Report Thailand Classifies Air Purifiers, Vacuums as Controlled Goods
Photo courtesy of Phillips In a decisive move to protect consumers and combat PM2.5 air pollution, Thailand's Cabinet has categorised vacuum cleaners and air purifiers as controlled goods. This regulation, advised by the Ministry of Commerce, is designed to prevent price exploitation and ensure these vital tools remain accessible. Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan underscored their importance in mitigating air pollution's harmful effects, particularly in homes. The regulation targets inflated prices and hoarding practices, making offenders liable to severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment. As part of broader consumer protection, the government's action highlights these devices' critical role in public health. The controls apply specifically to certain air purifiers and vacuums with defined specifications. Sellers must report product details to the Department of Internal Trade monthly. This initiative builds on existing regulations of controlled goods, ensuring fair pricing amidst rising pollution challenges. Consumers suspecting unfair treatment are encouraged to report concerns via the DIT hotline, reinforcing efforts to maintain affordability and access to essential air quality products.

Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932 - Always Winning: Tired of Winning!
A quote from the article linked to: "President Trump told reporters "I have no intention of firing" Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell even though he wants the policymaker to lower interest rates, making the comment less than a week after Trump asserted on social media that "Powell's termination cannot come fast enough." -

Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932 - Always Winning: Tired of Winning!
April isn't over yet, is it? And so far today, it looks like it's going to be another good day. The market could be bottoming here. Somehow, I got lucky, and I'm currently ahead YTD. And super fantastic for the last 12 months. Trump and Xi are supposed to meet in May, and if they settle the tariff thing to everyone's satisfaction, the market will be on its way up again, at least for the time being. The Ukraine war should be over soon, and the only other problem in the world is the Middle East and the Neocons that want to drag the US into WWIII. If that happens, none of us will be around too much longer to worry about the markets. -

How about a pause on making personal attacks on members via allegations that are unproveable and instead focusing on the issues? Personal attacks are the province of those who have nothing relevant to offer.- 2

Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
All three of us (Stiddle Mump, Rattlesnake and myself) paid the price during the last 3-4 yours of being censored on AN. with our posts being deleted and us getting frequent 'holidays' to repent the sin of speaking our mind. So, I am grateful that AseanNow has created this FreeSpeech zone, with no moderator content-interference. Of course, any stance that goes against the 'accepted narrative' from 'trustworthy sources' is still automatically considered a Conspiracy Theory at AN, so our Covid/vax/pandemic posts find themselves in the company of mystery threads genre 'Aliens Abducted My Stepmother'.
