You're reputation points of "45" says it all.

Consider "intelligent life" has had the opportunity to arise over the almost 14 billion years of our universe. Home sapiens on Earth only appeared 300,000 years ago and current brain shape developed 100,000 years ago. Also, what we may observe "now" (observable light taking millions/billions of years to travel the universe) may not be seen to support life, ie., in the goldilocks zone, didn't mean it might not have or can't in the foreseeable future. The Earth itself was a virtual ice ball enduring Sturtian glaciation for about 60 million years.

And that was largely the delay caused by the Senate that refused to endorse the MFP and coalition as House majority. Perhaps include the PTP that decided a power grab with the Senate and former government political supporters. So now it's ironic that the PTP et al are so serious about increasing the GDP. Just like the Prayut to stall the GDP, then rally the public to increase it.

To clarify, a New York state chartered LLC, Trust, corporation, etc. can in turn hold out-of-state real estate like Mar Lago in Florida. Trump over the decades literally "put all his eggs" into one basket- New York (I'm sure there may be foreign assets held by offshore entities).

Maybe UK should join BRIC.

Probably not far off. I recall that PM during his UN trips looked forward to having American beef steak dinners served in his hotel room.

Being paid 3% annual interest rate is very good. August 2023 Bank of Thailand raised key interest rate to 2.25%, a 9-year high.

The PM is the Chairman of the National Police Commission which oversees the administrative functions of the Police Service Commission in charge of personnel management and appointing the police Commissioner General. So it might have followed that PM Pita was fully aware of the search subpoena in advance (maybe even ordered it?) for Deputy National Police Chief Pol Gen. “Big Joke". An interesting question as an aside might be why wasn't this investigation and subpoena conducted during PM Prayut's eight year regime?

Since when? Isn' defamation in Thailand defined by "hurt to one's reputation", according to personal perception? Especially when posted on social media like Facebook, Tic Toc, etc. that could also constitute criminal violation of the Computer Act? Rupp could instead reported the videoed incident to the police, let the police follow the Truth if they chose. But Rupp wanted to "feed" to his Tic Toc followers.

What business and wealth? Trump no longer controls any assets in New York. His corporate charters have been revoked immediately. A receiver will be appointed to dissolve the company, take over the assets and distribute them as the court sees fit. The receiver would continue to collect rents, pay taxes, pay the bills and company salaries until the assets are sold off with Trump receiving what's left after debts and liabilities. It's expected the State will ask far higher than the original $250 million, upwards to $2 billion. The jury, the judge in this case, will decide.

And it would be more than an aggregate of 180 days during the year.

Notably: Article 18 Pensions 1. Pensions and other similar remuneration, whether they consist of periodic or non-periodic payments, for past employment, arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident or the other Contracting State shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State.

Laughing laughter.

So impose new higher taxes on resident expats that may instead lower their current spending levels or cause them to leave the country. Devious! Or provide them with higher wages and skills that will increase their standard of living and reduce income inequality.

Even better, the Governor of Georgia cannot pardon Trump either. Instead that is the authority of a five-member Board of Pardons and Paroles. You might say, ha-ha, Trump still can get away. However, to apply for a pardon one must already have served five years of their sentence.

But within the economic bounds established by the junta's 20-Year National Strategy Plan enshrined in the junta's written 2019 Constitution. It will take in part the pro-military appointed Senate support. So innovation may be limited. If you've had years of economic stability, might "stagnation" be a good thing? But in fact the 2014 coup drove the economy backwards and took five years to rebound just to the 2013 level, albeit virtually abandoning traditional high-value GDP instruments such as export of goods and services to be replaced with low-value tourism. Yeah, military overthrow and civil war in Myanmar is creating "civil unrest." But a criminal Myanmar government is BBF with the new government as it was with the old. I would hardly characterize Russia's almost 2-year war against Ukraine as a form of "political and economic instability." Same goes with China's desire to annex Taiwan into a Hong Kong-like state or China's declaration of sovereignty over the entire South China Sea..

What is "earned income"? Not pension/social security distributions. US Internal Revenue Service: Examples of earned income are wages, salaries, tips and other taxable employee compensation. Earned income also includes net earnings from self-employment . Earned income DOES NOT include amounts such as pensions and annuities, welfare benefits, unemployment compensation, worker's compensation benefits. https://www.irs.gov/government-entities/Indian-tribal-governments/itg-faq-2-answer-what-income-is-considered-earned-income KPMG observation of effect on Section 41 Paragraph 2 of the Thai Revenue Code by the proposed tax changes: Previously the assessable income derived by a Thai tax resident from employment, a business carried on overseas, or from a property situated overseas, would have been subject to Thai personal income tax. The new interpretation means that foreign-sourced income brought into Thailand from 1 January 2024 onwards will be subject to Thai individual income tax... (my bold emphasis) US Foreign Earned Income Exclusion: The US foreign earned income exclusion was created to avoid double taxation for Americans living abroad. If taxed other than as earned income by Thailand, tax likely cannot be credited against US income for US tax purposes. In effect a double taxation and violation of US-Thailand tax treaty. But Thailand wants now to emphasize more investments from the US Government?

See Panama Papers.

"Not only was the creation of the Electoral College in part a political workaround for the persistence of slavery in the United States, but almost none of the Founding Fathers’ assumptions about the electoral system proved true." History.com , "Why was the Electoral College Created?" The Convention delegates "thought 18th-century voters lacked the resources to be fully informed about the candidates, especially in rural outposts. Second, they feared a headstrong “democratic mob” steering the country astray. And third, a populist president appealing directly to the people could command dangerous amounts of power." The nation obviously moved in a different direction over time through what I would blame in part to fascist corporate domination of the US political system and unrestrained social media. America's democratic political success over time has been its failure.

Gift tax is not an income tax. From Mazars tax rate in 2023 for yearly employment income and hire of work range from exempt for less than 150,000 THB to 35% for 5 million and over. https://www.mazars.co.th/Home/Insights/Doing-Business-in-Thailand/Payroll/Personal-Income-Tax

Much empirical evidence suggests that wage increases do not lead to inflation. "Do Higher Wages Cause Inflation?", April 2004 by Magnus Jonsson and Stefan Palmqvist. Simple correlations have found no relationship between the sectors with the most wage growth and where costs are going up the most. "Wage slashing is not the answer to inflation," Nov. 4, 2022 by Kate Bahn, MSNBC Columnist. "Inflation and nominal wage growth tend to stabilize, leaving real wage growth broadly unchanged." Study by IMF in Nov. 2022, cited in "Will giving workers a pay raise really make Inflation worse?", www.bigissue.com Finally, lack of worker negotiating power will suppress wage increases, allowing greater corporate profits that increase income inequality. In Thailand about 2% of the workforce is organized into trade unions and less than half percent of private enterprises in Thailand had unions. March 2017, "International Labour Standards and Thai Trade Unions Agenda for Labour Law Reforms," www.ilo.org/asia/countries/thailand

Correct. The POTUS election is not determined by popular vote, unlike State and Local elections. Do ehat's your point? Unless a State prorates electoral votes between candidates based on popular vote (and some States do), it's winner takes all based on a simple majority vote. Landslide State votes for POTUS beyond say 51% for a candidate are essentially wasted.

Reminds me what PM Prayut said in June 30, 2022: "Thailand's weak baht is good for exports while it's fiscal and financial position remains strong....Baht weakness, however, has a negative impact for some and the finance ministry and central bank are monitoring." www.thestar.com.my Previously in August 22, 2019, it was mentioned in The Diplomat that as a broader point in order to have a more balanced budget than based on costly investment increases from higher deficit spending, the sensible policy might have been to trim defense spending and "put that money toward new stimulus works, if the economy were truly the focus." In fact the government committed to a higher YOY military spending. Sound familiar?

Got this in an email from BOI LTR Visa Unit: "the revenue department has already announced a royal decree to exempt the LTR- Wealthy Global/ Wealthy Pension/ Work from Thailand from paying the income tax derived from oversea business/ work and assets. Therefore the change in conditions will not effect the exemption of the LTR mentioned group."
