With climate change creating more extreme weather events, insurance companies are forced to pay out larger claims, leading them to adjust premiums to maintain profitability. The rising costs of materials and construction also contribute to the uptick in insurance prices, as rebuilding expenses surge along with the overall inflation of the housing market.

But is that due to rising sea levels, or giant mosquitos?

As if Thailand doesn't have any offshore oil rigs.

They tell you the truth about climate change. Up to you if it's scary or not.

You don't understand that there are no natural forces causing the current warming. In fact, natural forces without all that pollution should be in a cooling trend. Solar output is down, but the planet keeps warming. The same rich people who seem to control your thinking about climate change are investing in electric cars and developing jets. And don't think some old rich guy with beach property cares that it may be submerged in 50 years. Look, I get it. Science was not your strongest subject in school. But just because you don't understand the science doesn't make it wrong.

Watch and learn.

You seem irritated that I back up my claims with data. Because the data is outside your paradigm, you ignore it.

The plural of "anecdote" is anecdotes. But I suspect this position of ignorance is common out in the Real World, apart from the small number of Farangs working in Thailand and paying tax now

Meanwhile, Trump's defense is being hammered by the witnesses. Did Trump have an affair with Karen McDougal? Trump says no.

If the Trump is attempting to delay the trials, why are the Trump lovers complaining that the trials are delayed?

An adult would contest my statement with "I think the working class and poor should have tax relief, and billionaires should pay their fair share in taxes", if that is what they believe. You often criticize the Dems because they don't help the poor and working class enough. But, you don't support them, either. Instead, you troll.

I had a conversation with a bar manager about the 2024 tax rule changes. He had no idea what I was talking about, and could care less. Since the manager knows hundreds of Farang residents, I was surprised that he didn't know about the rule changes. He certainly had no plans to file a tax return. This seems to be typical of many Farang s.

DOJ doesn't prosecute people who find classified documents and return them promptly. You know, like Mike Pence. If you think Joe Biden should have been prosecuted, how about Trump, who didn't return classified documents, and tried to hide them?

Maybe it's my imagination, but there seem to be a lot baht buses passing me by empty, or with taxi customers on board. Which means fewer actual baht buses picking up passengers on a fixed route. While waiting for a baht bus this morning, I noticed an astounding number of tour buses on the streets, a lot more tour buses than baht buses. And loads just parked on city streets, constricting the traffic lanes. The City of Pattaya should do something about that.

Are there agents who can handle renewal of US passports in Pattaya? I am aware of the mail in process, but am looking for agent to make it easier.

If you believe Tara Reade, you are really far gone. So why couldn't the Republicans in Congress pin a crime on Biden?

How did Beria's dictum work out for Joe Biden?

I have referred to a bar girl who was constantly asking to "borrow" money, usually on the 1st of the month, allegedly to pay rent. She ultimately bought a bar with her borrowings. She recently called me at 6:30 am and asked to "borrow" 12,000 baht because her bar was raided by the police for lack of a business license. Allegedly, the police put her mother in the monkey house. Which is why she needed the cash.

A massage lady came to my place for an overnighter, and complained about not being to sleep. So I gave her an over the counter sleeping pills. The next day she sent me a message from work that she wasn't feeling well. For the next few weeks she sent me daily messages asking to come back to my place. I eventually agreed, she came over, and spent her time complaining that she lost two days of work due to her reaction to the pill. I suspect that she wanted a payoff, but no can do. After that, she stopped sending me messages.

The common denominator among the trials is the delay tactics used by the Trump attorneys. Perhaps rather than conspiracy theories, you should think about Trump's actual defenses against the charges.

The current DA was elected in 2022. The prior DA declined to prosecute because he was leaving office. These are basic facts, posted here frequently, but you just don't seem to get it.

Don't beat around the bush: do you believe Dominion voting machines were hacked during the 2020 Georgia election? Just talking about potential hacking techniques is pointless. I could claim that someone installed counterfeit voting machines, theoretically.

Your posts have very little predictive value

Early polls have little predictive value.

The Supremes indeed may rule in a way that delays his DC trial. Hard to believe they would give Trump full immunity, but they could delay in making their decision, and then provide a ruling that creates more delay.
