What DOGE is doing is long overdue. If you look at US debt calculator, which increases every fraction of a second, it's clear this cannot continue. You can't continue to spend beyond your abilities and just keep increasing debt ceiling. Something has to be done about it. This is common sense that everyone of you who is not deeply in debt or homeless should be well aware of. It's just about HOW it is done that raises eyebrows...

More win-win situations for you: - food factory pays under table to inspector not to find fatal substances in your food - I mean we all know all food today is laced with pesticides, what's a bit more of it... everyone dies some day - beverage producer slips some bank notes to inspectors to sign off on their drinks despite high ethanol content - alcohol is poison anyway, so what difference does it make... - a man in charge accepts a handy sum to select most expensive bidder for building transportation network, doubling its construction cost - it's not like anyone would have to pay double to use it... - a construction company pays off inspectors to look away when building a large public building, so they don't notice only less than half the material is going into it while they are building a few other things on the side with missing concrete and steel bars - buildings collapse at times all over the World, why should this one be any different.. - your house/condo check is complete after greasing a few hands not to notice safety systems are largely missing or incorrectly installed - got electrocuted and killed? Definitely bad karma. - maintenance papers are signed off with a bit of hand padding on your airplane despite it wasn't actually performed or was done incorrectly - I mean... flying is still safest mode of travel regardless of a crash here and there... - soil and water checks for harmful chemicals turns out negative despite residents around the area one after another get diagnosed with cancer, after a suitcase filled with cash is left for those in charge - World is over populated anyway, so what's a few people dying off in the grand scheme of things... - someone offers uniformed men a handy amount if they put some arbitrary charge on you and put you away - look at it on the bright side - you'll no longer need to deal with visa extensions and 90 day reporting and agents and fake bank documents to stay in Thailand That's for those who think corruption is a good thing. While you're using it to avoid laws and regulations it may seem to be, but when you're at the receiving end of the stick, I bet you'll change your mind, especially if you don't have millions to buy your way out of it. And, if you have an ounce of empathy for those who suffer from it on a daily basis. Maybe one day you become one of them. Actually you already are. Look at this wonderful air you breathe. Now think of the polluters who just pay off officials to be allowed to continue burning and polluting. If you love win-win situations like these, then go out and inhale deeply to enjoy the fruits of your ignorance.

Maybe, if you have created a TIN and password, you could use online filling instead. https://efiling.rd.go.th/rd-efiling-web/login OK, so it's all in Thai but you could open it in Chrome and use translation option in there.

This forum?

Unsure but the HIV-NAT clinic has USAID all over the walls so even if it was before, it might not be any longer. That's important information for those renting their girlfriends...

Named after officer's screen logo Are people really that naive? I guess I got my answer...

Did they mix up nationalities? Sound very much Indian to me.

Thailand isn't really on the ball about what's going on outside local som tum shop...

Of course, just above your post

I would not know what someone without PR requires, in my case, the blue house registration was only document they actually looked at, although I've also provided certificate of residence (blue or white PR booklet), red alien registration from police and passport. None was touched. They obviously wanted old pink ID which they cut after issuing new one. I got some forms to sign, and photo taken. 20 minutes and 60 baht later I had new pink card in my hand.

Xiaomi 14 (at least Ultra) has a "Battery protection" setting where you can cap charging to 80%. There's another one for optimizing battery or something like that, which learns when you pull phone off charging pad, and tops up from 80 to 100% just before you take it off. Admittedly, even without all this, my battery on previous phone lasted over 5 years (Huawei P30 Pro).

Worth for me. I have some semi professional video and photo equipment, but it's big and heavy, hence I was looking for something not too far off, and got Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It fits in the pocket and has quite a good low light capability with 1" class sensor. Also the real aperture control makes a nice bokeh. On the flip side, dynamic range isn't stellar, images are very surgical, and while AI can recover some blurred details as well as Picasso... Seriously, on both, Oppo X7 Ultra does a far better job. So camera and solid build are my main reasons to paying premium. But another reason that got me to change was actually security update. While flipping through the settings I noticed my previous phone had last security update over 2 years old. With all the apps we're forced to use on phones, updates are very important. Premium phones generally come with 5 years of updates, so my current phones have last update in January 2025. I'm also using iPhone, alas 14 Pro Max, a heavy brick. But that's for work as I still don't trust Google enough to put anything sensitive on Android phone. Camera on iPhone is of reasonable quality, but a far cry from what Xiaomi produces.

Oh you'll love this. Forget the video. Read the comments! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgvEnDkNUfg

Singapore has a bunch of iPads at the writing desks before immigration where people used to fill in arrival cards by pens, but admittedly it was far faster to fill out paper card than going through a bunch of pages of form that looked much like a visa application. When completed I was asking staff there how to get proof I filled it out and was told to take a photo of confirmation page. At the immigration officer's station I could see my information just typed in appear on his screen. This was my first time there after COVID when I was unaware of this change. The plus side of it of course (had I known about it prior to the flight) would have been filling that form at home and saving myself time and trouble at arrival. In SG, that form needs to be filled out by every tourist, but unsure about Singaporeans (unlikely) or their permanent residents (also unlikely).

Where's MAGA crowd to defend this one?

Basically. It's not worth arguing with an idiot.

There was so much poor working class in attendance at his inauguration... Look at all these poor sods...

Isn't that the job for US customs, or do you want to outsource it to foreigners?
