Good fortune: PM Paetongtarn’s assets exceed 13 billion baht
Not to mention a fairly young Musk currently worth over US 400 billion, nearly double the next richest. Once billionaires get on the list of wealthiest, it is a new competition. -

American on Dirt Bike Kills Thai Woman Crossing Road in Chiang Mai
No they have not.... They've followed SOP for any road incident where a death exists. Your unfamiliarity with the process has influenced and resulted in flaws in your comments. No they are not.... there is plenty of first hand anecdote which highlights that the police are simply indifferent. I have long highlighted that they simply follow the path of least resistance. I've been involved in traffic incidents here and have not been treated unfairly or with negative bias. You gave in... perhaps unfair, but had you pushed it the police would very likely say 50/50.... there is also the 'cultiral facet' that the (seemingly) wealthier party pays, especially if the other vehicle has no insurance - its very likely this was the case and the 'arbitration' of the police simply persued the course that it would have had the incident taken place between two Thai's... This is often handled differently than we are familiar with in the West and the uninitiated will cry 'victimisation' when really, the response is culturally predisposed. This might highlight a lack of understanding of how things work here with regards to cultural disposition in the event of an incident - often the poorer party gets away with a lot of things, that does not automatically mean the foreigner is at fault as some imply - it just means they foreigner does not understand why fault is not allocated in the 'black and white' manner it may be back in our home nations. -

Where to travel out of country for 2 days?
The OP is asking about a 2 day trip. Even free spirits enjoy 2 days in Singapore. As long as he can avoid taking any drugs with him and follow normal rules of civility, he won't have any problem in Singapore. Singapore has the added benefit that immigration entry and exit, and airport security is super easy. Autogates at immigration and never any lines. -

Neil Young Withdraws from Glastonbury, Citing BBC Corporate Influence
I disagree. Some nebulous comment about corporate infiltration is too vague. I believe he owes any fan of his that paid money for a ticket specifically to see him a response on exactly WHAT changed. -

A jihadist just killed 15 in one city and terrorism supporters march in another hours later
You talking about Mali (where 45 told one widow "Get over it, jeesh")? Maybe Irbil, where---according to 45---"nobody was hurt" (the response to the killing of Gen Suleimani)? Oh, you're talking about the servicemen killed by some of the 5000 jihadis 45 ordered released in Afghanistan, the guys who now run Afghanistan. So how would you MAGAs have handled the withdrawal, whose time table was set up by 45? In a protracted withdrawal, maybe 45 would have sent Proud Boys to supervise, since the Taliban would have had much more time to go after servicemen and contractors?
