Absolutely correct. There is no visible product being sold and no shelves to stock. Quite similar to many cannabis shops where the sold product is burnt and records of amounts sold can be falsified.

Tariffs may be emptying your supermarket shelves, but the president is still for sale!

The Art of Winning too Much to Be Doing Any Deals
animalmagic replied to Lewie London's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Trade deals may be made by countries, however it is their populations who decide what to buy in the shops. It seems a large number of countries have populations that now do not want to buy anything from America. A trade deal may address perceived imbalances and deal with 'unfair countries taking advantage of America', but it will not be able to address changes to spending patterns of individuals in the short and medium term. Trust and respect once thrown away are difficult to regain. Foreign countries are now looking at trade deals with anybody BUT America. China will now buy 2.5 billion dollars worth of beef from Australia and NOT America. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=fecdf3bbd64fb7f171c39e914252f62ef1b5eb65c8c5d6e039571f752be53996JmltdHM9MTc0Njc0ODgwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=16c6ff6c-2d8b-6342-091e-ec312c4c6296&psq=china+australia+beef+deal&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYWJjLm5ldC5hdS9uZXdzLzIwMjUtMDQtMTIvdXMtdGFyaWZmcy13YXItd2l0aC1jaGluYS1hdXN0cmFsaWFuLWJlZWYtZXhwb3J0cy11cC8xMDUxNjY2MzI&ntb=1 -
Economy Thai PM Confident in US Tariff Talks Ahead of Trump's Deadline
animalmagic replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It identifies which supermarket items are from america; should the more discerning shopper wish to avoid buying american produce. The bar code system and product labels provide the facts, and I expect them to be more truthful than most politicians. -

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/strengthening-and-unleashing-americas-law-enforcement-to-pursue-criminals-and-protect-innocent-citizens/ Does that include the US military being deployed for law enforcement? -

Evidence of her sense of humour is that 25 years ago, my wife said, I do. -

He's not cured it yet, but he has a plan (some would say it's brilliant), to use bleach and bright lights! -
That's not all. My wife and I do not have kids, so we have helped our niece with education wherever possible. We paid for her boarding school, not the best possible as we couldn't afford that, which was not too far from where she lived. Our niece researched much better schools nearby and discovered a very famous one much closer to home. this school offered free tuition to students who passed the entrance exam and were in the Top 10. Our niece studied hard and applied, eventually achieving the fourth highest marks and being offered the free scholarship. She told us afterwards that we no longer had to help with tuition fees.

On my very first to trip to Phuket some 25+ years ago I rented a trail bike. Stupidly I presumed it had a full tank and set off exploring the paradise that Phuket used to be. Needless to say, I ran out of petrol some time later; on the main road heading west back to Patong. Standing stupidly at the side of the road in a time before mobile phones I contemplated the looooong walk to anywhere. A Thai man of indeterminate age on a motorcycle and sidecage rolled up with his son. The old chap stopped to chat with me, he didn't speak English and I didn't speak Thai but we managed to agree that the Thai Miss Universe was stunning. 20 minutes later his son returned with a glass bottle of what I first assumed to be the start of a drinking session. Fortunately, it was poured into the fuel tank and I returned to Patong a little wiser and a lot happier.

Unsure if we are allowed to promote any hotel on here. If you send me a private message I would be glad to tell you. -
Bangkok Declared Disaster Zone Following Powerful Myanmar Earthquake
animalmagic replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I cannot speak for any others, but I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff in mine. The kindness and generosity of the restaurants next door in opening their doors to provide some aircon and seats, whilst also bringing out bottles of water that were freely distributed, was very reassuring. Sadly, disasters are very good in bringing out the best and worst in mankind. I was fortunate to experience the better part but do know of other incidents around town that did not reflect well on some people.
