That should motivate all of them to leave ASAP. I would change my home address tomorrow, and no longer be a resident of CA. Along with moving any and all businesses out of state. I was a small fry financially, and I left the USA because of taxes. That 5% would be more than my life time earnings. Nothing to a billionaire, but do they really think it will be a one time thing. No such thing as a temporary tax in the USA. It seems socialism in CA just isn't working, and they ran out of other people's money already. Just taking more and more If money in tech & entertainment, then pretty easy to relocate ... $1 B X 5% = $50M X 199 = $9.95 B Wee bit shy from $30 B

Now my current vid drones are MJX Bugs 16 & ZZL SG906 PRO 2. Both good, but both about 5 yrs old. Bought when contracted the house build, as wanting to vid and photo the progress of that. Also good to check the Solar system and chase pigeons if they were hanging around. MJX handles the wind better, and the ZZL has a better Sony camera sensor. Neither had obstacle avoidance. I'm a Sony fan, as my 'land' cameras & lens for wildlife are Sony. They both good enough for photos, with a bit of editing software, to tweak them. They do not come with that, as I already had. I think DJI has software programs, and really made for vids also. My 2 el' cheapos (฿7900 & ฿5100) are not, though I'm not a big vid fan anyway. Probably because I suck at it, and don't have the patience to edit them. I stop too often to take photos. DJI is a clear winner, with extra batteries, better results and safer to fly. Edit software & always get extra batteries. Not sure what their no fly zone software restricts or how to override it. As I lived, live near airports, Udon Thani airport w/ Wing 23, and now RTAF Wing 5, and less than 5 kms from house, so DJI was a non starter for me. On vids, you'll see promos for 2.5k, 4k, 6k 8k, and unless you got the software and computer power for such huge files, they're useless. I think my one MI drone was 4 or 2.5k, and converted to 1080p, which was more than enough. Most view on small devices anyway. I view on 55" TV, as computer monitor, and 1080p is fine. Unless doing professional work. You really do want a 3 axis gimbal, mandatory for vids, better for photos. Here's example of 3 axis, and I put a non gimbal camera on top of drone ... I don't follow what's new and available any more. Still have too many I don't even use. Capt Drone on YT was pretty good for reviews, and why I bought both my current vid drones. Already a MJX fan, having 4 prior to present one. ZLL was new to me, and quite nice, for my purposes. Just take photos ...

Good thing to, as we ran out of oil in the 70's

I got into them pretty good, building my own and all. Now they're better & cheaper than you can build them. I'm running out of batteries for the toys, and really too windy where we live anyway. Still have 2 vid drones, but rarely use. TH law really restricts their use, even if registered & insured legally. Law really does restrict where you can operate legally. Really useless in most tourist areas. Too many people (foreigners) to complain, and no operating in Nat. Parks. It's a nice perspective for photos, new, high angle & such but unless really into photography, you'd get bored fast. We stay in hotels now, usually over looking valleys or stream, so really don't need a drone, as already a great view.

Yes & no, as people, noobs still crash them. Even I crashed my first GPS drone, first day, first flight I did, total ignorance and ignoring all common sense. Actually turned out to be a good thing, as it cracked the GPS module, and forced me to learn without GPS. Didn't avoid me from crashing other drones in the future, but definitely made operated drones a lot more fun. Total confidence instead of anxiety attack. Actually, anyone really good at video games, shouldn't have too much problems learning to operate a drone. A lot of it is hand / eye coordinating with the remote and watching the drone, of while in FPV, vis phone & camera. Though operating FPV is banned in TH, and must operate LOS (Line of Sight) Obstacle avoidance doesn't avoid everything. A few things it can't see, thin, wires, and it's not 360° protection. Like if going up. Should learn to operate anyway, without GPS. Return to home is fine, if still having control. If lost signal & it returns to home, better hope settings are correct. If set at 30m altitude, and there's a 35 meter tree or building in the way, it will crash with the battery runs out. Some fancier ones will find away around an obstacle, though not sure if DJI has that programming or what price needed to pay for it.

What do you think you need, and is there a budget limit ? Where are you located ? South of TH ? If TH, then legally, with a camera drone, you'll need to register & have insurance. DJI if not worried about restricted flight areas. Save the comments people, you can, and I have, operated in restricted air space, responsibly. You can get decent quality for <10k THB to 15k. Or go DJI for best quality, starts ~15k THB & up. No matter what you buy, get the maximum extra batteries you can when buying, and baby them. In TH, you need a powerful drone and it must have good GPS, due to high winds here. First drone, buy something inexpensive, teach yourself how to operate, without GPS first, in an open field for a week, on non windy days. If that works for you, then buy something with power and a decent 3 axis camera. It can even be a cheap toy drone, w/ brushless motors, as the operate on the same principle. No sense wasting money to teach yourself. Get pass teaching yourself, then chime back in. I can be something as silly as this, that fits in your hand and cost less than 1000 baht. Seriously, if you can't operate this toy, no need to spend 10-20-30k baht more for something you'll crash.

Seriously ... he's explained enough, and I've repeated it enough. We, I can repeat it 100 times, but apparently, you can't understand it, and nothing I can say now, is going to change that. Good Luck The hate exhibited on AN, seems to blind any common sense thinking. Anything else I say will be reported as offensive, and yet another post of mine will be deleted.

Few anywhere, with exceptions, are subject to the constraints of poverty. I didn't have to work for minimum wage in the USA. I didn't have to be an employee all the time in the USA. Most people live in poverty, because they choose to. I don't know anyone, that failed at bettering their position in life, USA or TH, that tried to. It takes time and hard work, unless lucky, and sadly, many don't want to put in that time and work. Oh well, that's on them, and the life they chose.

No, they offer it at the market price, not because they are desperate. Because that's the price. And many still making a tidy profit. Or they wouldn't be doing it for decades. Sis has a restaurant, stall at night market, offering food at market price, not because desperate, but it's the market price. She put 2 kids through Uni, bought new cars, MBs, and 3 houses over the years, that I knew of, since knowing her. You be surprised what many of the vendors earn a month. Long hours, but they want more, so work more. Daughter makes more money (monthly) than I do now, only 3 yrs out of Uni, and partner makes the same.

Well you can't get anymore apples & oranges than that. So I should be paying the laborers at the house 3500 baht on hour, as that's the minimum I got for cleaning, servicing a chimney. Or I should go down to the land office, and give them 130k baht for RE Tax, instead of 5 baht every year, for the house. Maybe give MG 1.3M baht for our BEV instead of 949k, when we bought it. Paid the Solar installer 1.5M baht for our system instead of 450k baht. Pay the contractor 10m bath for the house, instead of 1.2M I don't think the Thai masseuse has the same overhead here in TH, as he/she would have in the USA.

I don't exploit anyone, it's supply & demand, a very 'free market' here in TH. They offer, I buy, and can't even remember the last time I haggled for anything. That would be exploiting if already the market price. And we pay above minimum wage for unskilled laborer at the house. Have to, or they won't come to work. That supply & demand thingy again.

No, you still don't get it. It will never change if you keep doing the same things, buying imports. You have to start somewhere, and this is the start. All you folks that supposedly cared, let all the US manufacturing and production get outsourced. Now you can change that, or keep things the same. But stop complaining about what YOU did. Buy USA, or as much as possible, or STFU and continue to be the problem. The reality is, YOU created, YOU have to fix it. Trump has the plan that will work, if you help him. Big IF, as y'all don't care. I never cared, just adapted & adjusted. Lithographic publishing got taken over by computer publishing, so I went to steel mill, and imports killed that, so went to 'services', bakery & truck driving, while developing own businesses, after and while working for 4 airlines, 3 in bankruptcy. Stop crying and just do. Instead of complaining, about what you allowed. It's not rocket science. When available, I bought ... VW Datsun (1979) Nissan Mazda Honda Now I buy Chinese and Thai everything, because they do everything better. If you care about USA, buy USA, and maybe in a decade or 2, they might actually produce something worth buying ...

Imagine that, people actually working to support their families. A whole new concept may be coming to the woke left. EARN IT You mean, I have to pay back the loans I signed, and get a job ... Mommy

Nobody forcing anyone to buy 'Trump' products. Just find it strange, those complaining about the tariffs and inflation, are part of the problem by not buying USA. And have been their whole life probably. DISCLAIMER: When living in USA, I bought the best product for the best price, and where that came from, I just didn't and don't care. Getting the most bang for my buck. Some USA made, some, most, not. But I wasn't complaining either as the hypocrites do. Also a big fan of "USA ... Love it or Leave it" ... After 25 yrs of being ignorant & tolerant, though work out great, I searched and found greener (less taxed & regulated, freer) pastures. Same applies to where I live, how I live, whether USA or TH. Work / live smarter, not harder, and paid myself better than any employer. People have choices, choose wisely. Or ... STFU Stop complaining about the problem 'your choices', are contributing to. I find most people are their own problem, or why they are happy and don't complain.

A judge can and should apply the law in criminal & civil case on his/her docket. Has nothing to do with officiating a wedding against his/her beliefs. If defendants don't agree or think judge was prejudicial, that's what appeal courts are for.

They should contract the folks that got rid of all the evidence of the world trade buildings 1 & 2, as think that just took a couple days, if that New Israeli settlements can be up in no time at all, before the annex 'West Gaza' Expansive Zionist Rock

Yea, continue breaking neighboring countries' immigration laws, to avoid TH;s immigration laws. Unless he's out and about, and in tourist areas late at night partying, I don't think he has much to worry about. Been here 25 yrs, and been asked once to see my passport, and that was along the Myanmar border by the military.

And here I thought all the Yanks were poor, hungry, living in the streets & unhappy, lining the streets in protest. You mean MSM is lying to us. Say it's not so

Mind boggling, BEV cheaper & so much better than our first 3 ICEV, and over 20 yrs ago. 2 Vois (600k) & 1 Mazda (550k). Great time to be a new car buyer, options abound. If the rest will just hop on the life time battery warranty bandwagon, sales would sky rocket. MG, GAC, now need BYD & Geely to join in. Competition is a beautiful thing, and just a matter of time.

Sensing a lot of envy in the replies ... such positivity Good for them, wish I was that smart when younger. Self employed online, work smarter, not harder. Would be interesting, their opinion after smog season, but online work, can move anywhere.
