Lacessit

I give it 6-12 months before Americans realize what a horrendous error of judgment they have made. Trump saying I'm for you is BS. He is only for himself, it's like Casanova saying he's for celibacy.

A billionaire supporter of Trump smearing Harris? How unusual. Meantime, Trump looted multiple PAC's to pay his legal bills. IMO America has lost its mind.

I daresay he achieved more fame than you with his observations. Still working on an answer to my arrears question?

That should not be a surprise if you are employing them for other purposes.

Read "One More Sunday" or "Condominium" They are fictional, but serious commentaries on American society as well.

Why is it no American I meet has ever heard of John D MacDonald? One of your greatest authors. So good his book The Executioners was made into the film "Cape Fear" not once, but twice. Max Cady was acted by Robert Mitchum, the later version was Robert DeNiro.

I can say Riverside Condo in Chiang Mai is reasonably well run. Sorry, I don't want to share my present condo location.

I am not a boomer. I am before them. I can assure you the world did not make much sense when I was young either.

Disagree. IMO Mexicans voted for Trump because they are staunch Catholics, and inherently conservative.

IIRC when bitcoin started, they were worth about 10 cents. As more were mined, the scarcity value of what was left increased. There may be also a cost factor, they are gluttons for electrical energy. I know enough about them to realize I would get burnt if I ventured into that market. I've never lost money on gold, silver and platinum. I stick with what I know.

I enjoyed the work I did. I probably could have made more money climbing the management tree, not interested. I created some things that are still in use today 40 years later. I was a positive influence on several co-workers, who flew higher than I wanted to. I am grateful I enjoyed my work. I can't imagine how boring it must be for people who just turn up for a paycheck.

Problem is, they all think they are GOAT's.

Only because it is a Ponzi scheme. Crypto is like a religion, belief in something that can't be seen. Outside a computer screen, it's nothing. Gold and silver are real. They have industrial applications. The computer screen or smartphone you look at to track bitcoin contains gold and silver, as does 99% of them worldwide. Governments don't like fungibles beyond their control. Why do you think the US government banned Americans from owning gold bullion for 40 years?

No incels in NZ. That's what the sheep are for.

The trick in Thailand is to find a condo with competent management.

Please. The word you are trying to use is ELICIT. Illicit has an entirely different meaning, and is an adjective, not a verb.

My average life expectancy is 5 years. Maybe sooner, maybe not. I have survived 4 different types of cancer. I do find myself wondering about people I used to know, whether they are still alive, or if they have passed on. My condolences to the OP. I have lost two good friends to brain cancer, IMO it is one of the cruelest forms of cancer to have.

I noticed a lot of minority groups who should know better did. Buyer's remorse will be coming soon enough.

Chalk this one up, one of the very few times I agree with you.

That's because it is not the same truth as yours, which you get spoon-fed by Fox News and Truth Social.

You're not handsome enough to get it for free, and you talk about fuglies? I'm wondering if you can even see what's down below.

They will be raped and killed by rednecks instead. Women of the right will be spared. I am quite sure you don't realize how humorous some of your posts are.

I know several decent men who were taken to the cleaners by gold-diggers. When things come up short, as you put it, will you trust the law of the land, or have a cast-iron pre-nup?

You may be right. How many government policy-makers are lawyers?

I would have thought, given your occupation, you would be familiar with the multiple abuses that have occurred. Kew Cottages or Larundel ring any bells?
