Some things never get old in Thailand   

[Thailand in Crisis: Population plummets by 500k in 4 Years]

Too late to stop the population crash now, that already happened 20 years ago with declining birth rates. People dont seem to get it yet or what it means. Even if everyone had 3 kids now it takes 20 more years to grow up and reproduce to slow any decline but  urban families dont have many children& ever rising cost simply means less children, less families and ever more singles and so it goes.. None of it helps increase population. 

 

On the farm having kids is cheap & free labour, the problem with that is the last couple of generations have left the farms for the cities. With nothing to go back for but poverty its hardly surprising the average farmers age is above 55 and rising.

 

In an urban environment children are v costly and just an expense until they grow up. Populations moving  into mega growing cities wont help & with ever increasing uban living costs  birth rates will continue to decline as a result. 

 

This is has been happening across most of the developed/developing world  for decades. From Russia to Japan,  Italy to China and thats without other economic equations added into the mix. And no  its not fixable with immigration only temporary & shown that within a generation those immigrants follow the same birth rate decline,  Africans or Indians, Muslim etc still follow the same demographic birth decline in their new host countries by the next generation..Even Mexico peaked last decade & suspect the US is desperately opening the borders for this very reason but its only a sticking plaster not a solution. 

 

Not one country in decline has managed to buck the low birth rate issue organically yet. 

 

We are very possibly living in the times of the most humans alive there will ever be.. ever.  

 

 

 

 

 

[34.66% want the “digital wallet” scheme to be scrapped – NIDA Poll]

Not surprised, Gov would be better issuing it only against credit card debt then 100% of Thais would probably be up for it... 

 

Its not 10k bht, its not money... its digital tokens nothing more... Ask any Thai if they would like a 10k coupon for use in select places/distance  or 7k hard cash in the hand and see what the answer is. 

 

This is a test based around the 15 minute city corralling people  idea & a future CBDC roll-out to dispense with cash entirely.. every credit & transaction can then be tracked, taxed and easily monitored, where & how used  can be  controlled and restricted as required...eg localised spending restrictions no problem, use by dates no problem, diminishing value to encourage spending ? no problem. Sorry your  quota for meat has topped out this week, no purchase allowed but you can still buy 7/11 stuff or veggies or mama etc. That 2nd weekend break in Phuket this month your carbon credit allowance is topped out, its ok though the ticket will have an uplift cost of X  and so will the coach option or car hire purchase unless electric, carbon  uplift charge added at point of charging transaction ( for your own good & save the planet of course, big brothers got your back  )  ...  CBDC can even have an end date to force spending on what or where and encoded with restrictions/caveats  in almost any way  deemed appropriate......   Sok though Thai Gov knows best...fancy some of that ? nope me either... Personally i'm with the 34.66%.

 

Only thing embellished is the mama part, the rest is all real & easily coded options/ abilities of  CBDC or any other digital token scheme to replace cash, 

 

Don't believe me ? Do some research . WEF site & their talks online is a good start...  in their own words.

[Thai senators come under pressure over PM vote]

 Nothing new about what will likely happen now, we've seen it before. 

 

MF didnt get a landslide only 151, nor did PT with 148 unlike previous elections there is no landslide here and  even  with the most likely  coalition partners im hearing 310 falls far short of 376 minimum. 

 

Sadly BJT are still the most likely to come out on top with 100% senate support and the other pro military parties in coalition, actually surpassing 376 to form a government is much easier. 

 

And we havnt even started the election dispute process or upheld rigging complaints and the inevitable judicial disqualifications yet. Most likely scenario i think will be the same old song and dance with patience and using the courts EC etc 

 

 

 

 

[Govt Urges Companies to Allow Work From Home]

Traffic is no worse in Bangkok than normal, its compounded every year as this time by seasonal burning.. Placing of way too many factories close to the Capital  also hasnt helped .. at all.

 

The majority of smoke pollution is coming from Myanmar & Laos affecting Chiang Mai and  Cambodia mostly affecting Bangkok  from burning as usual every year . Just have to look at the infrared maps to see that. The winds naturally carry it into the gulf and Thailand. 

 

Bit of diplomacy with ASIAN neighbours might be a good idea. If Thailand has to compensate with funds so the farmers can afford machinery, disposal & fertiliser .. which is what burning saves them the cost of.. so be it..

 

No one wants to work at home, cultures way too social and should remain so. 

[Thailand votes for Peace in Europe]

Thailand has this one right..

 

Look around you, the world is fracturing and tearing itself apart in front of your eyes. Do you want more war ? escalation ?  Really ?   fools all .. Regardless of the bitter pill needed to be swallowed, concede Russia the regions taken and stand down this madness or talk of more deadly arms & weapons being sent,  before all become drawn into a far greater conflict .... Negotiated terms are the only way wars end & this MUST be started asap.

 

Ceasefire leading to peace negotiations is the only sane option...the alternative is more death more escalation & more WAR ... take your pick but do not come here and call for more war while you lie safe in bed in a safe place. ( for now ) ..

[What risk to Thailand as monkeypox spreads across the world?]

Monkey pox is nothing new or a growing problem, its just the latest media and health scare hype to focus on  and part of this new and disgusting control cycle we are going to see being ramped up this decade.

 

If you pay attn to the scaremonger threats and "experts " claims of whats coming...pandemic after pandemic blah blah blah  you should realise this is all being engineered as continuing excuses to keep people in constant fear and disruption of living normally as before. Rolled out in tandem with other control methods  tech and changing policies most govs have already signed up to.. their job is to scare their populations into accepting ever more draconian controls.

 

Universal media stories, simultaneous statements,  key words and slogansa being used by the usual control freaks globally should make it laughable but there are plenty just waiting for the next current thing to panic over... and TPTB will use it to the max if the people allow it.. This should be all too obvious by now.. agenda 2030 is a real goal  not a myth. 

 

 

Sadly conditioning and control  by fear is a very effective method and increasingly becoming the weapon of choice by most governments and they will go as far as their populations allow them to go....

told you AZ was not effective ????

 

 

Oh its effective as much as any of the jabs are, they do exactly as intended which is to reduce the severity in most cases. 
They do increase "protections " as claimed but are far from what people traditionally expect from a "vaccine" or what most have been led to believe a vaccine does. 

[BBC report Thai Covid crisis latest - who's going to visit Thailand after reading that?]

 

Having a jab won't stop you getting it. eg 47% of recorded cases in the UK last week were already vaccinated.
