Trumps policies make inflation the lowest since 2021
NoDisplayName replied to thesetat's topic in Political Soapbox
That's not how this works. Inflation that occurred between the election and regime-change was caused by the anticipation of Trump's flawed policies, what we would term the "Trump Undercut." -
Trumps policies make inflation the lowest since 2021
NoDisplayName replied to thesetat's topic in Political Soapbox
Wait! Isn't that supposed to be the "Biden Overhang"? If not, does that mean we've passed the point where we can blame Biden (or whoever was actually running the regime!) when inflation zooms up next month? -
Report Thai submarine plans sink as Germany halts engine sale
NoDisplayName replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If I 'member correct, the contract called for German engines, but Germany prevented transfer to China. Meanwhile China had been making and selling exact copies under license from the German manufacturer. A previous Thai government wanted to cancel and have frigates delivered instead. Last government agreed to having Chinese engines, but most recent government reversed that decision. This is just a final court ruling from Germany, not really affecting the current contract. I expect Thailand will eventually agree to having the Chinese manufactured Germn-designed engines installed, as these are the same engines in the same subs China has been selling elsewhere, including Pakistan. Seems Pakistan is satisfied with the subs, as well as the recent performance of Chinese jet fighters and missiles, so this should be a non-issue. -

Big Beautiful Expat Tax
NoDisplayName replied to NoDisplayName's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Unrelated. We buy things in later transactions incurring sales tax. The targets of this tax just want to keep their cash. That's just petty. -

Yes, 'refundable' tax credits that can reduce your tax bill below zero resulting in a refund. I doubt this tax will fall in that category. -

A right-wing View session by the mouthpiece of the Trump regime? I put them just below China Observer in terms of credibility here. -

Big Beautiful Expat Tax
NoDisplayName replied to NoDisplayName's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
These are allegedly employed immigrants, sending their already-taxed income back to their families. They've supposedly already paid their fair share. If the point is to increase revenue, they won't make it easy to get the credit. If they can limit it to a maximum of tax due, they keep the surplus, unless carried over to the following year. -

Trump just surrendered to Xi, lowering the tax on American consumers to "only" 30%. What's the tax on gifted 747's? -
Big Beautiful Expat Tax
NoDisplayName replied to NoDisplayName's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Why would a direct refund be more likely? I suspect this will be more like the tax credit for foreign taxes paid that may be used ONLY if you have tax due. This is targeted at evil, stinky immigrants with the purpose being to prevent/reduce remittances to home countries. Expect an executive order banning WISE and other transfer agents, unless the tax is deducted at transfer. -
What's in Trump's big, beautiful bill? GOP Tax Bill: No tax on tips & overtime, higher tax on elite colleges, 5% tax on immigrant remittances – Key takeaways New tax on immigrant remittances The bill would impose a 5% tax on remittances sent abroad, a measure aimed at curbing money transfers to foreign countries. US citizens could apply for credits to offset the cost, but the tax will hit immigrant households hardest. https://www.livemint.com/news/us-news/gop-tax-bill-no-tax-on-tips-overtime-hefty-tax-on-elite-colleges-new-5-tax-on-immigrant-remittances-key-take-11747086670936.html "Apply for credits" appears to mean would have to claim a credit on your 1040, to be applied against tax owed. No owe tax, no get remittance tax refund? And somewhere in the text it eliminates IRS direct file, so no more free online filing? But it's all good. The debt ceiling will be raised by $4 Trillion.

Jan 21 2021 30996 Dec 04 2024 45014 Jan 21 2025 44025 Jan 30 2025 44882 <--1.95% April 08 2025 37645 Market up 50% during previous administration. Is that what they call the "Biden overhang"? At the low point in April, the market had fallen over 7000 points, or about 16% Is this what they call the "Trump underbite?"

What results? Trump levies a 30% tax on Chinese goods, paid by the American consumer. China still able to undercut American manufacturing, has shut down some low-value factories or offshored them to third world countries, so they can concentrate more on civilian aircraft and 6G telecoms and nukular fusion.

Cheapest Car Insurance for an old beater Honda?
NoDisplayName replied to ThaiNoobie101's topic in Insurance in Thailand
+Best rates I can find May 2025 for 3 insurance covering only injuries and the other party's vehicle is Muang Thai at 2500 baht 3+ insurance adding 100K for own vehicle is also Muang Thai at 4350, or 150K for your vehicle for 4550. You save about 500 baht by going thru checkdi.com instead of directly to the insurance company website. https://checkdi.com/th/main?lg=en 3+ insurance from our inspection station would be 7000 baht, 3 insurance 5000 baht. -
In the UK perhaps, but in the US it would be uncapitalized.

Donald Trump is still winning, one hundred days in
NoDisplayName replied to Social Media's topic in World News
See timecode 02:04, reporter realizes Trump doesn't understand civics, so asks clearly...... Lady Reporter: "But even given those numbers that you're talking about, don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as President?" Trump: "I don't know..........I have to respond by saying again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said."
