  1. African-American. What the hell is wrong with saying someone is black? I don't mind being called white.
  2. Natural selection is alive and well in politics. Everybody favors the politicians who tell them what they want to hear. A candidate who expresses harsh truths is weeded out in pre-selection even before they get to face the voters. That is why scientists and engineers are almost invisible in politics, and also why it is dominated by lawyers.
  3. They need it more, they usually have children, parents and grandparents in Isaan to support.
  4. You got on without paying for a ticket?
  5. Biden comes across to me as a decent person. Trump surrounded himself with people who told him what he wanted to hear, and stroked his ego. Biden has had the sense to recruit competent people to the various portfolios. AFAIK there are none of the ructions that went on with the Trump lieutenants. As for Harris, she is the bane of every insecure male - a smart and savvy woman.
  6. You think he is probably right? AFAIK putting up prices reduces demand, it's basic economics. Even Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are capable of admitting they are wrong occasionally.
  7. I don't think I was reading disinformation, just predictions of pollsters that did not come true. Not the first time they have wound up with egg on their face.
  8. I was not aware of that. I just have the injection. I have never been offered nitrous oxide.
  9. IMO p##sing off all women voters except the religious ratbags was a gift to the Democrats from the Supreme Court, when it turned down Roe vs. Wade. Trump then made it worse for Republicans by endorsing the decision.
  10. It does seem to reflect classic Thai thinking. When one has less customers, put the prices up to keep the bottom line the same. I suspect many smaller businesses go down the tube with that kind of mindset, I doubt this guy will because of his financial mass. I don't know if he has shareholders, I would not want to be one.
  11. They need anything that can walk and talk, given what's happening to their troops in Ukraine.
  12. It was a joke, Joyce. Based on another thread the OP has going. The fact the agent is pressing the OP to pay a deposit without sighting the deed shrieks dodgy to me, no need to proceed to your thorough checklist.
  13. One good thing to come out of this, the madness of the Trump cult has been repudiated. The message has even registered with Republicans. No need to wonder what's going to happen to the "campaign" funds Trump has sucked in from the sheeple.
  14. Walk away. The deed may have a caveat or debt attached, which would be why the owner or real estate agent does not want you to see it. Did you check the condo balcony for pigeon poo?
  15. Evasive. You expect to sell without a buyer doing due diligence?
  16. Poor guy, perhaps he is down to his last Lamborghini. How did he get to be so rich with such a dumb proposition? Inheritance?
  17. Anything can be done if the price is right, even that information has not been posted. Do you shop on Lazada with a blindfold?
  18. Do it now, your passport is no longer valid for any international travel. Most countries want 6 months. If you are in Chiang Mai, Ronald Elliot ( Honorary Consul) is the guy you need to talk to ASAP. IIRC, it took about 3 weeks to get my new one in 2019.
  19. I used to believe in natural selection. Now I'm not so sure, because the morons seem to be increasing in number every year.
  20. Some data from the OP would be appreciated, such as Profit and Loss statements for the years of operation, bad debts, a current balance sheet of assets and liabilities, inventory. And of course, what price the OP wants for this business opportunity. So far, all I see is advertising.
  21. I am on WISE, thanks. However, the year I tried the income method was about 6 years ago, when I wasn't even on its predecessor. I agree, WISE is very effective and transparent.
  22. The problem with the monthly income route is ensuring the exchange rate on foreign currency coming in is above 65,000 baht/month, anything under will be seized upon. I tried that basis for a year, gave it up as a major PITA. Of course, if you have a lot more than that being transferred monthly, it isn't a problem.
