According to the budget for this year 30 billion baht was given to a certain family , thats all that matters and not the minions at the the bottom of the pyramid .

Yup, doesn't that crown it all!

'Thailand plans public-private partnership (PPP) projects worth 1.09 trillion baht during 2020-2027, the finance ministry said on Wednesday, as the government tries to revive the struggling economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.'

And maybe can only pay the surprisingly few people found eligible for one months payment before the money starts running out.......

Obviously the 'chosen' people here do not believe in karma. 

They've been right so far.

When your average Joe / Somchai is hungry and desperate and his government refuse him some small pity then it's what happens next that matters.
