The people in power want neither rents nor house prices to be controlled or to go down. They all want them to keep going up.

Are people free to build as many homes as they want?

Probably the director's wife's calendar business.

Or how much 5 million calendars would normally cost.

Why focus on one person if it is common to both sides? "Trump is so bad for doing the same thing that other politicians have done!" - This is hypocritical and illogical. It suggests you have a(nother) bias and only care about this issue when Trump does it. If two groups do something, but you only complain about one group doing it, it shows that you aren't being sincere in your outrage for the thing done, but just want something bad to say about the person you don't like.

So the left can't and the right can't? Then why only complain about Trump?

If the left can do it, why not the right?

Unfortunately, women are often drawn to men that treat them badly (especially wealthy ones). Even more so in Thailand. An abusive boyfriend, or "toxic boy", seems to be very attractive to a Thai girl. It sounds like the truth probably presented itself early on, but she didn't want to leave. Hopefully she can escape and see some justice.

Depends on nationality and social status.

Interesting to hear of a Thai making such a statement. "They can manage this, but we cannot."

Apparently Shin Bet killed Hamas' chief bomb maker using a bomb in a mobile phone in 1996. Perhaps the reporter's Googling skills are a little under developed.

And some of these kids have had it during their critical period. They've likely become hard wired to this and will have severe emotional problems for life.

Then he can renegotiate, or replace her. Surely that's the benefit of paying a woman a salary to be with you?

Well, you're paying her to be in a relationship with you, so that might give you a clue...

Yeah, but this time it's different. Before he was OK with the person in power, so it wasn't an issue. Now it's Trump who's in power (who he doesn't like), and it's suddenly an issue.
