White Culture
If you look back on the history of German industry, it started out copying British products. That's why "Made in Germany" was introduced by the British. It was meant as a warning. Don't buy this, it's a shoddy German product. The British could not fathom that German products would eventually become better than British ones. Eventually Made in Germany became a mark of quality. Just like the British then you think the Chinese are just copyists. But in time they will be the innovators. They already file more patents than the US. The Japanese showed the same development. And the same will happen with Thailand, eventually. Given time. History does not support this notion that only Europeans have a Monopoly on innovation and invention. It shows the opposite. And this notion that a harsh environment created an extra special white race more ingenious than others, again is the climate in Siberia not harsher by far? Why did Siberians not develop this technology gap? Or the Eskimos, by all accounts a harsher life, no technology gap there. The technology gap has other reasons. I'm not hating on whites. I'm just being realistic. I thought like you. Harsh climate. Greater IQ. Then I read the bell curve. The best book on IQ I ever read. Turns out Asians are ahead of us. Of course the IQ measurement went through a development stage. However, IQ is a fantastic predictor. It has correlations that are astounding. It is still the best predictor of scholastic and indeed professional success. There is a reason the US army routinely tests IQs of new recruits. -

Moldova Accuses Russia of Voter Bribery to Block EU Integration
It's tough for Vlad, that old USSR trope about how their international people's liberation initiative will elevate the workers of the world etc. Can't run that one anymore. Maybe it's the way these dictators are being shaped by Occidental movie characters. They seem to fashion themselves as Bond villains. Vlad even resembles one of the agents in From Russia With Love: -

Which state that Trump won in 2020 will he lose this time?
Now THAT, sir, is the epitome of optimism! I would like to see that, but I'm hoping to at least see them get rid of Ted Cruz. Kinda funny how right-wing media continuously blasts the Ivy League for being a socialist-commie-fascist-[feel free to add any -ist word to the list] while lauding their own dunderheaded quasi-fascist heroes that it has produced. When Josh Hawley first appeared they couldn't say enough about his brilliant CV. But as with a lot of people in the US with impressive academic credentials the "brilliance" is seldom discernible. -

My best memory of Thailand
Working in Thailand after experiencing the Spring Offensive of 1972 at Phu Bai Vietnam with nightly mortar and rocket attacks... My best memories, no rocket and mortar attacks! -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
No way in hell they are trying to defend themselves here; they are trying to take advantage of Russia, which is currently at war, and are showing the Russians who the real dog is by flexing their power. Defense would be if the Russians made some underhanded attacks on the U.S., but I can't think of any recent events that would suggest that -

Swing voters:Just a independent voter’s rant from a US Citizen
Swing voters ,Something to think about when you go to cast your vote! I doubt very much the proponents of illegal migration to the USA , could or would cover “all the financial issues “ quite like this study from 2023.imop At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion. Every day, hundreds of millions of dollars in American taxpayer money are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration. Only a small fraction of these costs is ever recouped from taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and legal immigrants. https://www.fairus.org/issue/publications-resources/fiscal-burden-illegal-immigration-united-states-taxpayers-2023 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/illegal-immigration-costs-us-taxpayers-151-billion-year-study-finds -

Keir Starmer’s EU Reset: A Strategy Built on Falsehoods
The EU did not help. It's the problem the system of the EU has, is that you can get some foolish people in charge at the wrong moment. All it had to do was make some concessions to the UK on immigration (which could have been dealt with in the longer term, in a time when there was less volatility in the politics and an economy on the rise again). They've already given concessions to the UK on not being part of Shengen, when the reality was it made no difference other than optics. Anyone who got a shengen visa also qualified quite easily for a British visa. The EU has been hurt by this too. You say the US and Beijing simply bypass the UK, and go straight to Europe. They don't. They bypass Europe now too. Without the UK, they have lost one of the few major defense partners in the world, and one of a few nuclear powers. Look at how the Polish leadership were annoyed with the EU leaders posturing over northern ireland, when if Russia made any advances to Poland it was only really the UK (along with France) that could come to help. The structural leadership of the EU is a problem. You have different countries, leaders with egos exerting influencing for short term gain, rather than looking at the bigger picture. They will never get a better opportunity to intergrate the UK into the EU than they do now. Labour will lose seats at the next election and be weaker. Make a deal with friction free trade. Make a deal on immigration (because that's what it's about with ignorant racist fools). And then slowly intergrate. Cast bind it, so no future conservative government can undue it without massive economic pain. But will they do anything? Nope. More posture, dealing etc The EU has stagnated, whilst China, the USA, and now even India are burgeoning. All we are now is a museum for tourists. -

You are in an information bubble. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/26/republicans-noncitizen-voting-no-evidence/75291163007/ In case of loss, Republicans prepare to blame noncitizens voting − which is incredibly rare --- You're also obssesswd with personally insultimg me to a truly insane kevel. SUPER WEIRD! -

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
This chart shows the price of cars in Yuan and the equivalent price in THB and then it shows the price of the same vehicle when it arrives in Thailand as you can see the increase in price for Thailand varies by Brand with Byd with the lowest price increase for Thailand Some of the vehicles listed are not part of EV 3.5 subsidy agreement and therefore are subject to normal customs duties but it does show overall that the prices of EV's are cheaper in China compared to Thailand https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3247565412044635&set=gm.7927927447327783&idorvanity=2389905174463399
