Everybody has to choose their battles. Maybe for him this is a fight he wants to pursue. It's people like him that fight for their principles that make life better for the rest of us.

Why not? His work is more relevant than ever before.

It's not how deep you fish, it's how you wiggle the worm.

Yeah, but really he's such an easy target.

That's true but it usually takes the form of the small white levered directly beneath the ice dispenser chute

Not really. It makes us both look like fools. Telling somebody how smart you are will always lead to well deserved abuse.

This is not really true. You can always confront the establishment face to face. It's when you publish things that you incur risk.

Me too. I cant help myself.

I am so much smarter than you that I don't bother to read your columns.

Trump represents the lowest possible state of human consciousness. He therefore serves as a reference point at the lowest end of the scale. Same as "Dead as a doornail" or "Stupid as a bag of hammers", etc. For example: "he/she/it is as stupid/venal/immoral/unethical/childish/deceitful as trump" .

I guess they hated the 2% inflation, low gas prices, peace treaties, and elimination of ISIS. ############# If you are implying that the orange clown had anything to do with that you're badly deluded.

All the people in other topics saying my worries about being forced to use phone apps for banking were unfounded, well, let's see what happens when you have your money disappear into one of these digital black holes. ############ I have steadfastly refused to install banking and similar apps on my phone. I always imagine sleepless nights over a lost or stolen phone. I try to avoid exposure.

Not really. I bought my house in huahin that way and paid at the land office. Very common.

I agree with the OP, but I shudder at the devastating consequences of an expat bar closing in Phuket.

Because engaging people while Trump is president who consistently ask why we voted in an absolute moron, is tiresome and it's better to just deflect by saying I'm Canadian. =======///// I've been doing that for years. I arrived here in 2016

It happens to many people, usually no sleep, stress. With me it's the upper lid left eye. . several times over last few decades. No worries .

Unlike many other banks BB cannot issue 12 month statement on the spot. Suggest that you photocopy bank book pages for last 12 months. Highlight the monthly transfers. When does your permission of stay expire. Good luck. =============== I had the same issue two years ago at hua hin Immigration office. Bangkok Bank advised me to take copies of last 12 months from my pass book and then they signed it. HuaHin Immigration grumbled a bit but accepted it. They advised me to get a timed account and money in that. That's what I've used since with no problem. May just be the luck of the draw. good luck to OP.
