The Death penalty your opinion
Yes police do wear body cameras. If the police abuse their power tell me just how does that justify the murder rape and torture by criminals. As to George Floyd Lets examine how treatment of an absolutely identical case when the victim was white and the police officer black. The man was on drugs, had a heart condition. The grand jury stated they could not separate that the death was caused by the mans ingestion of illegal drugs and his heart condition. As to Chauvin. What he did was stupid but I don't believe he intended to harm or kill Floyd. He knew he was being tape and there were witnesses. As to Floyd, he was in the process of committing another crime. He was in possession and ingested what has been considered an amount of Fentanyl sufficient to kill him. He just had Covid. He had heart disease. He was complaining he could not breathe while in the back of the cruiser long before having his neck kneeled on. He was only removed from the back seat because he was trashing it. One way or another. You seem to be of the opinion that if the government oversteps its bounds and uses excessive force that somehow that gives criminals an open license to kill, rape, and rob people. I do not. -

Petrol Station Scam in Bang Rakam Caught on Video, Goes Viral
I hope not, but the petrol car on the other side of the pump could cause problems if a leak occurs. Why don't you simply be a responsible adult, turn your engine off, put your ciggie out, or even better, stop smoking. Have a nice weekend. -

Splitting my time between Thailand & my originating country....
I suspect a lot may depend on what sort of tax obligations you have from your home country, and whether it has a double tax agreement (DTA) with Thailand. If you come from a job (where such jobs exist, but IMHO are difficult to find employment in) that had no (or minimal) tax obligations in, say, your home country, then you may wish to limit your stay in Thailand to 179 days or less, as things seem to be changing in Thailand with regards to foreigners and taxes (impacting those, for example, on the Type-OA visa). This may or may not be relevant based on the DTA one's home country has with Thailand. There is hope that the LTR-WP (wealthy pensioner) and LTR-WGC (wealthy global citizen) visas, may mean one may prefer to restrict their stay to 179 days in Thailand, if their overseas money has had minimal tax applied in their home country. As you probably already know, a Thai Royal Decree states those on the Thailand LTR-WP & LTR-WGC are tax exempt from out-of-Thailand income, brought into Thailand. That's nothing special perhaps for those whose home country has a DTA with Thailand, but not all will find the DTA helpful. Those not on an LTR visa will need to pay careful attention to any tax obligations if their stay goes up to 180-days in Thailand. Still, one great thing about Thailand is it has many Visas to offer. While visa exempt has been increased to 60-days for many country's citizens (for a permission to stay in Thailand), and a 30-day extension on that 'visa exempt' is possible, ... and further while visa runs can give one another 60-days ... its not 100% clear to me one can be assured of getting 60 days (initial visa exempt) + 30-days (visa exempt extension) + 60 days (another visa exempt after a border run) + 30 days (another visa exempt extension) for year after year after year. Possibly one or more Thai border crossing IOs could be concerned one is working in Thailand for 50% of the year, and start denying entry. If you are on a Type-OA visa for reason of retirement, I would suggest you look to change from a Type-OA to a Type-O visa, as the Health Insurance requirements for the Type-OA visa can be annoying (and more expensive) to meet - especially if you have superior health insurance from your home country that will cover you in Thailand. The chances are for extensions of your permission to stay in Thailand, your home health insurance will not be accepted in Thailand for a Type-OA visa. That could force you to change to Health Insurance from the Thai branch of a health insurance company (which may not be as good as your health insurance from your home country) or you could be forced to get double health insurance just to get a visa extension on the Type-OA (for reason of retirement) if you do not wish to give up your (hypothetical) superior home country health insurance. Currently there are no health insurance requirements for those on a Type-O visa. -

Musk the useful idiot
Ohh... but the list doesn't end there! Trump and Musk share a laugh about a company firing workers who were attempting to organize union representation. Trump, Musk LAUGH About Firing Workers For Organizing UAW files federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk after threatening workers on X interview August 13, 2024 (CNN) — The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk for threatening to intimidate workers who go on strike. During Trump’s interview on X Monday night with Musk, who is also the principal owner of the social media platform, the pair discussed a potential role for Musk in Trump’s administration should he get reelected. Trump called Musk “the cutter,” and praised Musk for his anti-union stances. “I look at what you do, you walk in and you just say, ‘You want to quit?’ They go on strike – I won’t mention the name of the company – but they go on strike, and you say, ‘That’s okay, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. Every one of you is gone,” Trump said. Musk could be heard laughing and replying “yeah.” (more) https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/business/uaw-trump-musk-charges/index.html -

Thai Army Denies Mess Tray Overpricing Amid Budget Scrutiny
The Royal Thai Army (RTA) firmly denied allegations from the opposition People’s Party (PP) about overpricing mess trays during the national budget expenditure bill review. The PP claimed the army overspent on 10,000 mess trays, citing excessive budget allocations. Deputy RTA spokesperson Colonel Richa Suksuwanon clarified on September 5 that the trays, funded under the 2024 budget, are made from high-quality SUS 304 food-grade stainless steel, 0.8 millimetres thick, and used extensively. Col. Richa emphasised their durability and frequent usage, noting that each tray costs 520 baht, aligned with discounted rates from top brands like Zebra and Seagull. Countering the opposition, Col. Richa stated that cheaper alternatives, priced at 360 to 380 baht, are made from inferior stainless steel and are unsuitable for long-term use. He reassured that the contracted price was competitive and justified. PP list MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn critiqued the army’s expenditures, suggesting a 1.5 million baht reduction in the defence budget. He also questioned the licensing and procurement practices of the firm awarded the contract. The debate underscores ongoing tensions over defence spending, spotlighting the need for transparency and prudent financial management in public expenditures.
