Saccharine sermon

Re "Govt 'gifts' need work," (Bangkok Post, Editorial, January 1, 2020)

 
Either that or solve all problems in the traditional Thai way by dressing up nicely and saying nice words like "virtue" and "reason" and "tradition" and "understanding" and "cooperation" (and "sufficiency", we mustn't forget sufficiency from the super-rich preaching to the poor) and so on until the people are saccharined into submission. Dare anyone doubt the amazing efficacy of such sublime wisdom founded on adamantine Thainess as gifted by decade after decade of it to this most fortunate of all Thai nations?
