So the 31% who said no have the money to pay for their own medical bills if necessary? Or they just have zero responsibility? If you don't like Thailand's safety record, stay away. If you decide to visit Thailand, make sure you have health insurance. Simple as that. 

Things are looking good for HD..... Thin skinned Orange Man has taken destroying his own country to the next level.

Trump backs Harley-Davidson boycott in tariff row

I urge everybody who doesn't understand why they are protesting to watch this:

Of course it's a great idea! The only reason why the plan is criticized is that it's supported by Trump. 

Why is it a great idea? Orange Man doesn't really have a reputation of making peace anywhere in the world. It is basically him against the world at his moment.

Could this be due to my reluctance to ever enter a 7-11 if there is an alternative? No, probably not. But wouldn't it be nice if the mega-wealth of this family was shared just a little bit more equally with the poor kids that work for them. 

Good point but Thailand still has a class system so no need in the eyes of the elite (and the underprivileged). Very sad.

You beat me to this by a couple of minutes.

I can see no reason to wonder about this, it's bloody obvious.

On the 7 Eleven website, nearly two years ago under their alleged Corporate Social Responsibility section CP said how they were starting to ask customers who made a single item purchase if they wanted a bag. Can anyone say they have been asked that in a 7 Eleven anywhere? No, me neither.

 

Cheap, radial plan: Stop giving away plastic bags free.

Try selling cloth bags at cost price - it will work out in the long run. Even if it has the 7 Eleven logo on it. I can dream - it might even start a cloth bag sponsorship war between retail brands!

 

They never ask me if i want a plastic bag. Instead,  9 out of 10 times I have to argue with them that I don't need so many plastic bags. lately I hardly accept any bags because it makes me very sad to see what a garbage dump this country is becoming. I always try to explain to them that plastic is very bad for their beloved country. Then they give me this look as if they want to say: you don't want a free bag?? I am sure that none of their staff have been made aware that they have to reduce plastic waste. The vast majority of the public don't see or feel the need to reduce plastic waste. This issue can only be dealt with at goevenment level. But don't count on that. 

What is CP doing to reduce plastic waste? Correct, nothing! You buy 5 things at 7/11 and they give you 3 plastic bags. The rich are getting richer and move their money out of the country while Thailand is becoming a plastic/garbage dump. Same applies to Big C etc.  All of the rich families are taking ZERO action to reduce plastic waste.  Makes me wonder if they care about Thailand or only about profits.

By the way, for the few remaining Trump fans who bizarrely and wrongly think this is about their hero standing up to the anti Christian Muslims...

 

It's worth remembering, that when Trump's final so-called anti-Muslim U.S. travel ban was finally upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, it didn't include quite a few Muslim countries, chief among them Saudi Arabia, which absolutely is and long has been one of the largest exporters and proponents of Muslim fundamentalism, not to mention the native country to most of the 9/11 hijackers.

 

lMHO, Trump is far more despising of poor and colored people, from America AND other countries, than he is of Muslims in general.  Black and browns don't have any place in Trump's Make America White Again World. But Muslims appear to be perfectly fine for him, especially if they're RICH Muslims who have the money to buy and invest in condos, hotels, and other capitalist money making ventures that he values or is involved in.

 

Here are the countries on the final Trump travel ban list: Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Venezuela and North Korea. Personally, I don't have any problem with a U.S. travel ban on people from any of those countries totally unrelated to Muslim issues and solely related to being terrorist, extremist, bad actor countries.

 

But if terrorism and international aggression were the factors, then various other countries certainly belonged on the same list, including Russia, Saudi Arabia and others. And that's why at the outset, I called Trump a hypocrite for his recent aggression toward Iran. He wants to go after Iran, but is fine to let even worse countries continue untouched.

 

If there's an Iran crisis, it's going to be one of Trump's own making.

If America is now self sufficient in oil, why does a right wing POTUS kiss their keister?

Oh, that's right, Iran, that slow mo disaster of the west's own making.

If HD follow through with the proclaimed endeavor. They'll very likely loose future sales in the country where it really matters.

 

Pre-enactment bikes would become a premium 'wanna have' product. Increasing the value of my stable, but for what?

 

Some folks just don't (will never) understand. what owning and riding a Harley is about. When you degrade; a culture or tradition of a nation, you degrade that nation.

They are expanding in Asia because they are not doing well in the country where it really maters... So Ducati is degrading Italy? 

First thing you should do is renew road tax and insurance.  You will have to pay the tax from the last date it was paid so it could go back a few years. If the bike is 5 years old it needs to be checked (like MOT in the UK) . This can be done at many places.  They will give you a piece of paper. You take it with the green book to the DLT. Pay tax and insurance and you are good to go.

Will Orange Man allow them to do that? Arent't they afraid that he will destroy them because they do something he doesn't agree with?  Brave and sensible people at HD.

Trump was really scared when meeting Putin.  He didn't say anything negative about him. Like meeting your boss. Seriously. My guess is that at the end of the day Trump will be impeached because he has received money from the Russians.
