we did not pool , not even argued. We were It was just talking when 11th grader responded to his recently retired father something like ' you don't care because you have pension from February ' when we realized along which lines we are divided. What you say above confirms our findings, we don't have doctors but our pharmacist, teacher , engineers and IT people all are in favor of closing, just like your well established folks. Most of us in the West are somewhat comfortable with either our incomes or governments support but in many countries poorer folks were just locked out and left to fend for themselves with options to earn living shoot down. And remote schooling while a solution in Portland OR or Lyon , France , in rural Ethiopia or Paraguay is just a pipe dream. My comment was not to argue for or against closing / opening , just to emphasize that governments have very tough choices to make as people don't need jobs but they need incomes and way needs to be found to feed them broadly speaking. This would be an answer to your question why some people ( other than Trump ) want to re-open economy / borders. Whether that makes now sense or not is for another discussion as it's only guess. One year from now we may found that USA is decimated and depopulated because of premature re-opening but on another hand we may see your country as great winner of battle against virus , one of three in the world along with Sweden and Peru whose population achieved coveted herd immunity because of broad exposure. Who really knows at this time ?

you will well before Christmas, not sure Christmas of what year though, LOL

that would be sarcasm of the fate is we eventually are allowed to the country but chose not to go afraid of being stuck in the political upheaval. as for amending constitution , why bother ? Better to draft new one ,Thailand has good track of changing constitutions more often than some people taking shower

if one wants to envision how in longer term Pattaya would look like without tourists, , short stroll around Sunee Plaza will help

....and keep boys in shape

I wonder under what provision those 60 lucky Chinese tourists were admitted ?

Government decisions following even most diligently and fairly conducted pool may be enthusiastically taken by the population if only because we people don't have proper knowledge or information to assess an impact so we governed may have an illusion . that people in power are listening Ask if population is for reducing prices by half and most will be for as only few will envision possible resulting shortage of goods and loss of jobs. Who asked if salaries should be doubled is against ? possibility of resulting inflation will cross few minds but I doubt it 'd be majority. When our government announced lock downs in mid March and declared stores selling alcohol and income tax preparation services an essential services we had good laugh and were awed at lobbying power of those industries. But when next day ministers explained that they don't want people with alcohol withdrawal syndromes to clog hospital capacity and in time of business closures and job reductions people may need their refunds much more than normally all of the sudden we realized it made quite a sense and our laughs were bit premature.

nothing scientific, having nothing to do with Thailand and not even proper statistic sample but still telling : Yesterday we all cousins with extended families where applicable decided irresponsibly to get infected , get sick and subsequently die so we gathered for a barbecue , our first such gathering since Christmas Day 2019. 22 of us aged 5-83 , all of sound mind if that can be said about my family at all. Of course we discussed virus and subject of reopening our local economy as quite a chunk of it is in one way or other still restricted. We were quite surprised by what we found and all opinions expressed were pretty firm. 4 primary and high schoolers in favor of returning to school in Sept 6 working in part time or gig jobs wants to loosen restrictions broadly and ASAP including 2 university students and 2 people receiving quite generous here temporary assistance and 1 retiree still working part time. 7 people in steady and rather well paid jobs ( including not working wife on one high earner)wants to keep things closed or restricted until it's all over and the same for 5 retirees, 3 with generous and other 2 with just basic pensions. It was actually one of our high schoolers who noticed first that responses are very related to how secure our incomes are and one side doesn't understand the other.

Finished Why R U, plot is very uneven but in a good sense, when things become too sugary in ep. 9 and 10 , all of the sudden dramatic turn of events.

and then reopen when situation improves. When there will be demand, an offer will appear.

thank you for cheering us up The Nation

so it means Cambodian guys are returning somehow

Reuters reports that Prime Minister ordered review the case and second autopsy of Mr. Jaruchat as he wants to clear suspicions about that death and the case in public mind.

probably salt from Foodland is much , much cheaper than boy from Dreamboys , even for ST

please keep rubbing salt into our wounds, preferably every weekend so at least we know how it is

we all wish it was figment of our imagination but unfortunately it's real , not a bad dream

look at bright side, at least you woke up, what if they overdid it ?

I already watched in on YouTube, both Sarawat and Time are handsome and cute at the same time. I also like Sarawat's character, managed to be both dry and romantic , rare feast. Good news is second season with only 5 episodes is to start airing on Aug 14th. 11th episode ( second last ) of The Shipper is already on YouTube. I'm in the middle of Why R U, I like story line , Zon is cute and Fighter handsome watching all those is for me poor substitute of actually being in Thailand but still at least is something to wipe my tears, LOL

we need to tell that to Prime Minister so may be he let us in

the same can be said about many of us

I'd not write November off entirely, we still have 3 month to go. What if instead of getting depressed not to make waiting period kind of lottery fun? Will possibility come or fail ?

so did I around the same time and need to stand to Mr Fluke's defense, certainly no photoshopping IMNSHO

Thank you, in the actual " The Shipper " series he looks even better. Waiting for second last episode to be released tomorrow. In meantime I started 'Why R U " and it's also full of cuties

more and more our forum looks like obituary pages for gay fun
