3BB internet out almost 24 hours now, S. Pattaya
You're only guessing about parts and technicians. When we had really bad flooding a few months ago, it was down for 4 days. I generally find them to be quite good. It is what is it is. You either have to put up with it or find another option if there's one available. -

Thailand grants citizenship to half a million people – but not farangs
What keeps wages low isnt immigration, though the billionaires who own the media want you to think so. "It's not us, look, it's those guys over there!" But in fact it's the selfishness of the billionaires whose business methods follow the "stretch and squeeze" doctrine, cutting wages and increasing profits for the guys at the top. That's why wages are low. -

Trump statue in Philadelphia commemorates ‘a lifetime of sexual assault’
Perhaps you should begin distancing yourself, emotionally, from the suspense of this 2024 election. Nobody wants to see you blow a gasket when the results are finally tallied. (Just a friendly word of advice, take it or leave it....) -

Migrant Citizenship Plan Sparks Debate as Thai Govt Holds Firm
File photo: Value In a move that has sparked heated debate, the Thai government has stood by its controversial decision to grant citizenship to approximately 483,000 long-term migrants and ethnic minority residents. This policy, endorsed by the cabinet in recent days, aims to resolve longstanding citizenship and residency issues whilst removing bureaucratic barriers that hindered their economic contribution. Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra announced the policy, emphasising that it aligns with current laws and is intended to both streamline administrative processes and fuel economic growth. However, this decision has met with opposition, with critics arguing it serves political ends rather than national interests. Direkrit Janekrongtham, a former senator, expressed concern on social media platforms, suggesting that citizenship could lead to extensive political and economic rights for the new citizens, potentially skewing political affiliations in favour of governing parties. He questioned whether the government prioritises national welfare over political gains, noting that the policy could enable these new citizens to vote and engage fully in Thailand’s political landscape. In response, Interior Ministry spokeswoman Traisulee Taisaranakul clarified that the policy does not disregard existing rules but seeks to expedite the processing of citizenship applications in line with international human rights principles. She reassured that those granted citizenship who subsequently pose a threat to national security could have their citizenship revoked. Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai echoed this sentiment by defending the policy's intention to expedite the naturalisation process whilst adhering to the law. Proposed by the National Security Council (NSC), this initiative affects more than 480,000 individuals who either entered Thailand before 1999 or were born there, with current regulations hampering their ability to lead productive lives. With criticisms mounting, government spokesman Jirayu Huangsab highlighted the policy's efficiency improvements, stating it replaces a previous 2021 resolution, significantly reducing the protracted timeline for status confirmation. This revised framework permits applicants to self-certify eligibility, eliminating cumbersome evaluations by various agencies. As the debate ensues, the policy remains a focal point of contention, balancing human rights and national interest, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-01 -

Why do decent Americans support trump
https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/2845/ Wrong, right, only for those making more than $400,000, wrong, wrong. You've been brainwashed my friend Of course I do (I note you, so far, don't) 1. She's sane (kind of important quality to have) 2. She will continue to support Ukraine and wider Europe against Putin's aggression 3. She is going to put more pressure on Netanyahu than Trump will (she's the least worst option) 4. She has proposed sound pro business policies (e.g. $50,000 tax break for new business) 5. She supports (and will attempt to codify) a woman's right to choose 6. She has proposed sound home ownership policies 7. She will continue successful Biden policies (Infrastructure / Student Debt forgiveness etc..) 8. She is more likely to fix the Supreme Court situation (excessive politicisation / ethical breaches by sitting judges) 9. She will protect the Affordable Care Act (Trump wants to end it) 10. She will raise taxes on those earning above $400,000 - not those making less as trump did when he was president 11. Finally and most importantly - I believe she will concede if she loses (i.e. she believes in the constitution)
