Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
Tariffs will hurt American consumers and components importers. Brings inflation, retaliation and possible trade wars, reduced economic activity and breaking of trust with trading partners. Terrible misreading of basic economics. -

Bangkok Building Collapse Sets Unwanted World Records
Pictures courtesy of Matichon Thailand faces global scrutiny after the new State Audit Office (SAO) building in Bangkok collapsed, setting grim world records: it's the tallest building to fall in an earthquake and the furthest from an epicenter to suffer such a fate. The March 28 earthquake in Myanmar caused severe tremors, tragically affecting the SAO building, with many deaths and injuries reported, and workers still missing. Serious questions about Thailand's building safety standards and disaster readiness have emerged. On April 2, Professor Pen-Nung Wanichchai, Earthquake Research Centre Director, explained that Bangkok's soft soil intensified the tremors by three to four times. Combined with low-frequency waves affecting tall buildings more, this led to the SAO’s downfall. International experts confirmed the building set disconcerting records. Prof. Pen-Nung stressed that although this is a dubious distinction, it showcases the vulnerability of Thailand's infrastructure. Despite laws requiring seismic-resistant designs for tall buildings, the collapse suggests serious enforcement issues. Thailand's slow SMS-based earthquake warning system failed to alert citizens promptly. Prof. Pen-Nung and Associate Professor Seri Supratid of Rangsit University called for a comprehensive review of disaster preparedness, focusing on improving building designs and public education on emergency response. The tragedy exposed major gaps in safety protocols and awareness, prompting experts to urge immediate government action. As Bangkok seeks to rebuild, it's vital that these lessons inspire more resilient structures and an effective warning system for future seismic events, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-03 -

In this, they are appellate courts of the highest instance. In this way, they differ from systems that have a supreme court that can rule on both the facts of a case and the relevant law. The term derives from the Latin cassare, "to reverse or overturn".
