Thai Consumer Confidence Hits 17-Month Low in September
Thai consumer confidence has hit a 17-month low, marking a seventh consecutive month of decline as concerns about sluggish economic growth and severe flooding cast a shadow over the outlook. This info was unveiled today, October 10, by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. The university's latest survey reveals that their September consumer index fell to 55.3, down from 56.5 in August. The economic challenges are weighing heavily on consumer sentiment, despite recent government efforts to inject life into the economy with handouts for vulnerable populations. Flooding has become a significant concern, having not only disrupted daily life but also dampened optimism, overshadowing positive impacts of government initiatives. University President Thanavath Phonvichai indicated that these natural disasters have exacerbated the public’s economic worries, limiting the positive impact of financial aid schemes. In response, the Thai government announced the first phase of its substantial 450 billion baht (approximately $14 billion) stimulus handout plan. Launched last month, this initiative aims to rejuvenate economic activity by providing around 45 million people with a 10,000 baht ($298) cash boost to spend within six months. The rollout began with over 14.5 million welfare card holders and disabled individuals receiving their cash payments. This scheme is designed to act as a catalyst for economic revitalisation in Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy, which reported a modest growth of 2.3% in the second quarter of 2024. The central bank maintains a conservative forecast of 2.6% growth for the year, following a 1.9% growth rate in 2023 that lagged behind other regional economies. With uncertainty looming, the Thai government hopes this injection will steer the economy back on track, reported Reuters. Picture courtesy: Thailand Business News -- 2024-10-11 -

Not surprising given that trump is a lying grifter, conman, tax fraud, twice convicted felon, murderer, rapist, pedo, and most likely a closet homosexual having an affair on his wife with elon musk. Not to mention his orange spray paint and that toupee he wears. 20-24 years in prison. This message was approved by swifties 4 lyfe, go kamala!- 2

Jack Smith’s Struggle in Pursuing Trump: A Fumbling Legal Strategy?
Smith is operating within the law it’s extra difficult with a crooked judge (cannon) and the supreme courts ruling on immunity+ the wealth and position of trump.In my opinion after he loses he will pay consequences 34 felonies and counting well over 500 million in fines and counting……+ all the cases the traitor is facing that haven’t been to court.it’s inexcusable these cases haven’t been adjucated before the election! -

White Culture
Same problem in America - because of PC woke NO ONE is allowed to joke about ANYTHING or anyone claiming mUh viCtim StaTUs . So NO jokes are allowed to be made about about wimmin, blacks, asians, gypsies, jews, indians, old people, the short, the tall, people with big feet, people with big noses, stupid people, queer people, gay people, smelly people, posh people and so on. Interestingly it's still open season on whites AND men - so trashing / dunking on white men - even old white men is perfectly acceptable. Joking or poking at ANYTHING ELSE is forbidden on TV hence u get the impression that UK talent has dried up. It hasn't irl. People are still funny but they aren't allowed to get on. WOKE HAS KILLED THE JOKE. Andrew Lawrence is an example of a comedian who was cancelled by the BBC et al for being 'unwoke'. His stand up IS decent but his youtube channel is not comedy based - just a wry look at what's going on in the UK that UK readers might appreciate) This isn't a funny 'bit' but he explains woke hypocrisy that kills comedy. Below that Rowan explains why free speech is an imperative. Sadly pubs and twitter X seem to be the only public places and spaces where people can actually say what's on the mind. Current UK Govt is working to end that tho by banning smoking in pub gardens are generally legislating pubs out of business. The battle continues.... SPEAK YA CLOUT!
