Inflation is the rate of change. If after rising prices stay the same then the current inflation rate is 0.

Out of Trump's entire White House staff all but four refuse to endorse him for President. They're the one who know him best. Others who have come to know him well are his secret service detail, and it appears they collectively decided to let that kid get off a few rounds first before taking him down.

He became a convicted felon the moment the jury said so. Whatever sentence is handed down does not change that.

Inflation is a trailing indicator. Supply chain disruption, covid handouts, and opportunistic pricing all led to that inflation. No matter who had been president it would have happened. The only thing left was to bring it under control, and this administration did that.

After the only time I've ever fallen my helmet looked like this. That would have been my face instead.

The length of time varies by state, but yes you can.

At only 29 I'd guess he was going to use the money for a hair transplant.

They'll still blame Biden for that, and then say that's why Trump needs a third term just to straighten it all out. Ginny Clarence Thomas will write the court opinion.

Private insurance drives a lot of the problems with health care, especially in the US. I'm currently in a clinical trial for tirzepetide (Monjauro). They're trying to show that it reduces the chances of cardiovascular events among older people who've already had some sort of event. I'm not obese, but I have a stent. That, along with other factors, qualified me for the study. Right now insurance companies don't want to pay for the drug, but if Lilly can show that it does that then it will be standard for cardiologists to prescribe it to those patients, and insurance companies will cover it. by charging $1,000+ per month now, when it gets approved for that use they will have a gold mine. Their incremental cost per dose is apparently about $5, so it will be extraordinarily profitable for years. The drug itself is, in my personal experience, amazing. My blood pressure is now excellent, my a1c is very low, and my LDL cholesterol is well down. It's likely that I will remain healthy for longer because of it. fwiw I haven't experienced the side effects that some people do. There are two sides to big Pharma - the researchers, who are generally brilliant and really do want to help humanity, and the corporate side, who want to squeeze and squeeze every last dollar they can.

Fake? Do you think they made it up? It may or may not be right, but that doesn't make it fake.

You forgot "What was she wearing? Maybe she was asking for it"

Did you get your shoes yet?

You missed an opportunity to blame the vaccine. It clearly promotes stabbiness. "get the jab, yearn to stab"

To be fair, I've heard the cold bothers his bone spurs.

I wonder if the server can press charges. Defamation, perhaps? Is that a crime in Thailand, or just a tort?

This has to be an April Fools joke, right?

What do you mean? Because people will be coughing more? It's a bacterial infection. Air quality wouldn't directly cause it.

Perhaps the insurance companies got their advice from the forums here when they set low premiums for covid coverage. "These farangs say it's no big deal. Just a flu. So let's write these policies and rake in the dough."

You put it on the mosquito.

Expulsion doesn't require a crime. If 2/3 don't want you there, you're out. Doesn't matter what the reason is.

I made that drive many times back in the 90s. For most of the way you might as well be on Mars. There is a short turn-off named Zzyzx Road. I had to pee, and thought it was quite amusing to take a whiz on Zzyzx Road.

I used to do that. Now I go with stripes, for the slimming effect.

Maybe it was the guy sitting next to her. The one showing his phone's screen to the police. Just a hunch though.

For being mugged?

If you're not filing a US tax return and have no US assets there's little point to registering the divorce unless/until you plan to marry someone else. You may or may not find it useful in the future to explain to someone who is pressing you for marriage that you can't because you're still technically married in the US....
