MAGA demands arrest after Cryptic Post by James Comey Sparks Federal Scrutiny
My point is that this is commonly used language and has been for a long time. No need to go to the internet, no need to have a source any more than I need a source for the meaning of "raining cats and dogs". If you do go to the internet you will find dozens of references to use of 86 in the restaurant and hospitality industry, none of them to do with murder. As an analogous case the term "wise guy" used often by Moe Howard (need to look him up?) you will find "sources" that wise guy means a mafia guy or a mobster. This is obviously an adoption of that meaning from the movies, when the meaning of wise guy is just a smart mouthed person. -

Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
Picture courtesy of Xinhua Thailand's tourism sector faces a pressing situation as foreign arrivals nosedive, with both leisure and corporate travellers dwindling. Former TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn stresses urgent reform is needed to revive the industry and proposes the creation of new destinations to attract higher-quality visitors. Visitor numbers have dropped 1% as of May 11, with particular declines from key markets like China, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Yuthasak notes China, typically providing 900,000 visitors per month, now sees daily arrivals plummet to 13,739, contributing to the overall drop of daily foreign entries to under 60,000. Additionally, the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) segment recorded a 15% international market decline, with revenue shrinking by 21% in the first quarter of 2025. Southeast Asian markets, excluding Myanmar, similarly report a reduction in arrivals. The former TAT head underscores a need to rebuild trust and elevate Thailand's hospitality. Recently, the World Economic Forum ranked Thailand 47th in the Travel & Tourism Development index, noted as the sharpest decline regionally, stressing the decline in safety and security. Competitorial strengths in these areas highlight the nation's need for improvement and diversification towards new offerings. Yuthasak advocates for attracting high-spending tourists, focusing on health, wellness, and business travel mingled with leisure as a strategy. The emphasis lies on transitioning from a demand-driven to a supply-driven approach, crafting high-value tourism products and stimulating satisfaction to distribute tourism income fairly among communities. Implementing these strategies is seen as pivotal to halting the decline and restoring Thailand's standing as a premier tourism destination. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-16 -
