yes please start on Tesla and musk, then look at the insider trading that happen in the whitehouse yesterday.

Then you do not understand the Chinese economy. Yes China debt is very high but the debt is differant fron the USA. China debt is mostly domestic, banks, local goverments property market and based on the Yuan(china mostly borrows in Yuan) and can be controlled by the goverment decisions are fast unlike usa who have trouble passing budgets. USA debt is dollar based and part of the global system, if yields spike, debt service costs go up, treasury demand drops the dollar slides. Need to look at what the debt is funding as well for both countries. USA debt is war, tax cuts for the rich, stock buybacks and social debt. China is infrastructure, industrial, R&D and property market

Mobland, excellent TV series

Black Bag, excellent spy movie, Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender star in Steven Soderbergh's film

watched the video, he was saying if, if, if, if. He is guessing what may happen and what trump may do. trump changes daily and it is hard to predict what he will do, apart from if you say no to him, disagree with him then he will react against you as he has done with China today with adding another 50% on. China will not back down and with comments from vance "We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture," will not help. China and the USA need each other and there will be alot of pain for both before things settle down.

I went with Viber, as I was calling a bank in the UK I need something to replace Skype. Viber was excellent, good connection from my mobile. I took the Euro 1.97 package for 100minutes, only thing is the 1.97 is a monthly charge which is cheap but I only call landlines (banks, Goverment Tax office etc) around 3 or 4 times a year. You can pause the subscription plan for 3 months and can do that 3 times in a year. I will check out MyTel and also the 003 Asis number but I think it may be a higher price compared to the other apps. Thank you to everyone for their input on the subject, very helpful

Best to place these people who break the law in jail for a while, get the word out that if you make trouble/break the law then to jail you go for a few months. As to reducing the number of tourists to Thailand that will not happen as the country needs every $ they can get for the economy

What part of Thailand are you in? Here in the South there is a local goverment office that teach about Bees to locals. They will come out and remove bees so I suggest if you have a Thai partner they ask at the local goverment office for contact details.

With SKYPE being closed down, what apps do you recommend for calling overseas from Thailand. I need to call banks, Goverment etc

she is alive un like the australian kid who died today in samui on a motorbike

China already owns 759 billion dollars of USA treasury bonds, better hope they dont cash it in

good idea, totally agree, the only downside is the usa car makers are to late, Japan and China have the car market sowen up

People will blame the USA and trump because he has created the situation with the tarifs. As for negative impact on American expats, to late america has lost many friends they had around the world in a matter of two months after rubbishing them and after talking about invading and guess what, who created the resentment towards america? trump, vance, greene and the rest of the toxic bunch that follow trump. As for individual americans, there are some great people out there, but they have all been tarred with the same brush.

can we see those "Facts"

you may want to look at history and see how much was given to the USA, unless you follow the narrative of the ones in power now. No point in arguing as it is time to drop the USA as they have now lost all credibility.

A new renaissance where every other country starts to work together, America cannot be trusted as a friend, time to ditch the USA and create new stronger markets in Europe, Asia, Africa, Canada and south America.

iphone made in China, Nike made in Vietnam, Tesla made in China, burgers can be found everywhere so do not need shake shak, Mcdonald, burger King. (There are better burgers out there made by independant business). As for US leading the desire in the world for their products, what about the many European designers, Prada, Chanel, YSL, Also americans love Japanese cars, among the top sellers in the USA.

true, agree with the layout and planning plus town and city layouts to contend with. What I was refering to are the pot holes, in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire is where my experince is based.

getting upset are you? Being challenged on your Thai hate posts? Your comments are general ill informed. H&S is lacking in some places, but you are painting the whole industry as "in the dark ages" and "corrupt". Are you based in Thailand and if you are then please bring your "proof" to the media and expose all the "Facts" you seem to have.

total rubbish, you really do not know what you are talking about.

yet their roads are so much better than in the UK

Why do they tell everyone about their negotiation plans, do they not know the art of negotiation?

Yet Yahoo is american owned and still in business. Posting a link to yahoo makes you think the person is not american? How crazy is that logic. Mind you these days many people would be embarssed to say they are american.

And now the car industry wants the goverment to help with making things easier for people to buy a car, so more debt for the people?
