    So what's the plan for diverting a meteor? Anyone know?

    Another term for Carbon Tax is Pay to Pollute. I cannot see that it will stop anything.

    People have a choice of whether to buy cheap goods. If they do, they cannot blame anyone for the quality. If Thais were as well-off as those in the West, they probably would prefer higher quality. Even now, those who are wealthy pay more than the poor for their goods. The main issue is that the West cannot compete with the Chinese.

    Waterbomb every farm that lights fires. Then say "oops".

    The EU could follow the UK's shining examples of deals with places in the Pacific. If the UK were to reenter the EU not much would change. Better to find ways to build products that are high in quality and low in price.

    I guess the same old faces will be there but some will have an office and some won't. I vote for Ben Brix, current affairs reporter for Housekeeping Weekly to be given a room too. Ben is a hard-hitting journalist who has advised the White House about how to arrange chairs like, forever.

    I am still waiting for Mexico to pay for the wall that will keep out fentanyl and migrants who don't have a ladder.

    I for one like the idea of America defunding foreigners to pay for domestic veterans, free healthcare and education, better infrastructure, cheaper eggs and so on. I look forward to the forthcoming announcements on how the savings are making life better for Americans. More power to them.

    I admit the permanent residence is a big benefit for me. After paying to get it, I feel good that I don't have to go to immigration and can't be caught out if the law changes, e.g. THB1m deposit for retirement visa. The red book is updated every 5 years. I asked the policeman who did it, what happens if I forget to stamp it? A fine. Cancellation of the PR? No.

    As with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, countries have been identifying other countries to do business with. If the situation with the US becomes a trade war, countries will look for other markets to sell and buy products. Even China.

    He built a house in Hua Hin? In whose name?

    There are 21 countries without a standing military. All small but mostly tourist destinations.

    If the fireboats were in disrepair, WHY were they left to rot? Was it just the California fires that woke someone up? In that case, what other essential services are currently not fit for purpose?

    Don't forget the price of eggs.

    I would love to watch a series that allows comedians to make jokes about anything they want, then watch the ratings.

    Dumbing down the English language to appeal to the people who left school at 15? Isn't it bad enough already?

    America needs to be more competitive. Lower the minimum wage to $6. Can't do that? Then hard to compete.

    Maybe if foreigners take thousands of pictures of Thais (like tuk tuk drivers) peeing at the side of the road and posted them to the web someone would consider adding to the public toilets available. Peeing in public is so common here that Thais have a special phrase. Shooting rabbits (ยิงกระต่าย)

    This may yield some days to prepare for a manned Mars mission. But space is not a natural habitat for people and they should use robots instead.

    A cunning plan to hurt the US by taking away its cheap labor no doubt.
  21. Purdey
    No explanation of why the Canadian company is not a good buyer.
  22. Purdey
    The fact that they helped themselves as well as America should make them targets.

    I suppose independence day and Thanksgiving will be next due to the woke blacks who aided the north and the red Indians who aided the white settlers.

    Always amuses me that capitalism's roots are in competition - until a country competes better, then it is called cheating.

    No mention if the driver was drunk from alcohol or drugs.
