Here's a new one
Don't get mixed up by median and average net worth! Quite a substantive amount of Thais worth waay more then the average Farang retiree... So compared to the median net worth, farangs would do well, compared to the average net worth, most farangs are probably piss poor 😄 -

In Thailand: What are your plans when Nuclear War happens?
No plans. I've gotten to a point in my life where I don't devote time and energy to thinking about things that I have absolutely no control over. If nuclear war happens we're all in trouble, the fallout is going to be unbelievably bad, and I'm not sure there's much any of us can do at that point. Sure one can build an underground shelter, with millions of baht worth of construction costs and provisions, but who wants to live in a cave? It does feel like a bit of a pointless thread. -

I\ve been getting my feel better therapy from watching Tottenham youtube channels whinging about no signings. Clarko and other coaches head overseas and study basketball,nfl,soccer etc to get idea's on game plans, maybe they should stay home and head down to the Holden centre. Would be a good start for the Kangas -

EU Folds - Agrees 15% Tariff
There will be a day of reckoning. The EU is playing for time. First Trump threatened 50% tariffs, then he said 30%, now it is 15%. The USA has a large surplus in trade with the EU in respect to services. Watch for the EU to take steps to reduce the ease of US firms to sell their services. The USA is slowly losing its grip on international markets despite these tariff "deals". Chinese refiners have slashed US crude purchases by approximately 90% between 2023 and 2025, redirecting roughly 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) toward alternative suppliers, with Canada taking the US market share. The Canadian TMX pipeline bypasses the USA and the cheap oil now goes to China which has the ability to refine Canadian crude. The USA used to reap windfall profits, purchasing the Canadian oil at a discount and then selling the refined product back to canada and others at substantial profit. Canada has greater oil and gas reserves than the USA and the EU is begging for access. It will get it with the new resource law passed in Canada. It may take 5 years, but it will happen. The EU-Canada free trade deal was provisionally enacted in 2017. CETA eliminates duties on 99% of all tariff lines, of which 98% were scrapped when it it provisionally entered into force. Watch for a pivot away from the USA between resource rich Canada and resource hungry EU. This will take time, but it is underway. Remember how Trump was threatening Greenland and saying he was going to seize the country for its rare earth inventory? Guess who has been signing development deals with Canadian and EU mining consortiums? Greenland and Denmark want to deal with Canada and other EU nations, not with the USA. The trade changes are irreversible and once they take hold, the USA economy, will suffer. In the meantime, the 15% tariffs for the EU and Japan can feed inflation in the USA and block a Fed interest rate cut.
