Wow, almost five years since your last post, Investorish.  I have to admire your restraint from venting.
I think that I would probably be a miserable old man if I didn't have this venue to vent.  I read a couple of your past posts (like the one I am replying to) and I couldn't disagree with any single thing you pointed out, and they still remain pretty much unchanged from five years ago, and as they have been for 12 years for me.

Life must be pretty chill in Phuket.

Cheers,
