Yup. But a lot of yapping in other places too.

5,000 flights cancelled due to <deleted>e infrastructure, but hockey game won!

hoooray. the richest country wins a hockey match. anything else is on TV?

No real point in going moderate - MAGA won't cross over. They don't like war heroes and really only seem to like billionaires or debutantes with their ears pinned back.

Apologies if this has been asked many times before - I couldn't find it via search. I've somehow deleted and lost my most recent TDAC card. My appointment for visa (Non-B) renewal is coming up soon. How can I get the TDAC card reprinted? My agent is insisting that I need it. Thanks.

Which is great for Trump. But how is it for America?

MBs are short, usually less than 20 minutes. This wasn't a microburst.

Sad. It's not a team sport you know. This is governance, not dunking a basketball. Grow up.

I love how this post is totally wrong on several fronts.

Or that people realised they were lied to and now don't trust the experts not to be lying again?

You sound like Trump: "Let [the workers, shareholders, and local communities where these planes are built ] eat cake." You're now disqualified from this discussion.

Thailand's economy has grown and its governance system has evolved. Today there is a greater understanding of risk. I'm sure you wouldn't want a bunch of barely financially viable Thais showing up on your doorstep unannounced; why would anyone in Thailand want to have the same from you? As others have noted, you bring risk, potential costs, and other "externalities" with you that need to be funded somehow. When the country was poorer that was a risk Thais wanted to take for the sake of local development. Today they have other options.

Do you really believe no one has ever tried to cut federal spending before, or are you just trying to gaslight us? Not only did Clinton do it, he did it on a bigger scale. But wait, guess who suddenly decided at that time that cutting taxes and reducing the deficit was BAD??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_Bill_Clinton_administration In proposing a plan to cut the deficit, Clinton submitted a budget and corresponding tax legislation (the final, signed version was known as the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993) that would cut the deficit by $500 billion over five years by reducing $255 billion of spending and raising taxes on the wealthiest 1.2% of Americans.[5] It also imposed a new energy tax on all Americans and subjected about a quarter of those receiving Social Security payments to higher taxes on their benefits.[6] Republican Congressional leaders launched an aggressive opposition against the bill, claiming that the tax increase would only make matters worse. Republicans were united in this opposition, and every Republican in both houses of Congress voted against the proposal. In fact, it took Vice President Gore's tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass the bill.[7] After extensive lobbying by the Clinton Administration, the House narrowly voted in favor of the bill by a vote of 218 to 216.[8] The budget package expanded the earned income tax credit (EITC) as relief to low-income families. It reduced the amount they paid in federal income and Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA), providing $21 billion in savings for 15 million low-income families.

Remember when Trump was going to bring peace to the Middle East but the only thing that happened was more war and his son in law made billions?

Is this the same administration that said it would end the fighting in gaza and ukraine on Day 1? Wow, must be a sale today on suckers.
