This displays Price's Square Root Law in action. The square root of the population will hold 50% of the wealth. And if you drilled down to that population, the square root of that number will hold 50% of the combined wealth. And if you drilled down again....get the picture? This can never be changed, barring major social intervention a la Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Starmer etc. Ironically, the wealthier you make the poor, the wealthy become exponentially wealthier.

It's delusional to assume that Biden was running America. 2020-2024 was Barry Hussein Obama's third term. A term in which he arguably did more damage than in his first two terms.

"Their task is to uncover whether the collapse was due to shoddy construction, inferior materials, or renovations." This is the type of multi-choice question I like - every answer is correct.

Obviously a meticulously planned crime (not). They will be guests of the RTP hotel on Soi 9, eftsoons and right speedily.

Enoch Powel saw all this coming. Mind you, it wasn't rocket science. Previous civil unrest hasn't convinced the globalist uni-government to change course, other than espouse a few meaningless words. When the Brits are ultimately told to "eat cake", the young frustrated generation may go full-on French Revolution. I'd give it 3-7 years. Long enough for the discontent to become solidified and all hope is gone. Those pesky young white males with no job, no money, no house, no wife, no kids, and no future, may be a bit of a problem for the ageing hippy and kids-of-hippies run government. "Rule Brittania" may well be their battle-cry.

Jake Tapper must suddenly think he's a journalist or something. Knowingly runs cover for a marionette for four years, and then claims to have an epiphany.

I'm surprised they haven't gone after the illegal Chinese immigrants that entered under the former administration. Literally tens of thousands, possibly much more. If I were planning a future attack on a country, and the government allowed me to export an insurgent army into that country - well...

Meanwhile, there may be a suitably qualified female military aviator being denied the rank and position occupied by this transgender person. Or.....are the military subscribing to meritocracy, and this allows them to have the better (male) pilot in the air while also ticking the two DEI boxes of women and transgenderism. Genius!

Lefties don't understand that THEY were the revolutionaries. The present-day Right are the counter-revolutionaries, trying to reinstate traditional normality and morality in a society that has been overwhelmed by debased Marxist collectivist ideology for 60 years. Most Leftist's strongest personal trait is cognitive dissonance. Only by doing comprehensive and complicated mental gymnastics could one conclude that the restoration of traditional societal values practiced for millenia is a bad idea.

They just gazetted a law change on 9 May. Many "Buddha" days have been exempted from the previous alcohol sales ban in airports and "tourist zones". In typical Thai fashion, the translation of the order is suitably confusing. But the local Pattaya interpretation is that bars and clubs are open as usual on Sunday, but sales at 7/11 may/will be restricted. This is Thailand - roll with the punches.

If only Ricky Gervais was a Murcan.

One could be excused for thinking the entire political class are fifth columnist traitors.

Yeah, sorry....two coppers on Somchai's sister's borrowed pink Scoopy doesn't equate with anything close to a high-speed chase.

The really amazing thing is that this carpark has been operational since about 2013/14 and it still works!

It's a bummer when reality gets in the way of your cultist religious ideology.

It ain't worth 350 kangaroo bucks and 3,500 baht to have your name published in a dodgy Pattaya newspaper over an incident involving a thieving coconut bar working girl. I'd pay 5 times that to keep my name out of the paper. He must have sharp eyes to allegedly recognise the girl wearing different clothes. Must have been something distinctive about her - assuming of course it was a she. This sort of stunt is usually associated with chicks that have dicks.

And the next All Blacks fullback will be a transexual paraplegic with Parkinson's.

This definition of post-modernism fully explains the new (un)reality. Many postmodernists hold one or more of the following views: (1) there is no objective reality; (2) there is no scientific or historical truth (objective truth); (3) science and technology (and even reason and logic) are not vehicles of human progress but suspect instruments of established power; (4) reason and logic are not universally valid; (5) there is no such thing as human nature (human behavior and psychology are socially determined or constructed); (6) language does not refer to a reality outside itself; (7) there is no certain knowledge; and (8) no general theory of the natural or social world can be valid or true (all are illegitimate “metanarratives”).

The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha has become a rather boring B-grade TV reality show.

Somehow I doubt that a federal judge can dictate to the Executive branch as to whom can be issued with security clearances, or with whom they can or cannot transact normal business.

Maybe the left's next step is to go full-on "Harrison Bergeron" and handicap everybody in every pursuit to ensure total equity of outcome. Kurt Vonnegut's short story is well worth a read if you want to understand the lunacy. From the book: "THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General."

Obviously the engineer that built the steps wasn't top of his class in geometry.

In other news, there's a reason why there are so many jokes about lawyers going to Hell.

Just had an uh-huh! moment. Maybe explains why tourists from the Indian sub-continent walk on the road.

Thailand should play it safe and import all their steel requirements from Pakistan.
