What's your favorite sex position?
Since you only sleep with ladyboys, I find it very hard to believe that any of them would object to begin with. But very PC of you to at least refer to them as women. -

Labour of love: Thailand scrambles to clean up its fishy business
The Labour Ministry of Thailand is racing against the clock to scrub fishmeal, fish oil, and animal feed off the notorious US 2024 List of Goods Produced by Child Labour or Forced Labour. The urgency comes straight from the top, with Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn cracking the whip for swift action to safeguard Thailand’s international reputation. As Labour Ministry spokesperson Phumiphat Mueanchan reveals, this dreaded blacklist falls under the US Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005, also known as the TVPRA List. But that’s not all! Thai products are also splashed across the List of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labour under Executive Order 13126, famously dubbed the EO List. The US Department of Labor’s freshly minted 2024 lists have painted a scarlet letter on Thailand, singling out fishmeal, animal feed, and fish oil. Not content to sit idly by, the Labour Ministry is assembling a powerhouse task force, roping in private sector heavyweights from the Thai Tuna Industry Association and the Thai Pet Food Trade Association. Their mission? To thrash out a killer strategy to cleanse these fishy goods from the shameful lists once and for all. Phumiphat emphasises that the minister is all ears to the private sector’s jitters over the export fallout—after all, Thailand’s fishery and pet food shipments to the US rake in over a whopping US$1 billion (roughly 33 billion baht) every year. The stakes are high, with five Thai products still languishing on the TVPRA List—shrimp, fish, sugarcane, garments, and pornography. Meanwhile, garments linger as the only Thai entry on the EO List. But fear not, the labour minister is launching a full-scale probe and clean-up operation. Thailand has been diligently weeding out child and forced labour from its production lines, scoring a victory by banishing shrimp from both blacklists. Phumiphat also reveals that efforts are underway to pluck sugarcane off the list, thanks to a shift to mechanical harvesting. “We’re relentlessly inspecting workplaces and championing stellar labour practices to clear all Thai products from the US lists.” By Bob Scott Picture courtesy of the US Embassy Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-10-21 -

Thai Finance Ministry to tighten state welfare card criteria
Thailand’s Ministry of Finance is set to review the criteria for the State Welfare Card registration, aiming to exclude ineligible individuals after finding some recipients receiving as much as 10,000 baht per month in benefits. Deputy Finance Minister Chulapan Amornvivat announced a forthcoming meeting to discuss the progress of the new round of State Welfare Card registration. This comes following the Cabinet’s resolution to review the State Welfare Card data every two years. The preparations for the new registration phase are expected to begin early next year, to complete the eligibility screening by March 31. Currently, 13.5 million people hold State Welfare Cards. The new eligibility criteria will focus on income levels, asset ownership, and land holdings to accurately determine the poverty status of applicants. This revision is necessary due to changes in individuals’ circumstances, such as increased income from vocational training or the death of some beneficiaries. In a statement, Chulapan spoke on the accuracy of the data in regards to the recipients. “After the government transferred 10,000 baht under the 2024 economic stimulus program to State Welfare Card holders and people with disabilities, concerns arose about the accuracy of the data. Questions emerged about whether some recipients were genuinely impoverished or disabled. Hence, it is crucial to consolidate the government welfare data for the targeted groups.” The Cabinet tasked the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) with overseeing this process. However, the Comptroller General’s Department will also be involved in gathering and integrating welfare data. Chulapan emphasised the importance of this data for studying the use of taxes to support low-income individuals, particularly those earning below the Negative Income Tax (NIT) threshold, which the Ministry of Finance aims to implement as a welfare system for the country’s low-income population. “The challenge with implementing NIT lies in the current disorganised state of welfare data. The success of NIT depends on a comprehensive and systematic database. Past studies have shown that incomplete data hinders the policy’s progress.” The initiative aims to streamline and verify the various types of welfare provided by different agencies. This will ensure the assistance reaches the correct target groups and aligns with the policy objectives. The review was prompted by findings that some individuals receive up to 10,000 baht per month in state welfare, necessitating an update to the information, reported KhaoSod.

WrLife still ok?
Indeed, it's a rabbit hole. I can't find Lorentz Capital LTD either. It lent money to the UK company. According to the statement, most of the equity is not cash in bank, so it's curious what is backing up the insurance company. As it is a mutualist model, policy holders own the company, and can earn "points" if they recruit customers. The registration in Nevis leads nowhere... Hard to find any details beyond a listing. But I suppose that's the point of registering an entity in the Caribbean. There's also a dormant company in the UK with 1M pounds capital. The ethical statement is just bizarre: "- Ethics Ethical solvency: our reserves and saving will be put in ethic assets with ethic partners. Ethical behaviour: we already have one Insurance licence and one Broker Licence, and we will get more. Ethical Employment: we want our staff to have shares also, and we will do our best to hold handicapped employees as well. Indeed even if we are participative, we do not avoid the capitalism and we must have profitability." It's all very curious. -
