Lottery sellers with disabilities worry about online plan

BANGKOK: -- The network of people with disabilities voiced their concerns on Tuesday about the government's online lottery plan, saying it would destroy the lottery-selling system and lead Thai society astray.

At the "Online Lottery: A Danger or an Opportunity for Thai Society" seminar Tuesday.

Representatives of lottery retailers said the new system would affect their earnings and lottery quota because they would not be able to compete with big players.

Senator Monthien Boontan said the online lottery would only benefit importers of the lotteryselling machines and adversely affect 400,000 lottery retailers' earnings. He added that the government also did not have any measures to find new careers for the retailers.

The seminar was hosted at the Parliament by the Senate Committee on Social Development, Women, Youth and Elderly Affairs and the Senate Committee on Human Rights and Consumer Protection.

46 million lottery tickets, or 460,000 books, were published for each round. Each provincial governor got 162,644 books, retailers 120,374 books, charity organisations and foundations 88,650 books, the Government Lottery Office Foundation got 30,032 books, the Comptroller General's Department got 30,000 books, and 25 juridical persons got a total of 28,000 books, he said.

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat. The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an

Seems to be a little clarity of the red card controversy involving the WC , Another thing not mention much is the final arbiter of the rules, FIFA,they made the decision.

Nigel Farage has declared earning £270,000 for promoting gold bullion, making it the largest outside payment he has registered since entering Parliament and reigniting scrutiny over his lucrative earnings beyond Westminster. The Reform UK leader disclosed the payment in the latest Register of Members' Financial Interests, stating it was for work as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion over a three-month period, averaging around four hours a month.

I detest Trump for a variety of reasons, and now he's given me one more. Despite the grave misgivings I, and many, many more, had going into this WC ( ICE, the visa issues, a top referee turned away, the treatment of the Iranian team etc.) the WC was turning into a great success, bringing people from all over the world together, including lots of Americans, many of who seemed to develop an interest in, and an enjoyment of, the beautiful game. Partly, this was because of an American side that pl

I think you did the right thing by speaking out here, Medimedia. I am truly sorry for you, and hope you can get some relief. I tried hard, between 2021 and 2023, to dissuade people from taking these shots, but unfortunately, it was largely to no avail. As you can see, those who are usually quick to come and give health advice in this subforum are nowhere to be seen in this thread. Nobody wants to hear or talk about the numerous injuries caused by the Covid vaccines. Have you tried any detox protocols? I assume you have, as you have been in contact with React19.

😂 Sure thing 😂 UEFA and the individual European football associations will take orders from the White House. Perhaps, Trump could pick Norway's team for them on Saturday (that should guarantee an England win). As for the media. I don't think that El Pais, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Libération and numerous others got the Don's missive. Anyway, please call it a day. My sides can't take much more😂

unblocktheplanet replied to kwilco's topic in General Topics

I have been reading a very thorough and interesting book by Donny Gluckstein, A People's History of the Second World War: Resistance versus Empire. Of course, the author quotes both Zinn and Terkel! The thesis is that two parallel wars were taking place. The official military war of Allies against Axis that was essentially a imperialist war from both sides. The second war was that waged by the underground people's resistance. Fascinating stuff. "The USA was equally cynical in its approach to peace. As one leading politician put it: ‘As things are now going, the peace we will make, the peace we seem to be making, will be a peace of oil, a peace of gold, a peace of shipping ... without moral purpose ... .’ Devoid of moral purpose, maybe, but Hull, Roosevelt’s Secretary of State, explained the USA would lead ‘a new system of international relationships ... primarily for reasons of pure national self-interest." That continues to this day.
