What Elon Musk Didn’t Budget For: Firing Workers Costs Money, Too
Generally the reason why companies "lay people off" is improve EBITDA; shore up share price, and meet earnings projections. People are also laid off following M&A; duplicated roles. Not comparable to undustry. The reasons are different. Britain went through this in 2010, with the Bonfire of the Quangos. It didn't work then. Labour is planning to repeat this. It won't work now (by working, achieving more efficient public services). For nstance, Labour is planning to abolish NHS England. NHS England is a Quango. Someone very good at charts presented a convincing reason why NHS England had to be created to deliver better healthcare. And someone with very good charts will present good reasons why it needs to go. Government efficiency drives usually result in the government having pay hefty upfront costs of consultants to tell you how to achieve efficiencies, then they bugger off. What often happens is that the normal functions of government, performed by salaried civil servants on modest salaries, say £40,000 PA, end up getting outsource fo contractors on £120,000 a year. Seen it happen with the MOD, utter disaster. And whats worse, you end up employing the same people you let go on triple the rate, but now they only bother showing up 2 days a week, the rest of the time, taking lovely holidays, or hobbies. Literally, the daily rate of a MOD contractor is £1000-1500 a day. -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
Yeah but just look at all those statistics about deaths on the highways here! Best option is either have a dirver or drive without drinking or smoking drugs. I worked in an office where employees were sent away to a different job if every caught DUI or were not hired into my job. Training and experience as I saw the effects on friends of mine. -

Trumps updated approval ratings compared to Biden
Here is a link that is for Reuters. They made some graphs that are updated regularly now. They also compare Trump against Biden during his presidency. This graph goes back to all the time Trump has been in the WH, including his first presidency. https://www.reuters.com/data/trumps-approval-rating-2025-01-21/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=Newsletter&utm_campaign=On-the-Campaign-Trail&utm_term=042425&lctg=67eb5f09ca065b828007c077 What is interesting is how most of them show better standing than Biden in every topic. I thought Reuters was biased against Trump like so many members here but now am beginning to wonder if they changed stance once the collected hard numbers. -

Thai Tax on UK pensions
Yes this was the basis of my question. My UK tax paid is also more than any Thai tax so i am also not going to submit a Thai tax return. If i did the Thai tax form would show that i owe Thai tax and i would then have to somehow argue the DTA negates that ! I was surprised to see OJAS saying that UK Government pensions were non assessable under the DTA. Is that really the case? If so then i need never submit a tax return here as my UK Government pension exceeds any amount that i might remit to Thailand. -

What is a real man?
Sorry if I struck a nerve. If you had just kept quiet nobody would have been the wiser. And I've never jerked off before, but I have washed it a hundred miles per hour.
