Jesus!

 

It's like the whole Chinese Virus is Trump's fault? 

. Some people need to get a grip on reality... 

The virus is not his fault. The extent to which it has spread, and the gross, partisan mismanagement of it is, to a large extent. So much could have been done, so much earlier. His level of incompetence as a leader is frightening.

He is done. Toast. He was knocked out by Covid, one minute into the first round.

Well it does say this;

 

I think these are additional groups, not replacements of existing allowed returnees. 

Does anyone know anything about this? And will the husbands be subject to quarantine, if they have a covid test result? How about if the Thai wife is traveling with them?

After all the destruction, hatred, havoc, bad policy, and ill will this man has sown, it is sure fun to watch him self destruct. 

He is literally cascading toward the greatest humiliation of his lifetime, and a life of utter scorn and obscurity. 

See ya Don! Pack your bags. Or better yet, resign now, or quit the campaign. That money could be put to better use. You have disgraced yourself and your nation. 

Be very afraid Prayuth. The youth will no doubt be your undoing. Your army is despised by most. And so are you. The youth are the only hope this nation has of progressing, and moving forward.

That is precisely why you are living in a constant state of fear of them! 

That means zero medical tourism. And how do they check those attending a conference? Rapid testing? Or no testing? Only from bubble nations? Does anyone in the administration have any answers?

I guess the husbands of Thai wives category was quickly abandoned? Nice. Compassionate. Of course we all know we are far less important to the nation than an attendee of a conference. 

Immigration is a franchise, just like the police and customs. Most do this. Someone was humiliated, as this went viral. That is all this is. Notice they were not fired. They were not arrested and charged with a crime. Like the police, they are totally immune to the law. Above any and all laws. Prayuth and the army insure that. A transfer with full salary is about as far as they are willing to go. Everything is done to protect these guys. 

We all know where this "so called investigation" is going to go. 

The one aspect of these declarations about "tourism can wait, travel can wait, the bubble can wait, we don't need tourism right now", is that they are almost always spoken by men who are collecting a full salary, many benefits, and are more than likely quite wealthy to begin with.

You rarely ever hear somebody who is a person a of modest means talking about this kind of thing. I'm not necessarily advocating opening up the country right now, but I do think tourism could be extended to those from safe nations, to those who are willing to get tested, and I do think that there are quick test kits that could be administered at the airport at the expense of the tourists. While the tourists waits for the results in a comfortable lounge.

There are workarounds. And there are millions of jobs at stake. Jobs held by real people. Not statistics. This is a fairly complex issue, but as usual, I do not think the top minds are addressing it! 

Talk about wasted cash. He would be better off resigning and donating that cash to a worthy cause. He is cascading towards a humiliation of epic proportions. And alot of that is his own doing. 

Right now, Trump is Biden's top ally. 

What can one say? Hoping against hope. World class? Lower luxury taxes if you want to attract the rich tourists you keep on talking about. They love to shop, and will not pay stupid prices.

Make some sacrifices. Show us you guys are serious, about something other than constant pontification.

Saying it is so, does not make it so. Harboring issusions does not change reality one iota.

I think as we get older we get more realistic about human kind and the 'human condition' and much less idealistic. We are a lot less influenced by others, by the media, by news generally, by advertising, so we are more cynical, as we start to see the world, and people,  as they really are and not as we would wish them to be, or expect them to be in our later years. I rather like this new (grumpy) self as I have got older, because I know for a fact that I cannot be taken advantage of, or hoodwinked as easily as in my youth. So if people don't like the new me, the older me, well then they can just <deleted> off  and leave me alone, I will not be offended.   

You make some good points. I do not suffer fools, like I used to. And I am far less tolerant of nonsense, than I used to be. And I truly care not one iota what strangers think of me. 

Four of my favorite quotes about aging. 

Older people are perceived as cynics and misanthropes. But, they are simply people who have at last heard the still, sad music of humanity, played by a mediocre rock band howling for fame. 

There is a battle inside of every man. Two wolves that exist inside each of us. One is evil and anger. The other is righteousness and hope. You know which one wins? The one you feed. 

This is what you see when you are young. Everything seems very close. That is the future. And that is what you see when you are old. Everything seems really far away. That's the past. 

What I am the most afraid of, is because the last thing in the world I want to do is tweet or update my Facebook status, the soul of youth will vomit me into the cesspool of the old and the worthless.
 

A great development. Been saying this for a long time now. It is the activist youth, that are going to raise up this nation, from the current morass, and moral and ethical bankruptcy of the spectacularly toxic Thai army. 

The army will continue to do everything in it's power to suppress democracy and the will of the people. They are despised as never before, so they cannot afford to allow the people to speak. 

I believe the youth will oust them sooner, rather than later. The army are a hugely regressive force, and they are moving Thailand backwards, on countless levels.

One of many who relate just what this man is made of. He is a sub standard human being on countless levels. Only a few more months now. Can't wait for his departure.
