THERE IS NO PRIDE IN THIS ADVENTURE...THIS IS THE ECONOMY FOR THE RICH ONLY...
SO THE RICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE RICH AND THE POOR WILL CONTINUE TO BE POOR...
THE GAP BETWEEN THESE 2 CLASSES WILL CONTINUE TO WIDEN AS TIME PASSED...
TO ME...IT'S A SHAME...TO SEE THE POOR LAOTIAN PEOPLE NEXT DOOR REMAIN POOR AS BEFORE BEHIND THE SUPERMALL POOR ALLEYS...
I DON'T THINK THE POOR LAOTIANS BE ABLE TO EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY THOSE EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS IN THE MALL...
THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAN AFFORD ARE JUST THE CHINESE MERCHANDS AND THE FOREIGNERS/TOURISTS/AND THE LAO LEADERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ONLY...
THE REAL BENEFICIARIES ARE NOT THE STREET LAOTIANS BUT THE LAOTIAN LEADERS AND THE CHINESE MALL OWNERS...
TOO BAD...
THE REAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPEMENT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUD...
FOR EXAMPLE...
THE LAO GOVERNMENT SHOULD MAKE MONEY AVAILABLE TO THE LAOTIAN MERCHANDS WHO ARE ABLE TO RUN A BUSINESS AND LET THEM OPEN THEIR OWN SHOPS AND EARN THE PROFITS THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES...THIS WAY THE REAL LAOTIANS CAN BE SELF SUPPORT AND THE FUTRE OF THEIR CHILDREN CAN BE BRIGHTER...
or
THE LAO GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO OPEN THE COMMNERCIAL INDUTRIES LIKE MAKING CLOTHES AND SHOES AND HIRE MANY LAO MANAGERS TO RUN THE COMPANIES AND HIRE MANY LAOTIAN WORKERS TO DO THE LABOR...GIVE THEM GOOD WAGES SO THEIR CAN SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES...EVERY LAOTIAN SHOULS HAVE A JOB AND EARN SOME INCOME...
SELLING THOSES CLOTHES AND SHOES CHEEP ENOUGH SO ALL THE LAOTIANS CAN BUY THEM...THIS WAY THE GOOD LIFE CAN COME TO EVERYONE...
THIS IS THE WAY TO GO...
NOT THE BIG SHOPPING MALLS...THAT THE POOR LAOTIANS CAN ONLY DO...WINDOW SHOPPING...(YOU CAN LOOK BUT YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY...)
