KKr Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) https://youtu.be/gDNgMTPlJs4 my sympathy, some of the people I know have lost all in the meantime. but let’s admit, losing billions is harder. Edited April 4, 2020 by KKr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodyholly Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Good grief. Imagine going to bed being worth $1.001 billion and waking the following morning and finding out you’ve lost $1 billion over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherstuff1957 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 This will obviously trigger a government "Stimulus" package! That means that the government will pump some of our tax money into these big corporations to make the 'economy' look healthier. The US does the same thing, they are just a tiny bit more subtle about it. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 At least some good is coming out of this virus. When was the last time you heard of a major foundation being set up by one of these guys, one of them signing the "pledge", or one of them doing amazing things for the Thai people? They appear to be some of the stingiest people of wealth on the planet. Little sympathy for their losses. Boonchai Bencharongkul (the founder of Dtac) is one of the few I know of who is actually doing things to benefit the nation and its people. MOCA Bangkok is a good example of that. The so called Hi-So here is not exactly a good example of community spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been around the rich too and they do live pathetic and empty existence, but unfortunately their greed and avarice destroys the lives of all the regular people they prey upon. I've no compassion for this class of pathetic losers. As long as they suck air they pose a problem to the rest of humanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadie Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 While your hearts are bleeding for the tycoons what their talking about is share prices. That's where you pensions,, investments and saving are generally located. Even if you're under the assumption some pensions / investments might be govt backed, protected, insured. A lot, lot more nasty surprises coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the poor people without a pot to <deleted> in, who will have trouble putting food on the table ? If you have nothing you can lose nothing - my heart bleeds for the poor. One should expect a sharp uptick in crime as the poor, many of them already severely in debt, become more and more desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundooman Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 First thoughts: - They will be devastated - horrified - angry and scared. They will still be in the top 1%. They will use every excuse, demand, order, control of this government to retrieve their losses. The common population are not to be considered. They are the priority! GET MY MONEY BACK!
