I think your accountant is correct and the cost seems reasonable. I believe there is a bit of paperwork and a waiting period before the company can be legally wound up and formally closed. I also think that the books must be available for inspection for a period of time even after the company is closed. The accountant should be available during this time to explain the books if the Revenue Department comes for an audit, so the fee should also include this service.

Well, I guess that settles it then!

Those aren't my words. I'm not digbeth.

No, Thailand and Australia are under two completely different suns. Australia has the south-of-the-equator sun and Thailand has the north-of-the-equator sun. The two suns have different functions. The sun that sits above Thailand during the day sucks up UV radiation from the earth below, passes it over to the sun over Australia, which then emits the UV rays down onto Australia.

I am trying to explain that coverage under the basic Por Ror Bor scheme would not be invalidated if the driver were drunk or did not have a valid license. Voluntary insurance would, but not the basic Por Ror Bor. I listed the exclusions of the Por Ror Bor policy to show that there is no exclusion for driving under the influence or not having a driver's license.

The basic Por Ror Bor policy does not contain an exclusion for driving under the influence and the basic limits should apply even if the driver were under the influence. The higher limits applicable when the driver is not at fault would presumably not apply. The whole point of this cover is to compensate the victims, not protect the driver or owner. Here is an English translation of the Por Ror Bor's exclusions section: 18. Exclusions This policy does not cover liability caused by: 18.1 War, invasion, acts of foreign enemy, hostilities or war-like operations (whether war is declared or not). 18.2 Civil war, military uprising, rebellion, revolution, mutiny, or usurpation of power by military or by other means, civil commotion assuming the proportions of or amounting to a popular uprising. 18.3 Nuclear weapons material. 18.4 Ionizing radiation or contamination by radioactivity from any nuclear fuel or from any nuclear waste from the combustion of nuclear fuel and for the purpose of this exception, combustion shall include any self-sustaining process of nuclear fission. 18.5 The motor vehicle is embezzlement, cheated and fraud, extorted, stolen, blackmailed, threatened, robbery, or gang robbed. 18.6 Use of the Motor Vehicle outside the territorial limits of the Policy. 18.7 Use of the Motor Vehicle for an illegal purpose, e.g. robbery or carrying of drugs regardless of whether or not the Motor Vehicle has been modified or used to escape from a criminal offense or escape from the search or arrest of the officers etc. 18.8 Use of the Motor Vehicle for racing. No mention of driving under the influence. Note that any voluntary coverages may be voided by driving under the influence as that coverage would be governed by its own set of exclusions.

The mandatory Por Ror Bor coverage is a no-fault scheme that provides a limited amount of medical expense coverage for people who are injured in a vehicle accident. It also provides a death benefit and a disability benefit. It is basically a personal accident policy that follows the car with limited benefits accruing anyone injured in an accident. Por Ror Bor does not provide any coverage for damage to the insured vehicle. It also does not provide any third party liability coverage for either bodily injury or property damage. While it is compulsory, it is not the same as the third party liability insurance coverage required in Western countries. Por Ror Bor was designed to absorb the high volume but low severity expenses that the medical industry was incurring from people without the means to pay and was implemented at the request of the medical industry. It wasn't designed to address the risk transfer needs of the driver or vehicle owner. I would certainly recommend against relying solely upon the Por Ror Bor coverage.

The new arrivals, for the most part, will probably be absorbed into existing immigrant communities around the country and will soon be doing jobs that native Americans either can't or won't do. I doubt that many will end up being long-term homeless on the streets of New York or other cities. The ordeal of getting into the US through the Darien Gap and/or a trek through Mexico has already served as a filter to deter the unmotivated or unable. If we want to be indignant about the use of taxpayer money, I think a better case could be made to curtail agricultural subsidies and price supports that simply go into the coffers of Big Ag. Likewise uneconomical ethanol production for use in motor vehicles that couldn't exist without government mandates. These welfare schemes for large corporations and millionaire farmers make the amounts spent on housing immigrants look like chump change. The immigration issue is really small potatoes, but it is useful to Republicans to get xenophobes riled up. The fact is, without immigration the US faces a severe labor shortage going forward. The only way to address this shortage is to accept people from countries that produce economic migrants. That rules out places like Norway, despite Trump's wishes.

It was clearly edited and it matters what was deleted and what the context of her testimony was. She spent some time complaining about not being able to communicate. Was this in reference to the lack of French language instruction in Springfield’s schools? Was she complaining about laws that allow three-day notice of eviction? Laws formulated by a Republican-controlled statehouse? Probably not, but we don’t know because of selective editing and lack of context. What else may be missing from her testimony?

Ohio law seems to be fairly landlord-friendly and there are situations in which a three-day notice of eviction is allowed, but eviction by the landlord simply because a Haitian immigrant wants to rent the premises isn't one of them. A quick Look at Ohio landlord-tenant laws seems to suggest that non-payment of rent and/or illegal activity at the premises tend to be the most common causes of eviction during the term of a lease. She cites wage cuts and job offshoring as causing her financial difficulties. This is probably the real reason for her predicament, not the nationality or immigration status of the landlord's new tenants.

Here's a an article that discusses the housing issue in the US: https://www.bankrate.com/real-estate/low-inventory-housing-shortage/ This paints a picture of a supply failure. It doesn't mention unforeseen or unusual increase in demand due to immigration. Immigrants have always been part of the demand for housing. The demand side isn't something new. The cause of the shortage lies on the supply side.

Once the National Guard becomes federalized, it comes under the Posse Comitatus Act and can't be used for domestic law enforcement.

It used to be possible for foreigners with PR to legally purchase and own firearms in Thailand. The law was changed a few years ago to restrict gun ownership to Thai nationals. I don't know whether foreigners with existing permits were grandfathered.

"Elderly man found decomposed by a stream..." The stream had nothing to do with it. The karaoke girl caused him to lose his composure.

Death penalty? Nothing to worry about. We all know that foreign sentences don't count in Thailand.

Joe Rogan promoted the hoax that schools were providing litter boxes for students who identify as cats. This put him in the company of MTG, Lauren Boebert and other completely unhinged Republicans. Amazing that millions would follow this nut job.

October First this year is "offerings to ancestors day" in Khmer culture. Called Pchum Ben in standard Khmer and Hau Doan Ta in at least some versions of northern Khmer dialect. I'm not aware of any public ceremonies.

The shooter's defense will be: "I wasn't going after Trump. If I were going after Trump, or any Republican for that matter, I would have carried an elephant gun."

I received a letter while in grad school inviting me to seek an interview with the CIA. I did not pursue it.

If you spend any amount of time in Kantharalak town in Sisaket Province, you'll hear the northern Khmer dialect spoken.
