Political hit piece chock full of LIES. It's truly disgusting how the divisive forces of maga care 100 times more about the how they can smear their "enemies" with disinformation as opposed to dealing with an ongoing crisis in Southern Cali. Also truly disgusting. it's quite clear the "red" America under convicted felon Trump is going to help with the aftermath of this as weakly as possible only because it happened in a very blue state. The foreign enemies of the USA rejoice!

Facing reality.

Hoover Institution -- right wing think tank.

Add to that what gives them joy generally gives Putin joy as well.

Update on this is a mixed bag. Really the only reason that I wanted True Money was because Grab and Panda no longer accepted my Bangkok Bank Mastercard debit card even though I have activated that for online shopping. As mentioned before Panda doesn't accept True Money from foreigners even though True Money does. Weird, huh? So I was trying to upgrade my True Money to be used on Grab but whatever instructions they gave me on the phone didn't pan out when I tried it. So then I thought heck I will try get my Kasikorn Visa debit card to work. Previously I had failed to activate that for online shopping so I called them and they said Grab and Panda would need that to be able to use it. Even though I had failed several times to active my Kbank card, customer service helped me get that done, and once done, I was able to successfully add it as my default card to Grab. Also I will be able to use it for their premium promotion club which saves me a lot of money. So great on that. For Panda, it still fails when trying to add as a payment method. Which is no problem if I want to pay cash on scan QR for orders but now with no card payment method on record I can't renew their Panda Pro discount club. Oh well. Grab was much more important to me anyway. So now I don't even really need my new True Money account. It does work to pay at 7-11 and for Lazada shopping but I didn't need either as I like to pay cash at 7-11 to get change and I have been paying by bank transfer app on Lazada. So I have no reason yet anyway to even try to upgrade my True Money account. It was a pain to open it so I'll keep it open as might actually need it later. I did a test pay at 7-11 where the clerk scans my QR code and that was pretty cool -- impressed the Russian tourists that I was local. So sorted for the most part for now.

No it doesn't.

Can't be worse? You're very funny.

That's a rude and obvious lie.

Good intentions? More like troll intentions. Nobody voted for that name change. Remember the egg lady.

He likely has the power to change it for US maps, schoolbooks, etc. But the public and the rest of the world can ignore the looney convicted felon.

That I would insane washing.

Trump is queer bird. He threatens America's closest allies but sucks up to our enemies. Americans really wanted this MADNESS? People should really stop trying to SANE WASH this man.

Ditto. Aloha.

More rights than you do? Garbage lie. Come back when you've digested basic facts.

Sounds like you're active in the Thai economy. My perspective is non-working retired expats. Before now very few would have had a TIN or even known what a TIN is.

I would guess well over half probably much higher because any expat that consumes any expat targetted media whatsoever (especially youtube channels) could not have avoided hearing about the subject. As far as understanding it all yet probably very few. I wish I could say that I was one that did, but I'm still struggling to get a clear definitive answer on U.S. retirement accounts.

No. That was vile fear mongering.

A very good point which I've thought of myself. We do know that rule was changed which can be called a loophole as wide as the Holland Tunnel. We also know certainly that a significant percentage of foreigners did remit accessible income the same year so technically that should have been filed and tax paid if due. But I've not heard of a typical retired expat that ever did file about remittances. Perhaps some expats with economic activity in Thailand AND remittances and getting tax advice might have dealt with this issue. As far as the number of expats audited just over investigating this matter? I would guess ZERO. So in practical reality that was a SUPER LOOPHOLE which most expats didn't even know about and if they did could be confident it didn't matter anyway as it was fair to assume they would never be challenged. As I've said before, we DO know this rule has changed. But we don't know what that will mean as far as audits and investigations. Time will tell. Not sure if that means a lot of time or a little. If I had to predict, I do think because of all this media attention including pronouncements from Thai authorities, that's it's fair to assume some level of enforcement though up from nothing to something possible even a lot.

Civil rights are non-productive? It's not surprising that the rhetoric of maga republican Americans mirrors autocracies such as Z Putin Russians in most every way.

The Kremlin is loving it!

Oh no. LGBTQ civil rights. So nonproductive. Do you consider yourself SUPERIOR to such minority groups? In general maga people do.

That's obviously a total crock.

Mainstream beliefs such as there aren't Jewish space lasers.

I'm happy to hear that has worked out for you, mate.

All the "evidence" they need is that the white nationalist maga movement hates seeing any minorities in positions of power and falsely conflates them as all being incompetent. They do accept TOKEN minority people as long as these TOKEN people express support for the overall maga movement which is at its core white nationalist. They are particularly very obsessed with fomenting ignorant violence inciting hatred towards transgender people. Authoritarian movements do need their scapegoats. The truth is there are both competent and incompetent people in important positions of all kinds of descriptions. You can't generalize.
