Alan Michael Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 11 hours ago, owl sees all said: A good step would be to stop importing so much Palm oil from Malaysia. The Thai domestic consumption is not great and importing the oil leads to a surplus; thus dropping the price at the factory gate. A while ago the Prime Minister complained about the over production of rubber which led to a lower price. To remedy this he suggested that all Thai people should try to buy more rubber goods. Giving the high birth rate caused by teenagers, I can think of one good use for rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The result of production gluts are not altogether the "fault" of Government but where that is a factor it usually precedes any current Government. Regardless the result of those who dive into an agricultural trend and create the glut will invariably bring the issue to Government in an appeal to maintain initial economic outcome. Sadly that often results in subsidies which are actually a tax on everybody but for political appeal are often implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Joke Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Yes, get them frying in palm oil, to go along with the palm oil oozing out of every second edible out there on the shelves, watch the national health bill soar as they sicken and die. I love the smell of Unintended Consequences in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubon farang Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Plus we are buying 2 more submarines to add to the old ones we have bought. That should employ another 150 men and 1 Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Clearly, this explains his overwhelming electoral success - voted back into power (not that he ever left) - the acclamation of the people. All these suggestions that he was aided by dispensing government money, banning a major opposition party, targeting opposition leaders and so on are, as Boris Johnson would say: "an inverted pyramid of piffle"!
