Government is the sole cause of inflation. Government interference in any form adds cost, increases and encourages waste, reduces productivity, and endorses corruption. I know a bloke who recently had an oversized garage constructed on his rural property, 20 miles from nowhere. Twelve months of design, permits, licences, approvals, inspections etc. Two days to construct the building. 60% of the cost consumed by various government agencies. And sadly, we allowed the government to manage mismanage our health care and decide if we live or die. There's a reason government don't get involved in the production of beer.

The two best lessons I've learned about living with a Thai woman - don't go home from a boy's night poker game with your shirt inside-out, and whenever she's angry, hide all the knives.

That's why tourists from the Asian sub-continent prefer to walk (three abreast and holding hands) on the road - it's safer.

Donald, forever transactional and doing what he does best.

Bah humbug.

Yes, the whole thing is nothing but a gigantic hoax. In the same way that the western world was convinced Jesus Christ died for "our" sins and rose from the dead some two thousand years ago, they are now convinced that mankind has doomed the earth to a fiery end because of carbon emissions. Both doctrines, or dogma, if you prefer, require one essential ingredient to persist. That ingredient is faith. Faith allows one to believe in anything one chooses to believe in. Faith doesn't require truth or evidence. Faith ignores cognitive dissonance. Climate is now a religion. It has replaced God as Nietzsche foretold. The priests, pastors, vicars and oracles of Christianity have been replaced by climate pundits such as Greta et al. The money that once flowed to the various religious organisations now flows to the WEF, WHO, and any other number of organisations that support and advocate the doctrine. They are all of-course corrupt, as were the Churches. Climate has replaced God in the hearts of the minions. Mankind need something to believe in, something to give them hope for the future. It really doesn't matter how outrageous their beliefs are - JC rising from the dead and offers us an eternal life in heaven, (or an eternity in Hell - go figure), or a gas that is 0.04% of the atmosphere will determine our heaven or hell on earth. You can't argue using truth, logic, and undeniable empirical evidence against a person of faith. Regardless of everything else, they will drink the Kool Aid. And while the "idea" of a God is, morally speaking, a reasonable MO to conduct one's life, fanatical belief in any form of God doesn't usually bode well. I compare the current fanaticism of the climate warriors with that of the Inquisition - faith, fanaticism, narcissism, all rolled into one. It' not until one's "faith" has a severe hole punched into it that questions will be asked. This will happen when climate policies result in blackouts and famine, the inability to travel, or God forbid, a severe shortage of smartphones and a reversion to dial-up due to insufficient electrickery to power the cell sites.

Thais do it by pooling their income, and sharing accommodation and expenses. Either as an extended family, or friends living together.

The deluge of Indian tourists in Pattaya have raised the perceived status of Chinese tourists by several notches.

I may be wrong, but misandry is equally as appalling as racism.

I don't think we Westerners give the Thais sufficient credit for their practical application of expediency.

Weekend at Bernie's is coming to a close, next up - Braveheart and Gladiator.

I give a giftwrapped bottle of SangSom, complete with a red bow. The condo staff call me Kuhn SangSom.

I've seen cars with red and blue marker lights on the front, green and blue marker lights on the rear, trucks with 15,000,000 lumen headlights, cars and scooters with no lights, trucks with an uncountable number of Michelin Men hanging off them, ambulances with flashing lights with the perfect frequency to induce an epileptic fit, and the BIB driving around with their red flashing lights permanently on. Somehow I don't think the odd reindeer antlers and Christmas lights on a few cars will be much of an added distraction.

Call me a rebel, but "use by" dates are a socially engineered concept, and should be ignored.

The problem is that we let the woke post-modernist Marxists steal our language in order to justify their fake reality. Homosexual/Queer became Gay, and then they reinvented Queer again and it came back in vogue. Transvestite/cross dresser became transexual. Pro-abortion became pro-choice. But I never understood why a Lesbian has always been a Lesbian.

Be thankful the neighbour doesn't smoke cigars.

He shot into the sky - and probably missed.

The Trumpster has learned his lesson from his first term, and now knows that revenge is a dish best served cold. His choice of appointees is self-evident that he will wreak mayhem against the corrupt fascist left. I can't wait to see what the plea deals are like. Trump will probably have them supply their own tomato ketchup and vaseline.

It has been apparent for a generation that those with no real purpose or meaning in life are strong advocates of both wokery and climate change theory. Empty shells of people who are unable to think independently, hate themselves, hate their country, and hate humanity.

I had a strange dream a while ago. I woke up believing that this big bright yellow thing shining in the sky might have a lot to do with our weather and climate. But apparently I was wrong. It turns out that a natural gas that makes plants grow and constitutes about 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere is the real climate controller. If you want to see a dazed look on the face of a climate activist's face and melt their tiny brains, tell them about solar maximum and minimum, solar cycle sun spot variations, solar winds, Milankovitch's orbital wobble and orbital eccentricity, the Maunder minimum, the medieval warm period, and the truth behind the myth that 97% of scientists agree.

Nobody in the entire English-speaking world uses the word "nascent", or knows what it means.

Airstrip One is most definitely a police state. Detaining people merely for what they think or utter is the epitome of a police state. QED.

The Donald is very transactional. He understands the philosophy of the stick and carrot, and is not afraid to use the stick.

This is how Leftism works. My Mum is Welsh, My Dad is Hungarian. I identify as well hung.

Total agreeance from me. It would be understandable if an intelligent argument was opined. But it's just emotive rants. The Left need the Right, and vice-versa. Without a counterbalance, either side can and do resort to tyranny - but this is counterintuitive to dyed in the wool over emotional Leftists.
