Of course in your view those that volunteered and went to places like Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan as well as many of the other small locales like in Beirut, Lebanon where many also gave their lives while doing the work they were sent to do, did not earn a chance at going to college and the GI bill is just a freebie. How about those? You serve the country and do not deserve any medical assistance lifetime health care, or help in trying to obtain a job outside of the one you were trained for....hmmm I think your a little lost when you say they did not earn a pension or the other benefits they obtained....

So you went to art school and became a Tattoo artist, very nice....good money to be made.

Sorry to hear you did not get a return email like I did and posted here in the OP on Monday

Self inflicted how? Was it because they had to continue to try and live without jobs or working for the past 2 years with the country closed...try again.

You just love the word Sheeple don't you. Anybody who thinks differently then you is a sheeple, do I have that right? The word is not appropriate for anything other than labeling a farm animal as what it is called a Sheep. Stop with the condescending and name calling by using the word. Why not use the word lemming, because you Sir are following others when you use the word Sheeple.

California just passed a bill to phase out ICE cars by 2035, guess they figure electric and self driving cars will be the norm by then....totally at a loss on the mindset of governments.....

Hoping g and trying to keep prices down are a time bomb waiting to explode and when it does we all need to be prepared. Glad I bought gold, and loose diamonds.....

Sure it would, with all of the cameras surrounding the vehicle and assisting in it's operation, you might not get anywhere quickly because of the motorbikes. Again your biased because you hate anything CCP....

Living here myself for many years, I have found that everyday speaking of the language, watching Thai news and television, as well as trying to read the dailies after having taken courses will only strengthen ones ability to speak Thai. Classes are available everywhere in Thailand, and doing research will allow someone to make a decision. It was while taking courses in Phuket in 2009 that I also decided that there were many different ways to learn Thai. Pidgin Thai and Tinglish is found near bar areas, and is not an area to try and expand ones knowledge or ability.

Nothing like trying to send your friend business....The actual language schools do a very good job regardless of what you believe. I used AUA and had no issues.

So you believe the US is on its final legs and going under....better think again my friend, others will fall well before the US.

The citizens paying the taxes which subsidize it.

Yet they can afford a flight, long term rental etc...here....hmmmm

4 months to go and do they really expect 6 million more in that small period of time. 1.5 million a month, can it be done with the global economy and inflation occurring, I guess anything is possible. If the economy could be ignited here without this governments interference to stuff there pockets full it might increase the countries popularity. Remove the excess import fees on items such as wine, allow the tourist areas to flourish by licensing more lower cost hotels/home stays which have been stifled.....so much more.

So he has a swimming pool inside of his house now, will be great for the resell value. This Government is doing a pisspoor job of helping out it's citizens who are enduring one crisis after another, but hey lets subsidize the diesel fuel and give traveling thais half off...

So Buddha was weeping for Prayut, I see...

I just finished paying off my oldest daughters school loans from her first 2 years of college. Took me 10 years to pay it off. The student loan company sent me an e-mail thanking me, but also asking why I did not use the forbearance available and not make payments to help out my financial status. <deleted> is wrong with people, using a forbearance only adds the missed payments and interest to the back end of your loan and costing more in the end....no wonder people want forgiveness. Nothing is free in this world, pay what you borrowed, and quit giving handouts to folks. No wonder the US is now known as the "Give Me Give Me" I deserve it for free country and not the "What can I do to help my country, without asking for anything". My grandfathers generation, the greatest generation as they are known for the sacrifices they made, must be rolling over in there graves.

Just buy a Bidet....

Eventually the bill will come due and the public/citizens will have to shoulder the debt this creates. One wonders where the free money is coming from to build the fund...yes I know from the refineries and oil companies, but then it is tax money being levied which could be spent paying down the debt incurred by this Government......nothing is free in this world.

Yet, the Myanmar Embassy in BKK has told its millions of citizens with expired passports in the country they will need to wait until after the new year. So with my GF's passport expiring in November along with her extension of stay I hired an agent who obtained a que this past Tuesday for my GF to renew her passport at the Myanmar consulate in Chiang Mai, where they are only doing 100 a day. Had too pay for her to be driven up with 10 other, they drove overnight on Monday, and arrived Tuesday morning where she was processed and was told it will take a month for the passport to be mailed to her here in Bangkok, at which time she will have to have the 1 month left on her extension transferred into the new passport and we will start the process again. Thai citizens are lucky to be able to do it at a terminal and get it so quickly. Even as a US Citizen it took over 2 weeks from application to having it in hand.

Looks like another Elephant who was raiding a farm did not want to be disturbed by the farmer......

He will be privy to as much money as he can abscond with....

Wondering how that 10 passenger EV van will get the group from Bangkok to Chiang Mai in 10 hours if it has to stop and charge 4 times to get there.....asking for a friend who just traveled to the Myanmar Consulate for a passport....

Here is a snippet For the three years that former President Barack Obama wrote his 768-page memoir after leaving the White House, the millions of pages of his official presidential records were locked away in warehouses in Washington and Chicago. Each time Mr. Obama wanted to review something, his aides submitted precise requests to the National Archives and Records Administration. Sometimes, documents would be encrypted and loaded onto a laptop that would be brought to Mr. Obama at his office in Washington. Other times, a paper document would be placed in a locked bag for his perusal, and later returned the same way. The tightly restricted process that Mr. Obama followed to gain access to the 30 million records from his presidency stands in stark contrast to former President Donald J. Trump’s seemingly haphazard handling of some of the government’s most sensitive documents after he left office in early 2021.

Even if a fake PM and not elected he has acted fir 8 years and ergo his Timex is up.....
