Total lack of education......SIL just had a kid....wife picked them up from hospital...two our drive.....she travelled in the front of the car with the baby on her lap.....WT....?? BUT.....in the 60's I would travel the same way ......two seater sports car, me and my mum squeezed into the front passenger seat and we never gave it a second thought. -

Brian Thompson’s killing sparks outrage over state of US healthcare
If the assassin is never found (and thus cant be smeared/vilified) he is likely to go down in history as a folk hero judging from social media. The health insurance industry might want to reflect on what got us to this point. Seems Blue Cross suddenly reversed its decision to make people pay for anesthesia if surgery went over a preset time. How did that fit in with the concept of Insurance. It seems they are dictating one sided terms that suit only them and their profitability. That is not insurance. -

Is 1 million baht enough to retire in Thailand?
I do not have that much in savings - I have maybe 500k in uk bank and 160k here in Thailand, I do not get my UK pension for another 6.5 years. However I have enough money coming in due to early 55 year pension and renting out my UK home fir a daft amount (70k sh). I planned to have money in older age and finish work early - I have my 35 years national insurance paid for my full uk pension. 1 million baht with no other income is near impossible to retire here - but it would be more than enough if you had - like me - other income. Rent of reasonable house would be 10k a months , 120k a year and that's a;; your money gone in rent alone. I would suggest it would be possible on 5 million with no income for 14 years , but less and you are in the crapper very quickly. -

Brian Thompson’s killing sparks outrage over state of US healthcare
Quite the contrary. It's working exactly as planned for the big insurance companies. After all, remember where the money comes from. America seems to have the best congress that money can buy and insurance companies have good lobbyists with lots of money to throw around. Anyone who has ever worked in DC will be happy to tell you stories about lobbyists. They're everywhere. Even at congressional staff nights on the town, there's always some guy there with a nice credit card to pay for everything. It happens every day. -

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
What planet do you live on? Thais jump through the same, or more, hoops than we do to move to another country. The ones that have done it are working a lot harder to maintain their status than you ever will... Many Thai's can travel to the UK at their convenience, obtaining a 10-year is straightforward - it was for my Wife, it was for many of my Thai friends, it was for many of the Thai wives of many friends. MalcolmB's point primarily applies to less affluent Thais who'd struggle to afford the flight ticket in the first place. A quick look at the phenomenon of "Phi-Noi" (Little Ghosts), shows the significant number of Thais working illegally in countries like South Korea and illustrates why nations with higher minimum wages adopt more cautious visa policies. This context is conveniently ignored by those such as MalcomB pushing a biased agenda. -
