Thai doctor vows to create "Hitler Room" to gas hospital smokers
I believe that having less patients per day is more quality time for each patient thus promoting correct and caring diagnosis. Too often patients are treated as inorganic blobs on an assembly line. -

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
It has trouble to clear the 2500 hurdle, that is a strong number, so it can take some doing. But it will go up. With the dollar falling after the interest rate cuts, it would be strange if Gold did not go up. -

Do You Believe: Next year, and the next, will be HOTTER than 2024?
Why do you think I chose to live in Chiang Rai? Climate was definitely a factor. I would not live in Bangkok without aircon 24/7. Check out Mt. Bartle Frere in Queensland. It's an extreme example of orographic rainfall, 160 inches a year. -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
Again, this is the world of the handful of Farangs who have been paying Thai income tax in past years. For the rest of us, even if we wanted to file a tax return, just obtaining a tax ID could be impossible. For most of us, discussions about tax rates and DTAs are moot. -

Trump Pledges to Restore Free Speech, Labels 'Fake News' a Threat to the Nation
You sure about that? In today’s 6–3 decision, the Court held that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that they had suffered or likely would suffer harm as a result of the federal government’s communications with social-media platforms. It also ruled any such alleged harm would not be solved by the injunction sought by the plaintiffs. Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett noted that the record in this case indicated that platforms regularly consulted with a variety of outside experts, including federal Executive-Branch officials, about content-moderation decisions, and that platforms “continued to exercise their independent judgment” even after those conversations. https://www.freepress.net/news/press-releases/supreme-court-ruling-murthy-missouri-affirms-first-amendment -

White House Condemns Tucker Carlson’s Interview with Holocaust Denier
From your own link: "The Soviet POWs were the first to feel this. Within a few months two million of the 3.35 million prisoners, that had been imprisoned until the end of 1941, died from cachexia due to insufficient food rations, lack of medical care and lacking protection against heat and cold. " So this exactly what Cooper was talking about. It indeed seems logical that once some Soviet POWs were transferred to the Reich their food rations and general conditions improved. In other words, food in Germany was more available than in some remote recently conquered part of Soviet Russia. This also explains in part (there are are other reasons) why only 3.5 percent of American/Canddian/UK etc POWs, perished, but so many more Soviet POWs died, more than 50%.. However, we're not really talking about Germany, we're talking about the situation in the territory conquered from the Soviet Union and other parts of Eastern Europe. It was not the same situation there as was found in Germany. "Starvation and its associated illnesses killed about 20 million people in Europe and Asia during World War II, approximately the same as the number of soldiers killed in battle. Most of the deaths from starvation in Europe were in the Soviet Union and Poland, countries invaded by Germany and occupied in whole or part during the war." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_agriculture_in_Nazi_Germany Since starvation did kill 20 million people during WWII Cooper seems to have been correct, that this was one of the main, but forgotten issues. Quite perspicacious of him. And indeed he was also correct in that the majority of those deaths were in Soviet Russia, ie Russians and Russian POWs. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Not true to my understanding, however I could be wrong . USA exchanges date to my understanding with several countries like Germany, Singapore and others. Example: https://www.iras.gov.sg/news-events/newsroom/entry-into-force-of-reciprocal-fatca-iga-with-the-united-states-of-america
