The Canadian method is fair. The key is that the Canadian Pension (or Quebec pension) plans are not involved, although they are treated as general income and subject to income tax on the sliding scale. At the highest income tax level, (depending on region), people still keep approx. 50% of their pension income. Canada Old Age Security, like that of many European countries is intended to assist old people of limited financial means, which is why it is subject to income thresholds. I am not a fan of looking at a person's assets, because it punishes people for being responsible and saving. it rewards not saving, and the sacrifice that often goes along with it. The US change to increase the deduction for residential mortgage payments is the worst move. It encourages people to take on more debt. Too many deductions and loopholes. It would be best for everyone to reduce deductions and to adjust the tax rate accordingly.

The man engaged in a criminal activity. Soliciting a prostitute is a crime. If the prostitute was a minor, it is also a crime. The man was engaged in an unlawful activity and is asking the police to intervene. For all we know, he may have tried to renege on payment. I would not be surprised if he had tried to cheat the prostitute. The type of person who uses the services of a transgender street hooker can not be mistaken for someone decent.

No. Blaming "Biden's America" for the use of a term that has been around for 100+ years requires an intentional hate, or a really blatant ignorance. The term transwoman is anything but woke. It is an accurate description and was in use before the simple minded came along to label people. The prostitutes are neither ladies, nor boys. Trans is an accurate term because it indicates that a person is not a woman. The term Trans is derived from the term Transsexual as noted by pioneering medical doctor Magnus Hirschfeld in 1923. The man paid for his research and compassion ( and his jewish heritage) with his career as his German citizenship was revoked by the Nazi government He fled to France, where he died. His work was picked up by former US Army psychiatrist David Cauldwell who started using the term in formal medical journals and studies circa 1949 with his essay Psychopathia Transexualis to describe individuals whose sex assigned at birth was different from their gender identity. Dr. Cauldwell died deep in the heart of bible thumping Texas. He was not woke.

You are confusing the use of drugs that were reviewed and tested with drugs that were promoted without any clinical evidence to support their use. You are relying on vested interest platforms and tiktok self appointed experts for your guidance. Covid 19 is an inflammatory disease. That is why Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, was tried. Tt was shown to reduce deaths in patients with severe COVID-19 who were are hospitalized with low oxygen levels. It was not a miracle cure, but significantly helped when used with other treatment.. The drug was low cost, proven safe and had been on the market for years. The use of the drug was tested without bias and proved far more beneficial than ivermectin. The 2020 studies that promoted ivermectin were misinterpreted by the general public. In the cases where there was a positive outcome, the interpretation did not take into account normal recovery nor the impact of other therapies. The fact is that since the end of the Covid 19 crisis, there have been no clinical studies, no evidence to support the benefit of the drugs use. For example, research led by the University of Oxford has concluded that the antiparasitic drug ivermectin does not provide clinically meaningful benefits for treating COVID-19 in a largely vaccinated population. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0163445324000641 Multiple studies have the same conclusion. There was no conspiracy of silence. The conspiracy promoters attach a suppression conspiracy to the use of ivermectin, claiming "Big pharma wanted to block a low cost drug", but ignore the fact that dexamethasone, was of low cost and was actually effective, and was not blocked. You reference Raoult and his use of hydroxychloroquine. Yet, you do not acknowledge that his claims were shown to be FALSE and unsupported. His 2020 paper in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents (IJAA), claimed that treatment with hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, reduced virus levels in samples from COVID-19 patients, and that the drug was even more effective if used alongside the antibiotic azithromycin. The paper claiming the drugs benefits was retracted. The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) journals that published the papers announced they were retracting all six of his papers, along with a seventh by Raoult’s colleagues on the basis of methodology failures, breaches of ethics and lack of verified evidence. Further investigation, demonstrated systemic research breaches for 15 years. The man was a sham and he destroyed the reputation of the research institute where he worked. Not once have I ever seen any of the Covid19 conspiracy promoters acknowledge this. The Covid conspiracy promoters latched on to the studies and still cite them as evidence of a miracle treatment. They ignore facts like the initial paper only used a sample size of 36 patients and had an unusually short peer-review time: The paper was submitted on 16 March 2020 and published 4 days later. Elisabeth Bik exposed the manipulation of data when she discovered that six patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine had been dropped from the study—one of whom had died, and three of whom had transferred to intensive care—which would have shown that the drug was not effective as claimed. The study in effect presented people who would have recovered without the drug as having benefited from the drug. Larger, more rigorous trials carried out later in 2020 showed hydroxychloroquine did not benefit COVID-19 patients. The problem that many cultures continually face is that people are conditioned to expect a quick solution, an immediate gratification. People tend to embrace simplistic solutions when they are overwhelmed by a complex problem that they cannot manage. Have an illness, take a pill. Reproduce at an older age after a life of exposure to toxins and have a damaged child, blame vaccines, Experience a catastrophic flood, and it's because of cloud seeding etc.

the mules know what they are doing. They think it is easy luchre. Warnings won't work. A few examples need to be made to serve as a deterrent.

The accused is 28 years old and his website is sketchy. His Linked In account is all over the place He has quite the imagination. His listed job is that of CEO of Atlas Light Co. https://www.imladrisai.com/team-and-independent-advisory Interestingly enough he claims multiple relationships with UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel Latvia, Lithuania, and others. None of his posted information is anti american or anti Trump. Curiouser and curiouser. I have a hunch he is a few cards short of a full deck.

President Obama did not send pallets of cash. The USA complied with a court order to return the money Iran had paid for the purchase of arms that the USA had then cancelled. Multiple court judgements found in favour of Iran. There was a court order to return the money. The US government at the time followed the rule of law. Plastering the forum with malicious untruthful claims is not expressing an opinion. It is ignorant and a reflection of someone who does not believe in the rule of law or in respect for a court order. Had the US not obeyed the court ruling which had dragged out for decades, US commercial businesses around the world would have lost all legal protection because foreign governments could have followed the US precedent.

Did Europe fall apart? Did the people of Spain run about screaming that the sky is falling? They did what people for centuries have done when there is a catastrophic event. They panic first, then get annoyed, then cope and then, most look to helping others. There was no widescale looting, People did not run down the streets crying and fearful that the world was ending. When the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, it was awful for 72 hours, and then the country got itself organized and responded. When the wildfires devastated Australia, Canada and the USA. people's lives were destroyed, but society did not unravel. The people came together and there was mutual assistance. Society recovered and is still recovering. Everyone has an obligation and a duty to be able to go 72 hours without assistance. In rural areas this should be 120 hours. We have to take responsibility for ourselves until a response can be mounted. Catatstrophes happen everyday and people who are prepared get through it easier than those who are not.

The article reference you provide was a commissioned opinion. It was not a peer reviewed paper, but the commentary of the editor of the BMJ. It must be taken in context. The opinion was given in 2020, before the vaccines were available and when there was a degree of disarray and panic by some within the medical research sector. Multiple alternative treatments were being promoted and his intent was to question them. The concerns of frontline health workers on the spread of the disease was, in his view, not being listened to, because of political pressures to keep public places open and to minimize disruptions. Since 2020, he has put his comments in context and walked back some of his position that was misinterpreted. In 2022 he provided a clearer position which is contrary to what you assume his position was and is. Some of his statements are arguments that there should have been a more forceful response to the pandemic and that the UK government failed because it did not work with other nations to adopt a worldwide strategy. It’s clear policy-makers did not live the value of being evidence-based. (and he cites the example of Being patient-centred) To take the example of asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and the recent judgments relating to what happened in care homes: the government tried to deny that it knew about asymptomatic transmission. Yet this was something people were talking about at the beginning of the pandemic. If you’d read the evidence or spoken to anyone about the experience of East Asia, and of other pandemics, you would understand that asymptomatic transmission is possible and needs to be catered for. To pretend that this evidence did not exist is certainly not following the evidence. His reference to asymptomatic transmission is the exact opposite of what the Covid conspiracy claims promoters say. People who did not have symptoms were transmitting the infections. It is in effect a call for reduced interactions, i.e. stopping large gatherings, required masking etc. He was criticizing the reluctance of the UK government to apply more forceful measures. You have demonstrated what happens when an uneducated and biased person goes in search of credible documentation to support a deficient assumption. I used to be a lot more tolerant of contrary opinions on this subject, but the amount of ignorance and the continued promotion of garbage claims is an attack on science. An attack on science is an assault on freedom and must no longer be tolerated. You can't even read an opinion piece properly.

You do not know if he was a "leftist". He is not much of a bomber nor given to planning, because he quickly gave up. How did he manage to assemble the parts for a molotov cocktail? Surely, in super security fixated Israel, someone would have noticed. Is anyone else wondering if he was helped along the way? Of all the places for a foreign visitor to try and bomb, a US facility in Israel would be the least likely because of the security. Something isn't right with this. And awfully fast extradition. I would have expected the court appointed legal counsel to delay the procedure for weeks if not months.

What if the toys were contaminated or defective? Toys are regularly recalled because of poor construction that can result in a child being injured. Other tomes the material if contaminated or toxic.

AI will not price out programmers. It might remove the mediocre misfits, but there will always be errors with AI and a need to develop new software. The good software developers and programmers will always have a job and be as necessary as always.

The expansion to other regions is planned for the end of 2025. This is an important milestone because tourist high season is when the largest profits are made. One of the reasons why the app is English language emphasized is that the developers had done market research and realized that there are many foreigners who want to order from different restaurants, but are hesitant to do so because of their poor Thai language skills. Robinhood is setting up the infrastructure and hiring the personnel to support additional geographic areas. There are more than 2 delivery options (Lineman and Grab) because Shoppee also delivers food. Hopefully, Robinhood will be more fair to drivers than the other 3.

The history of the Robinhood app is positive. It started during Covid as a food delivery platform. Siam Commercial Bank's parent entity SCB Group financed the start up. SCB Group's SCBX entity came up with the idea of creating a “Robinhood” food delivery application, inspired by the securities trading firm of the same name that does not charge service fees. SCBX has a mission to make finance simple, accessible, and affordable for all through the power of technology and innovations. Employing the same concept, the new food delivery platform did not charge any subscription, GP (Gross Profit), or other fees. Eateries were able to recoup the full amount of their costs, allowing them to sell better quality food and offer larger portions. Customers benefited by paying the actual food and delivery costs without extra charges. The platform also allowed shop owners easier and quicker access to loans. The company was then sold in September 2024 to a consortium led by the Yip In Tsoi Group, a Thai business group. The new owners say that they are committed to continuing Robinhood's mission of connecting people with merchants and supporting the Thai economy. (Although I suspect, not on the altruistic format in place previously.) The total transaction value was declared as up to 2 billion baht, consisting of an initial payment of 400 million baht and an additional performance-based payment of up to 1.6 billion baht.

Oh yes, Thai women choose to be beaten up by an abusive person. Sure.

And that is one of the reasons why you are still alive at 87 and hopefully have a few more years to go.

Where is this great suppression? The scientific journals require that submissions provide a factual basis and demonstrable evidence and none of the great "truth tellers" you reference is able to provide empirical evidence, actual clinical data to support their claims. Almost all of the "medical" detractors had a financial or political interest in their alternative treatments and/or claims. There are the "doctors" who sell alternative treatments, and then there are the "doctors" who really are not specialists in the field with their political agendas.

Alex Jones the convicted fraudster? The same guy who pushes end of times survival packs and potions? The same Alex Jones who admitted to lying about Sandy Hook, and while under oath in a court, describing his activity as entertainment and not based on actual factual information? Oh yes, he's a really reliable source. Are you one of the Alex Jone's listener demographics? The people who do not have much of a formal education, and have a low intelligence level. They occupy a lower socio economic tier too.

The refusal to meet with Putin until he agreed to a ceasefire and to meaningful peace negotiations was reasonable. Mr. Trump has come to the same conclusion, and is finally seeing that Putin has no interest in peace. Russia will not be happy until it destroys Ukraine and is terrorizing the EU into submission.

Not at all. Health professionals do not control the regulation of pharmaceuticals. The US FDA is responsible for determining whether or not a drug is OTC, behind the counter or by prescription only. The product here is very powerful and should only be used for the listed illness. The reason the drug is controlled is to prevent misuse and the creation of drug resistant infections. Also, some people should not take the drug because of underlying chronic conditions The under use is attributable to; 1. Poverty: The drug is expensive, and most people do not have drug or health coverage that covers the full cost. 2. Access: Rural and small town locations are not always close to a pharmacy that carries the product. Older and chronically ill people may not have the means to access a pharmacy. 3. Misinformation: There is so much false and misleading information, that a large number of people are hesitant to use the product, or are aware of how and when to use it. 4. Late diagnosis: As per the article, it takes far too long to identify Covid and to access appropriate treatment Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy has been in the job for 5 months now. If this was a priority for him, the regulation would have been changed. He has a more important task now: Trying to link vaccines and autism. 🤑

Then she made medical history. Menopause usually concludes between ages 45 and 55. Perhaps it is best yo leave women's health to the medical specialists. 🫠

Applying real sanctions against Russia. The west say they apply sanctions, but then it violates the intent by doing special financial deals.

You are unreasonable with your finger pointing and moral judgement. Patients like this are uncontrollable unless heavily medicated and/or restrained. This was an autistic child with pica. It is next to impossible to stop these people from eating anything and everything. They must be supervised 24/7. You judge the grandparents who were struggling just to survive. They were living in poverty. Their attention was given to basic survival first. It is exhausting to surveille an autistic child. The outbursts, the temper tantrum etc, wear people out. This was one very disturbed subject, and it is unlikely that you would have done any better.

The data does not support your conclusion in respect to muslims or Islamists. The information you reference is in respect to immigrant workers as a group. Nor can one extrapolate from a total number because the influence of religious doctrine is well documented. There is no denying that some people of North African origin work in the hospitality trade. However, they are not necessarily Islamists. By definition an Islamist is one who is an advocate or supporter of Islamic fundamentalism; a person who advocates increasing the influence of Islamic law in politics and society. This would not be compatible with work in some sectors. Islamists are people who are close adherents of their religion and its belief system. If a person is a devout muslim, they will NOT take on any activity that is haram. The people you refer to may have been of North African religion and may even be nominal muslims, but if they are working with alcohol and pork then they cannot and will not be devout muslims. There is a reason why some airlines do not serve pork or alcohol products. Saudia, Air Arabia, Kuwait Airways, Pakistani International, Egyptair, and some others serve millions of passengers every year. Those passengers would not get on the aircraft if alcohol was on board, nor would many crew members.

Careful. The Kewpie products come in various recipes, and most Kewpie mayonnaise based products are full of sugar. Only the Japanese style mayonnaise option has no sugar. Kewpie Thailand does not declare the preservatives in its products. Nor does it declare thickening agent (processed starch, xanthan gum), seasoning (amino acid), or acidulant, In the EU and USA it must be declared.
