Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
Indeed I have. I'll tell you one thing, people don't seem to be in great shape these days. The reason why is anybody's guess… but in my opinion, the Spike protein can harm the body and I don't regret not receiving the Covid jab. -

Travel Thailand's Aviation Sector Soars with FAA's Category 1 Safety Upgrade
Just in time for tariffs to reduce consumer spending in the region. That better break out something good to bus in Americans/ North American sourced flights as overall econ is stagnating. Will Thai bust out the old 747s? Oh some nice nostalgia. -

US Tariff Hike Shakes Southeast Asia's Solar Industry, Thailand Among Hardest Hit
Picture courtesy of The Japan News A dramatic tariff escalation from the United States has severely impacted Southeast Asia's solar panel exports, with Thailand facing some of the steepest duties in a move set to significantly disrupt the global renewable energy market. Announced on April 21, the US has imposed monumental duties that could reach up to 3,521% on solar imports from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia. This comes after a year-long investigation spurred by US solar manufacturers' allegations of unfair competition due to alleged government subsidies and below-cost dumping by Asian suppliers. While US manufacturers celebrate what they see as a victory for domestic industry, the tariffs have sent shockwaves through the renewables sector. Many US developers, who have depended on more affordable Southeast Asian panels for their green projects, now face increased costs and disrupted supply chains amidst an already strained solar market. “These antidumping and countervailing duties aim to create fair competition,” the US Commerce Department stated, asserting that the penalties address pricing distortions and illegal subsidies. Cambodia faces the harshest penalties for its non-cooperation during the probe, with potential duties of up to 3,521%. Vietnam is hit with rates up to 395.9%, Thailand at 375.2%, and Malaysia at 34.4%. Major Chinese-linked companies, such as Jinko, Trina, and JA Solar, are also subject to high tariffs depending on their export country. Tim Brightbill, lead counsel for the case-triggering coalition, remarked, “This is a decisive victory for American manufacturing. It confirms suspicions that Chinese companies manipulated the system with satellite factories in Southeast Asia, undermining the US industry.” The US imported nearly US$13 billion worth of solar products from the four targeted countries last year, making up 77% of its total panel imports. In response to this, the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act has encouraged investments in domestic solar manufacturing, but fears persist among US producers about foreign price undercuts. Ultimately, the US International Trade Commission will decide if these imports genuinely harm local producers, with a verdict expected within a month. The potential upholding of these tariffs could have extensive repercussions, potentially increasing project costs, delaying green energy initiatives, and straining relations with key Southeast Asian partners. For Thailand and its neighbouring countries, this unexpected solar dispute presents substantial economic challenges, necessitating a revaluation of their roles in the global solar supply chain.
