  1. This time of year sugar cane is harvested in LOS, burning allows efficient sugarcane harvesting. This is a big issue around the world where sugar cane is grown commercially, including the U.S. in places like Hawaii, Florida and Louisiana. Thailand is a major exporter so it can be particularly concentrated and hazardous here and SEA in general. Unfortunately burning remains the most efficient way of getting rid of the unneeded parts (the leafy trash) of the sugar cane stalk before harvesting. What I've personally been explained is that workers are paid around 400 baht per 100M row to cut burned sugar cane. They are paid 700 baht per 100M row to cut unburned sugar cane which requires removing the "trash" manually. Much more costly and the trash still needs to dealt with after. Hand harvesting allows the remaining cane stub to re-grow and harvested again up to three seasons before it requires replanting. Mechanical harvesting is very costly and crushes the stubs, still requiring the remaining "leafy trash" to be dealt with, usually by means of burning! I believe the politicians are making the statements are just words not a real solution. IMHO the answer needs to be technology which will require first we pay a much higher price for sugar.
  2. The illegal immigration debate has been pretty much resolved and the polls reflect that the currrent administration failed miserably. So excuses at this point are moot. Don't worry it will be fixed again soon.
  3. Oh my, more name calling, panic must be in the air. Check out polymarket today.
  4. A link was requested.. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/10/26/fncs_pete_hegseth_democrats_have_called_every_republican_since_1964_fascist_hitler.html
  5. I saw this came up, so.... Fascisti, Hitler.... it's a badge of honor to be labeled this by the the Democrat left Media. This list includes Ronald Reagan who won in a historical landslide, 49 of the 50 states in his re-election (1984). This is standard affair in Democrat politics. It usually means they are losing.... So relax a bit about who's a fascist, and try doing your own research. <Peace>
  6. Suppose Biden were to withdrawal from the race. Most states are well passed their filing deadline to be on the ballot. So your left with Kamala or a write in candidate? Good luck with that...
  7. So it seems the biggest liars turned out to be the Biden inner circle and mainstream media who have been covering for him for the last few years. The truth is he has the mental acuity of scrambled eggs. The debate was a complete disaster. America's enemies are laughing and her friends should be very worried.
  8. I think it should be fine to do as long as other countries have reciprocal dual pricing for Thai visitors.
