I lived there for 15 years. Raising a family for a Chinese on 7000 is super easy, barely an inconvenience. Remember, we're basing our anecdotal comments on our experiences as a stranger living in a strange land. We know Thais can live in Thailand on less that what foreigners demand. That also applies to China. And China is big place, with many regions. Living expenses are much lower outside of Beijing and Shanghai. Those would be equivalent to Manhattan and San Francisco. This is the old argument over how many bath you need to live in Thailand. Some need 199K/month for hookers and blow, others are quite content with their lifestyle spending 20K.

About a third from China, half from India. https://qualitymatters.usp.org/global-manufacturing-capacity-active-pharmaceutical-ingredients-remains-concentrated

Well, the point of tariff taxes according to Trump is to force manufacturers, foreign or domestic, to produce in the USA. By Trumpian logic, China banning/tariffing/taxing US aircraft will onshore aviation manufacturing into the Middle Kingdom. MCGA!

I was unable to googles that. Could you link me in the right direction to confirm this?

Nice to see a country that knows what a "hub" is. As to the rail line, 400km from Haiphong via Hanoi to Lao Cai border crossing. To be completed by 2030. Gosh, by that time, we'll almost have completed studies to form a committee to oversee brown envelope maintenance on the first few kilometers of rail to be completed by 2145.

Who is Greenland going to sell to? The guy who is agreement incapable and has threatened to take their country/territory by force? Or the country that wants to build infrastructure there, and who pays for the stuff they take out.....

Your words. Contemplate them.

Yes, but put that into PPP terms. Their living expenses are bigly smaller. And why are their prices going to go up? There's little to nothing the US produces they can't make themselves or source elsewhere. They have access to raw materials outside of US control, they have unlimited low-cast energy thanks to us sanctions, and they have the factories and trained personnel to produce anything they need.

Oh, no! China is the largest market in aviation due to an increase in domestic air passenger traffic, which has surpassed the North American region and is expected to grow rapidly at a rate of 4.4% by 2040, according to Boeing. https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/aviation-market Nothing says winning like getting shut out of the world's largest market for your DEI products. But what will China do? How will the world's factory deal with this setback? On 29 September 2022 the C919 received its CAAC type certificate. The first production airframe was delivered to China Eastern Airlines on 9 December 2022 and was put into commercial passenger service on 28 May 2023 (wiki) "All yu airriner berong us!" Winning!©

This is incorrect. You can setup outside the US, but you may need to have your ID.me account as well. You CAN set up ID.me from Thailand using your Thai address and cellphone. Latest reports on applying for SS benefits it that it can be done online from overseas. After processing, expect an email from Manilla to set up a telephone interview, which if reports are correct, they simply ask you about some items on your application for you to confirm. Those reports also indicate that a certified copy of your passport is only needed for naturalized citizens. SS payments are exempt from Thai tax by DTA. No deductions will be deducted. No requirement to file Thai tax return if that is your sole source of income remitted.

And that's only about a third of the "report."

You understand GDP is NOT a measure of wealth, it is a measure of economic activity, a measure of finance flows. It's the total of goods and services produced throughout the year, not cash in the bank. Saying we can pay off the debt in under two years is something you'd learn at Trump university, where it seems all his casino managers graduated from. Set off a nukular bomb in Dallas and the rebuilding costs would be included in GDP. That would likely be upwards of $10 Trillion. So the fastest way to eliminate the debt would be to nuke San Francisco and Los Angeles. Winning!©

In 2024, the U.S. government is projected to spend a record $1.2 trillion on interest payments for its national debt, which is significantly higher than previous years due to rising interest rates and increased borrowing. This amount surpasses military spending for the first time in history. Winning!©

A senior DHS official said the mistake could have been caused by an asylum seeker who had included the email address in their contact information. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/nicole-micheroni-immigration-attorney-deport-b2732744.html Micheroni said she knows other immigration attorneys who have received the same email. ... "CBP used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications. If a non-personal email—such as an American citizen contact—was provided by the alien, notices may have been sent to unintended recipients. CBP is monitoring communications and will address any issues on a case-by-case basis." https://www.wcvb.com/article/nicole-micheroni-dhs-self-deport-letter-massachusetts/64467408

Well, he did blow up Nordstream, so there's that.

Good thing she contacted the sender to confirm it was legitimate. Smart move. Never go to the source to confirm. But is there a better way? Yay! Be famous! Crowdsource your syndrome.

Beautiful beaches.

We'll find out a couple weeks after they've been sold.

I bet Gilbert Doctorow is hurt, deeply hurt, that you are stealing his entire 1,039-word article without attribution. At least you retained his misspelling of "narcistic" so that counts as something, I guess.

It's just words. Same as the constitution. Just words. He has a team working on the problem. But then "problem" is just a word.

First his team has to find a way of moving the elections to January. Or is he thinking of running for president of Greenland State?

Metal gutter is fast, cheap, easy to install. Unaffected by sunlight, comes pre-painted. Will last long time without rusting. Stop by the local metal goods dealer, they'll give you phone numbers for installers. For a small bungalow, it'll be done in a day. Or you can bodge something together with scrap PVC that sort of works, for a while, and use the savings to pay for the mother's medical expenses later.
