It was until Trumps presidency

Ive just switched to Yolla. Its slightly more expensive than skype but works well calling European landlines.

Sounds simplistic but whose going to invest in producing low tech products in the US at 5 times the cost that are produced in China, Asia and Africa.

The U.S. trade tariffs have triggered significant stock market volatility, posing risks for both pension funds and consumer prices. These effects will be felt by retirees, investors, and everyday consumers. Most US pension funds rely heavily on stock market investments. The S&P 500 dropped over 8% since February 2025 and continues to drop, pension portfolios have likely suffered considerable declines. If market instability continues, underfunded pensions could struggle, forcing adjustments such as increased contributions from employees, reduced cost-of-living adjustments, or delayed retirement eligibility. I wonder if the average Trump supporter realizes whats happening to his pension. I think this Trump/Oligarch strategy is simplistic, what do we all do when hit with a price hike, look elsewhere and apart from tech there’s not too much that cant be sourced outside the US.

Here's a link to the go fund me page where his mother is making an appeal to recover his losses. A different story as to what is reported here. https://www.gofundme.com/f/lewis-green-ordeal-in-thailand

Zelensky is always seen in military attire to show solidarity with his troops, many of whom are crawling through cold, muddy trenches, risking their lives. He is respected by his military, far more than if he were prancing around dressed like some dandy as we see in the US. All respect to him. His February approval rating in Ukraine was 63%, far more than Trumps by the American people who must be disgusted and embarrassed after seeing this debacle with Putin's puppet in the white house.

Z Zelensky came to negotiate a deal. However, the offer he received was essentially, "Give us your resources for all eternity, and we'll discuss security later." It's good that he walked away from these two morons. He entered negotiations to stop the war with a degenerate president, who didn’t even know how or when the war started and has been parroting Kremlin propaganda since he came to office. Zelensky's only mistake was attending the meeting without an interpreter, making himself vulnerable and unable to respond effectively. These two must be an embarrassment to the American people.

I don't think she would be throwing Ukraine under the bus and making ridiculous claims.

There are many unfounded claims and conspiracy theories but official audits from different sources have not confirmed widespread misappropriation of any aid to Ukraine. The Ukrainian government, in collaboration with international partners, implements measures to enhance transparency and combat corruption.

Zelensky’s Actions That Provoked Trump. Wrong title. Should be Trumps actions that provoked Zelensky

Here we go again ! Next, bring back the TM-30, back to immigration every time you leave your house for 24 hours.

Not what I was told when I visited the tax office. I asked if I needed to register and was told to bring in my statements and they would let me know whether I needed to register or not and if any tax would be due. I know there is no tax to pay so have not bothered.

Thailand does have emission testing with the annual testing to tax your vehicle required on 5 year old vehicles I believe. All these old smoke belching vehicles appear to have been taxed however. Go figure!

Its not a prison its an immigration detention center. They have the same in the airport, bang up people who they don't want to let in until someone gets them a ticket to fly out.

"Chief Weerakit Manarojkit convened an urgent meeting yesterday" More meetings and more assaults, nothing will ever change as long as the police don't do their job.
