Thats what happens when you just sit and cut and paste all day.

Talk about ignorance. You post a piece from cbs news and you claim science. You lack any understanding and a shred of knowledge of what science is other than what you pick up from the media, and most certainly you’re unable to decipher a scientific article and break it down objectively in layman terms for the average reader.

So, if I were to cite reputable scientific sources as the source of my data, you wouldn't reject that as being politically motivated hogwash?

If that's what you call using citing sound econometric data instead of someone's alleged personal experience, you've made an excellent point. Or maybe you're just allergic to real data.

There are no reputable scientific sources, they've all been politicized.

Your data is about the USA, we all live in Thailand!

My coffee costs 40bht in my local rural coffee shop, same as it has for the past 10 years.

A coffee at Hom Coffee by the moat in CM is still 25-30bht, same as it was 10 years back.

Local beans are relatively stable in pricing. But just to mention that Coffee from the South is mostly bitter Robusta. The good Arabica is mostly grown in the North.

Thailand doesn’t produce enough coffee to meet its own demand:

And there is a separate section of this website that deals with Thai issues. https://aseannow.com/forum/18-thailand-news/

Make your points there.

Anything written or cited by anyone who doesn’t have the ability to decipher raw data automatically defaults to hagwash. It looks imbecilic and is utterly stupid to those of us who actually made a living at. And what that is for folks such as yourself, you’re simply incapable of differentiating “shown” from proof, you don’t have the skills.

I don't spend every day of my life making Trump is Satan posts. 

I don't care about the price of coffee in the USA, as I don't live there.

Double yawn. Coffee prices are through the roof everywhere and climate change as it is used by the Socialists is a hoax.

 

The coffee I buy from the roasters here is up $1. No tariff or even borders between here and Mondulkiri

Making personal comments shows just how resourceless you are. No matter what my skills may be, are you claiming that the scientists who offer such conclusions are also ignorant?

Thanks once again for your reflexive use of the word Socialists to mean anyone you disagree with. The core of Socialism is the belief that government should control the means of production. Maybe like taking shares in a corporatio and ordering a corporation not to close down a manufacturing site.

Trump invokes 'golden share' to block U.S. Steel plans for Illinois plant, WSJ reports

The Trump administration blocked U.S. Steel's plan to shut down production at one of its plants in Illinois, flexing its so-called golden share authority, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
U.S. Steel, now owned by Tokyo-based Nippon Steel(5401.T)
, opens new tab, said in a statement on Friday that it has reversed its decision to shut down the plant, which employs nearly 800 workers.

All your posts (under all your usernames) have been Trump hate posts.

Political soapbox isn't just about hating Trump.

Sort of surprising since you're a Brit.

LIke many Presidents have done. Hell, Im old enough to remember things like Federalized National guardsmen walking schoolkids to school, Presidents ending strikes, etc.

 

Of course, your heroes give moneys to corporations and watch them go bankrupt.

Really? Other presidents have had the US take shares in company and then invoked their right based on that business deal to block the owners from taking action?

And thanks for your homegrown definition of Socialism. Got any reputable source to back you up on that?

The objective statement is that you are ignorantly incapable of vetting and validating a raw scientific data in an article, plain and simple.

Socialism/Communism/Fascism are different names for totalitarian governments with the same aims.

Essentially rival criminal gangs trying to have total control over their citizens.

Well, if that's true, and since Trump is practicing socialism now, I guess we can conclude that Trump is essentially a socialist/communist/fascist. Thanks for the enlightenment.
