Digital wallet as social engineering
jas007 replied to Lorry's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I forgot about certain restrictions that were recently imposed in the EU. No cash transactions above a certain amount. And people are OK with that? In the US, people can use cash whenever they want. When I was a little kid, my parents sold our house because they were buying another. Anyway, from what I was told, the buyer showed up at the closing with a suitcase full of money. No problem. Later it turned out he was a loan shark and was murdered in the backyard by someone. I guess all that cash at the closing might not have been legitimate. -

Maybe Iran won’t fall for the bait? The U.S. warmongers desperately want a war with Iran, and currently, the President of the U.S. is not all there, mentally. So with Biden sidelined, the war machine may have more influence than usual. That’s dangerous. Anyway, preparations for war are underway. We should all hope the situation doesn’t escalate. WWIII cannot be won.

Digital wallet as social engineering
jas007 replied to Lorry's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I understand. I guess my point was that things seem to be moving in the direction whereby they can eventually control people. Surveillance first, then active control. It’s not a big step. And a CBDC isn’t absolutely necessary for at least some degree of control. Just the other day I read about credit card companies not allowing for charges for certain items, like firearms. And look what they did in Canada to some people who supported the truckers. Didn’t they freeze bank accounts? Personally, I think people might eventually find other ways to transact business. Why put money in a bank that is going to tell you how to spend it? -

The GLOBALISTS would very much like to establish a CBDC as a tool to control people. I think China already does this in some other fashion. I don’t know much about Thailand’s Digital Wallet, though. Probably just an easy way to distribute the 10,000 baht. Anyway, anyone with an IPhone has a digital wallet. You can add credit cards, debit cards, and so on. -
Cardiologist with focus on preventative care
jas007 replied to voyagerUSA's topic in Health and Medicine
YouTube has some good information available. Look up Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, M.D. He’s a practicing cardiologist in Florida. Anyway, he has lots of good videos addressing the topic of our diets and how to stay healthy. -
Men dominating 'Women's Sports @ Paris Olympics'
jas007 replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
It’s not fake. At this point, the story is all over the internet. The bloodwork says male. And the IOC has some explaining to do. Women’s sports exist for a reason. Sports for women, not every idiot that wakes up and decides it would be easier to win a medal as a woman. Is that your argument? You’re a woman if you say you’re a woman? If that’s not stupid, I’m not sure what is. -
Men dominating 'Women's Sports @ Paris Olympics'

This morning I saw a video about the release of the bloodwork on the two boxers. Both male. Unless it’s a fake video, I guess that’s that. -

You keep avoiding the issue. Typical. Face it, you can’t deal with reality, so you parrot left wing talking points, as if that settles the matter. Try thinking, for a change. You’re embarrassing yourself with all the nonsense. It’s not a pretty picture. They have women’s sports for a reason. And yet, in your fantasyland, any self-proclaimed “woman” can compete. And so, real biological females lose out, all because some people can’t deal with the fact that there are very real differences between men and women. That’s not a bad thing. That’s just the way it is. -

And how do you know that? Because the IOC said so? What are the chromosomes? And you don’t know that, because the information is being hidden. -

And the IOC is full of it. And you still won’t answer the question. Women’s sports exist for good reason. What the IOC decides is beside the point. Of course, if they want to hold competitions that are a mockery of common sense, I guess that’s their right. However, real females should be allowed to compete with other real females. If not, why have the category at all? Why not have just “boxing”? Any human being can compete. And the fake “women” wouldn’t stand a chance. -
Perhaps. But the seasonal aspect is just one factor. And who do you think is buying all the bonds?

There were times in my life when all you had to do was follow me around do the opposite of everything I did. You could be a multimillionaire by now.

jas007 replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
So your point is that all females are women, but not all women are females? The whole “woman” thing is silly, if you ask me. Women’s sports exist for a reason. And yet some people can’t deal with reality, so they engage in linguistic nonsense. -
Just out of curiosity, what is the typical yearly cost for accident and liability insurance in Thailand? I might buy a car at some point, but so far, I’m doing ok without one.

A global adjustment of overvalued assets. Some people think it’s primarily the result of the unwinding of the Yen carry trade and too much leverage in the system. Banks may be in trouble, for sure. There’s also a seasonal aspect and, in any event, many assets have been in bubble territory for far too long and are due for a correction. We might see a sharp reversal sometime soon, but don’t count on it. The typical bear market lasts 18 months or so. One way or the other, it can be an opportunity. Personally, I’m fine so long as the ATM machines keep dispensing Thai baht.

So in your fantasy world, anyone can be a woman? There are biological women and there are biological men. That’s it. And biological women should not have to compete against biological men. -
Apparently, there’s no good reason why a human can’t do well on a carnivore diet. It may take a while to adjust, but otherwise, you’ll be fine. And for some people, a carnivore diet can be a real game changer, as many diseases are the result of systemic inflammation caused by all the junk they put into processed food. Of course, many doctors will tell you otherwise.

"Regrets" versus "best thing I ever did".
jas007 replied to swissie's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I’m not sure what I was thinking when I was 20 years old. My time horizon wasn’t that large. I was in college and trying to have as much fun as possible. I figured the future would just work itself out. Fast forward 50+ years and I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up. Regrets? I don’t waste much time thinking about what could have been. It happened, I made those choices, and I couldn’t go back and change anything, even if I wanted to. As for the best thing I ever did? I can’t identify any one thing, but some of the best decisions I ever made came from stepping outside of the so-called comfort zone. Quitting a job, for example. Or retiring early. I’m sure some people thought I was nuts, but so what? I’ll take time over money, any day. -
The defense industry doesn’t exist to defend America. It exists primarily to enrich its owners at the expense of taxpayers. To be sure, it does a good job of enriching the arms merchants. The public doesn’t notice, though, as the media churns out propaganda 24/7 and the expense of it all is simply added to the public debt. That will work well until it doesn’t.

The Russians have no intention of expanding the conflict. They didn’t even want the current conflict, but they saw the expansion of NATO as an existential threat. Putin has been saying as much for years, but the Western warmongers didn’t listen. And so we have the narrative that Putin wants to reassemble the old Soviet Union. That’s silly. It’s a recipe for bankruptcy.

The whole “weird” thing is just the current tactic to smear the Republican candidates. They need to change the narrative once in a while.
