For all you people who think that capitalism is an unfair economic system that disenfranchises the vast majority of the world's population to the benefit of an elite few... you are right. But there is a counter point to all that negative shit: The Siam Paragon mall in Bangkok. Need to buy a set of fitted Hermes luggage for your new Lamborghini? Just drive through the mall from the dealership to the boutique, you could even stop and pick up a Cartier collar for your wife's dog while you are on the way. There is also a massive grocery store that makes Whole Foods look like No Frills, South East Asia's biggest aquarium, and a movie theater with VIP screening rooms (see pic). If happiness could be purchased it would have a boutique at the Paragon, and like everything else that is sold there, the vast majority of the world would not be able to afford it.
