You know a lot of the people that voted for him did so for the anticipated entertainment he would bring. Yes, such people deserve the worse that he will bring, but unfortunately the worse that he will bring will impact everyone.

Explain to me how this mahout isn't just being used as a convenient scapegoat for the sins of an entire industry? No need to reexamine the entire industry if you can pin it on one presumably not powerful man.

You ain't whistling Dixie when you say there is something very very wrong. The income inequality situation is indeed atrocious but the truth is that neither party really addresses that, but at least the democrats try to take baby steps while the republicans work overtime to make it much worse. As far as American "democracy" stands now, it's basically become a neon flashing advertisement for the tragic global trend towards autocracy.

Biden broke his promise not to use his constitutional pardoning power for his son. That did expose him to at least one undeniable lie, but on the other hand, most human beings do understand that most any father would use such power if they had it, and he had it.

I would make no such predictions, especially considering Trump's rapidly accelerating mental and physical decline.

This will be an interesting test of just how far this supreme court will bend over to serve master Trump.

Spelling police strikes again.

Well going to war is supposed to involve an act of congress, but that has been ignored by U.S. presidents for a very long time. A hostile annexation of Greenland would be an act of war against NATO ally Denmark. As far as the funding for wars, that does need buy in from the house.

Alaska. Tallest mountain in North America.

Well I'm thinking in terms of our human species which I have a love - hate relationship with.

Update -- yes had a Grab driver accept paying by scanning his QR code (to pay with Bangkok Bank account). Does that mean that all or most all Grab drivers would do the same? It seems probably so as they all have to have functioning phones to do the job at all. Also all Panda drivers? I guess so. It's weird that neither say anything on their apps about this option. Paying cash is not the same thing as scanning a code. Tops Online for example gives that as option to choose when ordering. Maybe these apps don't want to commit to obligating all their drivers to do so. That said, I still want True Money wallet for two reasons -- It often takes longer to get a driver to accept the order when cash is selected. Bigger chance of cold food. It could even lead to rejected orders with no driver found. I'm in the frequent order promotion clubs on both apps. The savings especially on Grab are quite significant. The only way to keep paying those modest dues is to have an online payment option on file.

His dictator instincts drive him to lead by FEAR both at home and abroad. But at the end of the day, he's a FAKE strong man.

It's of course a potentially great tool but based on history and human nature, it seems inevitable that humans have designed a tool for their own extinction. Humanity has dodged doing that so far with nuclear weapons but add in AI and I don't like the odds.

This is the kind of juvenile trolling behavior that you think is desirable from a US president?

You've got repeating all the anti West Kremlin talking points down to a fine art. Vladimir thanks you.

Greenland does have significance to U.S. national security. Greenland and Denmark were already friendly to the U.S. How wise is it to threaten friendly NATO allies with unwanted annexation and possibly using military force. If it's US policy to feel the need for more cooperation with Greenland and Denmark, why not approach them with respect as allies instead of threats?

For me and I think human civilization, AI is a bridge too far.

Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Trump clearly is far into the PROFANE end of the sacred to profane scale.

Apparently, previous Trump administration officials have reported that Trump's obsession with Greenland was first inspired by his idiocy about how it is pictured on MAPS.. Greenland appears as massively LARGER than it actually is on MAPS and it's well known that Mr. Trump is fixated with BIGLY stuff. Obviously for a bizarre egoist like Trump having the legacy of grabbing such a GIANT chunk of land would be very pleasing to him. The most powerful man in the world to be -- Americans voted for this MADNESS. Embarassing to say the least. Why do maps show Greenland so big? - Geographic FAQ Hub: Answers to Your Global Questions

I have been considering getting a Thai credit card from Bangkok Bank tying up 50,000 baht to do so. But so far I haven't found it necessary. I assume that would work with those apps but worth verifying. If True Money and Scan QR won't work for me, then there would then be a stronger reason to do that.

Another angle on the Panama Canal thing. Jimmy Carter now lies in state at the U.S. Capitol. The flag will be at half mast at Trump's swearing in shindig. People are now giving Carter a lot of attention and saying very nice things about him, at least about his POST presidency. The final handover of the Panama Canal to the people of Panama was done by who? You guessed it. Jimmy Carter. Trump of course is an extreme narcissist and always wants to have more attention than anyone else in the entire world. So this explains his timing, yes?

I am doing exactly the same thing, but eventually I will have accessible income and then of course THEN I will file if it meets the threshold.

I will try! Thank you. It's possible to chat up drivers when they accept orders and ask if they can change 1000 (it helps to tell them how much you will tip if they can as after all they're not bringing your food for their health) and I can also ask them if I can scan pay. Do others have experience doing that successfully with Grab and Panda drivers?

I didn't really think of this with food delivery drivers. When you order and choose CASH, I have assumed you need to be ready to pay cash, or if not, why didn't they say pay with SCAN QR as an option? I do pay Tops delivery by scanning QR with Bangkok Bank and I also use bank transfer from Bangkok Bank when buying from Lazada. So far as far as I know it's only about these two very popular apps.
