  1. What I think you don't want to know and when it's down would you want me to ring you silly mind!🤣
  2. As they say it isn't the weapon but the driver!🤣
  3. Opinion? What evidence you have that it is a disguise! Would it not work both ways if numbers go up or down it can't be because ones opinions might sway the numbers that come out.🤔
  4. Not taking sides I simply Google got 4.20
  5. I too struggle but with your comprehension for someone who writes well. you pick and choose what you want to respond to although i had to clarify some of your other points. What we do agree it is " business as usual " but another clarification your agent isn't the only agent in town. Whenever I have conversation with nice people like you thereafter we don't agree exactly they bring up Grammar that is when I know I've made my point in spite. Bye thanks!
  6. Using agents is as common as 7/11 here. Expats didn't create them if the are illegal which in ways are why weren't they shut down prior to this? Like everything government talk but can't run anything especially here. This situation was to audit BB practice as to the raid in Pattaya, opening accounts for Chinese tourist and when it comes to other tourist I know a few that have accounts with other banks. Reality as I noted this can't be exclusive in just Pattaya and agents not being able to do extension at this time with BB, do it at other banks think hard what you are saying! If it is so illegal then why is it ok for agent to use another bank. Illegal is illegal!
  7. Then consider yourself lucky because many don't as ops is writing he can't even get them to respond to cleaning common areas.
  8. I suspect your are being lied to! I find it tough the way things operate here they are fixing for free or repairs are condo related if so, you would be calling yourself! Logic you must have the only unit is was built right! 🤣 in fact with so many workers all wanting to get a piece of it are doing repairs for the unit owners and charging them. To test make a call yourself for repairs! Why I don't buy into condos especially here if they don't provide a monthly expense sheet when I'm interested in buying. You might look also at the so call 51% Thai owners who refuse to pay month and nothing is done! From my experience nothing is done!
  9. 🤣 It is 86 now first raid it was 79🤣
  10. I'm trying to figure out the 50,000 baht damage each individual 🤑
  11. My perspective is the same mines don't support yours tariff the problem is much bigger than we care to understand. Force, stolen, profit, it is mixed into one big terrible situation in the end when It comes to tariff it is long over due world wide this is the same with the US, being a ATM for the world. Our perspective will just have to be agree to disagree. Thanks for sharing.
  12. It is IP? It really is about tariff? Or something bigger here? It is pretty widely known isn't it? If you want to operate in China manufacture you must hand over you secret! In fact there is an interview I saw with Xi who said if there is something that benefits the world it should be shared. Now I'm all for making things better for example cars decades ago US dominated the car industry but they made <deleted>ty car, Japan came along made a better product I have no complaints about that.l but that isn't the case! Of course it's isn't completely China fault companies do have a choice. Let take Tesla I had an cousin prior to retirement started with Tesla, as an engineer, in conversation with him years back noted this to me. Yes they gave up like do many companies their IP, to operate. Today for example I look at BYD, their higher end models look exactly like Tesla models, I believe it is GWM, model Tank is a copy of the Ford Bronco? I'm saying stolen because these companies gave it up feeling profit was more important than being blackmailed. I also read KFC, is the largest American company operating in China, their 11-12 secret spices is no more I see chicken stands even in Thailand like 5 star crispy chicken is very close to KFC, even local market come close. This is my opinion I have no problems with tariff between the line, they have indicated temporary pain discomfort Im willing to deal and support all country have to do is come to the table and meet in between I'm not a supporter of Trump boosting nor do I think his intend for companies to all move home to produce tariff is being used to meet a reasonable balance that is fair as noted and Thailand charging US imports 40% while theirs to US is near free.
  13. You are missing the point, I again stated I DO NOT expect as you noted T-shirts for companies to return build factories from companies like Walmart for example. If small business now many want to produce TShirts made in USA that is on consumer to make that choice. I'm referring to larger items not clothes I personally don't Trump or his administration expect that to happen. I'm talking about national security items and even then I'm not sure of the solution. Tax dollars are being given to many Universities, lets take Harvard who except hundreds of mainland Chinese, the research department for example developed a cancer drug approved by FDA, company that owns the pattern now has a factory in China, as we know to operate one must hand over the IP, if the research hasn't already been stolen by a Chinese spy stolen handed over. The medicine then is copied rebranded so throughout the world but because the company has an patent for the drugs in the U.S. it is made in China labeled original tax payers pay heavy for the drug we develop. Something is wrong the big picture is bigger than T-shirt and a T.V.
