Singapore has hit late-stage capitalism.
Actually for quite a while now.
A classic symptom of this era is basically hustlers trying to eventually wring economic value out of a free good.
In other words, free memes that existed as digital ones and noughts are getting commercialised and converted into physical products all in the hopes of turning a quick buck.
This is literally taking the hustle from the streets to the internet and back to the streets again.
On-demand production has facilitated this business model of holding zero inventory -- another symptom of late-stage capitalism, which has been described as "the horrible things capitalism forces people to do to survive".
