Srikcir replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Seems Musk wants to be Trump's "Fuhrer of Industry." "How Big Business Bailed Out the Nazis," May 20, 2016 https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/ “what can go wrong when political objectives and the pursuit of profit become dangerously entwined.” -
Trump Media Shares Skyrocket Following Assassination Attempt
Srikcir replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Add to the fact that Trump is not required to post on Truth Social whose value is largely connected to Trump postings. He could start a competitive outlet and post entirely on it, having sold his shares on Truth Social. -

Trump picks J.D. Vance as running mate for VP at Republican convention
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in World News
What has been published: "Crooks was a registered Republican who is said to have made a $15 political donation to a progressive group." aa.com.tr Have any legitimate references? Or just an active imagination? "Historically, the Republican Party included a progressive wing that advocated using government to improve the problems of modern society." Wikipedia "In 2017 New York Times ranked Republican Sebator Collins as the most moderate Republican in the Senate." Wikipedia That noted, political party allegiance tends towards national election candidates versus grass root candidates such county tax assessor, county circuit judge, county school board, county board of commissioners etc. where local familiarity can transcend political party labels. Donations for such low-level political positions tend to be small, ie., $15. -
Thailand Leaves Out Certain Groups from Digital Wallet Project
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Maybe this: "The ruling Pheu Thai party had initially suggested digital wallet payments for all Thais 16 and older, but later this was limited to only lower-income Thais, defined as people with yearly incomes not exceeding 840,000 baht (about $23,000) and savings in financial institutions not totaling more than 500,000 baht ($13,700)." "Thailand is set to roll out a controversial $13.8 billion handout plan in digital money to citizens," July 15, 2024 https://apnews.com/ -
US is seeing huge economic corrections but just the opposite of your dire economic prediction.

Trump Rally Shooting Alarms Ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What should be on fire is MAGA that supports AR-15 assault-style weapons nationwide. "House Republicans introduce bill to declare AR-15-style assault rifle US 'national gun', Feb. 23, 2023 https://americanjournalnews.com "GOP Congress members want to celebrate the semi-automatic weapons that have continued to be used in mass shootings across the country. “to remind people of the Second Amendment of the Constitution and how important it is in preserving our liberties. President Joe Biden and Democratic lawmakers have worked, so far unsuccessfully, to enact an assault weapons ban." No one to blame for the Trump rally shooting but the leader of MAGA - Trump. I've not seen that level of hypocrisy with Thaksin. -

99-Year Land Lease To Foreigners Will Harm Thailand: Jatuporn
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Practically, why would any individual foreigner want a 99 year lease in a country where foreigners have no constitutional rights, subjected to arbitrary military-royalist zenophobic laws and regulations to convince Thais of their never-ending insecurity due to foreign influence? Why would Thais worry about resident foreigners taking control of the nation when the average Thais never possessed sovereignty in their own land. The nation in terms of democratic freedoms and rule of law hasn't really changed since 1932 other than to broaden the elitist base. -
Thailand’s EV 3.0 policy faces major oversupply challenges
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Are you sure? Import tariffs are paid by the importing capitalists, thereby raising the price the consumer would pay. And so the consumer doesn't purchase the imported EV. Giving American owned Tesla an advantage that has EV plants in Fremont, California; Sparks, Nevada; Austin, Texas; and Buffalo, New York. So its EVs are tariff-free in the US. -
Senior Military Officers' Early Retirement Plan Gets Approved
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The scheme might also be seen as reward for having created and contributing to operational ineffeciency (over 700 military generals who act as specialists but do not hold significant positions?) in the first place. Meanwhile the government can't fund its E-Wallet scheme for the millions of the Thai polity who are victims of military inefficiencies. -
200 Senators Report For Duty Amid Election Controversy
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Shouldn't there be a Royal Proclamation appointing the new selected Senate members (bypassing the Thai electorate) prior to embarking on Senate duties just as it was with appointment of the new PM and Cabinet? -
Thailand - the Hub of Unelected Officials. Really need to amend it's Constitution wherein the sovereignty of the nation belongs to the Thai Peoples.

Foreign man smashes car window and tries to assault Lao man
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
"The foreign man parked his motorcycle in the middle of the road, leaving his child sitting there." Hardly a safe place for the child to be (in the roadway) while the father engages in road rage. This attack is more about the father's ego than his child's safety. -
Impeachment Hearing for PM Srettha Delayed Again
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's not like Thavisin overthrew an elected government in violation of the constitution. To which the CC never challenged the 2014 military junta abolishing the 2007 constitution as unconstitutional. Nor held as unconstitutional an unelected junta PM and junta-appointed House ministers. Makes one wonder just what "severe constitutional violations" constitute under the Rule of Law? -
