"Do No Harm." No doctor should be forced to castrate anyone, chemically or physically. However, in hiring medical staff, the prisons should screen for doctors will to do what their employers mandate them to do. Hire willing staff. For those who don't want to do it - well, I'd think being a medical professional working for the prison system would end up being a dead-end profession.

Here's reality. As Trump Makes America Unaffordable Again, all of us living here should enjoy the benefit of increased domestic, ASEAN, and Eurasian trade. Apple has always been a product for people with more disposal income than the average pleb. I'd consider buying one if they ever became competitively priced with Android-based phones and x86-based computers as opposed to being a status symbol like Mercedes, BMW, and Rolex. The concept of building proprietary operating systems ($$$Cha-Ching$$$) that runs on proprietary hardware ($$$Cha-Ching$$$) is eventually going to bite them in the ass. Personally I could care less if Apple tanks. Then they may be forced to sell their products at competitive prices to folks in the Global South and developing world at prices average people can afford.

I love it when both the Left and the Right show their true colors: All of them are intolerant.

They'll throw their white ethnic Swede and ethnic Anglo/Saxon/Celtic citizens who complain about it into prisons for hate crimes like pointing out grooming gangs and gang rape. Me? I don't live there anymore. I don't care. The entire West can turn into a third-world s***-hole for all I care. Anyone with eyes can see that it won't happen here as long as the local continue to embrace their ethnocentric xenophobia. They tolerate farangs here, but they aren't going to allow their country to become a Islamic backwater for those illegally "immigrating" from Africa and the Middle East. Ain't gonna happen in my lifetime.

This is exactly what his he and his friends in the WEF worked so hard to achieve. They must have thought they could control it. Well, convert to Islam and you'll have it under control again, 'eh?

It's called "Democracy" until it isn't. If the majority of the French (considering that France is now a extension of North and sub-Saharan Africa) want to vote candidates who belong to the Muslin Brotherhood into office as their representatives - that's how democracy works. I mean heck, look - the head of ISIS in Syria is now president of Syria and most EU leaders go to get they pictures taken with they guy. What's a terrorist? It's irrelevant in the name of political expediency. The EU's new concept of "Democracy" is to label all political opponents as belonging to "terrorist groups" and then banning them from running in elections, often my just arresting them. At the same time as they recognize actual terrorists as "fellow politicians and world leaders." You can't make this s**t up. It reads better than fiction. The EU, including France, is crumbling into its own footprint. It's an own goal, they did it to themselves. So don't b**** Macron. The pile of 💩 your sitting in is your own.

Manchild who is president of the US throws his pacificier out of the pram again. Don't worry. The Republicans will lose in the Congressional mid-terms, and at this rate AOC or Gavin Newsom will be your next president in 2028. Different children; different prams (baby buggies in American English). The same stinky mess when you pick the baby up 💩 Yeah, I know I know. DJT makes you go crazy. Your not the only one. But here's reality: both parties work for the benefit of their donors and special interests who fund them. As George Carlin aptly stated, "It's A Big Club And You Ain't In It!" They collectively urinate on the smiling, upturned faces of the working class and what use to be the middle class - whether they be waving MAGA red or LGBT+100 rainbow flags - before hitting them right between the eyes with the "money shot" (if you don't understand that vernacular, there is no money in a "money-shot," well, unless you are Bonnie Blue). The only groups getting paid are the mega-rich regardless of their party affiliation, and those who come to America through the back-door which gets propped open every time the Democrats rule the roost. As the years go by, what's left of the middle class and working class is more likely to be found living rough on the streets sans government assistance or medical care. One thing for sure - Trump is not an economist and he quite obviously doesn't have competent economists in his administration. This tariff war will blow-back on the US economy (monetary and fiscal). And who will get screwed? Average Americans. Which is why there will be shake ups in the next elections, not that it will make any difference, it won't. Just like the Democrats did with Biden's cognitive mess, the Republicans will do with the economy: "Don't believe your eyes!!! Joe's as sharp as a tack and the US economy under DJT is the biggest and bestest and most beautiful economy ever." Blah blah blah.

Both Shinawatra's and a Red Bull kid didn't have any problems leaving the country either. For the rich, exile is an option it seems.

Well, the problem resolved itself. The sentence is window dressing. Now, I wonder if that guy who kicked a six year old school boy in the back of the head will get a prison sentence. That will probably me "memory-holed."

But but but - the "Mega-Rich" gets tax breaks. When Republicans are in office: The Mega-Rich get transfer payments from the government. Working class gets the shaft. When Democrats are in office: Illegal and migrants get transfer payments from the government. Working class gets the shaft. They both suck Jing.

I love this. "Take your shots so I don't get sick." Well, if the shots work so well, you wont' get sick. You've taken the shots so we pose no risk to you vaccinated folks. You don't have to worry about those of us who don't take them. You're 100% protected from contagion and death. Safe & Effective! "The Experts" say so, so it must be so! Don't worry about us. We'll all die off for sure, with our last breath uttering, "I wish I had taken the shots!"

I know you have a different view on the subject, and I respect your views.

Starting around March 2020, "The Experts" told the pro-vaxx happy campers that their own immune systems don't work. They were told that their bodies need to be flooded with artificially produced antibodies or else they'll get sick for sure, and if the shots don't stop them from getting sick, then the shots will keep them from dying for sure. For sure, four sure. Remember this canard? Joe Biden: “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the IC unit, and you’re not going to die.” Ah-huh, sure. Between 2020 and 2024, outright lies about the science of immunity were called "Science" and "facts" and "The Truth," while the entire body of scientific knowledge about the immune system up to 2020 suddenly became "Anti-science" and "fake news" and lies." And imminent scientists who called BS (e.g., Great Barrington Declaration) on this new "The Science" promoted by charlatans like Fauci where actively censored, shadow-banned, threatened with loss of their tenure, and medical licenses for promoting the actual science supporting immunology up though March 2020 when Big Pharma, the WEF, and "The Science" promoted a new paradigm to support their narratives. Unfortunately they permanently warped the minds of a large sub-sect of the public who still "Trust The Experts" and therefore still discount the factual science of branches of science like immunology. So these folks who call themselves "pro-vaccination" and sneer at anyone who doesn't accept "The Science" that was promoted after March 2020, literally don't know what mechanisms like Memory T and B lymphocytes haven in a robust immune system. My guess is they don't have a clue as to how their immune systems works. All they know is "The Experts" told them to get "The Shots" and by God they'll continue to take the shots because they know in their heart of hearts that they'll die for sure if they don't take as many vaccinations as possible - because they know for sure: Immune systems don't work, only vaccinations work. The Experts told them so. Oh - and don't learn about the immune system because this holy information can only be discerned by "The Experts." BritManToo, by the time you get to be our age, you've been exposed to just a massive number of pathogens in all their newly evolving forms and as such have developed a robust immune response to those pathogens and other pathogens which share similar characteristics. If you don't have the antibodies, you have the memory lymphocytes that kick into gear and create the antibodies as soon as you're body encounters these pathogens. In the minds of people like the OP and other "only-vaccines-will-save-you" crowd, all people who refuse to "take their shots" are all asymptomatic super-spreaders (another new term coined by "The Experts" to scare the bejesus out of the public). "If you don't take your shots you'll die for sure!" Once you get old enough, everyone "dies for sure." But for those who want to take all of their shot, feel free. But we will tangle the minute you insist that I take them too so that you don't have to worry about "anti-vaxxer, asymptomatic super-spreaders" which was a load on nonsense. Personally I don't want to support these people's personal psychosis and irrational fears that were fueled by deliberate misinformation regarding proven science (pre-2020) and replace with a pseudo-science narrative by Big Pharma and Friends (post March 2020). Takes your shots kids - Safe and EffectiveTM. You can have mine too!

Tuco Ramirez aka bob smith, et.al..

Have you ever noticed this on the Sky Train? "Whenever a foreigner is sat down, there is always an empty space next to him/her. Sometimes I've even seen when a foreigner takes a seat next to a Thai they immediately up and move to another seat." Never seen that bob, ever. bob smith.....this IS your new incarnation? Innit? Right?

I get 1 kg of bell pepper when they are in season for 10 THB.

Ok. Don't invest in gold. Next topic?

I'll just give the article a "laugh emoji" and call it a night.

People keep posting, Thailand expensive, but I'm not seeing it! I don't see it out here in rural Thailand. However, I have noticed that our trips to Makro and Big-C have gotten more expensive, but I put in into perspective. We get a bag of lettuce or a bag of green peppers, or a bag of other vegetables, and what do they cost. Really really inexpensive. Usually when this stuff is in season, it's dirt cheap. So it offset the cost of things like olive oil which is the only oil I'll use for cooking and salads. But stuff like olive oil just reflects the cost of products on the global open market and are not specific to Thailand. And I look at the US where a one bedroom studio apartment on the West Coast or WA state where I lived most of my life costs $2000/mo. Then start adding in sales tax, utilities, taxes on utilities, etc etc etc. When I left the US it was affordable. In the 18 years since I left its gotten stupid as far as prices go.

FDA requires Covid vaccine makers to expand warning about risk of rare heart inflammation Trust the experts! No problem. Get your shots and your 7th and 8th boosters. Safe and Effective. Caveat: The CNN article totally defends Covid vaccinations, so no worries. Rare heart inflammation are probably fake news, innit? https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/21/health/fda-covid-vaccine-warning-heart-inflammation

Omnibus spending bills are pork-barrel filled abominations.
