Where'S My Tablet?

[Soi Sauce]

My kid wants to know where is the tablet his mother told him he would have when he went back to school.

She, surprisingly, cannot understand why she is not rich. It's more than 6 months since the election and she's worse off than before it, but she was told she'd be loaded by now.

She also asked why one of the people who promised all this are flying round the World, making more false promises to the Japanese and Koreans, and another one is using private jets to go to a football matche 10,000 km away,while those who voted this lot in go hungry due to the ever increasing costs of basics.

Somebody, please explain all this.

Human nature.

We're not ants. We do people over so we can be better off.

They are normally referred to as Politicians I believe.

Definition of a Politician is a person elected to public office on the basis he wont keep any election promises and ensure they becomes richer while the rest of us become poorer

Tell her she should not have voted for them.. and if she didnt vote for them she should have made more effort to get other people not to vote for them..... Jeeze it was inevitable that this would happen..

.

BUT look on the bright side...

its not so bad now.... its going to get worse in the next few months as the increased salary's start to bite and they can't sell the 8-10 million tons of rice that are stacking up....

But the otherside were probably offering less cash.

But hey, OP, if you like the exercise, keep doing it.

Ask the politicians, they were the ones promising these ridiculous goodies for school kids.

Children lead to read and write before worrying about computers and the like

Easy lots of news about the Teachers not wanting them + most Teachers over 40 have no idea how to use them

As for 'flying round the World' how long will they stay in power ? best get all the freebies first

Easy explanation, your wife voted for the wrong people, and is now learning this the hard way.

The problem is finding a halfway-honest politician, instead.

You cant use honest and Politician in the same sentence.

Be fair now, I said "halfway-honest" to set the hurdle sensibly-low, and had people like Chuwit & Abhisit & Korn in mind, the least-bad of a pretty poor bunch IMO.

I feel sorry for the 900,000 kids, who are about to share the OP's son's experience, and can only wonder what their parents plan to tell them ? Perhaps "But there IS No Father Christmas ?". Or "It's all the fault of the Chinese ?"

Tell your kid, this is because mama got 500 baht to sell her vote.

Maybe the other team didn't feel the need to buy their appreciation.
