A little off topic and I'll understand if it is moved or deleted. Does having a condo way up high mitigate surrounding noise problems? Like does 20 stories up cure the issue?

I have no idea if what you say is true. I will accept it as so. Since congress can change anything I seriously doubt there will come a time when they allow reduced SS payments because current FICA taxes don't cover them. That would be political suicide.

After being forced to change hotels due to a new gogo bar opening across from my old one I sympathize. I had visions of murdering whoever was responsible for installing exterior speakers to share their techo with the entire Soi. 😃

Just read where the military is now in the crosshairs. Seems everyone is under the same microscope just a question of order. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hegseth-orders-pentagon-make-plans-major-budget-cuts-align-trump-doge-priorities

No I pretty much summed it up.

RIP. We make life choices and live with the results. Choosing to ride a bicycle or motorbike in Thailand is a risky one. I would love the freedom riding here but am unwilling to take the risk,

Articles like these just provide more proof that America voted right this time. People who believe this kind of slant aren't rational to begin with and should be ignored.

Fun times. And you are braver than I getting on 2 wheels in this town full of drunk and incompetent drivers. 🤣

On that we agree. BUT not to the extent of starting a nuclear war. I've no doubt that in a conventional war between NATO (with USA) and Russia the Russian military would be shredded in a few short weeks, Problem is THEN does Putin resort to nukes? Yeah I think most of their nukes would misfire and fail. But it only takes a few to make a very bad day. I don't think he is that insane (or his generals would let him) but the fact he might is an issue that prevents outright ending his regime for the sake of Russians and the rest of the world. So how to handle Putin is a tricky question. The world can hope his successor is saner and Putin has a cardiac arrest sooner.

There are some seriously mentally unstable people here. And they need to log off of Democratic Underground and Reddit and try living in the real world.

Hard to believe he was so naive as to let them take their luggage.

Seems he agrees and this article shows he i pointing his sights on the Pentagon next. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/1300-coffee-cups-8000-overpay-soap-dispensers-show-waste-doge-locks-pentagon-elon-musk

Ahhh the psychosis shines thru.

In the past outgoing presidents were kept in the loop as their experience and vision could provide advice for the active president. I'm not sure it is a relevant thing today. Especially since most active presidents don't listen to their predecessors unless from the same party.

Maybe you don't know how industrious Mexicans are. The USA has a surfeit of them and of offering pay and housing we could provide a million of them for 5 years and bam. Done and rebuilt. I always watch in awe in Arizona as they are working outside in that blistering heat and get <deleted> done. 😅
