BBC iplayer completely Blocked even with VPN's
I mainly watch BBC iPlayer and also the Australian "STAN" for the rugby and although I've tried even supposedly the best VPNs, none has proved infallible with occasional "dropouts" and blocking, so I switched to "Smart DNS proxy" and that has been great for at least a couple of years. Easy to install, not expensive and has been no problem whatsoever. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time and pretend that you don't understand and will try to explain it to you. If the average wage in Thailand is 15,000 baht nationwide, that's only 200k baht per year, under the threshold to pay tax for most people (60k personal allowance and 150k zero rated band) That means that on average, Thai's don't qualify to pay tax. If Thai's are working and are registered as self employed, it's easily possible to earn three times that amount and still not qualify to pay tax, this is because of the generous deductions allowed for the self employed. If you are registered as self employed, my wife confirms the TRD is quite strict about reminding you to file when needed. Fortunately she does but no doubt they have a follow up system in place if you don't. So yes, it's very probable that many of those rice farmers that you pass, maybe are filing returns twice a year and none are paying tax, legally. I wonder why it is you don't know these things having lived in Thailand as long as you have, especially since you tell us you're a numbers person who knows about taxation. I would have thought some of these things would have rubbed off on you over the years, who knows, maybe it did and perhaps you just forgot, recall isn't what it once was, as we age. Lastly as I see it we have 12 million people filing return, 3 million people paying tax and 4 million people looking for refunds, that's 5 million returns that are...dare I say it, null returns, possible? And if they are not null returns, what are they? https://www.expatica.com/th/work/law/thailand-minimum-wage-2172841/#:~:text=The average monthly salary in,that of Malaysia and Singapore. -

Why Kamala Harris Lost: The Challenges of a Complex Campaign
There were many dem mistake the first was not having a primary. Even though trump was a runaway they still had a primary and trump won without playing actively. Joe might have won but then they would have had a primaried person to put in his place. Kamala was the border czar how did that work She wouldn't face the press Hillary showed that celebrities bring money but aren't going to bring votes She listened to Barry and should have listened to Bill Many people don't like trump but the one thing they remembered was that they were better off when he was in charge and were safer -

What is one thing you learned from lefties?
That without "lefties", the US would be even more bankrupt than it is. Consider.... Blue States are the largest net contributors to the Federal coffers, especially CA and NY. Toss in NJ, MA and IL, and the losers in Red States get their Social Security Disability Insurance and SNAP covered, especially in the truly dumb States of WV, KY and TN. Lefties, or Democrats, are also the only Party that can say they have had serving Presidents who never presided over the start of a Recession, such as Kennedy, Roosevelt, Clinton and Obama. Many inherited Recessions, such as Biden from his predecessor, but no Repub, or 'righty' POTUS has ever NOT presided over the start of a Recession. The stock market also traditionally performs better under lefty Administrations than the supposed "Party of business". I do not have the numbers and data for 2020, but I do have the data for 2016. The winner won 85% of all US Counties, while HRC only won 15% of Counties. Still, her counties represented 62% of US GDP, while the winner's 85% of all US Counties only accounted for 38% of US GDP. Assuming the righties lack the ability to figure, those figures mean Blue Counties are 9.25 times more productive that Red Counties. Intellect might not have the strongest correlation with production, but those numbers certainly suggest which ideology captures the highest IQs---and it's not the right. Of course one only need look at 47's rallies to see the brightest bulbs are not in attendance. "I love the poorly educated" indeed. Even some of the righties know they learn better in institutions run by lefties. Bannon, Cotton and Cruz all went to one of my universities, a decidedly left-leaning institution. Nobody ever learned anything at 47's eponymous 'university', except how to get swindled. Lefties don't necessarily expect the righties to get down on their knees and be thankful, but in their heart of hearts they know progressives are what made and who funds the modern world, perhaps going all the way back to Francis Bacon, the Scientific Method, and the Renaissance. Lefties are not perfect by any stretch, but liberal and progressive is concomitant with thinking outside of the box, not hamstrung by anachronistic traditions and pining for some fantastical 'greatness' that never existed. -

Disagree. This is only a certain type delusional person on the left and representative by a few on here and we know who they are. -
