Garbage? Chinese build submarine engines!

How many of them attended Harvard?

What's wrong with buying a Thai brand? Retail price under 70,000. Fleet price should be no more than 100,000 each. https://www.ridestallions.com/home/en/c-series-centaur-170i-bobber/

It's more than just not signing up NEW international students. The government told Harvard’s thousands of current foreign students that they must transfer to other schools or they will lose their legal permission to be in the U.S. Nah, it'll be fine. Upending the lives of 7000 innocent foreign students from 7000 very rich, very influential, very foreign families won't result in any blowback. It'll be fine.

Aw, c'mon, man! We gots to gib'em "space to destroy."

might get more interest with "Maimikanlakphatua......Meiyou Bangjia"

Will these be the same "medical" certificates required to apply for a drivers license? "100 baht, sign here, buh-bye."

She's a very strong girl, after years of carrying all that silicone and lip filler.

Something to do with Trump's latest stable genius idea, "restructuring" the debt as 100-year "forever bonds" at 0% interest. called the “Mar-a-Lago Accord,” it would involve several stages. First, the U.S. would try to force some foreign creditors, which hold large amounts of long-term Treasury notes, to trade them in for special extra-long-term Treasurys. Bloomberg reports that the replacements would be 100-year, non-tradeable zero-coupon bonds.

That anonymous source is not correct. The US has a global tax system where all worldwide income must be reported. Thailand has a residence-based system. Tax residents pay tax on local income and remitted foreign income if not exempt by DTA or royal decree. No tax on foreign source income if not remitted.

Are you sure about that? The examiner article you linked says: However, two major questions remain. First, will this change apply retroactively to income from 2024? If it does, foreign residents who paid income tax this year may be eligible for refunds. If it does not, the tax already paid on 2024 remittances will stand.

Implementation of global taxation would be a sufficient push to obtain NON tax-resident status in Thailand. And if VN goes that route as well, a 10-year tourist visa for China or 30-days visa-free in Hainan or Kunming would work.

Sure, but that chart only goes back to 2021. An honest response would have included a chart back to 2000! This chart goes all the way back to 1990, and shows gas in 2003 was $1.50/gallon, so obviously Trump has brought down prices. Winning!©

Up to you to negotiate a higher wage. If you're worthy. Or go someplace else where your masters in gender studies will be biglyer appreciated. When Trump's tariff taxes magically disappear during his next 3am poop tweet, retailers will have to lower prices or consumers will shop elsewhere.

You're right! It's NOT realistic to think the employer is just gonna eat the FICA taxes and medicaire and unemployment insurance and any other goodies the federal or state governments decide to mandate. You think those costs don't enter into the formula when determining wage offers? Nope, mean old management is gonna reduce whatever salary offer accordingly, unless you're critically needed, in which case it'll be passed on to the customer......you. You're paying for it, just like you'd be paying for "free" healthcare.

Not exactly. If you earned a salary/wage you directly paid 50% of FICA as shown on your pay stub, and you indirectly paid the other 50% by your employer reducing your potential salary/wage to cover the government mandate. Brought to you by the same folks that think $30/hour minimum wage won't result in fewer jobs for unskilled workers, or that China is gonna eat the tariffs, or that Mexico is gonna pay for a big, beeyootiful wall.

Mayhaps this will help: In general the DTA does not stipulate any specific item of income and tax rate. It provides whether the source or resident country is entitled to tax certain income. If the source country has taxing rights, the income will be subject to tax according to the domestic laws of that country. .... C. Elimination of double taxation The focus of a DTA is the elimination of double taxation. Each DTA may prescribe different methods of elimination of double taxation of a person by the resident country: (1) Exemption method The country of residence does not tax the income which according to the DTA is taxed in the source country. (2) Credit method The resident country retains the right to tax the income which was already taxed in the source country.... https://www.rd.go.th/english/21973.html DTA's can (as with US) specify certain income exempt from Thai tax. Exempt = non-assessable = not included in PIT calculation = not entered on tax return

No, this is the proposed rule which would (if passed) take effect in 2026, for the 2025 tax return..........so income earned after 2024. It would not be retroactive to income earned prior to 2024 or during 2024, which should be covered by 161/162. Assume there would then be rolling 2-year windows to allow tax-free remittance to follow, until the next change. Proposed rule: Foreign income (not exempt by DTA) earned prior to 2024 remains not assessable. Foreign income (not exempt by DTA) earned after 2024 remitted in the same or following year is not assessable. Foreign income (not exempt by DTA) earned after 2024 remitted in subsequent years is assessable.

Don't try to force everyone into the leftwing-rightwing binary utopia. Nothing I wrote was in support of Trump's incompetent lackey, but in response to quoting numbers out of context. Most seizures occur along the southern border, possibly because more assets are stationed there to, you know, make the seizures. I don't know what the actual numbers are, and I doubt Mr. Patel does either. He may not care to know if they diverge from the Trump narrative.

Deflect! Deflect! Deflect! 'Tis relevant to his greatly diminished mental capacity, which is relevant to his alleged inability to stand trial. The stutters and sta-a-a-a-mmers and......long............preg.......i mean.....um...........pau, apau.........pauses, you know....the thing.

For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs for a prostate cancer test typically consist of a doctor-visit copay and a laboratory copay of $0-$30 or more, depending on the plan. For routine wellness screenings, some insurance plans consider the tests medically necessary only after a certain age. For example, Aetna[1] covers screenings for men 40 and over, and men under 40 who are at a high risk, such as African-American men with a family history of prostate cancer. For patients not covered by health insurance, a prostate cancer test typically costs from less than $15-$250 for a digital rectal exam to detect any physical abnormalities in the prostate, depending on the provider and whether the exam is done on its own or as part of an office visit. And it can cost up to $6,000 or more for a prostate biopsy. For example, several cancer centers[2] in Michigan offer prostate exams for $15-$20. Talbert Medical[3] in California, charges about $60. And Robert Gluck, M.D[4] , a urologist in New York, charges $250 for an office visit that includes a digital prostate exam. Billions for genocide, but can't afford tree-fitty for the leader of the free world?

So all I have to do to successfully import drugs is not LOOK like a drug smuggler, then they ignore illegal border crossings?

Ezzackly. Mr. Patel is speaking talking points, not data points.

To be fair....... There is a bigly difference between 1% of all imported, and 1% of what we managed to catch. That's why ICE publicizes the number of "contacts" with illegal border crossers, rather than the number that actually crossed. It's still quite easy to mosey across a southern border where hundreds of miles consist of a few strands of rusty barbed wire cattle fence. The US-Canada border runs 'bout 5500 miles, much of it isolated, forested, mountainous. Much of the border infrastructure consists of 20 meters or so of clear-cut...........or not. It's super easy, barely an inconvenience to walk across both borders unhindered. I've done it.
