Far-right activists from Germany spent US election day at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
Worst part of German history. What troubles me as a German is that the Germans do not understand that national socialism and left socialism are very similar and lead to the same problems as they both stress the collective over the individual. -

Private Sector Opposes Uniform 400-Baht Minimum Wage Proposal File photo for reference only The private sector has voiced significant concerns over the government's proposal to implement a fixed minimum wage of 400 baht across Thailand, fearing potential negative repercussions for businesses. Sanan Angubolkul, chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking, emphasised today that the minimum wage should account for the distinct economic conditions of each province. He urged the Tri-partite Wage Committee to respect the suggestions made by the provincial wage subcommittees, advocating against a one-size-fits-all approach.

LTR Visa - stoked!
Didn't you beat this dead horse in another thread? Didn't the Royal Decree say remitted income by LTR holders is not taxable. And if certain income is deemed not taxable, it can no longer -- ipso facto -- be considered assessable income, as that term becomes meaningless if no taxation is attached to it. Give this line of concern a break. As a Wealthy Pensioner LTR visa holder, no taxes and no tax return are due. BoI folks have already expressed this fact to some who have asked -- why do you go on about this? Why do you worry about not filing a null tax return -- when clearly no tax evasion, by definition, has taken place? -

Private Sector Opposes Uniform 400-Baht Minimum Wage Proposal
File photo for reference only The private sector has voiced significant concerns over the government's proposal to implement a fixed minimum wage of 400 baht across Thailand, fearing potential negative repercussions for businesses. Sanan Angubolkul, chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking, emphasised today that the minimum wage should account for the distinct economic conditions of each province. He urged the Tri-partite Wage Committee to respect the suggestions made by the provincial wage subcommittees, advocating against a one-size-fits-all approach. Sanan clarified that while the private sector supports initiatives to enhance workers' livelihoods through wage adjustments, a uniform rate could misalign with economic variations nationwide. He cited that a vast majority of provincial subcommittees—around 90%—consider the proposed 400-baht wage as disconnected from regional realities. In light of global economic uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and climate change, increasing the minimum wage to a flat rate could elevate production costs, diminishing the competitiveness of Thai products on the international stage. This move could adversely affect vital sectors like agriculture and services, potentially leading to job losses or even business failures. Sanan called on the National Wage Committee to provide compelling justification for the nationwide wage proposal. Rather than a blanket wage increase, the private sector suggests aligning pay with skill levels, advocating for improved skill development among Thai workers to better meet various industry needs. -- 2024-12-09
