在網上看到一篇我認同的文章。正如我之前曾經說過的，香港政府如果要幫助貧困家庭，最重要的不是提供多少金錢補助給他們，而是要提升他們的勞動技能和在勞動市場的競爭力。並發展新的經濟使得這些隨著被淘汰的工業一起被勞動市場淘汰的工人有新的發展空間和機會。 金錢補助只能解決一時之困，幫助他們重新進入勞動市場和提升勞動技能才是長久之計。（換句話說，也就是解決 Social Mobility 的問題）。
So then what is the issue？我們要解決的，其實是更深層次的Social Mobility（or Lack of，社會流動性）。基層市民已愈難找到生活質量提升的途徑，例如，30年前大家有個明確的目標，知道上大學是改善生活的一個好法門，但現今大學生與碩士生舉目皆是，覺得前途茫茫絕不為過。社會福利雖然能紓緩部分經濟壓力，卻治標不治本，不能整體解決Social Mobility 這基本問題。最怕是大家習以為常，陷入長期倚靠社會福利的Welfare State，相信今日瀕臨破產邊緣的希臘 就是典型例子。與其我們在貧富懸殊上爭吵不休，倒不如大家專心討論及解決香港現今Lack of Social Mobility這困局好了。

Social mobility is only used to dope people these days.

One of the reasons HK people get poor is the industries used to be the supporting pillar of 香港經濟騰飛 were eliminated and faded out the economy. People who were employed by or trained for the jobs were eliminated along with them.
When there is no new economy and new opportunities for the growing up generation, we should be able to expect the kind of situation to be.
One of my friends returned to HK and he told me that HK is not an environment to encourage and welcome 實業, but instead it would encourage people to 投資 (或更確切來說是投機). So he basically used his money to" 投資" instead of establishing a business (實業) to create jobs.
And who is it to blame?

I had said it many time before, the government is the one to be blamed.
But it doesn't mean I would agree with the opinions of other people who would only demand the government to give out cash and believe that is the solution.

In an ideal world, I would not demand the government to just hand out cash to the citizens either. But HK is far from an ideal world, and the HKSAR admin has repeatedly demonstrated that they have no vision, no leadership, and worse of all, no ability to do anything right at all. They only thing they sort of know and is reasonably good at is to suck and lick Grandfather's toes.
With that in mind, would you want to see them try and put together any sort of government program in HK? With new generally elected leadership, that would be an idea worth pursuing. But given the current crop of useless morons, I'd much rather see them attempt nothing at all and just return the money that rightfully belongs to HK people instead. Give the HK folks their money back, and let them use it as they see fit to save themselves. In general, HK folks are still smart enough to do that.
