GSFISM

Read an article on Yahoo News last night that listed the states that are open to all age groups..Forget the exact number as I slept after reading..At least 13 though. Not quoting but I believe May 1 is target date for all age groups nation wide..

J&J. That is what I want. One shot and no more worries. Easy to ship, store, and distribute. Apparently, effective against existing variants.

The biggest plus for zJ&J is that it is not the mRNA type..but only 66+% effective. Similar to flu shots.

This isn't a given. First the Senate must uphold the impeachment by 2/3rds majority, then an application to the Senate can be made to bar him from holding Federal office for life which requires a simple majority to pass, which would almost certainly pass now the Democrats hold the Senate.

 

McConnell is privately advocating this as it would wash that man right out of their hair, essential if the currently fractured Republican Party is to reunite and move forward as one.

 

It would also serve to remove any hopes of his base that their glorious leader will make a comeback. The Trump cult is a personality cult, remove the leader and the cult dies.

 

 

The Tea Party movement began in 2009 during Obama's first term..Unfortunately it was hijacked by Republican swamp critters.. The movement itself went on to elect Trump. It lives on as near 75 million Americans voted for Trump picking up a notable percentage of minorities and Democrats along the way..Even if Trump goes down they will find a replacement..To many Americans are fed up with the antics of DC..It would not surprise me to see another third party movement  

A sensible answer..We use one of the large cement "pots". Open bottom.. 900mm dia??? Set up on 4 bricks which provides air draft and clean out. If you sort as stated holds enough for monthly burns...Many local supply shops have..Most will deliver.

I'm not wishing for that to happen again where the national guard shot unarmed students, but don't you think it's two different situations? 

 

Or should the national guard not be armed, but only the police etc? 

Like millions of other I'm tired of violence regardless of who starts it. To the point of tears. Live in Thailand but USA will always be home.. Bout to bust 70 yr old wide open and seen things take place in US I never dreamed would happen..

No..I'm not saying "no arms". I'm only saying as with Kent State our National Guard has little or no experience in crowd control..It can get ugly quick with live rounds in inexperienced hands.. Praying it does not come to that...

Arm them all this time so people know it could have serious consequences if they cross a line. 

We do not need another Kent State.

Impeachment in the House requires a simple majority..In the Senate, after trial, it requires a 2/3 vote in favor of impeachment. Not likely to get 16 Republicians, or 18 depending on vote date, to vote with the Democrats.. The pundits I follow say if they do impeach after the 20th it will end up in the Supreme Court where it will be shot down as unconstitunal..

Have similar problem with TOT here in Amnat Charoen.. Nowhere near as frequent as you but once or twice a week will get the no signal light.. Sometimes will go  oupke weeks with no interruptions..Will last anywhere from few minutes to an hour.. Only started this three or four months back...My biggest problem is broken fiber 3-400 me up the road. Litt of scrub trees dropping Linda. Esp this time of year with the continuous winds..Happen twice this week...

Try nflstream.tv It is free to overseas viewers..All games available live..  Have not tried this year but past two seasons I did use this service.. 

Worked the GoM oilfied for 20+ years..Made just about every crew change port from Belle Chase, LA to Corpus Cristi, TX... Many thousands of people live along the LA. costal area in various small towns..Expected 15' - 20' storm surge pushing inland an expected 20+ miles will be devastating..w

600$ a week unemployment money ?  2400$ a month ???? who would want to work when you get that much ?

Try $600 + what one draws on unemployment. 

When a young man back stateside I helped neighbors on the chicken farms after school and weekends for pocket change...Chicks were fed crushed granite and oyster shell mix in feed. Granite to aid in grinding there feed during digestion...Oyster shell for calcium. Calcium for making the eggshell strong. So weak shell suggest not enough calcium in their diet.

No vaccine for SARS, MERS, Ebola. Why?

No one knows.

No profit me thinks.

Now with millions infected, thousands of fatalities, worldwide shutdown a sizeable profit  can be made. Esp if countries make it mandatory. Or requirement for international travel. 

The need to work has been replaced with government aid and increased unemployment benefits. At least in the US. The same happened during the previous adminstration and the financial crisis. I suspect similar is taking place in other countries. Reduce or stop the additional aid and repoll.

Just wait till the second wave hits this fall donald will be lucky to escape beeing tarred and feathered imo and that’s just the virus there’s still all the issues they are desperately trying to distract everyone from imo trumps toast

There is no way around a second wave. It's going to happen. Severity remains to be seen. If things are locked down again then there will be a third wave. Wave after wave until a proven reliably vaccine is available in combination will built up immunities. Not everyone will respond equally to a vaccine.

Exports to US only account for 10% and the removal of GSP on certain categories will certainly have an effect further down the line but won't show in these figures just yet. The baht continues to hold out because other econmies are in dire straits too.

 

https://tradingeconomics.com/thailand/exports

Those that follow the news should know that GSP was pulled due to the government refusal to address child labor, virtual slave labor, slave like working conditions, wages the most frugal can barely survive on. Not only the US is pushing Thailand to reform their labor laws.

Being a US citizen I know that we can not expect all things made in the USA. But we do expect a fair playing field. Trade agreements that are more equal. Corporate tax rates that are competitive, a tax holiday to encourage business and their funds to return to the US.

Do not all western government strive for the same for their citizens?

Yes, Trumps is on tweeter to much, he engages mouth before brain, he should consult and listen to his advisors more. Yet he works day and night wage free. Each pay cycle going to a different charity. I believe he works for the USA and it's citizens trying to do good for both. Yet because it's Trump, not a member of the Swamp, or Deep State, or Good Ole Boys he is met with resistance, trash talk, and general hatred. Domestic and Foreign. 

Last full moon three planets were visible to the naked eye. Saturn, Venus, Mars. On clear nights The rings of Saturn can be seen with a decent 20x telescope.

My stepdaughter failed for car test in Amnat Charoen. Could return every three days for 90 days. After that would need to retest all from beginning. "Assume" same would apply for motorcycle. I did my motorcycle test on my HD 2002 Softail Heritage. DL test man said first he had seen test done on big bike. The test "balance beam" is 15 mtr long x 30 cm wide. I practiced on 20 mtr x 20 cm before taking test. The swerve test is cones spaced 5 mtr. I practiced set at 4 mtr. Tires on the Heritage are 130 front x 150 rear. So one bobble and ya off. I also pratxide staying on the sid white shoulder stripe at the motorcycle lane. Some are thich paint so raised a bit.

To answer Ubon Joe .. Did not need the  bank letter confirming account. Was expecting request but did not ask for. I had previously stopped by for lastest requirements. IO gave me copy in English of lastest police order. Confirmation letter was not listed as a banking requirement. I must add the IO I always deal with is professional and always cordial. Unfortunately was informed he intends to retire next year.

I just returned from Savannaket yesterday. Notice posted they will be closed 23rd and 26th
