In addion to the Senate, EC needs to be 100% elected by the electorate, ie., through their elected ministers in the House. And the House needs subpoena power to not only hold the EC accountable but all the quasi-state organization such as the Anti-Corrption Commission. -

Residents Fear for Their Safety as Land Subsides Under Village Road: Near Pattaya
Actually called (in Google Maps) - Soi Mu Ban Classic Home 2. Lol - I've gone around that puddle a dozen or so times on soi Padtanakan 4 (short-cutting between Khao Talo and Thung Klom-Tan Man 9), and never knew it was there. I can see why the residents are nervous. There's a large housing development (Classic Home 1, 2 and 3) on the other side of that brick wall. Some houses are literally right against that wall. Here is the Sept 2023 Google Street View Image: And here is the "satellite view" (the road is on the left side of the pond). The "village - and most of the sois on that side of Soi Khao Noi (or Boon Samphan) all slant downhill towards that pond. I imagine there was a lot of water flowing down there during that last few monsoons we've had. And I wouldn't dip my toe in that "swimming pond". There are "recycling" and "garbage dump" places off to the right side of that pond and you can bet that water wouldn't be safe to drink - in most western countries.- 1

Expert Urges Government To Raise Tax For Foreign Condo Buyers
Surely for condo owner-occupiers, too. That many foreigners chose to live outside the normal legal structures of Thailand doesn't change these structures. Of course, it's easier that way - but buying a condo without having a housebook is almost like buying a condo without a chanote (I know, some people do that). There are even educated middle-class Thais who buy, own and sell condos and don't give a shít about housebooks. But this still doesn't change the legal structure (which is followed by most Thais). Many people think this is Kansas 1840 - no laws, no law-enforcement, no administration. But this isn't Kansas anymore. -

Labour Leaders to Reject Free Clothing: Starmer and Rayner Announce Change
Or maybe simply make a rule that states all donations need to be,and remain anonymous, putting it into practice might be challenging, but not for long . All the donations would soon dry up once the sponsors realised they had nothing to gain. -

Beer drinking in Thailand: Does Leo preserve brain-cells better than Chang?
Actually it's not so much the beer as the snacks that often come with it. Drinking arouses the appetite (to be ahead of the funny guys: yes, not only for food). I can tell from own experience: love to drink beer but don't snack, constant weight (BMI<25) for over 10 years. And as for the spirits: 1 gram of alcohol contains 7 calories. There are 65 cal in a standard glass of whiskey, about 83 in a small bottle of beer. Only alcohol free spirits have zero carbs. Cheers! -

4 dead, 17 injured in shooting in Birmingham, Alabama
The Republican Party refuses to do anything meaningful to address gun control, and neither will Trump. Therefore some of this blood is on their hands, and they have to take some responsibility for the continuation of mass shootings in America. -

Truck Crash on Expressway: 16 Vehicles Wrecked, 17 Injured
I fail to see where any reply on the OP relates to your perceived 'racist predudices'. Are you only on here to bait people? -

Are these people stark raving mad?
It has everything to do with capitalism. Keeping wages low, exploiting the poor, makes for enormous profits. Apple and the luxury brands industry use cheap labour anywhere and everywhere. Back street Bangladeshi sweat shops knocking out Gucci and Nike and getting paid peanuts. How else do you think people get fabulously rich? And billions inescapably poor.- 1
