    Why do you claim that the AMLO and the TCSD had no evidence when the OP clearly suggests that there is?

    They don't say what the evidence is. Just some reference linking his and his wife's accounts. They've been repeating that for months, exactly same phraseology, but nothing with which to back it up. They should put up or shut up, just like everybody on this forum. Here, it's all circumstantial. TIT so he must be guilty. I ask you!

    sycophant

    worse still... you think you do

    Don't call me a sycophant you run with the lynch mob member. You don't have any evidence, do you? It's just bs to say TIT what do you expect? If it was Australia or wherever, would you say "it's Oz, what do you expect?". Tell me what you know. Or better still, tell the RTP what you know and see how it goes down.

    But of course they need more, while the regular worker have to fight years to get 400 baht per day.

    It's a total disgrace. They got an enormous pay rise, they get endless benefits, preferential rates, pensions etc etc. And all they do is .... NOTHING! I think a 400,000 plus army of paper shuffling, ethically challenged, uniformed for no reason, government lackeys. Freeze their pay. Scrap their benefits. Take away their ridiculous uniforms.

    In addion to the Senate, EC needs to be 100% elected by the electorate, ie., through their elected ministers in the House. And the House needs subpoena power to not only hold the EC  accountable but all the quasi-state organization such as the Anti-Corrption Commission.

    Agree. Thailand is at the mercy of these over endowed institutions, the EC, the CC, and all the silly committees they set up at every opportunity. Wage committee, weed committee, casino committee, land bridge, economic corridors, floods, rice, bananas, peanuts... Ha!

    As I said it happens in EVERY country in the world its not just capitalist doing it. Im not condoning it, just stating a fact. 

    Sure, I understand. But there again, I don't suppose Bangladesh imports an exploitable impoverished desperate army of cheap labour, unless you count the Rohingya. The rich countries do it in the main. I guess communist china doesn't as they have a ready made source of cheap labour - the much less well off Chinese, probably from ethnic minorities, not Han. And Russia definitely imports cheap labour from all those annexed central Asian satellite soviet countries. And India has a conveniently nuanced caste system where the West has class. So yes, I guess you have a point. But to run an economy or a business successfully, your income must exceed your expenditure. That's called profit. And that to me is a sine qua non of capitalism. And probably of any other business model. To each according to his needs, from each according to his ability. Apparently there's a huge disinformation campaign backed by the Kremlin branding Kamala a communist, especially targeting Latino voters from heavy socialist fxxx ups like Venezuela and Bolivia. This has been bought by the MAGA morons who wouldn't know a Marxist dialectic if it grabbed them by the testicles and and swung them around the room. But they love expanding and promoting this utter BS. Like Vance said, lying's completely acceptable in certain circumstances. Put that on his gravestone.

    Not to stray from the subject, your post reminded me of something from more than 20 years ago about some sort of "platform" built in the sea in that area and was supposed to become an independent country.  What ever became of that?  Can't recall the name.

     

    Maybe this?

    Have to say it doesn't look too inviting. Not sure I'd make the trip for that!
