Keeping some jobs for Thais is fine as they are usually low-cost jobs. Why a foreigner would want to massage people's feet is a mystery. Every country requires work permits for foreigners to work in local jobs even though some like Thailand restrict work.

Will eggs be cheap in Gaza?

The Olympics and other international bodies should ban men from female sports. The problem isn't only American.

I was quite annoyed that one prison (outside Bangkok) blocked all signals on the mobile phone that I needed in order to call someone. Couldn't figure out what was wrong with my phone until I got to the gate and was told all phones were blocked for over half a mile around it. I think that prisoners should have easy access to call families, for instance family numbers would be logged and could be called day or night. There is a reason prisoners want drugs.

There is that story of how someone stole a jet engine from the Thai International maintenance team and sold it back in pieces.

Do the Germans still use them? Do they not feel sorry for what was done?

Many years ago, I helped edit a government book called Thailand into the 90s, wherein we were told dual track railway was coming to Thailand "soon". I guess time is a bit wibbly wobbly for Thailand.

I understand you believe that Germany and Poland still have concentration camps. Why would you say that???

I didn't follow the hearing, but did he propose universal healthcare? Today, people pay for insurance that is then pooled so that the money from those who don't get sick is used by those who need it. Sounds legit.

I understand that you mean the Jewish people's origins. However, many Jewish immigrants were Holocaust survivors from displaced persons camps in Germany, Austria, and Italy. Others came from British detention camps in Cyprus. Many immigrated from Yemen, Iraq, Libya, Turkey, Iran, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, while others came from Eastern Europe.

There are many civilians in Iran who don't like the current system. To consider them collateral damage would mean the end of western supporters.

Well, taking the land was a good strategy against the Pawnee, the Cheyanne, the Sioux and so on. I think the Israelis should be sent to Europe as that is where many came from. However, I don't approve of forced evictions.

Should we know more about the Estonian diet?

A prime piece of real estate. Let Palestinians go somewhere else to wander the earth until the end of time.

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?
