I Love Donald Trump
It's a very caustic world now. He's a good fit for what we've become as a nation. Tell it to the 500k ukrainians lost their lives and all the US serviceman died on the Afghanistan pull out. No worries Biden's hanging out on the beach enjoying himself and come all as having herself a drink or two -

Thai police shut down 21 villas on Koh Samui, foreigners evicted
The development is right on the border of Tambon Bophut. I had to check that one as well. That original road was supposed to go to a country club that was to be built. Not sure exactly where. After a bit of legal argy bargy it was found that the land was forestry commission land and so the club was cancelled but the road was great for the locals for exercise. The gate was always locked back then, but folk would park cars on front of the gate and bikes could negotiate a ditch and park inside. They then cleared some land and made the car park. The rest is history. I was surprised when the Black Rabbit was built. Before that it was a wooden shack balanced on the edge of the drop, where you could buy refreshments etc after the steep hike up. I like the thought that folk were taking guns up there. Isn't the Black Rabbit run by Russians??? -

The Cost of Delay: Amber Thurman's Preventable Death Highlights Dangers of Abortion Bans
Where is your evidence that there is a situation where "so many US women opting to not use contraception and using abortion as birth control"? IUDs are not a good method of birth control for many women due to pain and other reasons. Why is it only women's responsibility for birth control? If and when a male birth control pill comes out (already under trial), will men be forced to use it or have to take care of any babies they produce? You're in favour of that, right? The Right stands for freedom? What a joke! -

Thailand’s golden rice grain faces storm from strong baht and India
Thailand’s rice exports are teetering on the edge of crisis with looming threats from a strong baht and potential policy changes in India. The Thai Rice Exporters Association has cast a shadow over next year’s outlook, predicting exports might flop below the eight million tonnes mark. Chookiat Ophaswongse, the association’s honorary president, revealed the unsettling news despite unabated flooding wreaking havoc in the north and northeast. This year’s exports, however, seem to be riding the storm, with hopes still high of surpassing the 8.2 million tonnes annual target. Should monthly exports hover around 600,000 tonnes, the total might even spike to nine million tonnes. Enter Indonesia’s rice import agency, Bulog, which has been snapping up supplies through monthly tenders averaging about 450,000 tonnes. Yet, Thai rice has been struggling to hit the bullseye on tender prices, losing out to more wallet-friendly options from Vietnam, Myanmar, and Pakistan. Thanks to La Niña’s generous rainfall, these countries have ramped up rice production, flooding the global market with supply. Global rice prices India, eyeing a grand comeback, might resume exporting white rice in the fourth quarter of the year. This move is set to stoke the competition, likely driving global rice prices into a nosedive and dragging down domestic prices in Thailand, the association warns. The US Department of Agriculture’s crystal ball sees India reigning as the world’s top rice exporter by 2025 with a whopping 20 million tonnes on the move, with Thailand and Vietnam trailing far behind at 7.5 million each, and Pakistan at 5.6 million. The association cautions that 2025 could hit a sour note for Thailand. With India’s export resurgence and a robust baht squeezing the market, Thai rice exports might plummet to a meagre seven to 7.5 million tonnes. Deputy Commerce Minister Suchart Chomklin recently cracked open the Thai Rice Networking Forum 2024, a grand affair aimed at bolstering the local rice market and shoring up confidence amongst trading partners in Thailand’s rice policies. Despite the stormy forecast, Thailand’s rice exports have been on an upward swing. In the first seven months of 2024, the nation shipped out 5.68 million tonnes, marking a 22% year-on-year boom and raking in a handsome 132 billion baht, up 51% from the previous year. Bangkok Post reported the surge is fuelled by rice importers racing to fill their granaries in light of India’s export restrictions and the growing need for food security.
