Amazing poi pet , its a mini boom town, 17 casinos All foreign owned, mostly empty. New roads, hotels, supermarkets, kfc, shop houses....90 % empty
Getting gf her L-A migrant work visa. Must be over 1,000 people/day heading over to work.
Guess why work for $3-5/day when can work for $12...

If the Thai and the Malay did not take them in, so that they can send some of those $12 back home, we would be sitting on an impossible disaster. Furthermore, it would increase labour supply in Cambodia and further depress the going $3-5/day to even less than that. I also think that the Koreans, and especially the Japanese could do more, and take in more workers from here. Avoiding social unrest means keeping the masses in a job ...

I recieved better than average grades in economics but remain mostly ignorant from a global perspective.
Those lessons were a l0ong time ago. But I still think some or most of the basic precepts still apply.
My question is how is this scenario sustainable? It goes against every basic concept I was taught.
I think my new slogan will be; Baffled in the KoW.
Same goes for the housing/construction/resort boom here in SHV.
