  1. That and set inflation afire again. Everything Trump touches dies.
  2. Who’s defending ‘National Socialism’? Or you making stuff up again?!
  3. The UN WFP and FAO in particular do outstanding work.
  4. Well I don’t expect a storming of the Capitol. I see you’ve caught on to the correct use of the term ‘I expect’.
  5. National Socialism is not socialism. But congratulations, you do get the thread’s Godwin Gong.
  6. No I’m simply calling out your patently ill informed statement. As for relative costs, they are of no relevance to the millions of Thai who don’t find living cheap. Ask your neighbors 😉
  7. Yes, opinions. This being a discussion forum. When I state something a fact I provide links.
  8. I don’t engage in such nonsense hypothesizing, it does not detract from the fact that arguing ‘defense’ is not genocide is entirely dependent upon the means of defense.
  9. I would be more than a little surprised if you understand anything they say, let alone express their views on the cost of living with you. Professional Expat farm sounds interesting, can I have one?
  10. So you accept your statement regarding Thailand being pretty cheap to live is demonstrably ill informed and that for millions of Thai people the cost of living here is not cheap?!
  11. I think it has a lot to do with protected cartels, one in particular.
  12. Trumps rubes have yet to learn who it is that pays tariffs.
  13. Not for millions of Thai people it isn’t.
  14. Like he didn’t last time.
  15. I expect the rejection of Gaetz as the AG pushed the numbers up. Though I doubt most Americans are giving Trump’s transition much thought at all while Trump’s absence from social media and public appearances can only help quieten public perception of what’s going on.
  16. It depends on the means of ‘defending’.
  17. The Space Karen obviously doesn’t like being called to testify before a Parliamentary inquiry.
  18. Thank you both for taking the time to respond with helpful suggestions. The tree is a Chum Saeng (Xanthophyllum lanceatum) I’ll apply the treatments DTL has recommended but also work on improving the soil around the tree. I have about 2 cubic meters of leaf mold/banana tree compost that I will start with and some micronutrients recommended by the local farm supply shop. Thanks again.
  19. Yet more crystal ball predictions. Although there are reports of. £100million increase in taxes on the parasitic gambling industry. I wonder what outrage and objections that will give rise to?
  20. 14 years to be precise. The about turn, ending austerity and shifting the tax burden off ordinary working people onto the wealthy is causing some pain and a lot of bleating, but it’s time to e d the lie of trickledown economics.
  21. We really do need an award for the first off topic ‘refugee/immigrant’ in any thread.
  22. Thank you Brian, you did read your link? ”They warned their autumn survey did not even take account of the further damage caused by the government’s announcement of an employer National Insurance hike. And it is feared that before long all councils will be in the same funding black hole. Their research found a massive 81% of councils are warning they are on course to overspend before next April, up from 72% last financial year.” Yes local councils are in dire financial straits, 72% overspending last year now up to a forecast 82% or higher. That’s what happens after over a decade of austerity and cuts to public spending. Thankfully Labour ending austerity and increasing public spending.
