Thai PM Assures Nation on Blackchin Tilapia Spread Control
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin expressed confidence today that the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives would effectively manage the spread of blackchin tilapia, addressing growing concerns about the invasive species. The PM made these comments during a water management meeting at the Royal Irrigation Department in Bangkok's Dusit district. Blackchin tilapia, originally from West Africa, has increasingly posed a threat to Thailand’s aquatic ecosystems. Its rapid reproduction and adaptability to various environments have caused alarm amongst environmentalists and local fishermen. Flooding and water overflows, particularly during the rainy season, risk further dispersing the species into uncharted territories. Srettha outlined how the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives has developed a robust strategy to handle the situation. This plan comprises immediate containment efforts, medium-term monitoring, and long-term ecological management. "We are prepared and proactive in our approach to ensure this species does not jeopardise our native biodiversity," he assured. The Prime Minister highlighted the importance of local community involvement and education in combating the spread. Awareness campaigns and training programmes are set to be rolled out, empowering communities to recognise and report sightings of the invasive fish. Dr. Nirat Trakulthong, head of the Ministry’s Department of Fisheries, also attended the meeting, emphasising the collaborative approach between government departments and local authorities. "Our focus is on preventing further spread while assessing the impact on livelihoods and native species," he stated. Environmental experts warn that if left unregulated, blackchin tilapia could outcompete indigenous fish, disrupt local ecosystems, and potentially impact the fishing industry. However, Srettha's address today aimed to calm anxieties by highlighting the government's firm grasp on the issue and their detailed plan to manage it. In summary, while the blackchin tilapia presents a real and present threat, the government’s coordinated efforts appear poised to mitigate its spread and protect Thailand’s rich aquatic diversity.

Bangkok Redlight Nightlife Empty??
Most freelancers I know are simply lazy or alcoholic and usually both. I know a few who went to work in factories but they always quit after a few months because the work is hard, the hours and pay are ridiculous, and most of all they miss partying their ass off and having money. Some of the comments on this thread describe them as soulless creatures who made a wrong choice, but that's far from the truth. They are just people - some of them good, some bad, some crazy, some amazing. They don't lose their souls because a guy (or many guys) had sex with them, and to say that they made a wrong choice is, well, wrong: they get to party all the time, get paid for it, drink for free, and even get laid. Hotter/younger ones have plenty of choice and can choose the men they're willing to go with. That's actually not a bad life, and not a bad choice given the alternatives (factory or fields). Let me guess - she was old and extremely experienced? baggage. All the younger girls I know who work in bars are very happy to be there. It's a choice. -

Poll: Who will Kamala Harris pick to be her VP?
As before you have obnoxiously distorted Shapiro's position on the conflict. He's in the mainstream of democratic politicians on that yet you again obsess about his ethnicity. He does not support apartheid or genocide. "A dangerous and destructive force" "One of the worst leaders of all time" Shapiro about Netanyahu -

If it came from a beer truck accident, she would be handling stolen goods as it would be the property of the insurance company. She deserved to be cheated. -

Poll: Who will Kamala Harris pick to be her VP?
He seems a bit like Kamala. Damaged goods that people had become prematurely excited about. As far as Walz goes he might as well be the mayor of SF given the reputation of MN and Minneapolis these days. Cell phone usage in downtown MPLS is still 40% of what it used to be. I am sure Ilhan Omar will endorse him. Lol https://www.americanexperiment.org/data-show-that-downtown-minneapolis-has-had-the-worst-recovery-of-daytime-and-weekday-activity-in-the-united-states/ -
