    I look forward to seeing Newsom in handcuffs, or better yet, in front of a firing squad.

    We are running 124.3% Debt-to-GDP, we have to stop spending, no matter who the President is, or what party is in office. We should think about passing a law that congress and the President cannot spend one dime until that Debt-to-GDP is under 60%, and to make a law that it cannot exceed that percentage. In fact, if it exceeds that amount for any reason, then the annual budget will need to decrease to compensate.

    Could be worse, in the USA we pay exorbitant amounts of property taxes on our homes, so basically we rent our property from the government under threat of them seizing it if you don't. Which is why I told my wife she should think very carefully before voting for any government here that encourages property taxes.

    I don't think we have ever eaten out for much less than 1000 baht, usually somewhere between 1200-1800 for the 3 of us. Still a whole lot cheaper than my last trip home to the USA.....LOL

    Thank god for dashcams, well worth the investment (front and back cameras), I wouldn't even drive in Thailand without them installed.

    I stick with the Dim Sum menu, wife goes with the boiled routine in this article, so we all order differently 😉

    My daughter is addicted to that place, she has to have the duck and green noodles, or she won't survive. However, she has found a new favorite of Seabass and Truffle Pasta at a new hangout of ours.

    Since banks are turning down loans, this means people (especially the poor) are more than likely going with loans from loansharks. So, you can bet the debt is worst than even these numbers show.

    2000 baht would barely cover the interest per month.

    Are there statistics on how many have made it into the UK from Thailand with a massive amount of marijuana without being caught? Because I can't see the risk-reward benefit to this endeavor.

    You're forgetting about the share of the brown envelopes she will more than likely get, it pays to be a government (local/national) employee.

    Just a simple reminder to Thai drivers, drive for what you can see, meaning if you can't safely stop within the distance of your sightline, then slow down. There is absolutely zero reason for running into the back of a large stationary vehicle. They also need to learn to adjust that safe driving distance based on their speed. Proper drivers training would help, but I doubt there is a Thai alive that is qualified.

    Sounds like a Family Friendly destination to me, they even include activities for teens 🤪

    Just martial Law in California, and hopefully build some reeducation camps for the Progressive Liberals. We'll take all their money to pay back the damages, and put those who can't pay on chain gangs working to pay off their debt to society. Win-Win for everyone!

    It's called Progressive Liberal Utopia (aka California), let the locals reap what they sow.

    Since my wife works, and gets paid fairly well, any income I send over (which is applied to our tax return) starts immediately in the 25% bracket, and would quickly hit the 30% bracket.

    After they are all done clearing the criminals from the streets, make sure California Taxpayers have to pay the full bill for all damages, federal costs for National Guard use, lawsuits, etc.

    Only one question, does he have a record back in France or locally for pedophilia? If so, dig a hole, and bury him in it!

    With any luck they will burn California to the ground, someone make sure Newsom doesn't try to run. In fact, we should send the national guard to the borders of California and make sure nobody escapes the inferno.

    I'm still wondering who on the Cambodia side gave the order to march 150 meters forward and dig a trench? Was this the order of someone higher up, or is this some overzealous low ranking officer who is now cleaning toilets?

    I did my part last night with the family in tow, coming back from dinner, 7 motorcycles travelling in the far left lane against traffic, this was within a 500 meter distance of my left turn to go home. I sat on the horn while each of them freaked out and tried to climb the curb to avoid me mowing them down.

    This should help you understand the pricing of full package deals. https://en.defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/saab_eyes_breakthrough_year_for_gripen_sales_targets_thailand_after_colombia_deal-14337.html
  23. lordgrinz
    I think you are confusing price per plane vs full package deal. There is also support, training, and offsets involved in the final cost.

    Maybe French colonizers shouldn't have decided where the borders were in Cambodia without checking with it's neighbors first. Now the ICJ owned by the colonizers is siding with what France decided the borders were/are, nice. This is what happens when nations try and colonize countries and decide what the rules and laws are, then leave a mess in their wake when they leave, or are pushed out.

    Just declare war, winner takes all, why go through this nonsense every few years?
