You want to dictate how much other people should be happy with. Many people in this world could only dream of having your lifestyle….or even half of it. And I’ll bet that they work harder than you ever did with no hopes of having enough money to jet around the world to retire in tropical countries. Your “financial security” is another persons “extravagance”. Check your privilege.

There are billions of people who don’t have “enough”. Take Musks stock and sell it all to raise money for them. But sell it to who? Other billionaires? Oh….wait….you want their money too. But first they must divest their assets….to who? I’m sure there are billions of people who think you have too much. 700 million people live on less than $2 a day. Thai minimum wage is something they can only dream of. And Thais make more than billions of people. Should Thais only get $4 a day? how much do you deserve? I’d be willing to bet that you think you deserve more than them. it reminds me of a girl who worked as a concierge in a Los Angeles apartment I used to live in. Complete SJW (like yourself). She was paid $16/hour and would go on and on about how the parking valets deserved $15 a day instead of the $10 they were getting. They finally got it. Her wage stayed at $16. She was furious. She really didn’t care about the parking attendants but just thought that if they got a raise that she would get a commensurate raise too. You are playing the same economic arbitrage that everybody else on this forum is playing. Somehow I doubt you’re living on ฿15,000 a month. But it sure feels good to virtue signal, doesn’t it?

It seems as if every time a health insurance cost thread is started it becomes nothing more than an apples to oranges comparison in prices because only one variable (or none) is presented by whoever is stating their own personal policy cost. To better ascertain what people are paying and why, the following information is vital otherwise the answers and advice will be completely useless. 1. Age of insured 2. Policy limits 3. Deductible amount. (One persons “high deductible” is another persons “low deductible) 4. Prior claims history (multiple claims can cause premiums to increase) 5. Smoker? Drinker? Exclusions for previously existing conditions? 6. What countries will the insurance cover you and to what amount. Many companies won’t cover much (if any) in the US for example. Best to call a broker and just get quotes based upon the policy that you want for your personal situation. What other people claim to pay is of little relevance to what you might pay. No idea if there are “foreign prices” and “Thai prices”

Some are on 7 figure salaries. I wouldn’t donate to them either. https://www.charitywatch.org/nonprofit-compensation-packages-of-1-million-or-more There are many charities that seem have failing grades due to the fact that the bulk of the donations goes to “overhead” https://blog.charitywatch.org/rip-f-rated-charities/

1. Needs lower price as it’s priced comparably (now) to dealer vehicles. Dealers can and will sit on a car forever. I’d price it between what a dealer is asking and what they would offer you. 2. Needs more information. Is it a 2022 or 2023? Options? 3. Needs correct information in the Advertisement. Wrong mileage. 4. Needs better/more pictures.

I apologize in advance for not having a link, but in the western (US) news articles (aggregated on sites such as yahoo) that talk about our (westerners) “needs” to start eating protein from bugs (usually in an article talking about some new business raising crickets), Thailand is actually held up as the example and sometimes there is a photo from some night market of the lone seller of bugs with the insinuation being that Thailand is already eating bugs as a source of protein.

If you want to mask up when going out, that is up to you. Not my problem. If you choose to take the BTS instead of a taxi (I rarely ever see unmasked taxi drivers) or driving yourself, that is also up to you and the risk that you bear by doing so is 100% your responsibility. Nobody else is responsible for “protecting the health of others around them” but it sounds as if you could make the rules, you would have everybody mask up 100% of the time if only to protect you. If you are in a high risk group, it is up to you to determine what amount of risk you are willing to take and if that amount of risk is 0% and you expect people to also mask up in order to protect every old and frail person then perhaps you should “stay home and stay safe”. Having a picture of a masked dog as your profile picture is quite pathetic however.

Do those gdp figures include bombs and guns? imagine how awesome the economy would be if Nazi Trump builds internment camps for all the leftists who talk about internment camps. Winning!

Obama would fall way further down the list….probably at the bottom if people mathematically understood the debt that he roped them into in both housing (all the mortgage workout scams) and higher education. ”People have to be able to afford their loans” he said. All he did was knowingly put people into the noose of unsustainable debt and then, when they were suffocating….he loosened it just enough in order to ensure that they would forever be a slave. Why not look at the cost of education rather than the cost of a loan? Because then he couldn’t ensnare the sheeple with a debt millstone. His housing workouts were especially egregious in states such as California where a person could have initially walked away from the toxic neg-am loan with no repercussions as a purchase money mortgage is non-recourse. This means you can walk away and not owe anything. As soon as the person was given any mortgage workout (usually done with a massive balloon payment tacked onto the end of the original 30 year mortgage which would require another 30 year mortgage to pay off (hello….generational debt slavery!), the loan would become full-recourse meaning that you could never walk away from the debt. Educational debt had the involvement of both political parties (don’t just point the fingers at the democrats oh ye conservatives) where students were slowly squeezed more and more until educational debt could not be expunged via bankruptcy. Unfortunately, most students were too I’ll prepared in high school to even understand the ramifications of signing on that dotted line. https://www.therollinsfirm.com/a-little-history-about-the-student-loan-bankruptcy-ban/ But it was Obama who pushed people into housing at the peak of the bubble and then subsequently into student debt. Biggest conman ever in my opinion. But people, even to this day, don’t understand what happened nor how it happened. Debt is the new slavery….and serfdom is back to stay.

Cut out the carbs. It was a game changer for me. Went from 6’3” 225 to 195 on keto and then to 180 on Carnivore. Blood pressure went from 130/90 to 110/70. All bloodwork perfect. Limitless energy. No more aches and pains. We Americans have been killing ourselves slowly due to our love affair with food.

Ad hominem. Next! Are you fat and unhealthy too?

Appeal to emotion. Not interested

I may be an a@#….but I’m an honest a@# I keep hearing from people who tell me about their healthy acquaintances who died of Covid. But when pressed to show me the proof of their health status they become defensive. I suspect they were healthy just like this kid… https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/19/health/teen-death-coronavirus-wellness-partner/index.html

Nice appeal to emotion. Link please. Anybody can claim anything.

I can’t wait to see the cute nurses doing their choreographed TikTok dances when the next pandemic comes around. Overworked? LOL. Nonsense. I dated a Covid ward nurse during covid. All she did was chat with me all day long and send selfies.

You must know a lot of fat, unhealthy people.

If you want make a doctors head explode in the US just say… ”Imagine how affordable health care would be if there was no insurance and no government funding” Of course, leftists will say “but how will the poor afford healthcare?” Easy. If there is nobody else paying the bill other than the customer, the healthcare industry will have to meet the market. Doctors will only be able to charge what the market can bear. When a 3rd party is paying the bills, there is no incentive for the consumer to control costs by being healthy via exercise and diet. You want to pay less for healthcare? Eat healthier and walk. Don’t be a fat slob. The same goes for housing (get the government out of backstopping mortgages and bailing out banks) and education (no more loans)

I’m thinking that when the time comes, I might as well eschew Medicare. Cheaper to just spend my twilight years in Thailand and when cash pay healthcare becomes unaffordable (I have insurance but don’t use it) just self administer my own palliative care.

When do some of recipients need to take responsibility for their own health? Why does SNAP cover the crap that these obese land whales stuff their pieholes with? over 1000 results for SNAP and EBT just for chocolate?!!! https://www.amazon.com/s?k=chocolate&rh=p_n_program_participation%3A17428820011&dc&ds=v1%3AmSXwuD%2Fy2RepJLgGJDauN%2B5vQ6NgA4YrZnnIr5eNFkA&crid=2IQ0VK4PZRYBC&qid=1733552509&rnid=17428819011&sprefix=Cho%2Caps%2C355&ref=sr_nr_p_n_program_participation_1 Are healthy people supposed to subsidize diets of Doritos and Mountain Dew? Why are these fatties not required to exercise? The ACA was a complete scam. I haven’t been able to buy health insurance through it ever. Instead, I was approved for Medicaid….only because I’m one of those people they can hit with the clawback provision but will not give me any control over the healthcare or provider I choose. That’s why I moved to Thailand.

Grade A humor. I’m thankful we didn’t lose you to the covid

Get on a high enough floor (15+) at Jamjuree (the two curved high rises down by Kao Takiab) and not only will you have a well constructed building (my opinion when I toured it) but you’ll have an unblockable view as it is my understanding that new builds can’t go over 8 stories anymore in that area.

Wow. Free Bread with some spread, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, ketchup and mayo. never seen that kind of generosity from a restaurant before. 🙄 The dinner looks pretty sad too. The salad looks like they had to strategically place every piece so that the plate wouldn’t show through. The fries and chicken don’t look all that great. Looks like a 200 baht meal max. add 10 baht for the egg. A whole 5 star chicken is 149 baht.

Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s got the 7 year itch and she’s just prepping herself for changing boyfriends.
