to buy a house, feed and school his kids and if he doesn't blow it on alcohol and drugs can send them to uni. Most GP's do not make too much more than most electricians if both work similar hours. A fireman can make more than both.
In places like Canada and the nordic countries, just keeping yourself happily busy enough is how the economy is set up. Work too hard, they tax you like siao. In other words, being a winner in the game of money success is something they discourage!! If you win in sports or research ok, but money is something everyone should have equally so that everyone should have more or less equal life. Did I mention that all doctors pay in Canada is controlled and paid for by garmen only? You can ask nayr69. Right now, I think they are cutting his pay. You drive nice car people likely to think worse of you. This is weird socialist thinking.
Of course, socialists will say that your progress or die capitalist thinking is weird.
Which system makes you happy is another question.
This one is not my dept.
