Yes, as I've been getting it every year for the past 24 years. COLA = BS low inflation rate to SS benefit receivers Over those 24 years, here been a few with -0- inflation

Trump goal is to weaken the dollar ...

OMT ... Damn you all to hell ...

Break off the sharp tip And how do you do that, without making possibly a sharper tip. How about not giving you kid sharp pointed items to begin with.

Can't argue that, if they know they were the perpetrators of terror. Next time be smart, CYA and don't leave any witnesses. IRA targeted civilians, and once you do that, whether govt officials or not, you lose all support. Invade & occupy doesn't get much support either from me either, and with the lying MSM, you unfortunately don't know who to believe. I'm a fan of due process, being on the other side of that process at times. Why I don't trust authoritarian folks at times, knowing how bent they can be. Hard to dispute the findings and judgement of 'excessive force' when 570 rounds are fired

I really like her. If you don't buy 'USA', yea, you will be paying higher price, if seller (who obviously will) passes their higher tariffs on to the end user. As she points out, the grand plan is higher import tariffs, people buy USA, more USA manufacturing, and more jobs, all for a better economy. Economics a high school student would understand. AP, what a joke. Tries to spin the 'tariffs' on imports, as a higher tax on US citizens. He really thinks people are that stupid. Like here 'regret calling on AP' comment at the end. Let them in, and they are back to old tactics. Really a sad entertainment agency.

Not sure what there is to know, or care about. The facts and future are ... ... worldwide sales are down, now, across the board ... ICEV are losing market share, and will continue to do so, year after year ... BEV, and all EV overall, will gain market share, and will continue year after year in the future. ... BEV and or next new energy version of non fossil fuel vehicles will make ICEV a thing of the past. Only to be seen in collector's garages & museums. If you have any legacy auto maker stock, sell now before you take a total loss

24.5 years now, and it's been on auto pilot for me, with no issues. Every budget stall, every govt shutdown, govt lay offs and the DD just keep on coming on time, and you could set a Swiss watch to 'em

Correct you are ... my memory sucks ... oops https://aseannow.com/topic/1342286-thailand’s-brics-dreams-up-in-the-air-but-not-grounded-yet/#findComment-19347706

Let me guess, he's now an unemployed Dem, maybe Biden appointee, booted by new administration. NO bias there. Every new budget, and they always state, if not approved, SS will be affected, but never is, as it runs on autopilot. Just another thread started by a sore loser.

I brush my teeth with baking soda & hydrogen peroxide (3%), and haven't needed a cleaning in probably a decade. Did whiten them up a bit, back to the same color of crowns I had done almost 40 yrs ago. And I've been drinking coffee daily for the past 10+ years. Went to dentist about 10 years ago, for annual cleaning, after started brushing teeth with BS & HP, and she stated I didn't need. Haven't needed a cleaning or filling since. Do a quick brushing after with minimal Oral B TP, as wife likes the fresh taste & smell, vs after taste & smell of BS/HP. If you're a mouthwash user, (I'm not) then I guess that would work, instead of Oral B TP, though I'd do a thorough rinse before, not know how the chems would react together.

"Scientific basis for a Bible story" ... Hopefully they'll tackle the Tooth Fairy story next 😎

Simply calling yourself the 'irish republican army' does not make the military of the govt, in an undeclared war. Freedom fighters or terrorist ... UP2U In my world dictionary, IRA, if killing civilians, you are terrorist. Also doesn't mean, you don't deserve due process for your crimes. I'm going to guess, rules of engagement were, 'shoot to kill ... IF ... fired upon', which they were not, supposedly. Courts will sort it out, maybe.

Yes I have, and I voluntarily enlisted, not drafted/conscripted. Thank you. Read the link I provided, about the incident in question, and explain to me, why they had to kill 4 people, that were not shooting at them ? They fired 570 rounds, that almost 2 full 30 round mags for 10 people, or 1 mag for 20 people, to kill 4 people. Yea, I think that's a bit excessive.

Why would I be jealous of someone who prefers not to earn as much as I do? Understanding the tax rates, doesn't make it a fair tax rate. Please explain to me, how a flat tax is not a fair tax. Everyone pays, say 25% income tax. Everyone pays the same 25% = Fair Tax. Someone paying 5-15% tax vs 25-40% tax on income is not fair. No deductions or write off for any reason. ALL PAY THE SAME = FAIR Y'all have a nice day

Lucky you ... we are just out of the delivery distance for local 7-11 & Pizza Co, although, I've seen deliveries made 200 meters away ... bastards

Seriously, I really have to spell it out ... 🙄 ... OM Trump Someone can complain and state they're offended, and it will be another acronym not allowed on the forum. Yet anything is allowed when addressing the 'right', how stupid, blind and deranged we are. I couldn't even type "Xiaomi 'Total Dissolved Solids' Pen" on a thread the other day A snowflake might melt

Spoken like a true taker of other people's money 😎

Yes I have worked in factories, of different types. Assembly line, and as a machinist. One paid base + piecework. One was at or near minimum wage, as were many of my jobs. The other, machinist, could make as much as I wanted. Although, was told by coworkers to slow down, as I was making them look bad. You know, that new employee that produces 50% more at the end of the day, vs the 20+ year more experienced worker with seniority. Yes, the USA tax system works exactly like that. Most, lower 50% pay <4% income tax. I've paid 40% at times, due to my income. Those are facts. When I have to pay more income taxes in one year, than most people make in that year, there is something definitely wrong.

Our proposed local overpass, is greatly needed, as are the others that have been completed or will be shortly. Creating true interprovincial highway, without the cross traffic & deadly U-turns. Overpasses are the solution to the deadly U-turns y'all cry about. And the drives North & South of us are much better now. The proposed local intersection is gridlock on weekends & holidays. And yes, it will be an inconvenience for a year or so, but save lives also. Is there really a price tag for lives saved. "Highway 4 (Phet Kasem Road) and Highway 326 (Prachuap Khiri Khan Junction) is 2.7 kms from our house. At peak times, it backs up terribly, that traffic won't make the 1st signal change. I cross every day, on the way to the park (morning walk), to surf or to Makro if taking the car. MB, no prob, as there is already an underpass for that, though not as convenient now. Guess we'll be using a bit more when construction starts. Now that we need to go on that side of the highway more than 2X a month anyway. When you travel to Krung Thep, and feel lucky to average 80 kph, when speed limits range from 90-120 kph, then there's need for improvements. When highway deaths are some of the highest in the world, yea, no cross traffic & no silly U-turns will make a difference. The highway overpasses are well built. Can't say the same about some of those RR overpasses Imagine trying to drive around Krung Thep without any overpass at intersection. As if it isn't bad enough with them.

NO ... myself, would like to see a 'fair' flat tax, across the board. 15-20-25-30% Everyone pays the same % income tax. People shouldn't be penalized simply for being successful and wanting more. They earned it, they keep it. You work in a factory, you get $1 for every piece you produce for the day. ... you produce 100 pieces, you get $100 ... your co-worker produced 50 pieces, and got $50 ... you have to give $25 to your coworker, because you have more There's your tax system ... FAIR ???

99.9% of online purchases are COD. I stopped using PayPal long time ago, when it took a long fight to get a refund from an obvious scam seller. Why I used PP to begin with, their refund policy, which changed and almost failed miserably. They lost customer with their BS, trying to get out of paying the refund. Use to use them exclusively, oh well 😎 They actually fought this refund, which I had photo & listing material submitted. Actually, for a toy, it flies pretty good, if no wind, and as advertised, for the actually product. But, I didn't order a toy. PayPal was good, until I needed them to honor their refund policy.

That took a double take and had to rewind that to make sure I wasn't imagining things He is one of the Ex. producers, from the beginning 👍

Yep, always has been and always will continue. Nothing different or changing in the future. Only 1/3, but yes, huge number and 2 of the largest economies. Win win for TH

Again, he probably can't do that either by executive order. That's what the 'checks & balances' of a 'democratic Republic' is about. Although, since most agree, it is a failed department, shouldn't be too hard to downsize it, or get rid of it. IF the people's representatives agree. A bit different from changing SS, that most everyone wants to keep the same. Ignorance is Bliss ... Stay happy in you hatred 😎 Have a Nice Day
