Indian Nationals Arrested in Phayao for Illegal Money Lending
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Rai News
Since they will be going to prison and subsequently sent back to India I suggest that the loaned money is now a gift. -
German woman bitten by suspected shark at Phang Nga beach
soalbundy replied to snoop1130's topic in Southern Thailand News
Only Germans, it seems the sharks have a taste for German blood considering the news lately. It must be a horrifying experience though, unexpectedly being bitten by something large under water. -
Policies have to reflect economic realities, party leaders can promise a lot before they are in power (see Starmer). Trump isn't even in power yet but already the social security and medicare cuts are looming and his wished for trade wars are harbingers of higher inflation and blockchain disruptions. He is threatening Brics with 100% tariffs if they ditch the dollar, it hasn't occurred to him that times are changing, America is no longer all powerful and the dollar isn't as strong and stable as it once was, America's bullying has brought new boys to the block who are forming alliances and they will succeed, America's short lived empire is teetering on the edge of collapse, it will seek isolation at first but this will cut it off from competition in which innovation thrives and it will be left behind. Next year 40% of America's debt matures, it will be interesting to see if the world is willing to finance 15 trillion dollars further and to what conditions. The bully is cornered and instead of confrontation it will now have to negotiate and its representative, Trump, isn't liked or respected.

I too couldn't believe Trump won, not because his opponent was good, she wasn't but because Trump is a degenerate, a poor businessman, a liar, not very eloquent and not very intelligent. I think Kamala was chose for reasons of race and gender. Nobody is going to clear up anybody's mess because governments world wide don't act, they react, they don't write the story they read it. Look at the pending world recession, it is causal stemming from multiple sources, governments and central banks will try to mitigate its effects (and usually make things worse) but the truth is nobody is in control of anything, it's the causal flow of life, the water is running downstream until it meets a valley. During Trump's term there will be a bad recession and large unemployment and he will be blamed which is unfair since this would come about no matter who was President. All one can say is, 'this too will pass' but it wont pass because of any one person, it will pass due to causal events over which we have no control.

Man Arrested for Stealing Tourist's Gold Necklace Worth 445,000 Baht

Not anymore.....he's learnt his lesson. -
Yes, Brexit was a huge mistake, we are Europeans not Americans, there is no 'special relationship' and it's humiliating to hang on to the American coat tails like some servile lackey, our biggest market lays on our doorstep with people who think like us, people with some nobility, class and education (some of which still exists in the UK). French style and diplomacy, Italien design, British scientists and finance experts, German engineering, chemistry and physicists, we ought to be unbeatable with the right politicians but the likes of Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Schmidt, Matteo Renzi, Emmanuel Macron are gone.
