HolyCowCm Posted August 30, 2022 #244182 Share Posted August 30, 2022 This has been going on in Bangkok as for long as I can remember. I used to watch them pour everything down the drain from dem carts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janneman Posted August 30, 2022 #244188 Share Posted August 30, 2022 If it is down the drain, it's gone. So who cares? It takes a very long time to change that mentality. Lots of subtle influencing. Being repeated over and over. For years, or decades. Heavy fines will not work. There are always loopholes. And chances of getting caught are close to zero. Even with a lot of 'concerned citizens' waiting to report someone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
