  1. I'm real picky about my sheets, and won't buy them unless I feel them first. Central dept store has the best I've found in Thailand. Expensive, but worth it.
  2. If they make it illegal for a foreigner to buy a condo only for investment to rent out, it would keep rents more stable.
  3. But he can pause allowing in all asylum seekers. That would stop the problem immediately.
  4. Nearly 72 percent of all job gains since 2021 were simply jobs that were being recovered from the pandemic, not new job creation. In fact, when looking at today’s economy compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment is up only by 3.7 million, not 13 million. https://budget.house.gov/press-release/fact-check-setting-the-record-straight-on-bidenomics
  5. The deficit was $1.7 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended September 30, according to Treasury Department data released Friday. That marks a $320 billion, or 23%, increase from the prior fiscal year. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/20/politics/federal-budget-deficit/index.html
  6. Trump vs Biden. I vote none of the above.
  7. If it doesn't include Nana plaza and soi Cowboy it's incomplete and I'm not interested, 555
  8. I have no problem getting filmed for personal use, but when they put it up on the net for the whole world to see, I should have the right to have my face pixelated, but sadly in many countries I don't have that right.
  9. I like iced tea, with lemon, no sugar. Very refreshing.
  10. With less than 1/10th the population of the US, I would just assume it's a nicer place to live.
  11. Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act does allow the president — if finding “that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens ... would be detrimental to the interests of the United States” — to “by proclamation ... suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants”. President Trump famously utilized § 212(f) to bar the entry of aliens from certain countries in order to enhance vetting capabilities for detecting the attempted entry into the U.S. by terrorists or other public-safety threats. The Supreme Court upheld this suspension, concluding that the § 212(f) power “exudes deference to the President in every clause ... [and] vests [him] with ‘ample power’ to impose entry restrictions in addition to those elsewhere enumerated in the INA”.
  12. The law says not in public, a bar is private property so It's not breaking the law. And I'll only do it if the bar has no customers, easy to find in Pattaya. I never drink or smoke and drive, if you do it's very foolish and dangerous for everyone else on the road.
  13. I wouldn't expect anything else from you.
  14. The truth is Biden can at least temporarily solve the immigration issue by executive order, if he wanted to.
  15. Then who wrote your post, chatgpt?
  16. You're just going to the wrong shops.
  17. I've smoked weed in bars after asking permission, it's private property.
  18. Thai govt does a lot of talking, but very little action. Nothing will change except maybe getting a DR's script, which will be cheap and very easy to get. I went to this one dispensary in Bangkok, right at the start of this cannabis boom when the only thing they sold was THC oil, and the DR's prescription was copied and free to all customers.
  19. Yep, it's funny how people use statistics to prove whatever bias they have, but when you go to the grocery store, or the gas station, reality can't be denied.
  20. Most of those jobs are just re-hires after the pandemic. Net worth going up is because people's houses exploded in value. But that's just paper wealth, people need somewhere to live.
  21. 6.6% rise for shelter, that's ridiculous. House prices and rents have exploded under Biden.
  22. That's laughable. Do you know anybody working in the US?
