January 6, 2021 -- a day that will live in infamy
Prove what? I acknowledge the result of the election. Unlike you and other MAGAs, I am able to accept reality. I'm not going to evoke ridiculous conspiracy theories for years because I don't like the result of an election. -

Are more and more mainland Chinese trading in China for a life in Northern Thailand?
One other not unimportant consideration: a. In the USA/Canada, Chinese can buy land, and own it. b. In Thailand, this is not really possible. c. For Chinese, traditionally, land ownership is almost as important as family. -

Essential Driving Rules and Etiquette in Thailand
I found this after a quick search: One of the answers from the below thread (from 2012): The need for an IDP to accompany the UK license has been discussed on here before and I believe more people think an IDP is not required. However you can only drive on the UK license for a period of 6 months (again some people disagree and say up to 3 months) then a Thai license is required. It is normal here for the car to be insured, not the driver, either for any valid driver or named drivers, when a discount is given, but please read the small print on the policy as some insurance companies state that a Thai driving license is required to be covered. Not a problem for day to day driving but if you are unlucky enough to have a major accident insurance companies have been known to use any loophole to avoid paying out. -

Security at walking street wreaking havoc
Agreed. I was in Pattaya a year ago - first time since 2014 - I found the 'talent' anything but appealing. Real rough stuff. Not nice at all. -

Essential Driving Rules and Etiquette in Thailand
Yeah, I wonder what would actually happen in case of an accident in Thailand while holding an IDP… Would the insurance cover the driver? -

Mark Zuckerberg's Swing to the Right, Brings Dana White onto Meta Board
Yes, on paper Mark Zuckerberg's voting power in Meta Platforms (Facebook) is 56.9%. And yes, he has influence. However, the USA has three popular types of litigation that interfere with Zuckerberg's grand designs; 1. Oppression Remedies and request for relief: These include actions arising from allegations of of fraud, or unfairness, or illegitimacy. These actions relate to claims by minority shareholders where the majority shareholder(s); -redirected the company’s net profits to their own advantage - took actions that diluted shares - denied access to information or restricted or blocked minority participation - made unfair dividend distribution 2. Derivative action litigation where minority shareholders will file a lawsuit against the majority shareholder(s) alleging management wrong doing or breach of fiduciary duty. 3. Employees who have a retirement plan that includes shares or deferred profit sharing can file fiduciary liability actions. And the fact is, the minority shareholders have been making Zuckerberg's life difficult. For example; - Nov 22, 2024: US Supreme Court allows shareholder lawsuit against Facebook to go forward. The lawsuit was brought by investors who claim they were misled by the social media giant about risks from a massive data breach. The suit was brought by investors, led by Amalgamated Bank, after Facebook’s stock price plunged in 2018 following news that the Republican-aligned political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had improperly obtained the personal information of 30 million Facebook users. -22 Oct. 2022: Shareholder Lawsuit Charges Meta Platforms with Prioritizing Profits over Shareholders, Class action on behalf of diversified shareholders says insiders willfully ignored costs the Company imposes on society and diversified investors to boost traffic on its platform and generate more ad revenue. -

Are more and more mainland Chinese trading in China for a life in Northern Thailand?
Agree. I was just going to say that the smart Chinese cash has always piled into real estate in San Fran, LA, Seattle, Vancouver, New York and to a lesser extent Toronto, Calgary, Florida and Texas. We're seeing some cash injections now in the smaller midwest cities of Canada and the States. Those home prices have only one way to go - UP. The USA and Canada are top tier Alpha +++ countries compared to Thailand, in terms of quality of life and basic working infrastructure.
