But it is the Government (in fact most governments) that want to create a cashless society, as (a) it gives far more control over it's citizens, and (b) it can see where all the money goes, and tax it, confiscate it, or take away your right to spend it how you please.
Imagine how he might feel in a few years time when it's worth increases by many multiples of what he paid for it. It's value will probably outstrip inflation.
As much as I don't think she should be Prime Minister, you cannot know how she feels.
The death of those young children in the manner in which they died is a very sad, and obviously upsetting occurrence for anyone that reads about it. She won't be the only one shedding tears.
What a horrible accident. Being young children under the care of others only makes it worse.
Normally these type of buses have little hammer like window breakers situated around the bus to aid escape.
I wonder if this one had them, and if it did, whether the teachers knew what they were for and how to use them, because the youngsters were probably too young to know. Even then, it seems a long drop from those windows to the road.

Too many people fell for the "electric cars are greener" mumbo jumbo.
They are not. They have just moved the polluting point from the engine to the battery.
As a result of the rapid growth of electric cars, there is now a time bomb on the horizon of what to do with old battery packs.

Others are reused or repurposed. But what happens to the ones that are broken down?
I saw a video that stated that currently over 95% of old batteries from electric vehicles end up in landfill.

I have bought sims on Lazada from MELONTHAI without problem.

Honda used to do a 7-seater BR-V and CR-V, but price range might prove difficult.
Nissan or Mitsubishi do the Xpander. Again, price range will limit your choice.
Not sure how it works so will ask:

Because if so, they might have to sell their old stock first before they drop the price.
