Anyway, it is not as if China "halted" Boeing aircraft delivery without cause. The cost of the aircraft went up steeply after China added on 125 percent in import duties...haha.... But, Boeing aircraft sales had already plummeted, for other reasons, before this. These days, Boeing does not sell much to China. Boeing did a tech transfer to China, and now China will soon produce its own aircraft. This was totally predictable. Boeing is now full of idiots. And, the company is sinking, as a result. Maybe this will be a wakeup call for America?

Where do their precursors come from....anyway...?

We know that you will enjoy living in a world run by XI, and those like him. I DO hope you get what you are wishing for.

There is much, these days, that is very unpredictable. We shall wait and see what we shall see. The only thing that I will predict is that there will be...NO WINNERS. A declining power and an ascending power, when this transition happens at the same time....equals... Instability, and very possibly war, according to the rule, as it was written. We shall see.

No meds available now. All meds are made in China. Nobody can buy meds, these days.

Some in the EU, surely, must realize that they are in the same situation as the USA. Yet, the weaklings refuse to act. They will pay the price for their shortsightedness.

This may not end well. But, previous leadership has left us no other choice. We can either stop now, or go even further down this rabbit hole. We may lose either way. But, it is best to give the finger to China before we go underwater, at the very least.

I KNOW!!! This is the problem, my friend. Boeing chose to outsource production of these parts to China. THIS was part of the DEAL for an agreement to buy Boeing planes. And, China learned a heck of a lot from this deal. Or, did you not realize the details of the Boeing China business????????

If they follow your advice, they will.

Yes. We should have acted far sooner. Instead, we taught them how to build aircraft. They are very smart. And, our leaders are FOOLS. And, our Corporate Leaders are no better than prostitutes.

Happy landings. Anyway, you seem to have misunderstood my analogy. Again....Happy Landings!!!!

This will ground many aircraft since parts are needed for maintenance. Also, we need both Boeing and Airbus to stop shipping EVERYTHING to China.

You are the one who arguing against jumping. Not I.

I already linked the Southpark video in an earlier comment.

Entirely correct. These penniless ragamuffins who love to sleep together in hostels, without AC, are less able to appreciate the culture than those who have money and a PhD. I actually know a couple, and they get paid well at their universities in their home country. If you want to know the culture, you cannot just travel through a place. You need to live there. You need to learn the language. Language is a major part of culture. These PackRats are confusing getting to know the culture with superficial sightseeing. And, they gum up the works, wherever they go. I really do not like them. They should get a job, and then come to Thailand, and spend their money, so that they can contribute more to the economy. I was never a backpacker when I was young. And, Lonely Planet was a dumb book. When I was young, I chose a destination of interest. I traveled there. I rented a house. I learned the language. You can do that when you have the time, and when you are young. Hate all nomads, basically, is what I am saying...

If one's house is on fire, and no other way out, then one must jump out the window. However, others in the room might choose to lie on the floor and burn to death. Does this clarify things for you? We will never get Europe to cooperate and do what is good for them. They are FOOLS.

For some reason, in the past, I was able to upload PDF copies to TV, which I did. However, now, it seems this is no longer possible. You can check the file types permitted, and you will see that it allows images images and videos, but no PDFs. So...as I say.... I would still be happy to upload to my TV the books I mentioned, some time ago. But, the site has changed the formats that can be uploaded. And, this is no longer possible. Not sure why. But, there must be a good reason.

I have heard of Spotify. Never have I used Spotify, and I have no idea what it is. However, all the JS Bach music I have, and I have about half a terabyte, is completely pirated. Many good recordings. I tried to upload to Google Drive, but it took ages, and so I quit. The Complete Edition I mentioned, is probably this one, but I have two different versions. Both are fairly similar. Not worth the price. But, its a good value if you can get it for free.

Are you talking the BOXED SET? which is made up of about 50 GBytes of music? Or, are you talking the tens of thousands of different recordings of JS Bach. Because, there is a big difference. For example, I have two versions of the 50 GByte JS Bach music, which is every piece he ever composed. However, this is still a very small fraction of the thousands of recordings of JS Bach by thousands of artists, conductors, pianists, etc.

Just because others are unwilling to jump out the window, does not mean that one cannot jump alone.

Would yours be considered an absolutist statement, do you think? Never say never. Only God is infinite.

Not just a matter of pay. It's a matter of excellence. For example: HKU requires at TOEFL score of at least 580 to even be considered for a degree program. But, this must be the minimum, since HKU is a very competitive and selective university. I would say that if one were to teach in Thailand, then this might require a higher level of intelligence. If I were planning to teach English in Thailand to ESL students, then I would want to, first, do some research with.... Averil COXhead. She is one of the most wellknown researchers in her field. One does not gain the required skills to teach ESL...just by completing a BA or an MA. One must be smart.

I need to get off this jag, soon....maybe....

HELLO.... Please choose a different field of work. Students here do NOT need teachers who were not dedicated enough to academics to get their degree...EVEN BEFORE they thought of teaching in Thailand. Why do you think you might be qualified to teach ESL? Are you prepared to teach for a pittance? How many languages do you speak? Do you know, first hand, the challenges and the strategies of learning an L2, L3, for example? Just asking.....

I would say, the better choice might be this one: University of Hong Kong is TOPS....in the area. But, you gotta be....SMART to get in....for sure.... I just thank the Lord that I never had to study ESL here in Thailand, taught be the Farang that come and go....for SURE!!!
