It's the wild west as far as what you get. Expecting industry wide quality control standards is purely a pipe dream. Buying weed is never an investment. It has a shelf life. You don't store it for decades like a rare wine. I am also fascinated by the variety of strains. Weed isn't one thing anymore. It's thousands of things. Also a strain called Nirvana Biscotti for example will be very different coming from different farmers. My solution? Don't risk getting badly ripped off. Pay in the 250 per gram range directly. I'm getting acceptable quality, variety, and value.

I am not confident that more indictments of Trump will help Biden win. Maybe maybe not. Trump could potentially win from behind bars. What I do know is that Trump gaining power again would mean the official end of American democracy. I also know if Trump loses he will claim he won again and his well armed cult members may start a real civil war. Trump is the American nightmare that keeps on giving.

Could a US debt default unleash global chaos?

Describing what the republican party is doing as financial terrorism is (sadly) not hyperbole. From their ex-president who is leading to be nominated again in 24: Truth Social -

I said before in the event of a debt default that social security checks would be prioritized which I have heard before. Well. Maybe not. According to this the government may not have the authority or ability to prioritize like that and if they did it might be challenged in court. So what this means is that Americans might not get their June checks or maybe they'd get a partial check. That could be serious for retired expats here that use the income method. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/05/18/debt-ceiling-default-deadline-payments/ -

It's a bigger risk to happen this time because trump wants it to happen and speaker McCarthy can lose power over just one vote. Their extremist wing including mad woman Marjorie Taylor Greene are very capable of mad actions. -

They're so cynical that they think they will be able to blame the democrats because it would happen on Biden's watch. -

Do that at budget time Don't threaten to blow up the world economy. Also when Trump was in power with his atrocious tax cuts for the rich you didn't hear a peep from his fascist party about deficits. Also they are such vile hypocrites. They actively oppose more IRS agents that are needed to audit the complex taxes of the wealthy where the take ins would be massive and help reduce the deficit. Don't even bother to assert the fascist party actually cares about deficits. Thru obviously do not.- 25 replies

I'm assuming he will want to start with an O, not an OA. So the next question is how he can best get the initial O. In his home country, in another country, or in Thailand (as a conversion from a tourist visa or entry stamp).
