  1. It is only egregious to Trump's Billionaire donors who own the billion dollar social media platforms who collect revenues from its subscribers but pay little or no income taxes to the nations those subscribers are resident. It is possible that Trump pays more income tax to China.
  2. "Canada rescinds Digital Services Tax after Trump cuts off U.S. trade talks", Jun 29 2025 https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/30/canada-rescinds-digital-services-tax-after-trump-cuts-off-us-trade-talks.html I wouldn't call that Canada has "given in" but to allow TACO to give Canada a great trade deal. If Trump doesn't likely because he'll demand to high a price that threatens Canada's sovereignty, the tax can easily be reactivated.
  3. 56% of respondents disapprove of the U.S. strike on Iran on Saturday, June 21. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/24/poll-trump-us-iran-strike/84330463007/
  4. Cambodia can and will import necessary fuel and petroleum from Vietnam.
  5. I would think that Japanese living on an island would have good swimming capability to at least reach the beach shore. "most Japanese can swim well with crawl and breast stroke, but are not good at staying afloat, backstroke, diving, and underwater swimming," The History and Problem of Swimming Education in Japan, International Aquatic History Symposium and Film Festival 2012. An autopsy and/or consultation with family might indicate an issue with his "staying afloat', etc. His medical history and swimming proficiency might further cause for drowning. His girlfriend didn't seem to be able to add any information regarding his "went under."
  6. The Constitution requires for the democractic sovereignty of the nation through elections. If enough anti-Shinawatra coalition parties in Parliament can force and win a no-confidence vote against the PM, new elections by the electorate (registered public voters) is triggered. There is no necessity nor Constitutional authority from the military "to defend the sovereignty of the nation” through regime change. Although in reality the military has strong "influential" political projection on election of a new PM, particularly with might be military influence over the Senate. There is no reason for the sovereignty of the nation that the PM should resign.
  7. Maybe not based solely on skin color, not on citizenship.
  8. Same for GrabBike drivers that I've used.
  9. looks like Starbuck's Stanley Cup
  10. It has been third party private whistleblowers that have reported these food abuses. I don't recall in the last 12 years that a government agency took the lead to independently discover these abuses and investigate the people responsible without whistleblowers. What "scrutiny" will the current government propose in taking the lead to find such abuses that will be any different.
  11. In 2018 Thailand reformed its laws to legalise medicinal cannabis in the country. In 2022, the government went a step further, decriminalising the possession and use of cannabis if it contained less than 0.2% of THC per dry weight. The law thus narrowed what was defined as medicinal and not medicinal.
  12. I would think it would be a nation's government that handles issues of border control (ie., sovereignty) versus the military. As such the government would direct its military as required to execute the government's border policies. But it seems in Thailand there is a fine line between "government" and "military" wherein the latter takes the lead.
  13. What is the source/link for this picture to verify its authenticity vs photo shop?
  14. 25-year-old - can he ever be rehabilitated when he fundamentally is morally corrupt?
  15. I had Skype until its credit balance went to zero. Now use Rakuten Viber Out call call and video. It can be put on PC but requires a mobile phone with the app. The mobile phone directory is linked to the PC app and new call numbers are added in the mobile phone. I can call toll free numbers in US and call/receive numbers from a dozen other countries.
  16. No travel to Mexico? There is Las Bloodys, one of 17 Mexican feminist organizations that are part of a cross-border network assisting women in the United States who need an abortion. https://www.wired.com/story/american-women-abortions-mexico/
  17. Did you miss "if offered on this same basis" ?
  18. It is "a major Hollywood film." No tariff played in the US. Tariff applies on foreign films exported to the US. Albeit, how is value determined for tariff as "most movies today are played electronically. While film cameras are still used by some filmmakers, most films are now captured and distributed digitally, with theaters using digital projectors. Even when films are initially shot on film, they are often transferred to a digital format for editing and distribution," and get stored in drives. So what is a film drive worth before movie is payed in the US?
  19. Whatever the outcome of a no-confidence vote to determine whether Shinawatra remains PM or replaced in a national election, this process by an elected part of Parliament is democratic versus her ouster by an unelected Constitutional Court. I hope Shinawatra participates in this process.
  20. For the Peoples Party to win Parliament majority and then the government.
  21. Increase room occupancy? Create hotel associations that allows interchangeable staffing, economy of scale to reduce costs without firing employees.
  22. Says clones of the military that has overthrown elected governments twelve times and innuendo now of doing it again. The senators' definition of what is detrimental to the nation's interests is questionable at best.
  23. Thailand deserves UN demands. What did the Thai government expect by wanting membership in the UN Human Rights Commission, then immediately and secretly deports asylum seeking Uyghurs back to China, continues to prosecute trafficked Mynamar peoples into Thailand? So if 555, the joke of irony is on Thailand
  24. Find a big parking lot after business hours
