So why do people work for these wages? No guarantee of tips to make the wage a living wage? This makes them their own worst enemy. But I guess anything else is socialism/communism....

I just used wise to tx £400. Done in seconds. I do know that some time ago transfers at weekends were problematic. Not now, it seems. I have used WU to tx money from my Kbank to my UK bank before, but it only works when I'm in Thailand. I've also used international transfers from K bank to UK bank. All roughly the same speed from my experience.

You decided it would be bad for the world. I'm part of the world, therefore you spoke for me.

Don't include me in that statement. You do not speak for me. I would rather Harris or Trump than Putin or Xi.

I don't see a problem with it either, and I'm not American. Speak softly and carry a big stick...

Well, he wants tax payer funded 'security' while in the UK, he should be pleased he has a well regulated militia around to protect him and his neighbour's unabridged right to bear arms.

Apologies, the whole quote wasn't copied... I was enquiring about how price controls could be considered to be economic illiterates, from a previous post. Only people can be described as economic illiterates, not price controls. Many countries have price controls in place, even in certain places of the US have rent controls and other similar 'price' controls and other things that could be considered socialist/communist, but the thought process behind those is 'we should look after our most vulnerable people'...free bus travel for those under or over a certain age, discounts for pensioners, health services free at the point of use...prescriptions free for the young, old or vulnerable. Some think of this as humane, some think of this as alien or socialism, but it's still targeted price control.

What are, price controls...?

All valid points.

I admit, I wasn"t aware this was a thing with medical Doctors. There are so many different models for funding pilot licenses. An acceptable ATPL is expensive to get, but then so is a degree. In various countries, tertiary education is free, in others, it needs to be paid for either up front, during or recovered later in life. 2000 unemployed Thai pilots (it doesn't seem clear to me if they are ATPL) seems indicative of lack of internationally recognised appropriately type rated license, or perhaps English language skills, making employability outside Thailand problematic. Many airlines are looking for pilots, just not in Thailand... as can be seen by the wet lease model. (This is simplification of wet lease, of course.) In regard to the medical requirements for retired pilots who instruct only in simulators, perhaps this should be looked at, but.... To instruct means keeping current.... Can an instructor be a person who no longer holds a current type rated pilot license, (medical requirements) or could there be a different requirement for ground instructors? Aircraft maintenance training schools don't require their instructors to be aircraft maintenance engineers and not all ex AMEs make competent instructors...

Isn't Social Security a form of socialism?

Is this information generally available? I couldn't see any articles where someone specifically called Trump Hitler.

I don't want him or his family back in the UK to sponge off the taxpayer after all the badmouthing that's been done. He'll want taxpayer funded security, (overrated sense of his own self importance, in my view), tax payer funded board and lodging and he'll do nothing to deserve it.

I class myself alongside that and therefore, it's 'we'... Me and OP.

And other countries, cultures and religions. Don't be just badmouthing the countryside folks.

I agree, kudos. And keep them away from 'that family' and the country and the press and everywhere else too please.

You know it's about safety but want to share a crash helmet between people with different head sizes and justify this by saying the journeys will be short and local. This is not safe. How liable will you be when someone's grieving family sues you for saying that?

I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 35 seconds  

Driving age in the US is 16, UK is 17, Japan, 17.... Just saying...

Why are Federal judges Presidential appointments? Why is it necessary that the judges' political affiliation or views get taken into account? In regards to ethics, the judiciary should not only be impartial, but should be seen to be so. Taking 'gifts' from 'friends' who may or may not have business before the court is not good optics. Recusal should be considered. There are so many ways to make these courts less controversial.

He's a geologist as well now?

Today, most Palestinians and their descendants in Jordan are naturalized, making Jordan the only Arab country to fully integrate the Palestinian refugees. So, are they refugees or Jordanian nationals?I As has been said, no other Arab country will take in Palestinian refugees as they are afraid of their own Black September, so why would any other country even consider it, let alone fall out about it internally?

Hear hear. Jordan learned that lesson the hard way.

He's not relevant, but he thinks he is. Time to fade gracefully into obscurity.

Perhaps Labour should nationalise X in the UK. Or just ban it competely. Musk is dangerous. His influence is greater than it should be. Problem is, the media pick up on what he says and broadcasts it making it national and international news. Stop doing that, deprive him of the oxygen of publicity and watch him fade away like the tired old man he is. Definitely take away his FRS. He brings the Royal Society into disrepute. And everything else he touches...
