I read that the recent hurricane in Florida took out several EVs. This begs the question, what happens to an EV in a heavy rainstorm, or in a flash flood? Granted you’d have major electrical damage in your internal combustion vehicle in flash floods.

Isaan sailor replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
If you use ketchup on french fries—you don’t avoid sugar. It’s loaded—read.the label. -
If you’re single, in Pattaya—why not? Of course, if and when you bring a lady…it’s just not big enough…

Biden Team Isn’t Waiting for Impeachment to Go on the Offensive
Isaan sailor replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Just put Hunter, The Big Guy and Trump in prison—same cell block. And let’s start with a clean slate. -
We have a house in Isaan, and a house on the Gulf. We take many trips back and forth during the high season. We even go a few times in this low season. Takes 9-10 hours door to door. My Ranger has a 1000 km range with its 80-liter tank. I bring bicycles, clothes and even boat parts. It is our lifestyle and I wouldn’t change it. I have no use for an EV at present limitations.

Good one! You got me. Thanks.

I’m not anti-EV, but I won’t buy one until I can drive one fully loaded and charged for 700 km.

How ‘bout some free visas for Western tourists?

The Step Up Basis rule for capital gains in regard to inheritances has existed for almost 100 years. The Biden administration has considered cutting it back. That would cause complete panic on Wall St and Main St.

Did Ray Epps get a jail sentence? Asking for a friend… -
The retirement I have now in Thailand is the same or better than the retirement I would have had in America. The same until my American ex-wife divorced me. That pushed my retirement to Thailand. No regrets.

The Simple Reason Why You Wake Up Earlier As You Age
Isaan sailor replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I get more attention from my wife, when I wake up early. -
Thanks. I’ve read or heard both stories before. As for the 90% tax on the top income earners—most found and used loopholes to drastically reduce their tax burden. My grandfather had a small business in the 50’s. He found ways to prosper, despite the tax rate.

Most of us are millionaires here in Thailand—Baht millionaires. And that helps with the ladies, too.

Agree. I had a 30-year mortgage, used the mortgage interest tax write off, refinanced several times, and finally paid it off 10 years early when I retired.

They should make basic personal finance a requirement in all high schools. Better yet, for all people on public assistance. Learn to live within your means.

Sounds more like Bidenomics to me.

Runaway inflation. And hollowing out the manufacturing base. I think we are the last generation to retire comfortably—although to do it, some of us had to came here.

Money by itself doesn’t make me happy. But having money opens doors in my life.

Thai ladies.

Book economy seats, then upgrade at the gate to the mid-range seats—wider with lots more legroom. Some airlines will sell the upgrade for cheap, online. Sure beats 12+ hours in coach.

Interesting point—the locals understand “America” better, probably because we’re known as Americans. Too confusing for a Thai or someone in any other country when you label yourself an American from USA.

Japan should boycott Chinese products, in retaliation.
