Bill to ban mRNA vaccines passes out of House committee
Oh, the joy of blissful ignorance. Thankfully, the earth is flat, and the earth is still the centre of the solar system, the galaxy and the universe. Hopefully, with new gene editing technology, the whole planet will soon believe the above facts.

Thailand Faces Severe Air Pollution Crisis as PM2.5 Levels Soar
When will this critical health problem be seriously addressed? Maybe only after the powerful Thai business families realise that the pollution that their industries are producing is killing more and more of their potential customers and workers (but they can always import more workers from overseas), and thus impacting their obscene profits. In any case, these powerful families have already sent their children and grand children overseas for secondary and tertiary education, and in the process they have foreign citizenship, and sizeable assets in those countries. The wealthy can always escape (see the Taksin example); the masses cannot.

Thailand Moves Toward Cheaper, Smarter Transit System
This has been talked about for many years, if not decades ... over which time next to nothing has been implemented. Maybe by 2600 (Buddhist Era) something may be finally implemented, just before large parts of Bangkok are permanently under sea water.

Why not ban all new and experimental medical treatments? And ban AI while you are at it? Seems some people do not like scientific advances, and wish to live in the Stone Age. Many medical technologies may have adverse side-effects, even "simple" surgeries. It is called iatrogenesis - read Ivan Illich's 1974 book "Medical Nemesis".

Trump might get rid of income taxes?
Thailand would like that as it could get more tax out of expats, as no income tax credits would exist in the USA.

Globalisation. The hangover.
Globalisation = Neoliberal ideology propagated by the rich with the aim of making them super rich and gaining control of the world's resources. In part achieved by billionaires "buying" influential politicians and political parties. Much the same as Emperor Xi's Belt and Road Initiatives.

"Nomad Capitalist" suggests Americans abroad may be headed towards pariah status
It is more likely that American-owned business in many countries are going to suffer financially. It is also possible that more US residents will be relocating overseas - a movement which certainly started after the November elections with some high profile Americans relocating to safer countries. On the other hand, those overseas disciples of Trump and MAGA may be less inclined to wear their political caps and t-shirts in public. Just see what is happening in Pai now, and during the early 2020 international reaction to overseas Chinese tourists "Chinese tourists not wanted" signs posted on businesses in many countries.

US Will from Bangkok – How?
I revised my Australian and Thai wills here (in Thailand) a few years ago. For my Australian will, I asked two Australian friends in Thailand to be witnesses (for convenience). I kept a copy for myself, and posted the original back to my Australian lawyer and executor - who thanked me, and replied "all in order".
