Songkhla is a world unto itself. If the guy's connected to the fishing families, they'll probably end up apologizing to him and offering to replace any chairs that got damaged beating the cops with them. But, I hope I'm wrong. I love Songkhla and the people. But they have messed up politics.

Perhaps he's just trying to shame Boeing into finally getting their act together. How would that be bad for the USA?

Change the locks when she's "out with her friends". You're welcome.

What other products have the same pricing disparity? And which of them can be the difference between life and death? I can order (for example) a camera from Japan if they're cheaper there, and the only difference is that I may not get the warranty. If I try that with a prescription, I'm subject to arrest.

There's an old Marshall Tucker song, from when they were my favorite band in the '70s. "If I die at 23" (Ab's Song). That was my theme song back in my rebel without a clue phase. Yet, here I am at 68. I'd have taken better care of myself if I only knew.

2 wise old sayings come to mind. There but for the grace of God... People in glass houses...

Wouldn't you? I know I would...

Not if it's done properly. More accurately, no riskier than the US supply chains, who have them made overseas anyway. Then they sell the same Indian or Chinese made medicines at one price in Europe and a much higher price in the US.

Apparently plenty of rebar in that concrete pole. I'd rag on the driver, but I did stupid stuff when I was a kid. It's sheer dumb luck that I didn't end up just like him. Even better luck that I didn't kill anyone else. That's in his favor, too. RIP.

True, but fake blue pills aren't the topic of discussion here.

Then we (Americans) should be allowed to order it from a different country where they sell the same medicine at a much lower price.

Opinion, drivel Potato, potato.

He just signed it. The ink's not even dry and the lefty idiots are already claiming it hasn't resulted in significant savings.

Bet'cha he's glad he wasn't on a scooter. One more data point...

Give the guy credit. He's trying his best to get the Dems to be in a position to win the future. By pointing out how utterly ridiculous many of their platforms are, and how badly they're resonating with the mainstream voters. They do great with the lunatic fringes, but that lost them 2024.

It's coming... I've seen it. But it's on "unapproved sources". I'm patient. The MSM will be shamed into covering it eventually.

Political genius. He'll sign the EO, the courts will stop him again, and he scores. It'll also re-open the discussion of the "Most Favorable Nation" concept, which is long overdue. Americans should be allowed to order our prescriptions from overseas if Big Pharma wants to keep gouging us in the USA. At the very least, gub'ment paid prescriptions should be sources from the least expensive source, even if that's not in the USA.

I get what you're saying, but let me respond with 2 comments. 1) I find it very difficult to negotiate with someone that doesn't speak the same language without getting adversarial and perhaps causing resentment. And I don't want my driver to be in a pissed off mood, especially at me. I'd rather have a happy driver. They seem to drive saner. 2) If foreigners weren't known for tipping, we'd probably rarely get picked up on the side of the road. Edit: I can't tell you the number of times I've been refused on the side of the road because the driver wanted to find a longer drive, until I sweetened the pot. Sadly for those that don't have it, money talks. And as an individual, I can't do anything about that reality.

They'd still have to move 3 more pegs to the right to get into balance. Edit: Though I do concede and appreciate that they're presenting more on the right than they used to.

Call me skeptical of $300 Million profit on $1.56 billion in revenue, when the worldwide airline (net) profitability runs around 2-4%. I wonder how many one time entries they had? Perhaps they put Thai Smile's A320s and other assets onto their balance sheet?

Personally, I think a 6 month warranty is adequate. It covers factory defects. Past 6 month, it's "wear and tear". Which is not really a warranty as much as an extended service contract, for which I'm probably paying more. And under which my "warranty" claim is probably going to be denied anyway, because the failure was due to wear and tear. Especially on electric tools. Still, I remember wailing on my Craftsman screwdrivers with a hammer, then tossing them into a pile to take back to Sears every 6 months or so to get new ones. Those were the good old days.

If it's a model available in Thailand, have the battery replaced. One of the great things about Thailand is how cheap and easy it is to get someone to crack open a smartphone, tablet or laptop and do repairs and battery replacements. Even if it's not a model available in Thailand, they may have a battery for it. One of my problems is that I sweat so much that sweaty pocket lint gets into my Micro or USB-C socket and corrodes the terminals. In the USA, that's end of life because it's too expensive to crack them open. In Thailand, eezy peezy. And cheap. If your new battery drains quickly, check the battery settings to see what apps are draining it. May be some apps related to location in Thailand. Are you using Grindr more here in LOS?

Yup. Their toughest decision will be "where to spend the surplus?"

For example... Here's what I will say. I don't know a single insured traveler who doesn't violate the terms of their policy. Though they may not realize it.
