Because he is 72 and wishes to have a guaranteed income. Now is not the time to gamble on the stock market.

How was it an influenza virus? The SARS virus genome has been mapped and is quite different from an influenza virus.

Yes airfares are ridiculously expensive on some routes. However, that is a reflection of demand. Airlines have moved to dynamic pricing and as demand has increased, so too have airfares. Not really. Europeans and Canadians had easy access for visits. Canadians are the most frequent and biggest spending tourists. As a class of visitor, they do not remain in the USA. They are choosing to stay at home.

What was factually incorrect about my statement? The typical US national is ignorant and uneducated. Not much different than anyone else in the world. True or False? IQs can be distributed on a Bell curve. True or False? Much of the US population is at an average IQ or less than average. True or False? That's all Trump needed to convince to win his election. True or False?

Gosh, they have been singing the praises of Songkran ages. My contribution is via the travel taxes as I leave for Songkran. This year, I was forced to leave even earlier since the TG & NH flights to Tokyo were sold out .

Nor can I. Yes, but they also have a very basic subsistence lifestyle. One should aspire for better than that. No. Don't be silly. AC, potable water, quality food all have a cost. Maids, drivers and other support staff have a cost. Know why some people have clothing that never smells like wet dog? They launder using filtered, purified water and that costs.

Trump is not deranged. He is a narcissist, greedy and selfish, yes. However, he knows right from wrong. He is also a loving and supportive father. He genuinely cares for his kids. If he was a dysfunctional narcissist he would not. Trump is a legacy of 1970's America. That's what the disco era gave us.

You have ignored a salient post and instead offered only childish insults. Is it because you lack the cognitive ability to understand the situation, or are you just afraid and are in denial, or are you just a nasty individual?

Those are endemic cases that are already managed with most under care and which are responding to treatment. The concern is that the foreign strains are mutating and if left untreated will present antibiotic resitance that is umanageable. The foreign TB patients typically present with other diseases as well creating the potential to create super infections.

How much more freedom of movement do you want with the hundreds of migrants arriving every day?

They already voluntarily pay income tax on income from the Duchies and earnings from personal investments.

Untreated infectuious disease does not remain contained. We see that with measles now. We saw it with MPox, Covid and Ebola. The TB will spread throughout Africa and then ito the Gulf states and Europe. And then it will enter the USA. Containing a disease elsewhere, protects the home country. Unless the USA is prepared to erect a wall around the USA and prevent its people from traveling, including US military, the disease will enter the USA.

Luckily they were not Chinese or Israeli, otherwise the AN bigots would be after them.

Mr. Trump is not the leader of the free world. The USA does not occupy that position. Mr. Trump is given to false and inaccurate statements.

I have just been educated, having never heard of 5 Star before. It is a franchise chain and owned by CP Foods, who I believe are Thailand's largest chicken producer. Just located a local franchise and will try them out. Local reviews are all solid.

Please check with your friends in Russia for updated instruction. Note that ISW has observed no geolocated evidence to indicate that Russian forces have encircled a significant number of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast or elsewhere along the frontline in Ukraine. Not the first time Putin has made this claim. Putin claimed in October 2024 that Russian forces "encircled" 2,000 Ukrainian troops in Kursk Oblast, but ISW never observed any Russian milblogger claims or geolocated footage to substantiate Putin's October 2024 claim. Putin has repeatedly failed to acknowledge that the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast extends from the Ukrainian-Russian international border and that Ukrainian forces can transit the sections of the border under Ukrainian control. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-march-14-2025

Why don't you stop belittling anyone who doesn't share your extremist views.

Portugal was important enough to serve in Afghanistan, and it sent 2 of its personnel home in coffins. It didn't have to go and defend the US interests, but the USA invoked Article 5 of the NATO constitution. DId the USA say thank you? The F35 deliveries were delayed for a year because of a software update failure. A 100% US based defect. However, production is now spitting them out quickly. I think the customers are fed up with the US unreliability. Remember that the US refuses to grant access to the technology and codes that allows the customers to fully maintain and upgrade their aircraft without U.S. involvement. Now that the USA says it isn't a reliable partner, it is madness to purchase locked equipment from the USA.

Mr. Vance blamed VP Harris for egg prices. r. Trump says that the Democrats are responsible for the egg prices.

Says the man quick to label anyone who disagrees a "leftie". It is childish. Some of the most vociferous critics of Trump economic policy are fiscal conservatives or advocates of free markets.

And yet the MAGA collective was blaming Biden for egg prices, and for the increase in gas prices after the refinery fire and hurricanes impacted gasoline refining.

I have the right to comment when these people visually assault me. Super skinny people are not the ones who are exposing their buttocks on the beach. If and when it occurs, and shoud they ooze out of their clothes exposing their sweaty ass crack to me, I may comment on them. However, I have yet to see one of these people you refer to.

I will try Makro then. I hadn't even thought of them since I rarely visit. (I don't buy big quantities.)
