China warns ,don’t appease trump
The EU did put tariffs on China mainly electric cars 45% however thanks to that brilliant multi-bankrupt businessman in the White House the EU and China will look into setting minimum prices on electric vehicles. Negotiations set to start immediately. The US is being frozen out. The EU and China are getting closer. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/eu-china-start-talks-lifting-eu-tariffs-chinese-electric-vehicles-handelsblatt-2025-04-10/ -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
I don’t claim to be innocent. Still, I believe I was treated unfairly. Which, in turn, is something anyone who violates the law should expect, especially in a country like Thailand. And with this post, I want to warn other foreigners in Thailand. Personally, you have no sympathy from me since you don’t seem to have any empathy for others yourself. -

BREAKING NEWS Seven Dead as Runaway Bus Slams into Trucks and Bursts into Flames
Every time there's a crash like this, the same old tired, ignorant comments appear—blaming the driver, mocking Thai people, and pretending to be experts on road safety. There’s no proper investigation, no real crash report—just assumptions and casual racism. Drivers here work brutal hours in unsafe vehicles on dangerous roads, with zero systemic support. This isn’t about one man’s mistake. It’s a failure of infrastructure, enforcement, and standards. If you can't offer empathy or informed insight, say nothing. -

The US Debt Problem
What is a Gish Gallop? A long string of lies. Everything here is just another lie. Won't bother to address any of them because they'll just respond with another GG. Standard Russian Propaganda method. Busted, KGB agent #65376 🤓 -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
While I understand that the OP might have been far out of his comfort zone, indeed he has been treated quite well. I know in Phuket, the police used the method of the holding cell quite effectively in deterring tourists likely to be caught with a DUI again (eg longer term visa holders), just to make sure that they got the message. Those cells were small, so 15 people in it would not have given all of them the room to sleep; and as far as I know, no breakfast for those who would be released anyway... The law has changed by now, DUI is a criminal offense, so no laughing matter any more. Indeed the OP could have just as easily been deported, and would have for sure if there would have been an accident. In cases that the police would take a backhander, I have heard quotes of a large multiple of what the OP had to pay in the end. I think the OP paid just a little bit of learning money, has a story to tell, and can be happy that he got off really lightly (I am assuming THb 10,000 barely hurts him). He should be thankful for that and think twice, if he want to subject his wife one more time to the same routine in case he re-offends.- 2
