Poll: Who will Kamala Harris pick to be her VP?
Kelly would be my choice but he is a Senator and would have to give up his seat, another Democratic Senator will be appointed by the Democratic governor (Polis) , but whoever is appointed will be up for reelection during the mid-terms that would favor the opposition party, and the Democrats can't afford to lose a seat in the Senate. Shapiro seems to be the sweetheart of the Media, he would help with Ohio, but he would hurt for three reasons. He is Jewish and there those who will not vote for the ticket because of that, as unfortunate as it is, its true. . He is a strong supporter of Israel's policy toward the Palestinian, and there are many , including the youth vote who will not vote for someone who supports the genocide,and apartheid policies. And he is a strong supporter of school vouchers , that will put him at odds with the NEA (National teachers Union) IMO , if she picks Shapira, say hello to another four years of president trump. Tim Walz brings Minnesota to the table, has no negatives that I know of, He is very likable in a down to earth kind of way. Pete Buttigieg is Intelligent, articulate, and likable, other than that I am not sure what else he brings to the table as far as enhancing Harris' electability . I think he would be outstanding for a major cabinet appointment to build up his CV and a shot at the presidency in the future. I don't know enough about the rest to have an opinion. -

Thai woman loses 50,000 baht to boyfriend after 2 days of dating
It obviously must be described as her boyfriend. Because it would be illegal if he was her customer. It's hard these days for 18-year-old girls. 😉 -

Vatican Issues Rare Response to 'Last Supper' Segment in Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony
I think i understand why you changed the topic to attack the Vatican. I am sorry for your childhood abuse by priests that has scarred your entire life. But my reply as well as this topic had nothing to do about priests or the Olympics... It is a depiction of the Last Supper. Everyone knows it signifies the last supper of Jesus. So i was mocked by the Trans.. -

Everything's crashing - help!
The jobs report played a role, but it's looking to me like a lot of this sharp down draft has to do with the yen carry trade. In a nutshell, the unwinding of the yen carry trade is as follows. Foreigners borrowed money in yen because interest rates in Japan were so low. They used the borrowed "free" money to purchase stocks in the hopes of higher returns. Recently, the BOJ started raising interest rates which not only raised borrowing costs in Japanese yen, but has caused the yen to significantly appreciate. With the yen appreciating, the cost of repaying those loans in Japanese yen for foreign borrowers just got more expensive, and in a rush to close out those loans before the yen appreciates further, the assets which were purchased with this borrowed money are being liquidated, which is a big part of the reason why you are seeing these down drafts in the market just yet. Another indicator that the yen carry trade is what's behind the correction is that the US treasury market stabilized on Tuesday, with the short end of the yield curve actually rising. If fears of a recession were the primary driver behind the sell off, I believe you would have still been seeing bond yields dropping on Tuesday. A word to the Bitcoin fans: fasten your seatbelts. My suspicion is that a lot of that Yen carry trade speculative 'fast-money' investing had to have found its way into crypto-currencies, which is why you saw BTC plunge to around 50K yesterday, and I suspect it has further to go on the downside. -

Import to Thailand with Thai Post very slow?
Thanks for your comments. I know little about the shipping. This is a parcel from a Kickstarter project from a YouTuber. As far as I remember, I selected the cheapest shipping option, because I don't need this urgently. But until now, when I received anything from anywhere with the Thai Post, I don't remember that it was ever more than a week before I saw any shipping updates once it was on its way. I guess I will wait another week and if I don't see any updates then I will look what I can do about that. Here is what I see today: -
