Transport Bangkok Cabbies Call for Grab Service Ban at Suvarnabhumi Airport
VBer replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
In a country with functional law enforcement those who try it will be in jail with car confiscated. Any discussion with protesters should be stopped after hearing such “arguments”. -
However, when it was posted, there wasn't any furious reaction from you or other forum members.

So, this message Appeared on 10 May, on the next day after parade, it was about 2024 parade. Author just waited one year to report it. Very obvious, yeah 😀

Is it the same Financial Times that posted obvious lie “This T-34, the legendary Soviet tank from World War II, was the only Russian tank on display at the Victory Day”?

According to UN, civilian deaths are 10 times smaller than militant deaths. This clearly shows that the primary target of the Russian army is the Ukrainian army, not civilians, keeping in mind that army personnel are usually more protected and better prepared.

It’s just one politician got rid from another politician, by suddenly following ICC decision. -
It turns out that Max Seddon is a fake maker, and you are happy to swallow that, together with other AN members. Can Google it in few seconds, but you prefer just bring these lies. Here is the picture from 9 May 2025 parade.

There are numerous studies proving than general happiness and life expectancy depend on personal income. That’s true, after certain level of income the dependency fades, in US its around 70k$ per year, in Russia I would say it’s 30k$ per year. But below these amounts the relation is direct. The general poorness in Russia is the reason why going to war is fully voluntary (unlike in the Ukraine, where men are being catched at street like a stray dogs). For many people 10-20k$ payment on signing contract and 2.5-3.5k$ monthly is the only way out of poor life, that’s why Russia do not have problems with drafting new soldiers without general mobilization.

I disagree that GDP by PPP represents living standards Quality of life is affected by GDP by PPP per capita, not by GDP per PPP. GDP by PPP represents the total strength of economy measured in goods sold and services provided. In this term Russia is #4 is the world, went up from #6 in last some years.

“### GDP (PPP) - **Best for**: Comparing living standards”
-
So, ChatGPT says that Russia is number 4 of in the World in terms of livings standards? 😀 I quite disagree with it. if one country produces 1 ton of aluminium with the price of $500 and another country produces 1 ton of aluminium with the price of $1000 for me these are the same economies. However if count by nominal GDP economy of second country will be measured as two times bigger.
-
I not agree wiith it. The standard of living in a country relevant to GDP (ppp) per capita as in your link. In that term you are right, the standard of living in Russia is pretty low. However GDP by PPP represents whole economy more precisely than nominal GDP
-
GDP comparisons using PPP are arguably more useful than those using nominal GDP when assessing the domestic market of a state because PPP takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates. Here the list of countries by GDP using PPP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP) Guess which country is in the top ten? 🙂
