Why not have it a joint Fox & ABC debate, with one moderator from each network? Also, there should be a truth meter at the bottom of the screen.

The ICC prosecutor has requested an arrest warrant for Haniyeh, despite the fact that he was leader of the political wing and, according to publicly available information, not taking part in the planning or execution of the 10/7 operation. Besides, he was leading the negotiations for the ceasefire. The bombing of Haniyeh is not in the interests of peace, but fits Netanyahu's objectives.

How about malware on her phone? Banking apps are dangerous, especially people who are not tech savvy. -

Maybe there is a keylogger malware on your computer. Aside from the antivirus software on your computer, there are scans available online to seek out and neutralize such malware. -
Buriram Woman Loses 530,000 Baht in Baffling Bank Transfers
placnx replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
My bank abolished online banking and said that customers should use their banking app. I will never do that. Fortunately I had already chosen to get a text message if there are withdrawals exceeding 5000 Baht. Of course that was set up through online banking. This is for a passbook account. If customers want to get such a text message service, can they set this up at their bank branch, or is the only option using the banking app? The latter would be bad, since once a banking app has been downloaded, that might open the customer up to illicit withdrawals, even if he/she deleted the app right after setting up the text message service. That's my fear, anyway. -
Legal Strategies to Reduce Thai Tax

Concerning (2), I assume that you are thinking of transferring from an account where funds are not going in, and there is no ongoing income. I'm skeptical. If you have income from any source, to my mind normally that would count first, regardless of the account (outside Thailand) from which funds were transferred. -
If you look into the problem with the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory by Alex Jones, the awarded damages resulted because the parents of the dead kids were subject to serious harassment by people who listened to the Alex Jones podcast and were enraged. Is anyone harassing the families of those injured or killed in the Trump assassination attempt? Apples and oranges.

Hamas felt that the possibility of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords could lead to annexation of the West Bank and ehtnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Although the Kingdom was insisting that there be an irreversible two-state solution, that apparently would have followed the same negociation model as the Oslo Accords. Thirty years of that has shown that it is an unworkable process. Now public opinion in the Kingdom would not allow such a deal to proceed.

Will trusts from Thailand
placnx replied to Foxx's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
As I understand it, there is a concept that sounds like a guardian. It's called "pipat". The problem is that the court will name such a person, though if you have a local lawyer he might be able to steer this to someone that you trust. As for a trust, the law is based on European law where trusts don't exist, so you could set up a trust in the UK with a responsible family member as trustee (to avoid prohibitive fees). This would limit the incentive for the local court et al to abuse their power to appoint a profiteer. -
Thai factory closures, a victim of Chinese imports surge
placnx replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The pandemic experience is forcing a rethink. Since China is an historical source of pandemics, now the thinking is to curtail outsourcing to China and shorten the supply chain. In the US case, that means more manufacturing relocated to Mexico. Still, Thailand will get some of the industry moving out of China, but higher-end production is more likely moving to Malaysia or other countries with a well-educated workforce. -

Kamala Harris Surges as Top Choice to Replace Joe Biden, Poll Reveals

For some reason Kamala strikes me as a Hilary analogue, so not interesting and not electable. -

Whitmer is good, but there's also Amy Klobuchar. I agree that it would be better to have Whitmer than Harris, considering that Harris has to carry the baggage of Ukraine & Gaza. How about Cory Booker for the VP slot? Check out his education. He would be an excellent follow on to Whitmer in 8 years, to be hoped. -
