Trump is getting massive investments
Since I'm not going to sit through a 41 minute video or any part of it, what I do know is that CEOs are playing Trump's policies. In fact, the indications are that businesses are holding back on spending since they don't know what new surprises Trump is going to spring on them, The Wall St Journal did a report on Apple's $500 billion investment plan. Apple said it was a response to Trump. The Wall St. Journal noted that the projection in spending was in line with what Apple had spent before. All Apple had to do was to give credit to Trump. It cost them nothing. in Trump did subsequently cancel the huge tariffs on Apple products imported from China, Quid pro quo? Who knows? -

Report Thai Engineer Scammed Out of 8 Million Baht in Elaborate Scheme
There was a very informative podcast in the Economist recently, "Scam Inc.", about the scam factories. One of the most important lessons: anybody can fall for it, a CEO, an IT specialist, a banker... A famous case (reported all over the media) was an experienced American banker who got scammed out of 40 million USD. Industrial scam is like a weapon. And like you have no chance of defense against a gun, you are defenseless against professional scammers. Don't think you are too smart. I know it's hard to acknowledge, but you are not. -

Dog attacked the neighbours today. Made me smile.
I don't know what you call animal abuse, but one person in my Thai family keeps her cats locked up in a small cage and only let out ones a day, but puts them on a leash. I find it disgusting, but what would I know? I am just a Farang. -

Report Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
There is a flipside to that. A ruling in the 1970s meant that 6th Formers receive a NI credit. No credit is paid while in full time university education. So someone could go to Uni, progress to an advanced degree, land a job in the Middle East. Work the next 40 years in Kuwait, tax free. At the end of it all, buy a home in the old country and retire there, to live out a very comfortable existance. From day 1; full access to the NHS, despite having practically contributed nothing to it. British expats might continue to pay income and other taxes, but they haven't paid any VAT. A bigger issue is how the state pension is funded, or any of the state pensions, eg MOD pensions. There are also 4 different NHSs, with differing access rules, because of the powers that have been devolved. -
