Sadly, as an American, I have to recognize some truth here. Richest country in the world with Trump and his ilk whining about any redistribution of the wealth gained from global trade. Not inconsistent with their domestic affairs outlook.
Concur. I did get to avoid that bully. I told him he was bigger and would, no doubt beat me but … Since I knew I was outmatched and he was insisting on a fight … the first thing I was going to do was go for his balls. End of the threat …
At 78 my running days are over and I am quite content to watch movies at home while sipping wine. I always told the girls: 1 glass I am relaxed. 2 glasses and I want to get “cuddly”. 3 glasses and they are safe again as I am sleepy. Guess I am more a lover than a fighter. Hope this brings a smile … as intended.
My Wife is looking forward to visiting another country for my retirement if Thailand decides to tax my already taxed income in the USA. I know my unimportance to Thailand (spending my 1 million baht a year here) but then again, I am a free person able to seek settlement elsewhere and some of those countries allow me to join their national healthcare scheme after a period of residence.
Been here 13 years. No denying the air pollution. Today difficult to see Doi Suthep from Airport Mall. But generally, I am moving from air conditioned closed home to air conditioned closed car to air conditioned closed Mall so the smog months do not bother too much. Couple of years month long smog breaks in Samui or USA. Would travel more but I am an economic refugee retired from the U.S. ( anyone can donated half a million usd and have rightful claim to making me a millionaire!)
Not fair! It is a plot I tell you. Dangling the idea in front of Trump that he has the opportunity to not only unilaterally dominate (OK, with Musketeers help) the government of the USA but … he is increasingly viewed as a worl leader of the right wing globally!
Fortunately, here in Chiang Mai, I go to the drive-up widow, hand in the form and Passport. Computer update, stamped form and Passport handed back to me. Done and dusted.
Brilliant thinking. Much better to encourage having many children (go forth and multiply). More poverty (don’t care … are there no workhouses, no prisons?). It would cost more for social services but as we are stopping all that burden on the taxpayers … we don’t care.
