  1. The bill hadn't and will not pass unless Democrats support it which they will not
  2. And every Russian Oblast
  3. According to senior researcher at the Thailand Development Research Institute Nichamon Thongphat, if a bus is catorized as an "informal" bus (not a public bus) it is not regulated by the Department of Land Transportation requiring registration. I'd think that when used to transport vulnerable school children, such vehicle must be registered and annually inspected for children's safety. The subject bus appears to be a "double decker." Until a horrific fatality accident of a double decker bus in March 2018 in which 18 people were killed and more than 30 injured, operators of double decker buses were required to have LTD confirm safety standards. Following that accident LTD stopped accepting new registrations of double decker buses. "Land Transport Department to Stop Registering New Double-decker buses," April 2, 2018 https://www.huahintoday.com/ So was the subject bus unregistered? And as such uninsured?
  4. Immediately followed by a "tactical retreat" for the 10% of troops remaining alive.
  5. Come on Russians, there must be at least one window open in the Kremlin.
  6. Are you voting from overseas? If Trump looses the election you will be blamed. Overseas voters are the latest target in Trump's false narrative on election fraud. Donald Trump this week falsely accused Democrats of cheating their way to a win in November, using a bipartisan 1986 act to claim without evidence that anyone overseas can get a ballot emailed to them, even if they’re not eligible to vote. By Melissa Goldin, Associated Press September 26, 2024
  7. Early voting is encouraged by the RNC but not by your god-king Trump even as he votes early in Florida. Donald Trump has flip-flopped more on early voting than practically any other issue. The result is a Republican base that has no idea what to believe. Donald Trump dismissed early voting as "stupid" but nevertheless encouraged voters in Pennsylvania to cast ballots as soon as possible...Issued on: 09/24/2024 Despite Trump's objections he recognizes the advantage Democrats have had in recent elections with early voting, so his campaign has been encouraging Republicans to cast ballots before election day.
  8. Measured against other currencies can be confusing in terms of sustainable living. COLA adjustments to annual income US Social Security has averaged about 2.6% over the past 20 years; it even remained stagnant (0.0%) in 2010, 2011 and 2016. Then 8.7% in 2023, 3.2% adjustment in 2024 and expected 2.56% for 2025. Compared to Thailand's lower inflation rates, US retirement in Thailand based on Social Security benefits in recent years appears generally advantageous. More so for US federal pensions based on the Civil Service Retirement System Civil that is adjusted annualy based on US Social Security COLA. To quote Alfred E. Neuman: "What, me worry?"
  9. I believe he was appointed by the National Police Commission whose Chairman is the Prime Minister. The NPC is not a PM Cabinet position that requires Royal endorsement. But PM position does.
  10. If you want excitement: Thai VietJet
  11.

  12. That would be great but ... Very difficult if not impossible due to high household debt. Thailand's average household debt has reached a record high due to slow economic growth, lower incomes and high living costs, and people are having trouble servicing their loans the country's household debt is16.4 trillion baht ($484 billion), or 90.8% of gross domestic product (GDP) at the end of March 2024, among the highest in Asia. And not improving. Average household debt up 8.4% this year. If the government doesn't understand all facets of a problem, it cannot solve the problem.
  13. "But yet everyone else manages ok"
  14. Let me reiterate: Thais (the "public electorate") vote for parties that promote their choice for PM and those parties occupy the House based on the number of minister seats they can claim. It's a parliamentary system. There was no "public electorate" election that led to Paetongtarn Shinawatra becoming PM.
  15. Many car leasing firms in Thailand...Google it. Example: https://carasti.com/AE/en (previously Carzuno)
  16. My Mobile bank app says I need to register my National ID to use PromptPay. I don't have a National ID. So not possible to use?
  17. Will someone like Elon just buy the intellectual property, trademarks, and even social media accounts of Infowars and give it back to Jones?
  18. It didn't work for Roseanne Bar until she met MAGA and Tucker Carlson.
  19. You don't need AI to do this. Just listen to Trump and Vance.
  20. Look what's in plain sight. Putin wants genocide of every Ukrainian. Trump could care less.
  21. It is a privilege and right for the US Head of State POTUS to meet foreigner leaders and/or their representative ambassadors and does not require congressional approval.
  22. It might also highlight the failure of peace talks re-initiated by PM Prayut started in March 2020 in the aftermath of the failed negotiations with PM Yingluck Shinawatra's inability to contain the Thai army's objections in circa 2013. The RTM argued Thailand's sovereignty is undivided and cannot allow as defenders of the state the Southern Muslim 90% occupied provinces (former Muslim Kingdom of Patani) to have semi-autonomy. Coincidentally, Gen. Prayut led a military coup in 2014 to overthrow the Yingluck government.
  23. Home buyers is such flood prone areas can get flood insurance. Much of South Florida is barely above sea level but flood insurance is available. The monthly cost is ridiculously cheap compared to potential damage. Wikipedia: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a program created by the Congress of the United States in 1968 through the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-448). The NFIP has two purposes: to share the risk of flood losses through flood insurance and to reduce flood damages by restricting floodplain development. The program enables property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection, administered by the government, against losses from flooding, and requires flood insurance for all loans or lines of credit that are secured by existing buildings, manufactured homes, or buildings under construction, that are located in the Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that participates in the NFIP.
  24. "In Uthai Thani province, the government commenced disbursing 10,000 baht to vulnerable groups and those with disabilities." Where do you get credit from an ATM?
