Bodes poorly for the future as the US must compete in a global economy.
Same in France where wokism is wreaking havoc in schools and universities. Schools are becoming “factories of cretins” to use the title of a book by a French journalist about the appalling state of education in that (my) country.

Use BOLT taxi service, app is super easy to use, a little cheaper than GRAB.
Bolt has options of car with full taxi branding, motorcycle or 'econo' car, meaning basic car in good condition and very clean, no taxi branding. I use 'Econo' car, about 10 to 15 Baht cheaper than branded taxi.
One item: BOLT curently only accept cash, soon to be changed to have QR code etc. Drivers always have change.
Can add extra details of location of pick up in English, their app automatically/immediately changes your message to Thai for the driver.
App shows where the car is all the time.
BOLT driver's courteous and focused.
Agreed. I have used them several times. Excellent service. Bolt is also present in Paris: cheaper than Uber.

Those UNelected old farts are afraid to lose their perks, including getting a salary for doing nothing.

Actually I fully support DeSantis and his book ban. If you listen to some of the parents of kids reading from them they are clearly obscene materials.
That said , I really have never under stood exactly why ALL books are not age rated - if movies are, then books should be too. Some of the fiction books I have read have been extremely graphic, yet a 6 year old can just walk in a shop and buy it
Yes, let’s have a public auto-da-fé with banned books in America. Also, let’s create an inquisition to torture teachers who dare teach as they see fit. Let’s go back to obscurantism! Hurrah for mind control! We need a Big Brother! May Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 become reality!

That's why my wife pushed me to buy a new car, not second hand. Even if it's a newer used car, they'll often swap out many of the parts with cheap knockoffs.
Sound advice!

No, the report clearly says "Initial reports from the injured suggested that the van went out of control", so it was the van, not the driver. ????
1 hour ago, ikke1959 said:Solve these problems with banning travelling at night in minivans... drivers are often tired or sleepy as driving in the dark is more difficult...And when will they get a decent rest???
Indeed, these vans are very dangerous: they seem to be irresistibly attracted to power poles, trees, road signs, to slippery roads and sharp road turns. What can the poor drivers do?

As long as such narratives are still used, the tragedies will keep on happening.
No such thing as a bad dog, then one would have to explain why, for example, Pit Bulls could not be used by police, who consider them too dangerous and uncontrollable to be of any use.
And this appears to suggest that poodles and Pit Bulls, well, they are all dogs, same family of animals.
As if a poodle raised by a bad owner would start killing the neighbors and owners as well.
What is the point of having such a dangerous dog at home? Impressing people? Snobbery? Sheer stupidity? Aren’t there enough other kinds of dogs on the market that make wonderful and safe companions? Sorry for the guy who lost his life: one more victim to such a dog. People who choose a pit bull as a companion are crazy.

When is the government going to wake up and regulate this business?
Indeed, never. And the carnage will continue costing this nation an inordinate amount of money. There is no will to change anything : too much trouble. Let the people die on the roads, we have more important things to do, like getting bribes, putting demonstrators in jail, preparing the next coup.

He needs to convert to Catholicism if he wants to get away with this type of behaviour.
Other religions are no better: such abuses do happen in madrasas, ashrams, yeshivas etc, and sometimes make it to the front pages of newspapers just like in the numerous sects where devotees are used as sexual slaves.

When are the authorities going to take proper action against the constant reports of police & army drunk in charge and causing serious bodily harm! These are the very people that are supposed to be law abiding and lead by example but its so often not the case!!

This was only a family of poor people... So no need for the big guns to get involved with announcements of a nationwide ‘crack-down’....
(before I’m flamed yes, that was sarcasm btw)
... Seriously though... every day it becomes more apparent that those in positions of decision making power really do not care enough to impact any change whatsoever.
We see a lick of paint on the odd pedestrian crossing, a periodic spat of alcohol check-points (agree 100% with the comments posted by ‘bert got kinky’).
- We do not see any efforts to educate people on road safety (or any safety for that matter).
- We do not see any increase in 'on the road policing' of driving standards.
- We do not see any severe penalties for those who break laws.
- We do not see any proactiveness whatsoever.
- We do see only a reaction whenever there are tragic but fully preventable consequences.
- We do see the laziest possible manner of policing with automatic camera fines’ (which ppl don’t pay).
- We do see the laziest possible manner of policing with intermittent check points.
- We do see those who break laws frequently getting away with it with bribes.
- We do see that money can wash away the consequences of breaking laws.
- We do see those in authority (police) breaking the very same laws they are supposed to uphold.
TIT for ever.

Those drivers are not trained enough and some of them are “micro” sleepers, to boot. There is a point to be made here and good reasons to rail against them.

And almost right on que....the top cop is transferred!
We all know the investigation into this gambling den is just the usual pantomime from the RTP. They have known and benefitted for a long time!
Indeed, what took them so long? 4 months? Who are they kidding? And what happens to the bribe money? Will those I’ll-gotten gains ever be retrieved from the culprits somehow? What a charade!

Agreed! But first let them have a taste of a Thai prison. A hefty fine is in order as well as confiscating car. After their jail term they should be deported and declared personae non gratae.

General Prawit may emerge next week to clinch Prime Minister’s job due to a polarised parliament
in Thailand News
Posted
But it does not appear, it is. Prayuth knew what he was doing when he gave UNelected senators the power to be king makers. That’s how people’s vote was hijacked by a bunch of parasites whose only raison d’être is to make sure Thailand remains stuck in the past.
