Mutual fund investment income will not be taxed, which is the opposite of what used to be.

 

Noticed that too. 😃  but all speculation until they actually set out what the rules will be.

Cue up three and a half months more expat shop talking.

Things that can happen, when you holiday in a non nanny state.  Unfortunately not spelled out specifically in tourist brochures and travel articles. Still there could be another reason, unless we have CCTV footage we will never know.

Repost this over here. Rand Paul has always been a nutter. Great to see him so deep in excrement, it is coming out his ears now. Also no mention of this on the FOX media website. You can do this if you are NOT a news organization, and FOX is not a news site by legal judgement in the USA. It is a media entity 'that gives opinions about the news'. Basically a definition of a propaganda site. Amazing how many mouthbreathers do not understand that.




 

If only Georgia had mandatory carry for students, they would have been able to stop this.

Ah yes  Rand Paul is so deep into it, it is coming out of his eyelids. Putin keeps that money flowing to the US Right wing Republicans.

Its the inanimate brain behind the trigger finger!

Absolutely. Still the fact remains the USA makes absurdly easy for sick minds to get a machine that makes killing so easy.  Of the six people I, in someway knew who have been killed by guns, not one was killed by a criminal. Just sick people that had easy access to a guns. And help from the NRA. One of those people had a restraining order, but police could not confiscate his weapons thanks to laws enacted in my state, with NRA backing.
 

Thanks NRA!

... and if your child was slapped by a teacher (hard enough to bleed) then see how you feel about it....

Yeah well, as we usually get only one side of the story, from the media here in LOS, and blaming foreigners is a sport these days.   I am withholding throwing rocks at the Filipina teacher. I doubt we will ever actually know what happened.  

We are going to have a boom.  Happy Days Are Here Again!

But you don't seem to give a whit about the thirteen servicemen that were killed as a result Biden-Harris incompetence in regard to the withdrawal

And you do? We were in Afghanistan & Iraq because of the Bushmaster. So it is not like Repubs really care about it in the first place. The only reason it comes up now, Trump needs to try & smear someone or something. It is the only way he knows how to campaign. That is why he was out doing PR photos, in a cemetery among people he has said are suckers and losers. Against rules but hey, The Donald doesn't care.

Im not sure it applies to a murder case but they usually get shipped back home after a few years, one English guy I know of did 8 years here then shipped back to the UK, 

Famous Chiang Mai case of the 'vegetarian ventilator'. She ended up with a sentence of two and a half years for premeditated murder. However as she and the victim were both westerners  .... may bpen rai. 

 

Theya re as relevant today as they have ever been. They rarely win elections, but they tip governments.
They funded the anti Thaksin movement. The deep pockets behind it all.
Sondhi leading up to the 06 coup
Suthep & PAD, the yellows,  leading up to the 2014 coup. 
They create enough instability,  then the greens step in.

Currently they are the money behind the ultroyalists/ultra monarchists, opposing the reform movements of the last couple years, and of course trying to blame it all on evil outsiders seeking to destabilize the kingdom.    

As for Mr Chuan, one should remember his antics as PM  in the post Kader Fire investigation. He either thought he was going to get a big payday from those evil US companies, or blame it on them, back in the globalization yelping days. However, Shock, Gasp, Horror,  it was  revealed that Disney & Mattel did not own Kader. In fact a Thai conglomerate; CP group did. A member of which was in his very own governing cabinet. Woops. Legend has it, Thai 's from the Los Angeles, & UCLA, were critical in untangling just who owned Kader Toy Factory.

Putin ain't going anywhere, far far stronger leader than any western ones!

The Russians know that. Only one way Putin will end up. When you have had so many of your enemies & friends pushed out of windows, you know what is coming.  He is strong, until he is not, and then an unfortunate accident. 

Always wondered why there hasn't been more of this here in Thailand. One of my first trips to Indonesia back in the aughts. Ended up assisting an Aussie couple there to pick up there son. Take him home. Painful & ugly. As a spirit drinker myself, something you never forget.
