ABC poll says the public blames Biden. I must admit, however, that I don't think Trump will do any more than he did in his first term, if elected. His only two pieces of legislation were tax breaks for billionaires and letting criminals out of jail early. Here is a pdf of the poll. https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2024-02/Topline ABC_Ipsos Poll Feb 10 2024 final PDF.pdf

WISE Transfers from USA
John Drake replied to G_Money's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Just to follow up. Today, I transferred the remainder of my tax fund--somewhat small than the sum mentioned above. It took 5 hours to go through. The only difference aside from the lesser amount is that I made the above transfer at 11:46am two days ago. Today, I made the transfer at 9:42am. I know that Bangkok Bank has an international desk for approving transfers that opens at either 10am or 10:30am, so maybe nothing goes through until then and somehow gets stacked up waiting to process.. Maybe they come in the office and also flip a switch for other low amount transfers. It's all magic. At least I got my money. Glad I didn't have to wait for the bank approval for paying up front for something like emergency heart surgery. -

She identifies as Chinese??? -
Before being allowed to board any commercial aircraft, all would be passengers should be required to submit a registered IQ identification card. No boarding for anyone with less than a 100 IQ. That will stop just about 95 percent of these type incidents.

How did she get into Laos with only $7? Used to be $5 cash but I think it's now $15. -

Air Pollution Crisis Escalates with Hotspots Surge
John Drake replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Looking at the prevailing winds this is what is blowing down into western Bangkok for the past three or four days. The entire Bangkok region to the north, west, and south is solid red for AQI (unhealthy). A line of fires running along the entire western border area. I don't think that's rice burning. -

Don't know that one either. It sounds really very interesting. -
Best Movie/Mini-series about the British Empire

What I find odd about Hindu India is that it doesn't seem to have the same dislike for the Moguls that it has for the British. Or does it? Anyway, I would think that a horde of invaders in vastly more numerous numbers who came into your country and forced you to convert to their religion would seem at least as harsh as one that sort of voluntarily went away. -

German tourist’s night out in Pattaya turns into nightmare
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Back in 1988, I wrote a brief letter of complaint to Lufthansa, because the flight from Bremen to London, which I often took, was almost always 90 minutes to 2 hours late. In return, I received a six page reply from Lufthansa, detailing flight plans, flight corridors, rules, airport slotting, and more. Single spaced. -

He's 46 years old. He probably still has some testosterone left. -
