Sure some, but the all-star I know has built the house, has the car, money in the bank, and works, just as Stick says, "Why not?" when she's still in demand. Following her social media is a real travelogue. And a great source of info on the places to eat and drink. She's ready anytime to move back upcountry into retirement with her extended family. And the commoners I know, the ones that might want to "marry", they're way more savvy now too, knowing enough to want "full rights" (as in survivorship). They want LEGAL, ENFORCEABLE documentation, none of this verbal crap.
Without a doubt Thais really suffered. But you know, the ones I keep in contact with, it was ALWAYS "I'm fine, I'm OK"; NEVER a request for support. Just asking how I was doing...
Nah, the Thais has suffered enough. Now Sydney... that's where we need Pandemic 2.0. Teach the damn tradesmen a lesson. During Covid, getting plumbing, electrical, general contractor work done, cheap and readily available. Now, their quotes are OTT, maybe they show, maybe they don't, maybe the job progresses, maybe it stalls... They are so UPPITY. Who the f*ck do they think they are? With sufficient deaths, PRC's, Indians, etc. will fill the bill. And they KNOW their place.
And the store workers? Try finding one to help you find something. Can't be bothered. Shut the damn stores, throw them out on the street, and end the socialist CentreLink. Teach them some MANNERS and how peasants SHOULD behave.
And the businessmen? Again, service, support, customer service? What are are all those? Again, close the damn businesses, NO tax write-offs, throw the buildings into foreclosure... And not just the business property. Go after the personal wealth, no hiding from your debts. Don't worry, the Chinese are all ready to swoop in for the rescue... The Chinese know how to upgrade the old worn-out architecture with something worthy of the 21st century. And it'd be quickly done, none of this Union rights BS.
Train stoppages, slowdowns. Pandemic 2.0, they either work for food, or they're thrown on the tracks. Inconvenience me? Again, WTF. Let them eat cake. Bring in PRC technology and workers... modern, efficient, and construction in a fraction of the time.
So let's have a Pandemic 2.0, enough deaths, these uppity workers will once again learn their place, appreciate the breadcrumbs dropped...

Accept that times have changed. That King Farang has been usurped.

Contact Mr. Peabody and arrange transportation to the early 90's...
