mtls2005 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Air, water, virus. Can locusts be far behind? Imagine local fortune tellers and soothsayers are doing a banging trade. As are certain amulet category sales. Songkhran should be interesting. What could go wrong with 3 million people throwing water at each other? Should be fine I guess as long as they are all wearing masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand the concept of drought disaster, right? There is no water to survey or manage. It's gone. What's your second part of the plan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been out of his depth since day one! but continues to do what his backers tell him. How, within the "Democratic" constitution is it even remotely possible to get rid of him, if they were going by the will of the people he would be long gone, unless I am missing something?

CGW Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 As i recall the worse drought in "recent" years was in 2005, is that correct, my memories not what it was, especially when there is a "drought" of some kind in some area every year.
