Have Some More Rebar Baby, We Know How to Build them
Watch the Chinese Sock Puppets and Emojinauts go wild on this one. https://thehill.com/opinion/international/5256910-chinas-deceitful-and-disastrous-projects-in-latin-america-and-africa/ "Half-baked and shoddy projects, labor exploitation, debt traps and devastating environmental damage are part of the Chinese Communist Party portfolio. And people are noticing." Like the arrest of the Chinese construction dude by the Thais. Notice how the Chinese are being quiet about it? Usually the Chinese scream over everything...hmmmmmm.

Economy Wage Woes: US Tariffs Freeze Thai Minimum Wage Boost
File photo for reference only The eagerly awaited increase in Thailand's minimum wage to 400 baht has been put on hold, causing disappointment among workers eyeing a pay rise. In a meeting held by the tripartite board on Tuesday, the decision to implement this wage hike was delayed due to concern over the economic impacts of recent US tariff changes. The board has now postponed the next meeting to an unspecified date in May, leaving the wage hike promise in limbo. The meeting, led by Boonsong Thapchaiyuth, the Labour Ministry's permanent secretary, was plagued by reservations from employers' representatives. They voiced out that the economic landscape, especially with the recent US tariffs, makes it an unfavourable time to introduce a wage hike. Despite these setbacks, Boonsong highlighted that the tourism and service sectors might still have the capacity to afford the proposed increase as they are less impacted by the tariff issues. Employee representatives echoed similar concerns, suggesting the timing for a wage increase is less than ideal. Employers have expressed frustration with the government's lack of relief measures since the initial wage hike in January. Natthakit Khettrakarn, an employers' group spokesperson, pointed out the significant burden on businesses, compounded by the hefty 36% US levy on Thai imports. Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn had indicated earlier that the details of the wage hike would be resolved in an April meeting. However, due to insufficient attendance, the decision has been delayed to April 22, pushing back the potential implementation further. Phiphat expressed worry that a nationwide wage surge might negatively impact around 500,000 small and medium-sized businesses across Thailand. Employers are asking for more clarity and possibly support from the government as they navigate these turbulent economic waters, while workers await the board’s final decision with bated breath. How the government navigates these choppy economic waters could have significant ramifications on both businesses and workers in the coming months.
