People who support Cashless Society, you are a disease.
The OP presents an image of an someone who is afraid of advances and who is unable to understand the benefits cashless transactions bring to the marketplace. No more time wasted on tills counting change, reduced likelihood of petty thefts , reduced likelihood of armed robbery and an ease of administration. The paranoid scenarios described are all possible now in a world where cash can still be used. The only place I still have to use cash is in Thailand and it is a nuisance. I just don't like handling currency, particularly in places where their are infectious diseases. The sooner Thailand moves to POS technology, the easier it will be. I am an honest person and pay my taxes, so I have no need to hide my transactions in bitcoin or cash. The only bonafide reason to maintain some cash capability is to respond when there is a power failure and e commerce cannot be pursued. As e commerce systems become more redundant and safer, the risk reduces. As it is now, even in a cash option society, , we cannot access the cash in saving institutionswhen there is a power failure because the withdrawals cannot be processed. -

Moroccan Man Wanted for Murder of Dr. Sammy, Owner of Well Known Chiang Mai Clinic
He probably took the first flight out of Bangkok. He’s had three days to disappear , I doubt he’s still in Hong Kong. -

Senator John Fetterman Calls for Pardon for Donald Trump
he does but not under the federal system which is all Biden can pardon. His state matter has been delayed because it is likely to get thrown out but the dems need it to stay around so they can rub themselves while saying convicted felon with a cringy lustful lisp. -

Foreign Pilot Approval Raises Concerns for Thai Aviation
Because you are making a nonsensical reference? Can you recall any German physicians being mentioned in the Topeka Flower Festival Journal? Consider the relevance. OK, but that has nothing to do with the use of wet leases. When an airline is entering into a wet lease, it is replacing or supplementing operational capacity. It's no different than hiring a mover. The mover brings the necessary equipment and employees to get the job done for the short term job. When the job is done, they go home. In a scenario involving the hiring of pilots, the airline has to keep them or to furlough them and that is an expensive undertaking. Your point may be partially true, but that is not why there are pilot shortages. As you may recall, we recently went through Covid. As a result, many of the largest airlines either suspended operations or cut back capacity to the bare minimum. Air travel did not recover immediately after the pandemic eased. That's almost 3 years of reduced demand, in some regions a 75% reduction in passenger air travel. The net result was that; - There were large scale pilot layoffs and furloughs. - Training programs were suspended, experience hours unavailable - Some of the most senior pilots took the opportunity to take early retirement, while other older pilots exercised their seniority rights to continue flying. - Scheduled maintenance and upgrades were delayed or postponed - As travel demand recovered, pilots were called back, but needed time to recertify and to take the necessary refresher hours in the flight simulators. This took time. - The older pilots who stayed, are now leaving or getting ready to leave the workforce. Unlike pre-covid times, there isn't a large pool of pilots ready to replace them. - On top of everything is a worldwide surge in travel demand. It will take 3-5 years to address the pilot shortage, and then we will be back to a surplus of qualified people and the cycle will then repeat itself. -

I think people joke about it because they don't understand the impact it puts on our privacy and freedoms. In China it is almost always cashless now. They always pay with Wechat. If the world gets to that point, then you will no longer have control over your money. It will always be monitored and your spending will be monitored and analyzed and judged by a central government. Say you don't care? You will care when they block your bank account for some stupid reason.- 1

Perhaps it would be best all around if they used Thai made airliners as well as pilots.
