The tax revenue went up and the IRS already shows the tax cuts hurt did not help the top 1%. The problem in the USA is not that it collects too little tax, it spends too much. The top 1% pay more in total taxes than the bottom 90%. Now as to health care your response is non-sensicle. It is as if somehow if the government pays for health care 'IT IS FREE" No it is not. It just shifts the cost to the taxpayer instead of the the employer. If there is one thing that is true, anytime the government is placed in charge of something don't expect it to be cost effective. The employer will work hard to keep healthcare costs down. The government doesn't care. The bureaucrats have no incentive. They are spending someone elses money, on someone else. Case in point. is social security. Social Security taxes were first collected in January 1937, with workers and employers each paying one percent of the first $3,000 in wages and salary. That rate is now 6.2% on the first $147,200. So the rate went up by 620% and the taxable maximum went up at the same time by 490%. AND THE SYSTEM IS BROKE. THERE IS NO MONEY IN SOCIAL SECURITY. It has all been spent, and the trust fund has only IOU (treasury bonds) in it. A bond is a promise to pay the bondholder back. So the U.S. Treasury s promising to pay social security the money that it borrowed from it. That is like your left pocket promising to put back the money it took from the right pocket. https://taxfoundation.org/top-1-percent-pays-more-taxes-bottom-90-percent/

You obviously can't read. The fact is that Biden won fewer 477 counties versus Obama's 689 and yet somehow got 8 million more votes. Now is that possible. Yes if Biden won virtually all of the votes in those counties. That sir is a stretch and a person would any common sense would at the very least question it. Kind of like flipping a coin 100 times and having it always come up heads. Is it possible yes. Is it likely no.

I said Giving someone access to your corporate records HAS PERILS I also disagree that showing vulnerabilities would not help Fox. If Fox proved the system COULD BE HACKED it would raise doubts as to if it was hacked. Again, if there were any cases were it was shown the Dominion System was compromised uncovered during discovery, it would greatly undermine Dominion's claim that its systems could not possibly be hacked.

What I am saying is they had ample reason to question the validity of the election. You had a man so unpopular he could not win his own parties nomination twice. Yet somehow the man reportedly got 8 million more votes than the previous record held by Barack Obama. Obama did that by winning at the time what was THE ALL TIME LOW in terms of counties won 689. Biden now won only 477. So it is perfectly reasonable to question how a person so unpopular could win 30% fewer counties but end up with 10% more votes than the all time record. Now is it possible? Yes if you believe that virtually everyone in those counties voted for Biden. If you recall Fox was also accused of covering up the Russia Trump collusion which of course we now know was based on a dossier that the DNC and Hillary Clinton paid for. We also know that Fox was lambasted for suggesting that the Trump campaign headquarters had been bugged. We now know that is true. What I did say, was that Dominion by bringing suit puts its entire corporate records into play. Fox is now allowed to go into those records and ascertain based on the Plaintiffs own records if it knew of any vulnerabilities to its system. Such discovery by the court has its perils since you never know what it might uncover.

Joe learned from his mentor Barack. Anything positive take credit for it. Anything negative blame on the previous adminstration.

As Stalin said. It matters precious little who votes. It matters only who counts the vote. Same with the Truth. It matters only who determines what the truth is, and candidly, I would sure not bet my life on your version.

Yes it is based on a supposition. My point is when you give a legal team access to your corporate records, you have 'RISK" Should they find anything that suggests that the Dominion Voting machines are vulnerable, it both destroys their suit against Fox, and it destroys their reputation. Which part of that is too complicated for you?

I disagree. If it raises the issue that the Dominion voting systems were not fully secure it raises "doubt" that the election results were accurate. The election does not have to be overturned for Fox to prevail. Also as said, you have no idea what may show up in the discovery process. When you are forced to give access to your company records, you never know what secrets may be discovered. The entire process of discovery in a lawsuit is full of perils for both sides.

https://bc-llp.com/civil-litigation-discovery-process/ How Does the Discovery Process Work? During discovery, opposing parties should turn over emails, electronic documents, paper documents, and other information that could be relevant to the claims. Parties can submit motions to the court asking for specific information to be turned over, and this is common in situations where plaintiffs believe they have not been given all relevant documents. In addition to turning over information, the discovery process can also involve interviewing witnesses and finding out what the witnesses know. Witnesses can be sent written questions, called interrogatories, or can be interviewed on the record in person through depositions.

Things like this have a tendency to have unintended consequences. Fox will be able to through discovery obtain some pretty secretive information on the Dominion voting system and if it does have any vulnerabilities.

Kind of like Stalins comment about voting. It matters precious little what the facts are, it matters greatly who determines what are facts.

Tried several already hence the post. One was so bad she could not give us directions to the property.

Looking for a competent and knowledgeable real estate agent to show properties here in Pattaya. Have looked at a few properties based on advertisements online. Consistenly they are nothing more than young typically women who know how to post an advertisement and nothing more.

True but the core inflation ignores food and energy cost. That hardly is representative of increases in GDP. If consumers spend more on food which has gone up dramatically, and energy which likewise has risen substantially those figures show up in GDP. As said, the inflation rate was over 6.3% which ties to what TE said inflation not core inflation was.

I have done that before and know that first hand. Tearing out the old is costly, retrofitting never as good as brand new and more expensive. Will never do it again. Particularly here in Thailand where you have no idea who will do a good job.

Different source different answer https://www.statista.com/statistics/332274/inflation-rate-in-thailand/

One does have to keep in mind that Thailands inflation rate in 2022 was 6.3% so the GDP would have to grow by that amount just to remain flat.

Trying to get educated on real estate in Thailand. 1. Is there a source that shows "comparable" home sales in an area. I am familiar with a process where you can research what other homes that are similar and in a similar neighborhood have recently sold for giving you an idea what the true market price should be. 2. In the USA it is typical to make an offer contingent upon a home inspection. An inspector comes in and examines the home for any defects so you know what you are getting. Is there any sort of similar service in Pattaya. 3. Given that I have not gone through the process before, I would want a good "real estate" attorney to provide counsel. Does anyone know of a competent real estate attorney not a jack of all trades attorney the way most of them are. 4. I realize this is a difficult question but is there any sort of rule of thumb in Thailand on the price homes sell for versus what the asking price is. Again in my experience in the USA Real Estate Agents normally price the properties anywheres between 5% and 10% above market knowing that they have to have some bargaining room. Is that true it Thailand and what have those who have purchased home seen their discount be. I have seen some homes on the market that clearly are listed for up to 25% more than they are worth. Any other advise that you believe would be helpful would be appreciated.

Should they just put this post on Auto Renew. That would save someone from having to recreate it every 2 to 3 months.

I have a T Mobile USA number that is $3.00 per month. I get a very limited number of minutes which I never use and a limited number of SMS messages before I start to get charged ten cents for each. https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans/pay-go

You would never make it in the USA. The sentiment there is that somehow the USA is to blame for having any sort of laws governing who is allowed to enter.

An ice age is a period of time where global temperatures drop so significantly that glaciers advance and encompass over one third of Earth’s surface both laterally and longitudinally. During an ice age, a glacial is the period of time where glacial advancement occurs.[1] Similarly, an interglacial or interglacial period is the warmer period of time between ice ages where glaciers retreat and sea levels rise.[2] Over the last 450,000 years, glacials have lasted anywhere from 70,000 to 90,000 years whereas interglacials last approximately 10,000 years.[3 https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Glacial_and_interglacial_periods

The UK law if you are correct is irrelevant. MasterCard and Visa rules which all issuing banks have to agree to state a debit card transaction can be contested.
