    Leaving over priced scraps for the locals to pick through.

    The country could not be in a bigger mess if things had been left to a chimpanzee banging on a keyboard to make decisions.

    No strategic or tactical preparation for a tariff war with China whatsoever. No stockpiling of crucial materials, ingredients, or components. No preparation lining up alternative sources. Nothing. Just a big yutz in the White House shooting his mouth off and changing the details by the day and the hour.

    Just a trashy, undignified person.

    It's as if the country is being governed by a talk radio host.

    Just a couple of miles north of where I used to live, although I didn't recognize any of the street names around there. I do know I'd rather be here in the western suburbs of Bangkok than there.

    If you're manufacturing a computer in the US and need to import components from China, you pay 145 percent tariffs on the components. If you manufacture the computer in China, it comes into the US with zero tariffs.

    It's all part of the plan.

    Trump folded on Chinese tariffs and has now started begging for help. Just like he did in his first term. But he did manage to decimate the dollar and damage it as a reserve currency, making for its devaluation. Mission accomplished there. The man is a yutz.

    It might be more effective to charge the politicians and judges and administrators in sanctuary cities and states with the RICO act. The eventual adjudication might fail, but in the meantime RICO charges should allow the justice department to confiscate their savings and bank accounts and other assets before there is even a trial.

    Sort of hard because I went to the website and the drop menu for country of residence and Thailand was not an option.
  12. John Drake
    Because the Philippines has a long standing mostly positive relationship with the United States that is also culturally closer. It is currently fighting off Chinese aggression, while Thailand has become a satellite of China's, while Vietnam, no matter what they say, can never go against China, because China will cut off the Mekong if they do.

    I stopped doing mass transit during covid. Only taxis now. Just factor these differences in Thai/foreigner fares to the cost of living in Thailand.
  14. John Drake
    US needs to focus on the Philippines, not Thailand and especially not Vietnam.

    NASDAQ call volume spiked minutes before the 90 day tariff pause was announced. Not a good look at all.
