So much staff everywhere ... what is behind it?
Coming from a western European country, one of the things that amazes me the most in Thailand is the abundance of staff everywhere: at the airports, at bigger shops, in the malls etc. Certainly staff in Europe is not so easy to come by and it is a big expense. Now I know Thailand has a very low minimum wage and relatively more young people than Europe. And also Thailand is more service-minded for sure. But for me this is not enough of an explanation. This weekend when we were at HomePro and looking around me in 360 degrees I saw about 20 staff members, all doing absolutely nothing. Earlier, when we were looking at vacuum cleaners, there were about 15 other staff standing around. Most of them do nothing. It was not busy in the shop. So cheap labor or not, it seems that having so much staff around is an absolute waste of money. My girlfriend suggested that having a certain number of staff might give the company some additional tax benefits or increase the company's value. What is the true reason there is so much staff everywhere? -

Thai Officials Face Probe Over Fatal School Bus Inferno
- Someone in a position of authority at the school was responsible for hiring the bus company - was any due diligence carried out checking service records etc ? or did they just go for the cheapest option, no questions asked. - Either a valid inspection was carried out (every 6 months) and the modifications were made after the latest inspection - in which case the owner is responsible. - Or, a valid inspection was carried out, but that inspection was 'faked' or 'poorly carried out' and missed the retrofitted tanks (or was paid to ignore them) - in which case, inspectors and owner is responsible. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Man, no propaganda for you 🙂 I am sure you will not support our shining leader whatever I tell you here. That`s why I did not tell you that the elections was stolen - I just explained you why z guys don`t not trust the results. "Why not going back and help the Z boys" I can ask you the same question. But I will answer instead. Have you ever thought that what is happening looks extremely strange - the country with the largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons is forced to defend the Kursk region with the help of North Korean soldiers and Chinese drones made in Iran? In a normal situation, countries with such weapons stockpiles can resolve all wars near their borders with one phone call. So the main problem is not on the frontlines. The main problem is in Moscow. Putin wants the country to behave similarly to USSR, but the elites want to get the US visa to visit their wives and sons in New York and Los Angeles. Although it is not said, this is in fact a civil war and its outcome depends on which side the citizens of Russia will take. Therefore, in order to win, it is important to wage a propaganda war among the citizens of Russia. -

Trump Works at McDonald’s claims Kamala Harris 'never has
I never said it did. It reflects what I made that year and I only workded at a McD's. So you were wrong to call the statement about my life "BS". So quick to attack? So read it again. -

Thai Officials Face Probe Over Fatal School Bus Inferno
i don’t disagree.. unfortunately given the depth and breadth of the investigation (as reported) there’s lots of “room” for a suitable person/people - to be found guilty of dereliction of duty if you will. -

Kamala Harris Just Got Some Great News
'Vice President Kamala Harris may have better odds in the presidential election than previously predicted. A poll published Monday by the Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago suggests that Harris has more than a marginal lead in favorability over the Republican presidential nominee, but is actually surging by double digits.'
