Musk should not have access to the White house. He should go back to S Africa.

USA Trump's Summer Surge: Wins at Home and Abroad Mark a Golden Moment for the President
There has been a string of victories for the administration of late. hard fought to get some of them. And I will withhold judgement on the Big Bill just passed. Waiting to see out 5 years how his economic policies really work. Those who think they really know are guessing. Might be he restarted the US economy and helped the lower and middle classes massively. Might be not. We shall see. He has had one major loss that isn't getting any playing time around here. Elon Musk disagrees massively with Trumps economic bill/plan and has parted ways to the extent of announcing a new political party in the US. Anyone who doubts Elon can successfully do so hasn't paid attention to his past achievements. The gist of it is it will appeal mostly to those who are economically conservative. This will peel off a number of voters from the GOP resulting in handing elections to the DEM party. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5386557-musk-announces-america-party/ I don't think he really has time to make it significant in the near term midterm elections but the 2028 Presidential elections he might be ramped up to impact. -

Analysis Thaksin’s 7 Political Mistakes: From Mastermind to Trapped Player
Picture courtesy of Siam Rath ANALYSIS Thaksin Shinawatra's recent political manoeuvres have drawn scrutiny, highlighting seven key missteps in his approach to leadership and strategy. 1. Using Family as a Political Tool: Pushing Paetongtarn Shinawatra forward as Prime Minister amidst unresolved legal issues and public dissent might seem like a short-term victory for the family. However, this risks dragging his daughter into a political storm, where her every move is perceived as under Thaksin's influence, affecting her ability to establish her leadership image. 2. Failing to Maintain Political Distance: Instead of stepping back to manage his reputation and legal challenges wisely, Thaksin chose an active role, engaging with major issues, liaising with power holders, and sending signals through close politicians. This approach positioned him as a target for frequent attacks from both opponents and neutral groups that once offered support. 3. Underestimating Global Dynamics: Critics point to Thaksin's reliance on outdated strategies amidst regional changes, including Thai-Cambodian relations, the US stance towards Southeast Asia, and China's new role. His negotiations with Hun Sen, while seemingly rekindling old ties, are viewed as opening avenues for foreign intervention in Thai interests, leading to international security scrutiny. 4. Overconfidence in Political Return: Returning to the political scene with the confidence of someone who once controlled the system, Thaksin neglected how swiftly the world had evolved. 5. Misjudging Rapid Political Changes: There was a failure to assess the rapid evolution of the political landscape in Thailand accurately. 6. Ignoring Modern Influences: He overlooked the power of public sentiment, social media, judiciary influence, and international relations in shaping today’s politics. 7. Risk of Leading Network to a Dead End: By not adjusting strategies to current realities, Thaksin risks endangering not just himself but his entire political network. Conclusion: Familiarity Becoming a Trap Thaksin's oversight wasn't simply strategic misjudgement but a failure to assess the new political landscape adequately. Without adapting strategies to contemporary contexts, he risks more than personal failure, potentially leading his political network into a challenging dead end.

Is private health insurance worth it for a long-term stay in Thailand?
THe problem for most expats is they don't have sufficient cover - they don't anticipate wat they need. THe truth is that once over 60 people become more and more of a drain of the local healthcare systems - and many require treatment for chronic illness - and about half the prople over 70 will get some form of cancer, Oeople are living longer and getting more diseases - THai hospitals are almost totally without ethics - old expats admitted without insurance are given minimal treat until they conveniently waste away - with the right insurance they might live a full life for another decade or ore
