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/

Delicious news. Don't mess with Mickey Mouse!

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.

As predictable as the <deleted>s after eating a rotten goat meat curry.

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).

Yes it could. Crashing dollar. Crashing stock market. Social security checks will be prioritized to be paid but not indefinitely. It's the republican party's fault. They are financial terrorists. More toxic than foreign enemies. Raise the debt ceiling (money already spent) and negotiate the budget separately as is supposed to be done. “Debt-Limit Terror” Is No Way to Run a Superpower | The New Yorker

OA visa and expentions Yes required O.visa and extensions Not required So start with an O visa and you can avoid the insurance requirements

You have grossly distorted the actual meaning of that bullet point

Thousands of years.

Not legal in public but probably not well enforced either.

Coffee is much more of a crutch than weed. How about people ladyboy up go cold turkey on the hot Java (a real physical addiction) and medical use by IV drips at hospitals only? Yeah. That's the ticket.

Another one who favors ugly anti LGBT bigotry under the cynical cover of anti woke. Thailand isn't Florida bubba. Gay marriage and civil rights for transgender Thais are important Thai issues.

Nothing about weed? Cool. They ought to reform wine taxes with the understanding that wine is a key part of culinary culture.

I call BS. Smoking weed in public like that is already illegal. Any customer should have complained about that and gotten that A hole to stop. The vast majority of weed users in Thailand have interest in causing a public disturbance.

Obviously we can't / shouldn't become politically active here. But dude this is an English language discussion forum and Thailand just experienced a historically significant national election result. Of course it's OK to discuss that!

It's a constitution. So it's constitutional. Obviously for Thailand to really "move forward" they will need yet another new constitution.

No. Pita's party is on record to support putting recreational weed back on the narcotics list,!

Not sure what you want. CBD doesn't get you high. Are you taking CBD gummies or THC ones? Anyway sounds like you need to do more shopping. Perhaps someone can point you to a good source.

Oil often is CBD. You might consider making it yourself. There are youtube videos about that. You could also buy flowers and bake it as per online instructions then stuff into empty gelatin capsules. Another idea is to buy a dry herb vape where you're not combusting the weed. It is quite mild at lower temperatures up to 190 C.. Then you can use the vaped weed again in capsules. Eating raw unheated flowers will do nothing.

Bait ignored as you have studiously ignored my points.

Sure it doesn't matter if you're a straight white man and the court is all straight white men. Nothing fishy about that.

Sorry I don't believe you.

They are dealing with a public that is not only straight white men. Applying the law isn't an algorithm. Would you not find it strange if the Supreme Court in your state was all Latina lesbians? Would that inspire your confidence in the justice system?
