^^| I have no problem with 'workers' earning a bit of a profit. One could have an interesting discussion with how much profit is really necessary without threatening the model of sellers/buyers. How much buyers could be forced asked to pay and how much suckers consumers need to be protected Maybe I should as the Trump Team how much is enough and what is reasonable in risk and spreading risks. Mind you, the attack on the Dodd-Frank seems aimed at letting the consumers pay directly while suggesting 'too big to fail' is out. No regulations needed, market forces should be enough, as the 2008 meltdown so clearly showed. That was a failure of capitalism. The drive for economic growth at any cost overtook the risk brake. Capitalism is back in in the USA, at least with the current Presidential Team. Of course, as you noted before the topic of 100 quid a day has no relation with capitalism, not even in alternative facts  |

....................."Thai ecomonics in action, 1 person sets a business up it works well for a while then a heap of other people do exactly the same thing in the same area and bascially saturate the market, forcing pricing down and ultimately they all fail"...................... For some reason that practice has always intrigued me as well as annoyed me. Wife and I have done many road trips between CM and Surin over the years, usually via Phetchabun, and have noticed on one trip there will be a lone vendor on the side of the road selling some sort of fruit, the next trip there will be ten of them, all selling exactly the same effing thing ! I try to find a loner and do business with them. The road into Mai Sai is a good example, there must be a hundred of them on either side of the road. That is the one area I hear mentioned the most of the telly, about illegal resorts being torn down. Next time stop for some of those stawberries mick, they are bloody lovely. |

We both like Phetchabun, always stay the night there to break up the trip to and from Surin. Had a night at a resort up at Khao Ko, stayed in this little A-frame hobbit house, wasn't bad. Not bad scenery up there. Went to a pub, were the only people there. Had no trouble getting a drink.  |

If ever you see a Man City liveried motorbike there kindly appropriate it for me so I can taunt and bribe the owner for its return. 300m Quid should suffice  . |

Of course, apart from the 100 quid a day through hard labour, we also have the golden opportunities which promise great, really great returns. I just had one from Hassan Adnan from Syria, an oil and gas entrepreneur in association with state owned companies 'here in Syria' he write me. He has a huge capital but couldn't invest it in Syria due to ongoing war. Needs help. Please write him |

^^^ Me finks I got one from his brutha in Nigeria the other day posting on behalf of Gov UK promising me a 300 pommie peso tax return following my recent claim.
Abdullahs ploblen was, I didnt make any such claim.
I replied back to him and said, I dont need the money, please donate it to a charity of your choice.
Show me a receipt for the donation and I will send you a check for the same amount if you can provide me with your details.
Not heard a word since,
