So much for the OP, and the thread. Better news source provide better info. Storm in a teacup, I think is the saying ...

Bush - Gore - FL, it even ended up in the courts. Then he conceded 🙄

Great, another 'what if' ... Definitely don't want us returning, as that would be expensive on the budget, healthcare system, since we're at the age of medical oops. Sort of like the Dems thinking the 2000 & 2016 election was stolen

We haven't encountered any issues at all at CS, with payment. It is a learning curve, but no different than getting your first credit/debit/ATM card, or simply paying online, which I still haven't mastered 🙄 Or signing up and logging in to various apps, for whatever reason Register with a few vendors, we use 2 almost exclusively, with a 3rd, and all 3 are easy to use. CS vendors offer a couple pay options, so nobody should really have problems. If at a CS and not playing nice, DO call the cust. serv ph #. I'm impatient, and just tell the wife, "come on, get in, next station" which happened 2X. She smartly ignored me, and cust serv rep reset the unit, and all good. Only 2X in say 50+, at least, stops at CS, as we get O&A quite a bit.

He's far from stupid, along with having Elon to remind him. Tesla does rely heavily on CATL & BYD.

I equate tariffs on BRICS as about as useful as sanctions were on RU. Only people that sanctions hurt, were the UK & EU. USA & CN benefited nicely though. Same with TH, them Ruskies holidayed here, using banking from CN. USA didn't even stop buying oil & gas from RU Put a hurt on Europe though, taking out that pipeline, directly or indirectly 🙄 Y'all might think about your home countries joining BRICS yourselves, and stop being USA's lapdogs. Didn't get a kiss or KY ....

Agree, and tolerate the USA, because of all the $$$ it receives.

Nobody is going to be rocking the trading boat, with any country that it needs. Just 'What if' scenarios that never happen. 'What if' CN stops trade with USA ? Auto industry comes to a grinding halt (remember covid), and the grid would take quite a hit also. What's sold in the USA that isn't made in CN, whole or in part ? Or other countries that trade with the USA, that use raw materials, controlled by CN. You know, those rare elements, natural resources. The world is safe. One man didn't ruin it during the last administration, and he's only here for more years.

What's laughable ? USA will not jeopardies losing use of Thai's military bases.

I'd actually welcome that

Nope, just stating the obvious. I hope TH & USA relations stay as is, or even better, get strained a bit, as the last I want, is a Thai FTA with the USA. Would mean nothing but higher prices in TH.

As a 'Partner Country', so far. Even if TH joined full on, they would still be 'hands off' for more than a few years. Not like either country needs each other.

You're ignorance shines. Yearly Cobra Gold, along with use of air & navel bases.

Edit: now is see the 100% ... IF, they create or accept another currency other than USD.... ... "Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs" ...

No worries there, as I color within the lines.

A little less paperwork, no photos, and no waiting for approval (30 days), and saves a return trip to Imm Office, 100 kms away.

Knocking on 25 years, and long term '0 non' visa have been flawless for myself. Used marriage, support of Thai national (orphan ish kid), retirement, marriage, retirement. Retirement now, for less paperwork than marriage, and instant approval. Never a major issues, and do my 90 day pulse checks online now, since they sorted out the site, and works nicely.

Unless he jumped the Q for training, then it's all a bit irrelevant. 15 yrs in service, so a bit hard to speculate any Q jumping for DEI. Reading not really a 'training' flight, just a 'stay current' flight, and probably quite standard to keep everyone experienced. I'm anti DEI, but your implied statement has no basis of fact and just silly.

Wife made a batch of comfort food, pork stew. No different then if in USA, and having a batch of something (stew, soup) in frig, when feeling lazy in 'chilly' weather. One minute in microwave, and lunch or dinner is ready. Hot weather, leftover or deli meats & cheese always available to be wrapped, or put between a couple slices or in a roll, when feeling lazing and not wanting to heat up the kitchen.

Somebody needs a hobby News Flash ... NFL (all sports) and WWF, not much different, 'fixed' entertainment, not sports. IMHO

48% is a minority, and per specially interest group, a much smaller minority. Top one group, of any, sub group, might be near 20%, if that. Hispanics, probably top, at 19.5% as of 2023. Stop using labels ...
