What's behind the current THB strength?
Maybe we should start to realise that the century of US/European dominance of the world is coming to an end. Politically and economically. The next century will belong to Asia, S/E Asia. No wonder that those currencies are starting to reflect this fact. Currency exchange rates of 20 years ago will never come back again. Period. One can "hedge" the future decline of "western currencies" at an insurance premium of 5% per year (average). The other "hedge" is Gold. Unfortunately the Gold hedge also costs you about 5% per year (carrying charge). Rats! The devil never sleeps. -

The war widens.

According to an IDF probe, two explosive-laden drones were launched from Iraq in the attack, one of which was shot down by air defenses and the second impacted an army base in the northern Golan Heights several minutes later. -

Is Thailand Value for money
I just bought my first lease for a Thai rental (6 mos in Hua Hin), for 1/3 the cost of my partly subsidized long term rental in Manhattan. Biggest advantage is the face I wake up to and kiss good-night. Restaurants in NY are better, but I eat well enough in Thailand. I can read the New York Times online (though I prefer the paper) and I can listen to WQXR on my laptop (though I prefer the radio). I can't give up NY but I expect to bring my TGF there for March to August. Wish me luck. -

The EU's Struggle with Identity: A Shift Towards Xenophobia and Ethnic Nationalism?
Perhaps growing up killing "the enemy" on PC games leads them to think war is just like a PC game and "the enemy" isn't real people. -

Care Homes Urged to Embrace Transgender Identities in Elderly Care
It's not the staff's job so it would not be included unless their job description was amended, and it was that that I was referencing, in case the management tried to include it. I wonder how many care home staff you know personally? I know some and it 's an unappreciated job, hard work and very poorly paid. -

Bangkok Will Not Flood, PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra Assures
Quite a confident remark, considering River Ping Basin is currently at 5.25meters where critical flooding point is 3.7 - guess where most of that water is heading while the monsoon trough moves south... -

RFK Jr. Faces New Infidelity Allegations From 3 More Women
Best post on this thread. It's the usual suspects trying to cancel an opponent and not succeeding as they have used the same pathetic accusations too often. Best to ignore their bleating. -

NYP: Megyn Kelly tears into Media…
The battle of unnamed sources! “Kamala Harris and her media lackeys parade her 'wife guy', beta hubby Doug Emhoff as a model feminist. So, MAUREEN CALLAHAN rages, how can they stay so shamefully silent now that he's accused of hitting his ex”? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13916949/Kamala-Harris-Doug-Emhoff-slapped-girlfriend-silent-MAUREEN-CALLAHAN.html Second gentleman Doug Emhoff denied the veracity of a Daily Mail report in which three unnamed sources accused him of having slapped a former girlfriend during a 2012 trip to the Cannes Film Festival. "This report is untrue," an unnamed representative for Vice President Kamala Harris' husband told news outlet Semafor. "Any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/emhoff-denies-report-he-slapped-ex-girlfriend-outside-ritzy-overseas-movie-event -

Israel Bans U.N. Chief António Guterres Amid Escalating Tensions
I agree, as that way the US doesn't get to veto everything that doesn't go its way. -

Israel Bans U.N. Chief António Guterres Amid Escalating Tensions
That language is similar to that heard in a certain European country in the 1930s, and it didn't work out very well for them either. -

Even 'devout Christians' are appalled as OK mulls $3.3 million bid on 'Trump Bibles' for schools This sounds like yet another money laundering scheme.
