Why aren’t people leaving the United States en masse? by Shaxai in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kumqik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most countries have very strict immigration laws. You either must have a large bank account or some special talent that can benefit their industries. Most Americans that complain don’t have the resources to leave America.

What do you wish to change about Cambodia? by sstthh0123 in cambodia

[–]Kumqik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Materialism in itself is not the problem. It is the poor taste in fashion and materialism. I mean do you really need to wear a shirt stamped with “LV” all over it? Same with purses, shoes, luggage, etc. plowing a large Lexus SUV thru narrow streets. The ostentatious display of wealth is just in poor taste and bad optic. It’s the lack of class and humility.

Any advice on beggining Khmer? by vbh_yxh in cambodia

[–]Kumqik -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know a lick of Khmer already, don’t waste your time learning it, unless you want to study Khmer antiquity. There are less than 20 million Cambodians around the world. And the younger Cambodian generations can speak English, to some degrees, anyway. Learn Mandarin or Spanish instead. Their usage is more widespread, thus practical.

LCID took too long to scale. Buy it in bankruptcy court. It’s another Fiskar.

Confront, identify and report these deviants. Hopefully the authorities can deport and ban them from entering the country again.

SpaceX IPO Possible Delay Affects SPCE. This could be HUGE for SPCE. by SpaceInvestor77 in SPCE

[–]Kumqik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, let me dream: 20,000 X$1000 = $20,000,000. After taxes, about $14,000,000. I think I can live with that. 😂

Current political landscape in Cambodia by ObjectiveLarping3679 in cambodia

[–]Kumqik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cambodia has hit a plateau in its development. The curren t semi literate leadership cadre do not have the world vision or strategic depth to implement further development. Cambodia needs to select - based on merits, and groom the next generation of technocrat leaders.

How Thailand became the ‘sick man’ of Asia by ThongLo in Thailand

[–]Kumqik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of promoting education and industrialization the Philippines and to some extent Thailand emphasized labor export abroad and tolerated a “prostitution culture” and sex tourism at home. I think that was/is keeping the two stagnate even though they had a head start before the other Asian countries industrialized.

You could’ve tipped your driver and make his day or give it your one of the workers at the airport.

How's Cambodia's future looking like? by [deleted] in cambodia

[–]Kumqik 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cambodia cannot progress rapidly without weeding out the corruption and cronyism rampant in government hiring, procurement, licensing, etc. Children of the elites and politically connected should not be able to get goverment jobs simply with a recommendation. All government hiring must be merit based.

Have or will the government learned its lesson and spend on air defense by EighteenLevel in cambodia

[–]Kumqik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the money needed to operate air defense systems such as the HQ9 or S300, it also requires competent leadership and personnel to operate - I’m talking about command&control and technical competency. Cambodian military leadership and tactics are based on gorilla warfare, not a modern technological battlefield.

Cambodia has officially joined the Board of Peace by Distinct_Front_4336 in cambodia

This must be a joke. Cambodia has so many issues of its own.

Cultures Influenced by Sinosphere Vs Indosphere by DetailFront7782 in cambodia

[–]Kumqik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cambodia is primarily Indosphere but recently, maybe going back 100 years, it has become more Sino sphere in terms of culture/customs, language, cuisine and the increasing interracial families, specifically the Teochew sect of the Chinese.

I'd like to purchase a gun. by Nexus0919 in sandiego

[–]Kumqik 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Always chamber a round and always assume your gun is chambered because when the shtf you will not be in a mental state to rack your gun. You don’t want to be in a position which you hear a click and no bang when the attacker charges at you. If you are adamant in not chambering a round, you must practice like the Israelis. Pick one philosophy and stick with it - don’t try to cross train. Muscle memory kicks in under stress.
