Such a meltdown will be nothing as compared to what the meltdown will be in USA, especially when Trump loses. But mathematically speaking, Trump can not score a win in 2024.

Thank you for your excellent post. May a hundred million American voters read and understand your reasoning (I know, some of them can't read).

Note tp Alena: I'm not a gynecologist but I'd be happy to take a look (*_*).

The perp certainly won't have to worry about making baht for the next 20 to 40 years. As a child molester in jail though, he'll have lots else to worry about.

To take the chance of selling this sh*t in an Asean country, he must be thoroughly addicted to it himself.

"Woke or wokism" can be on any page, IMO, best if on no page at all.. The word is now meaningless as it has being overused. It's generally used now by people who aren't able to express their thoughts using a greater vocabulary, or they think they're being trendy.

They didn't like being behind the Brits for outlandish episodes.

Despite all the sh#t they're going to end up in, had these two crazy KIWIs pulled this stunt in USA, they'd probably be going home in cargo, and in coffins.

An elected government ? ? ?

They DID ONCE TALK ABOUT banning Thais, as I recall (maybe I recall wrong). If they give Thais a free hand (pun intended), the loan sharks, which I read recently they are trying to reign in, will have a field day. Pawn shops will be overfilled, evictions will sky rocket, starvation will increase, crime will increase, the temples will need new rules to turn down loans, prostitution will increase (if that's possible). The downside of letting Thais play (and lose) in casinos is endless. Everybody knows already how Thais think they will get rich by playing the lotto and other gambling games.

I recall once reading in a previous iteration about casinos in Thailand that locals would be barred from play/entry. I should hope so. At the one near me in Toronto, Canada, there have been a number of suicides by "addicted" players. One sad story worthy of mention is, a frequent player took her savings for her daughter's wedding to the casino on her final occasion thinking she could increase the $10,000 wedding fund. Subsequent to losing it all, she hung herself in the casino washroom. Others have offed themselves in the parking lot after a bad loss. I would hate to think of poor Thais losing the rent, mortgage or grocery money at the local casino.

I totally agree with you Bangkok Barry. (Mother taught me, if you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all).

I wouldn't believe anything that I read on LinkedIn anymore than I'd believe a sexy little Thai girl that I met in Pattaya who whispered in my ear, "I LOVE YOU LONG TIME". They're both out strictly for themselves.

Only a "tool" would financially back a girl, who he'd never met, in the auto parts business.

Ahh, you've noticed that too. I thought it was just "angry old man's disease".

I totally agree, from first hand experience. On my many trips to Thailand, coming from a country where we drive on the right, I had great difficulty adjusting. Fortunately, on several occasions, I encountered polite Thai drivers when I did something stupid while on foot.

This sounds too much like "Thai American style".

You may be right. Once here in Canada, I withdrew $500 at one of the big banks, all in twenties. I was at a casino and the machines wouldn't accept the notes. An attendant took me to the cash counter. They took me to a back room and treated me like a criminal. Some of the twenties from the bank were counterfeit, not all of them.

And follow the money.

You say, " it surely should have taken place". Why "should" it have taken place? Or, perhaps you meant "shouldn't" have. Serious question.

Maybe they should try Russia as their new hideout. Putin might even put out the "red" carpet for them.

This story, to me, is incomprehensible. Sell the farm. Leave Canada. Move to Russia. Expect a better life for a family of 10. Next, Putin will possibly enlist him. Perhaps Arend Feenstra had never watched any news in Canada and didn't know that there was a war going on.

How em BARE ASS ing.

That's included in my concept of "contact" sports. I've had a few and there's always been contact.

I bought a pair of Vice Grip brand grips recently, paid 3 times the price of the Chinese offering and very happy that I did. What I bought grips firm, exactly what I needed. The Chinese grips offer a sloppy fit, even when new, plus, what I bought will last 20 times longer. I like tools, not toys.
