Very brave security man that stand up for his dignity and morality.

Very brave indeed - managed a clean hit and knocked the woman out cold. Luckily she didn't hit the concrete head first.

Important to remember that she slapped him twice - beating him up within an inch of his life before he stood up for his dignity.

Not one car but multiple cards totaling available credit of a million dollars. A dozen of them have more than $50,000 in credit limits. The maximum is 75K. I borrow $100,000 at 3% for one year and then invest in VOO. I have been doing that for almost 10 years. A cool 16–17K in profits before taxes just to keep those cards. I know one person who has 1200 cards and lives off of the income from his cards. I have 107 cards in the last 

Ahhhh - better than growing money trees in the backyard.

2 questions:

Why is not everybody doing it? 

When did you last check your credits core? A million+ dollars available credit (unsecured) and counting ......... nothing further

Seems the central bankers plan is...*WHEN* the next banking crisis happens, introduce CBDCs

Public will think "CBDC is safer - it's backed by the Govt/CB so I'll open a CBDC account"

 

After a while make Central Bank Digital Currencies the only option.

Then CBs/Govts will be able to see your spending: where, when, with whom - it'll all be recorded.  

And they won't need to have to deal with a bank as your account will be with the central authority.

 

Great thing for Govts and Central Bankers is that, with CBDCs, they'll be able to automatically set end enforce rules on our spending in terms of what, where, we can spend.

 

So, after a while, introduce and automatically enforce rules on our spending

(where we can spend, what we can spend on, who with and so on) -

justify by saying:

"it's for the environment, you do care about the environment don't you?" or

"It's for your health" or

"It's for the greater good"

"It's for the war in..."

or any other excuse they can justify....

If there's a crisis, Govt/CBs can just take the money from our accounts to 'solve the crisis'.

 

Here's a longer video where the Head of the BIS (Central Bank of Central Banks) explains the plan:

 

https://www.pymnts.com/cash/2024/swedens-central-bank-proposes-rules-to-facilitate-use-of-cash/

I fully agree with your assessment of slowly sliding into a dystopian future.

Fortunately, there are some exceptions to the rule - see above.

Even more remarkable considering Sweden is an almost cashless society now with 99% of all transaction cashless one way or another.

Another positive side of getting the vast majority of people embracing the fantastic tech (nobody wants to be seen as a technophobe) and unwittingly assisting the banks in saving the cost of maintaining branches, ATM's and having their storefront workforce decimated. 

Positive for people holding and/or accumulating corresponding stock, cashing in on fat dividends😊

On the other hand - incredibly amusing to see the number 1 numptie falling hook, line and sinker for the number 1 April foolsday joke

I just started reading page 1 of this (currently) 10-page thread, and realised after a couple of posts that this was an April Fool's Day joke.

 

Honestly, I need to block almost every poster in the next 10 pages because (apart from a few), you all fell for this joke - time to count your brain cells! 🙂

 

April Fools day - 365 days, hard to distinguish🤪

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin advocated for the legalisation of casinos to combat the shadowy underworld economy in Thailand.

Why stop there?

Legalise the drug trade et all ..... to combat the shadowy underworld economy ....

I guess he was sticking to the wrong lane, like most North European people do when crossing Europe on motorways, putting themselves - and other road users! - at high risk of being hit from behind by someone on a rush!

I have seen many of these scandinavian morons doing the same in Hua Hin! Some of them driving even naked without any helmet!

My comment might be very poor under the circumstances, but I am not responsible for the very poor driving attitude of some of those creatures!

Wrong on all accounts- see my earlier post.

He paid $44B for Twitter, a liberal activist site loved by the left ....... X now is an unbiased platform promoting free speech.

Which the vast majority doesn’t seem to appreciate considering its current market valuation of $7.28B.

Get real. She kicked an 8 month pregnant woman in the abdominal area. Cancel her visa and deport her ASAP!

You forgot that she is a revered guest of Thailand from Russia - a 500 Baht fine and a 14 day suspended prison sentence will serve as a stiff reminder to strictly follow the law.

Reason for Crackdown is to "enhance tourists safety" - repeated at nauseam on a daily basis.

The elephant in the room jeopardizing tourist's safety a lot more than any of the listed "crimes to be combatted" is not being addressed at all.

The daily carnage on Phuket's roads.

Increase of road death January to March 20, 2024: 42% with still 11 days until the end of March, compared with Jan. to March 2023.

And 6'388 injured and rushed to the hospitals (average of 80 every day).

It would require police to enforce road rules on everybody ......

including Thais.

Do you really think that you're in any position to be entitled to her CCTV footage, or to think that such expectation is reasonable, never mind be in a position to "pass judgement"?   

I really think that the thai public is entitled to the CCTV footage in order to form an opinion based on the evidence of the accusation. 

What's presently played out by Authorities and eagerly lapped up by compliant MSM and social media is nothing more than an attempt to divert attention away from the real problems of the country - 10'000 baht scheme delayed and most likely being scrapped, skyhigh indebtness of people, a big part unsecured, sluggish economic growth etc.
