Springfield, Ohio man reported Haitian migrants snatching geese out of park 2 weeks ago
I guess the smaller numbers of ducks, dogs and cats don't count as evidence. When the second wave of refugees from Vietnam arrived in southern California, entire neighborhoods were denuded of household pets. And Vietnamese are far more civilized than Haitians. -

Springfield, Ohio man reported Haitian migrants snatching geese out of park 2 weeks ago
Also, FWIW, according to a full transcript of the debate, Trump never even mentioned anything about ducks when responding to a question about Immigration policy. Instead, he said the following regarding dogs, cats and pets: "And look at what's happening to the towns all over the United States. And a lot of towns don't want to talk -- not going to be Aurora or Springfield. A lot of towns don't want to talk about it because they're so embarrassed by it. In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating -- they're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country. And it's a shame." DAVID MUIR: I just want to clarify here, you bring up Springfield, Ohio. And ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community -- FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I’ve seen people on television DAVID MUIR: Let me just say here this ... FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: The people on television say my dog was taken and used for food. So maybe he said that and maybe that's a good thing to say for a city manager. DAVID MUIR: I’m not taking this from television. I'm taking it from the city manager. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But the people on television say their dog was eaten by the people that went there. DAVID MUIR: Again, the Springfield city manager says there's no evidence of that. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We’ll find out" To which the Associated Press later responded in a Fact Check report: Trump falsely accuses immigrants in Ohio of abducting and eating pets COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were abducting and eating pets, repeating during a televised debate the type of inflammatory and anti-immigrant rhetoric he has promoted throughout his campaigns. There is no evidence that Haitian immigrants in an Ohio community are doing that, officials say. But during the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump specifically mentioned Springfield, Ohio, the town at the center of the claims, saying that immigrants were taking over the city. ... Officials have said there have been no credible or detailed reports about the claims, even as Trump and his allies use them to amplify racist stereotypes about Black and brown immigrants." https://apnews.com/article/haitian-immigrants-vance-trump-ohio-6e4a47c52b23ae2c802d216369512ca5 The AP report also recounts how an entirely unrelated case of a non-immigrant, non-Haitian woman from Canton, Ohio who was recently charged with killing and eating a cat had been falsely linked to the Haitian immigrant community in social media posts. The woman involved is a native born Ohioan. Just as the Snopes fact check above documented that the widely circulated photo of the black man apparently carrying an animal while walking wasn't from Springfield, Ohio, and there was no indication or evidence he was Haitian. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Churchill had huge flaws, no doubt. Huge blind spots. His attitude towards Indians and middle easterners was disgraceful.. But what I said was that he opposed the Nazi's racism. The Nazis racism treated people that Churchill regarded as white, Jews and Slavs, amongst others, as subhuman. Nothing in the quotes you have provided establishes that Churchill prized empire over or even equally to his repugnance at Nazism. Just an assertion from some author. And if Churchill prized empire so highly why is it that he endangered the UK's grasp on it by continuing to oppose Hitler once Japan attacked the Singapore, Hong Kong, etc? -

Pattaya eyes one-way system traffic shake-up to Soi Buakhao
One way for Soi Buakhao is probably the only viable solution since no one seems to care or has the ability to control the double parking which (in my opinion) is a root cause (among other things) causing the chaos. These City Officials talk a good story but in reality, are nothing more than bobble heads talking jibber jabber. Don't tell me what you can do, show me what you can do! Up till now you've only proved that you are good BS artists. Just my opinion. -

Quality sofa in Bangkok, maybe built in Bangkok - where to get one?
Another follow-up about them. They now also replied to my second email with some prices and more information. They don't show prices on their website, so I won't publish here all the details. But to give you an idea. A Chesterfield three seat sofa is in the price range of about 30,000 THB in velvet and 10k to 15k more in "Genuine cow leather (wash off leather)". According to an attached document from them this is "top grain leather" For you leather experts out there, is that kind of leather good quality (at least in theory)? Is the 10k to 15k for leather a reasonable extra price for leather? Or does that sound too cheap or too expensive? I still don't know if it makes more sense to buy leather or no leather in Thailand. But if the leather is good quality and the price is like above, then that sounds not too bad to me. -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
I think you might be wrong and Thailand is doing a run on/in it. All started, visa and the tax, after a EU delegation was in Thailand. No clue, if a USA was involved as well. To have a talk and maybe support to enroll al. Set up for checking money, laundering, terrorist activities. That was a main reason. A global reason for all governments, they are hunting on it. No more mr nice guys! So it started with the main reason. But now control everything about money. Data. There popped up the sub reasons and taxing was very nice of course. Having as well side effect, people leaving Thailand to make space for the super rich. They have way other rules. It is just easy money to get, it was already in law, so now execute. Pai retirees ! EU and USA also forced Thailand to act on "human trafficking" , there were sanctions if they didnt want to comply. They had to show, they were really working on it. All colored books are not really important, money is. The track on money, where is it , where does it go. And with ETA with VE, where are you , where you go, You are the odd one out. Nurachai Ninnad stated , you could enter Thailand as many times you want with only restriction 1 day out of Thailand. Now it is changed and you will need an ETA. That is a digital controlling thing. He didnt know about it when stating, yha right. Surrounding countries al ready have, like Cambodia and Malaysia. Cambodia need to apply in front for 7 days, Malaysia it is 3 days. SO how many days THailand will ask for their ETA? And how much it will cost? For a Canadian ETA, you need to pay. DOnt know about Cambodia and Malaysia, probably STILL free. He also said , there wouldnt be a change in the existing visa in near future. Really? Maybe they connect tax and visa together?! Pushing common retire folks out, Thailand only want super rich ! But ok, not important, first comply with scheme on money, prio 1. Probably forced by others, but THailand has great profit with it in several ways. "My country" (your x) dont want you to go away, There is a magic year 2027 in which all cost you a lot. A big group of pensioners, maybe wanting to immigrate .. to Thailand. They have data on it, so they take actions to hold you for ..money. Price of houses , 3-4 times their former value. So that extra money on house, they want to tax you if you sell. Go to Thailand before 2027? Then you make Thailand act like now, you make it not worthy. You might think sometimes Thai government is behind, but other countries just force them to take those steps and it will become real water tight ! It is all about the MONEY, dum dum dum de didee. Crazy ideas from me? Maybe, but if you just notice signs, you can end up with these kind of conclusions. Fact is cant live in Thailand anymore, due to tax. Thailand taxes everything, no matter where your money is. However I must move, immigrate, before 2027, as "my country" isnt my country anymore, real since 2000. From all EU counties , it is the worst country. -

Water Tank Float Valves
Is that in a toilet? I am talking about valves for water storage tanks. But I think the valve you posted has a diaphragm, and similarly to the "DOS" valve I posted above. -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
Ok, so we have a situation whereby Thai tax returns must be shown to extend a WP, not dissimilar to what some expect for the extension of long term visa's. But there appears to be no requirement to show proof of taxes paid in order to exit, for many visa types. Points that arise include: - is that true of all provinces and visa types. - it does not appear that the TRD Code was changed to rescind the TCC rule, it appears it may have been informally suspended somehow and only presumed to have been rescinded. - I am aware that foreign musicians/entertainers/sport people are groups that must still obtain a TCC before departure, that means the rule is still applicable but on a selective basis. The question is, what other groups does the rule still apply to. A BP quote from 2012 explains: "Those liable to tax under both rules must pay tax at a progressive rate ranging from 5-37%, and the above principles basically apply to all careers. Once foreign sportsmen and entertainers pay their tax, they must obtain a tax clearance certificate before they can leave Thailand".
