  1. Your source for 90 trillion? When a figure seems outrageous, it might just be false. Especially in light of Biden's budget that provides $11 billion commitment for international climate finance, including $3 billion for the President's Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience. Why worry about whatever you allege the cost for climate change for the US? Trump considers climate change to be fake propaganda.
  2. Shortages which he ignored while POTUS and opposed POTUS Biden's plans to correct.
  3. I was referring to no Federal mandates as Trump claimed. Of course states are independent to make such mandates but they are unenforceable - more a goal towards environmental objectives.
  4. There haven't been any mandates. There have been incentives but they're not mandatory.
  5. It's not an emergency exception but the Constitution that all peoples in America are entitled to Due Process of the Law. A Presidential Order cannot override the Constitution. But Trump has expressed intent to overthrow the US Constitution to become a dictator. That would be an interesting attempt as it would put Trump on conflict withe the US military that has sworn yo Uphold the Constitution. Coups without military backing don't do well.
  6. The hearing process is adjudication by an immigration judge within Department of Homeland Security. It's unlikely Trump nominations have infiltrated DHS to the extent that the Rule of Law will be abrogated. So undocumented immigrants will get a fair and impartial review. Depending on information regarding the immigrants presence in the US under US asylum laws, they may be granted permanent stay in the US or deported. But the current problem is more judges are needed to shorten the time gor adjudication. POTUS Trump refused to increase number of immigration judges and subsequent MAGA congressmen continued refusal to government requests.
  7. Highly likely from this appointment that BOT key interest rates will be driven by politics than by economics. The former could result in higher household debt and lower value of the baht that will affect imports.
  8. There is environmental pollution. And then there is literacy pollution. Thank you onezero for your examples..
  9. Trump can't make nominations until January 20th when HE becomes POTUS
  10. At the 7/11 where I shop, in the salad area are packages of US silver dollar-sized cooked 5-6 chicken pieces much less than 50 baht. Cut in half for two more salads.
  11. And I wonder about similar driving accident on the developing Rama 2 elevated highway that at several areas appear 100 meters above the ground. If the whole vehicle ejects over the side, seat belts and air bags will be meaningless. You might think surely the highway side barriers will contain a vehicle from going over. But a vehicle might be ejected over the barrier resulting from a clash with one or more vehicles (especially 16 wheelers)?
  12. If true, that's BS. Find an attorney or government representative to contact the Governor and file a complaint.
  13. Atlantic City has world class casinos, so no.
  14. It's called advancing in age, ie., 60+. Why don't 't you research the topic instead of speculating?
  15. Freedom of religion. Albeit, just another form of a cult just as all religions tend to be.
  16. Trivial issue. The POTUS can put whatever he wants in the Oval Office. Pictures of family and friends are common.
  17. I never understood government's resistance to pay the debt that was clearly contractual and enforceable. I don't recall the amount of the original debt but the interest rate for nonpayment built up quickly. The governor and city counsel should personally bear the cost of interest (ie., not passing it on to citizens through any taxation or budgetary reductions). And/or perhaps resign.
  18. Check 7/11's. I get the Caesar Salad clear box with a small Caesar dressing package, 8 small croutons and small amount of chicken. No parmeson grated cheese but you can buy that separately at like Villa Market or Tops Online.. There are other kinds of salads. Various lettuce cuts are fresh. Cost is 50 baht. Maybe not at all 7/11's.
  19. Oh I agree, including the Malay Muslim Kingdom of Patani. But superpower Great Britain in that time controlled annexations in SE Asia had other ideas about who got which of the small Muslim Kingdom's as it wanted trade noncompetitive trade agreements with all the small Muslim Kingdom's.
  20. Northern states of Malaysia ( Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis ) were in the past vassal states of Siam ( now Thailand ). Thailand relinquished its claims to the northern states in the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909. https://www.quora.com/Why-isn’t-Southern-Thailand-part-of-Malaysia-It-has-a-similar-ethnicity-culture-and-religion Territory was not "lost" but willingly transferred.
  21. Notice does not mention Malay Muslim insurgents who would be escaping Thailand. They do escape into the jungle areas bordering Thailand and Malaysia to avoid Thai military. But according to Malaysia (as I recall several years ago), many Malay Muslim insurgents receive dual Malaysian citizenship and can enter Malaysia legally. In the past Thai government has asked Malaysia for a list of such people but denied.
  22. "Yes, climate change is linked to an increased likelihood of earthquakes: Rising sea levels The rise in sea levels caused by climate change increases hydrostatic pressure underground, which can lead to changes in seismic cycles. Storms Extreme weather events like hurricanes can cause a release of energy in the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes." Citation for example: "More earthquakes due to global warming," 05/29/2024 - https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/press/news
  23. False. The US has been the leading nation to quickly lend US technology, weapons and money to Ukraine to counter Russian invasion. Well, except when Trump was POTUS who wanted to trade US javelins necessary to stop Russian tanks for political "dirt" on Biden's bid for POTUS. Well, having presidential immunity as granted by the USSC, he didn't call in Seal Team Six to resolve Republican "issues." But Biden is POTUS until January 20th, so who knows?
  24. The state prosecution relies on the recommendations of state grand juries to prosecute. If the grand jury says no sufficient grounds for prosecution, the prosecution cannot legally proceed to prosecute.
