Trump thinks USA citizens will work in these new factories, if and when they are built.. A recent survey showed only 2% of the population wanted to work in a factory. Those new factories will need to be run by robots or immigrants; take your choice....

Nobody seems to be aware that an alternative exists - The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program (RorDor), which offers exemptions from full military service. You do this via completing the three-year ROTC program, typically during high school, which provides an exemption from mandatory conscription. My nephew did it.

Very little to do carbon zero/green policies. The wholesale price of electricity depends mainly on the most expensive resource used - which is usually gas. https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/electricity-pricing

Nothing new about this, has been going on for years. Seizing all the laundered money is a nice little earner for the UK government. Cannabis and Vietnamese nail bars are the same - a money laundering operation.

Free speech in USA? Not if you support Palestinians (I do not mean Hamas). Israel of course, is always right and Palestinians are Evil. The truth is somewhat different. Fake news, mass Immigration and wokeness gone mad has created a lot of problems in the UK, but still a hell of a lot safer than USA.

Neither EU or UK use USA wheat any more, i think. THE UK's top 9 sources of imported wheat do not include the USA. I guess the only countries which need it are those suffering severe drought and famine. And those rely on USAID programs ... oh crap, there gonna starve.

OL, you got me, i should have said what the AI said! Actually only 15 years, thats when i came to live in Udon. But if you have been trying to catch me out and it took 15 years, I think that is a damn good record!

Amazing. Some people are so far down the rabbit hole, No point in trying to explain MMCC to you. We al know what happened to dinosaurs, Or maybe you think it was the great flood....

Exactly my thoughts.

Hmm manners. you scorned my claim, and i politely pointed out you were wrong, You didn't dispute the New Zealand data i provided. Thus, you were not fully informed. Hence need to educate yourself more on this subject.

You need to consider what happens if you cannot find a legal job. You say you are on a marriage visa. Do you have 400,000 baht in a Thai bank? Do you have an passive income stream in your home country providing 40,000 baht every month? You need one or the other to get a visa extension of stay, How much cash do you have? Enough to provide 400,000 baht a year for the rest of your life? What about a pension? will your home country provide one in 30 years time? You have to consider the future. My wife has a shop like you suggested your wife will do. I can tell you no way will it provide an income sufficient to support a family of 4, except at poverty level. Another factor, Once you are in Thailand, your wife can divorce you, and the kids will not be allowed to leave the country unless your wife agrees. You are gambling with your future.

In Udon Thani never felt it, Even 2 dogs slept through it.

Apparently constructional steel was taken away for testing from the wreckage, suspected to be inferior? New building regulations came into force in about 2009 which meant that new buildings need to meet earthquake standards - older buildings do not. The fact it was the only high-rise building to collapse does suggest failure to meet construction standards, The blame game now starts.

You mean a new dark age - at least for the rest of us. And if Trump doesn't pull it off?

The level of Religious intolerance on this forum is unbelievable. Better not post while you are in the UK. 😱
