  1. I wad replying to members speaking off Australia specific.
  2. Just one example. You need to check the dta if any for your country.
  3. Yes. Garland's performance as AG was very pathetic.
  4. I have no reason to think that Merrick Garland wouldn't have made a good supreme court justice. But as the Attorney General during Biden's term, his actions, more like his absurdly delayed actions, set the table for the reemergence of the disaster soon to be inaugurated January 20. He was appointed as a consolation prize for having had his seat on the court stolen from him. I understand the emotion behind that -- but what a massive historic mistake. The USA and the world will pay a very big price for the milquetoast behavior of Merrick Garland.
  5. Not inclusive. Dividends. Capital gains on investments. Rental income. Pensions not excluded by DTAs (for example U.S. IRA accounts)
  6. You're forgetting who we're dealing with here with Donald Trump. Projecting normal predictable responses to him our adjudicated rapist twice impeached convicted multiple felon insurrectionist prez elect doesn't wash. To me, that climate change as a scam narrative is completely insane.
  7. Leader of the free world or leader of the autocratic world? His greatest global fans are dictators and fascists.
  8. Not saying it's news. It's comedic commentary that quite often is spot on.
  9. Imagine if the BIG ONE (great California earthquake) happens under the Trump regime. Their sickening divisive cruel bigotted unpatriotic response to these fires is a dark foreshadowing.
  10. Unfortunately can't post it here. but for an entertaining commentary on the outrageousness (and total HYPOPRICY) of the maga response to this fire disaster, I do suggest watching the latest Jon Stewart Daily Show item about the issue.
  11. To be clear I am not saying this fire disaster is a matter of one factor. It's a matter of many complex factors including climate change, population increases in high risk area, and all kinds of efforts successful and not successful of mitigation attempts by policies and actions. What I do know for a fact that the current maga effort to blame this on some officials being black, some officials being lesbian, and a government being dominated by democrats in a region dominated by democratic voters, and calls for cutting off federal DISASTER aid unless politically motivated "conditions" are met is incredibly stupid and incredibly wrong. Trump talks about annexing Canada. I wouldn't blame Californians after these outrageous insults and threats from federal maga and zero compassion while so many Californians are actively fighting for their homes and their lives (but lets do the BLAME GAME instead) to start to look into joining Canada (ideally including Oregon and Washington to make it geographically coherent).
  12. Vexler is correct. It's a waste of time "debating" with man made climate change deniers. The same as it's a waste of time debating with flat earthers.
  13. So he didn't even ask you what were the specific sources of your outside Thailand income remitted to Thailand? I'm sure others have heard such things but I would be skeptical because we know for a fact that some types of income remitted to Thailand definitely are taxable in Thailand. But that's different than an office saying and following through on having no interest in ENFORCING that. Kind of joking but I guess it would have been rude to ask him to give you a signed document to the effect of what he said.
  14. I'm going with Vlad Vexler. It's idiocy to even bother to engage with man made climate change deniers. But he's polite about it. I consider such people total morons.
  15. Pensions clearly pay out income. It may not be income currently earned, but it is still income. Thailand differentiates between ACCESSABLE pension income and EXCLUDED pension income (if remitted). U.S. social security is EXCLUDED. That said, my current understanding is that Thailand classifies U.S. retirement account withdrawals (IRAs, 401ks) as accessable pension income when in no way does the U.S. consider them as pensions (but withdrawals can be taxable income (Roth vs. Traditional IRAs). A classic pension has defined payments. A person could have an IRA and take out zero one year, 100K another year, at their choosing. How is that a pension?
  16. Is anyone CURRENTLY using their Kasikorn VISA debit card of Panda? I've entered it several times. Get OTPs but it never accepts it as a payment option successfully. I see before someone said he had a fraud problem related to use of that on Panda. I'll be watching for that.
  17. With Bangkok Bank MASTERCARD debit card? Bangkok Bank explicitly told me that both Grab and Panda won't accept that anymore and there's nothing they can do about it. Sure they could be wrong. Anyway, I got my Kasikorn VISA debit card working on Grab but not Panda.
  18. That's a hilariously weak argument even considering the source. 92,000 out of world of the internet billions clearly not even vetted as eligible LA voters. Even if it was only vetted LA voters, really a puny number. You could easily get many more signers of such garbage for a petition saying the earth is flat. You know this but you went with it anyway. As far as Newsom's presidential ambitions, personally I could care less (intentional Americanism). Yes he's ambitious but maga just won an election. Give it a rest on presidential politics at least until after the midterms! It's just mental masturbation now to speculate which people will emerge as contenders in 28 if indeed there is even a fair election to happen in 28 after Trump has done his dirty authoritarian business.
  19. Again Hoover is at Stanford. The views of Hoover are the views of Hoover. You will not find one document from Stanford saying that Hoover's views are their views.
  20. My impression is that maga type white nationalists love him because he's a token black intellection who appears to support their feeling that they have no responsibility for institutional racism because after all this famous black guy says it doesn't exist. How convenient. A Critique of Thomas Sowell. There is something of an obsession… | by Tristan Graham | Medium
  21. I call B.S. His views do not represent the views of Stanford.
  22. Your woke definition meaning beyond your conprehension.
