Oklahoma’s Controversial Plan to Purchase 55,000 Bibles for Public Schools
I don't live in the USA, but judging by the images of homeless people, drug addicts staggering down the street, gun murders, there are more urgent matters than buying 55,000 Bibles! -

Trump lost the respect of veterans – including me. He's a risk to our democracy.
How can veterans vote for a coward who bribed a doctor to get out of being called up. The guy is a liar and needs to be sectioned. He has zero respect for the military as his vile comments about POWs shows, especially McCain. -

Could an October Surprise Shift the Deadlocked Trump-Harris Race?
Anything can happen. A stumble here, an obvious lie there, a 'misspoke' somewhere else. Looks like being fascinating till the end, watching a once-great nation falling apart. -

Drunk Crashes Into Motorcycle, Killing Two 14-Year-Old Girls in Tragic Wrong-Way Collision
The problem here is that 80% or so of the road deaths are motorcycle riders - total road deaths are 24K. And if I am not mistaken, motorcyclists are not required to have insurance so the police normally just charge any other vehicle that hits the motorcycle. -

Parents Demand 1.21M Baht Compensation for Children They Didn’t Raise
This is a big problem, and it´s very good that they finally open up their eyes, about the fact soo many parents in Thailand are neglecting their children. However, this is not anything new, and they have been aware of the grand parents, aunts, sisters and other family members are bringing up the children. Especially the Thai schools, who see this fact on a daily basis. Now the problem comes up, just because we are talking money, that is something which brings out the most bad in people. Here comes the money sniffing absent parents, demanding more and more as they see an opening to a better life. Not at all about their children, as money can´t replace a child, more than in a money hungry mind without shame. They just want to rake in the dough. On the other side we have the authorities, that suddenly wake up and see the absent parents as a problem. Something we almost never hear about otherwise. Now it´s about money for them too, and they start to press on that being an absent parent and asking for more compensation will be a wrongful act. As right as they may be, it´s absolutely not the right time to bring such things up. Actually it´s the most bad timing ever. That shows that none of the sides, parents nor authorities have any feelings nor compassion. Looking at it from another perspective: Who must be the one to claim compensation? According to Thai laws, that must be the legal guardian, which in this case will be the parents. Seen from that perspective, there are no other persons or family members that are in position to claim compensation, as they do not have the legal authority to do so. That makes me wonder why the authorities react like they do, as they must also be fully aware of such facts. Looking from a moral aspect, it looks very bad that absent parent are included in the ones who make a run for claiming higher compensations. That makes it totally visible they were only in it for the money, and always saw their children as money cows they could milk later in life. A very sad fact, which has plagued Thailand for far too long time. All, comes down to a system that does not give nor protect older people, which only concentrate on submarines, fighter jets and though corruption lining their own pockets. So, why is it like this? Does it have to do with that people have no shame in their bodies, and money rules it all? Of course it has, which has been a problem for long time. There are also other factors, like the keystone cops, authorities and government, who should be leading with knowledge, intelligence and understanding. Looking at the information below, it sure looks like they doesn´t have a clue. What? They are probing a potential negligence of state officials? This is horrendous! They know very well, that there is no thing such as negligence here. It´s money talking again, and officials as well as authorities, well aware of what´s going on, taking the bribes and overlooking the faults and dangers. Just signing off, on a paper that led to over 20 school children burnt to death in an illegally modified and on inspection approved bus. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I've decided I'm going to File a return for this year (Have filed previously & already have a TIN so can do it all online). My original thinking was that I have approx. 8K in withheld tax that I can claim back, but now I'm thinking I'll remit enough money so I'll break even or have a small (couple hundred THB max) Tax liability. TBH I need the cash & taking it out of my fixed deposit accounts would cost me more so it makes sense to me.- 2

Horrific Bus Fire in Thailand Sparks National Debate on Safety
There is no safety in Thailand, it's all lip service, like boards at construction sites saying safety first and the first thing you see is a man dangling on a rope with no harness or helmet. With the now exposed corruption of bribes paid for over weight trucks and trailers to continue their journeys and this latest tradegy with inspectors taking bribes the rotten core of officials is sickening. -
