Thailand and inflation
Shipping rates increased after covid due to lack of containers and also containers not being in the right place at the right time creating bottlenecks in world shipping. The free money, are you refering to the Job retention scheme? that was free money to help buissnes to keep their staff and pay them, cannot remember the percentage. The Bounce Back loans were loans given by banks and gaurennteed by the government to be paid, most business have or are paying the money back. There were grants given to some companies and I think this is an area the gov got it wrong, I know of one charity that got over £800,000 (they run events) and like a lot of charitys the management get huge pay packets, imo I think they should not of got the money. Also some of the people in government (baroness Michelle Mone comes to mind) at the time set up companies and started selling NHS protective clothing and masks etc for millions, they should have been taken to court and jailed as they robbed the NHS and tax payer of money. -

Is there a worse role model for women than Taylor Swift?
Yes. Melania Trump. She has accomplished absolutely zero in her lifetime, she has become the most absent and most irrelevant first lady in American history, and her origins are very questionable. By contrast Taylor Swift has donated nearly 100 million dollars to various causes which is about a thousand times more than Donald Trump has donated his in his entire lifetime, and 10,000 times more than Elon Musk has ever donated. -

Sure no fake products on Shopee
I have bought all sorts of stuff. I don't buy high end expensive stuff or anything that purports to be something it isn't. Although I did buy an exhaust described as SuperTrapp. For me that was more a technical description than a brand. It is brilliant for the price. It does just what i wanted. Bought an impact wrench. least powerful one I could find for motorcycle. Branded as Molita. Irrelevant. it was around 1000 baht and it works fine. If it didn't I would have simply binned it and started again. Caveat emptor. Based on its performance I bought a Molita drill. Not so good but it does work. I don't undo enough fasteners or drill enough holes to spend 4500 Baht on a Makita impact or DeWalt drill. Surely they can only be "fake" if one is mesmerised by western brand names for products made in China but marketed in, say, the US. Misspelling is mostly to deceive Chinese buyers I believe. But interestingly if they can't read English type how do they even know Samsung is the one and not Sansumg in the first place? If one is simply buying a product without a brand name how can it be fake. Unless you order ACV and receive water. BTW PW Nature Farms way up in Phayao sells ACV they ship all over. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thai-Cambodian Border Tensions Rise Over New Landmines
Yes, strangely enough, when you undertake a border incursion and go into another country's territory and cross previously understood and accepted (by international courts) borders, you are likely to encounter defensive fortifications such as landmines. Such weak sauce they're desperately throwing out there now that it's apparent to pretty much all neutral observers what is really going on behind the scenes. Suggest reading the story in The Diplomat by Luke Hunt for those who don't know yet. -

Is there a worse role model for women than Taylor Swift?
Here are some young men expressing their dislike of Taylor Swift's music: !A lot of Taylor Swift songs sound almost the same... her newer songs are all about how she broke up with her latest boyfriend and they can be dreadful to listen to. In almost every new song she rambles on and on about how it was their fault, and that she misses what they have and it’s mentally draining to sit through. " " I’d rather watch paint drying on a 10-hour loop." "I think Taylor Swift is entirely intolerable. I can’t name a song that I would enjoy sitting through. It genuinely irks me when she re-releases the exact same music and makes millions and hits the top charts." https://grcsmokesignals.net/14110/showcase/taylor-swift-is-overrated-and-heres-why/ All very young guys, they look 19 tops. So clearly dislike of Taylor Swift is a universal sentiment not tied to age in any way. We've reached "Peak Swift".
