Wrong. The Singapore government does not manage Temasek. It simply owns it. I will concede that it is socialized, nationalized, or whatever, but the company manages its own affairs.Cannonpointer » 22 Jul 2014 11:45 pm » wrote: 2. Link? Our own government manages companies day to day operations?
Which companies?
Also, you don't get to decide what I want. I closely maintain that office, and respect your right to decide what you want. The government sets policy and Temasek carries it out - play My Little Pony with that fact to your precious little heart's content, young lady.
The definition of socialism does not change because you girls are instructed be Heritage to radically alter your definitions on the fly. You can worship at the memory hole, but I remain conscious. I won't pretend you are not changing your definitions because otherwise your claims against socialism are proved false.
