Thailand aims to eradicate poverty in two years
How did I make your case? You stated "For those wondering, the poverty threshold in China is about 9 yuan ($1.25) a day." The World Bank uses "equivalent of US$1.90 or less per day" for the poverty line. China's measure is "more stringent than that of the World Bank: earning less than $2.30 a day". So you're saying "try to live on 16 RMB/day?" It's possible, otherwise there would be no surviving Chinese living below the extreme poverty line. That doesn't mean comfortable, just possible. Subsistence farmers in poor villages in Outer Nowhereia can do just that, raise a poor family on 500 RMB/month. Or their kids can migrate to Shenzhen and work in FoxConn factories making 5000-7000 RMB/month "slave wages" for a few years, return home and live like kings. In 1990 there were more than 750 million people in China living below the international poverty line - about two-thirds of the population. By 2012, that had fallen to fewer than 90 million, and by 2016 - the most recent year for which World Bank figures are available - it had fallen to 7.2 million people (0.5% of the population). https://www.bbc.com/news/56213271 -

Billy Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" - is it better than anything by the Beatles?
Just listened to Ms Eilish on Y Tube. If that's the best song you can come up with, I feel sorry for you. Such obvious rhymings, a rather boring melody and a 5hitty video. So many better songs in the last 60 years, too many to mention. -

Thai tax riddle: Elite Visa holders off the hook?
Huh? There is nothing "controversial" about the Elite visa, it is a legitimate visa that has no more controversy than any other visa/extension. -

Billy Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" - is it better than anything by the Beatles?
Each to their own. I personally prefer The Beach Boys for their (Brian's) musical ability, although they all shone later on. And then we have Abba, the Carpenters, etc, all brilliant. -

Thai Businesses Battle Severe Flood Damage and Disruptions
Shins were in charge in 2011. There was flooding after that, of course, but nothing on the scale of 2011 or what we see today, when the Shins are once again back in charge of flood prevention. -

Man Dies After Attack by Mixed-Breed Stray Dogs in Ubon Ratchathani
Also Thailand is a majority Buddhist country and that is why killing live animals is a taboo . That is also why abortion is illegal and no self respecting doctor is willing to do the deed.
