baby boomers born 1946-64. Called boomers due to high birth rate after close of WW2. Had lots of friends (my age) go to Vietnam. Couple returned in box, sadly.

The left sure has a funny way of campaigning for the mid-terms next year. This should work well for them. LOL

In 'waste' of money, USAID channeled vast sums for DEI, LGBTQ programs: White House I see you don't understand copy and paste either from the previous message. Yep -brain rot

In 'waste' of money, USAID channeled vast sums for DEI, LGBTQ programs: White House I see you are just another lefty who can't figure out how to use a search engine or is you are too lazy. Maybe all the hate the lefties are spewing is causing brain rot and causing lefties are get crazy.

Musk doesn't spend money on freaks - that's the lefties and their DEI projects for freaks (gays and trans here and abroad).

Could be worse, he could be spending billions on research on freaks like the lefties and their DEI scams.

I could care less how much it is! Just look at the accomplishments. They speak for themselves.

Did you forget to mention that the 38 billion was over a 20-year period? Or did you conveniently forget to mention it? Do the math! That's less the $2 billion per year. Considering that he is employing well over 100,000 people, building cars, making rockets for space exploration, providing star link internet (which is tremendous aid to Ukraine) among other things, I think we got a hell of a deal. You can't even compare what he's done to the fraudulent DEI crap that the lefties have been pushing. Of course, you'll disagree because you don't like Musk. I wouldn't like Musk either if I was one of those politicians' getting kickbacks from some of the wasteful spending going on.

Yes, and there is a reason! It has to do with people hating: I asked does hating cause brain rot? (Chat GPT) Pretty much! Chronic hatred, resentment, and anger can negatively impact brain health. Studies suggest that prolonged negative emotions can lead to increased stress hormones (like cortisol), which can damage brain structures involved in memory, decision-making, and emotional regulation—especially the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Hatred also reinforces negative neural pathways, making it harder to think clearly, feel empathy, or process emotions in a healthy way. Over time, this can lead to cognitive decline, anxiety, and even physical health issues like high blood pressure. Basically, holding onto hate doesn’t just mess with your mood—it can literally alter your brain in harmful ways.

Where are you getting 38 billion USD? Not what I'm seeing. Even if it was double that it's a hell of a lot better than give it to those worthless DEI causes/waste/fraud. Elon Musk's companies—Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity (now part of Tesla), The Boring Company, and Neuralink—have received significant government support in the form of subsidies, contracts, tax breaks, and loans. Estimates vary, but here’s a breakdown of key sources of government support: 1. Direct Subsidies & Tax Breaks $4.9 billion (estimated) in government subsidies across Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity (per a 2015 Los Angeles Times report). Tesla’s Tax Credits & Subsidies $465 million low-interest loan from the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2010, which Tesla repaid in 2013. Billions in federal and state EV incentives and tax credits for buyers of Tesla vehicles. $1.3 billion in tax incentives from Nevada for Tesla’s Gigafactory in 2014. $330 million in Texas for Tesla's Austin Gigafactory. SpaceX’s Subsidies & Tax Breaks SpaceX has received millions in subsidies and local tax breaks for its launch sites in Texas, Florida, and California. 2. Government Contracts SpaceX has secured over $10 billion in contracts from NASA, the U.S. military, and other government agencies. NASA’s Commercial Crew & Cargo Contracts – Over $5 billion to develop and launch spacecraft (Dragon, Starship, Falcon 9). Department of Defense (DOD) Contracts – Several billion dollars for national security launches and satellite deployments. FCC Starlink Subsidies – SpaceX was awarded $885 million in 2020 to expand broadband in rural areas via Starlink (some funds were later revoked). 3. Carbon Credits & Indirect Support Tesla has made billions selling regulatory carbon credits to other automakers. SpaceX benefits from infrastructure investment at NASA and Air Force launch sites. Total Estimate Direct subsidies & tax breaks: At least $5 billion Government contracts: Over $10 billion Indirect support (carbon credits, regulatory incentives, etc.): Billions more Would you like a more detailed breakdown of a specific company or program?

I just call them bubble butts

I don't see it that way at all. Carry on with the hate if that's your choice.

I've had the same using Kasikorn bank for more than 15 years without a glitch (as with you) but glitches are always a possibility. Knock on wood.

The left no longer has a message that anyone cares about. Their last resort is create chaos and violence. The majority of voters want nothing to do with that because they have common sense which is something the left has little or none of. No need to give absurd & violent lefty radicals a forum. Let them chase their own tails among themselves.

Saw it. Lefties acting like children. No message, just hate and car alarm.

Seems the only thing the lefties have left is hate. Hate Trump. Hate Musk. Hate this. Hate that. Hate, hate, hate and more hate. The lefty, Fetterman was right when he said lefties ate nothing more than a car alarm that nobody pays attention to anymore. Fetterman Shreds Dem Colleagues for ‘Unhinged Petulance’ During Trump Address: Makes Him Look ‘Presidential’

Reminds me of "Forest City" in Malaysa which is barely occupied. (Communist China project, I believe)

I looked into the Elite years ago and I seem to remember that the free airport transportation was Bangkok area "only". Useless if you live outside of Bangkok (as I do). After dumping my "OA" for the "LTR" life is much simpler.

Well, we will just have to see how all this warmongering works out, and then we'll see who the naive one is.

He should be the poster child for the Democratic party.

There is no place in America for these visiting trash people with a visa to study. I'm guessing they forgot to mention on their visa application that they would be protesting for a terrorist organization (which in my opinion is a form of lying). Freedom of speech is one thing but promoting terrorism is another. The (born) American citizens that are participating in this disgraceful activity should be aware that their actions are recorded, and they have been identified (and listed in a data base). When corporations do a background checks for hiring, guess what? Actions have consequences.

The place needs to be tented and fumigated but don't know if that is done in Thailand.

Wonderful idea. These students were not being educated anyway, they were being indoctrinated (to become lefties).

Obviously, you are in favor of continuing the war no matter what the cost. There comes a time when you need to cut your losses and move on. If you think that's laughable then make sure you send some fresh body bags, they're going to need a lot of them.

At this point I would side with Putin also. He has expressed that he would like to end the war. Trump was also trying to take the first step to ending the war. Liberals seem to be siding with the Ukrainian Smurf that tried to change the deal with Trump. Call it what you will but the only people who seem to want peace are Trump and Putin. Most Europeans appear willing to support the Smurf and his desire to continue the war. The future body count is on the heads of those who want to continue the war, NOT Trump. As they say, " you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink". Ukraine desperately needs a new leader.
