Putingrad?

This is nothing at all new. To blame it on woke culture is a transparently lame attempt to promote a right wing agenda.

Norway. Xi. Doping minors.

Well I don't really know. My first impression is that it was probably mass hysteria or if not a disgruntled employee.

Well some banks, credit card companies, etc. might block logins from what they consider dodgy countries (Thailand often) just based on one logon if the user didn't tell them they were traveling beforehand. Then you'd need to contact them. The firms that are hunting expats are looking for users that ALWAYS login abroad.

Anyone that still remembers how it felt like when young wouldn't even be asking this question.

Getting there but no cigar. Require the pre flight PCR. I would also require vaccination. Then ... NOTHING ELSE!

Admit it. Something like this has been missing in your life, yeah? Are shows like this the reason hasn't got gay marriage yet? (Click CC for subs.)

I think where we're going is the development of a new for lifetime vaccine OR annual vaccinations after booster. Like the annual flu vaccine.

Latin America?

Personalization attempt ignored. Shared housing has its place but there are serious downsides when moving into another person's space. Like landlords? Enough to live with your landlord? Situations like that are notoriously short lived and subject to housemates hating each other Working full time, being out of the house usually required. So rare to be open to retired people wanting to mostly be at home. Conflicts over shared bills. Owners offering that often little dictators with long lists of petty rules. Renters can never feel at home. High stress. Leases rare. Can be kicked out any time. Much more suitable for younger working people. Usually a quite degrading undignified experience for older people. Without sounding sexist this could be better for pairing old women. For owners needing financial help then you can be the little dictator and take in your own boarders. A much better situation as you're the boss!

I am talking about something very specific. HUD senior housing. Yes you do need to be 62 or older. Example. https://www.phgainc.org/locations/decatur-ga/ As far as general section 8 housing the units actually need to be available. Conveniently in Pollyanna USA the trend of landlords leaving the program ignored. You have an irrationally sugar coated rebuttal for everything. I don't think you're posting in good faith. More like a blood sport. This is a very serious issue not a game. I'd rather play wordle. Thus I wish to exit engaging with you about it. Enjoy the carnival.

Evictions are not rare. https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/evictions-common-think-whos-risk/ The HUD senior housing policy is no evictions ever. A returning expat would be a non standard application. They might reject based on not being able to verify history. Agree to disagree on how grim things are but videos about living in cars and converting vans aren't massively popular for nothing.

No visa.

Visa either 800k in bank or agent.

HUD senior housing waiting lists are typically several years. Anyone ever evicted is ineligible. As mentioned before landlords are dropping Section 8 to ride the high rent gravy train. Yes SNAP helps a little. I think you paint a Pollyanna picture. That said a low income older returning expat with a clean rental history and lots of SAVINGS could possibly find a landlord by paying cash in advance and get on a HUD waiting list. If lucky after two or three years they could get placed. But without savings very unlikely. People can't evade this reality. Returning as a low wealth low income older expat in these times will usually be GRIM unless they have mitigating things going on. Such as family taking them in or perhaps special skills commanding high consulting fees.

Affordable in the U.S.? I don't think so. Consider someone on a 1300 SS check. 170 goes to Part B. I'm seeing some small town backwaters with theoretical rents as low as 600. Rents go up and most of such backwaters have almost no actual rentals So maybe you could buy a basic house in such a place for 100k to 200k. You could if you had that in cash. Nobody is getting a mortgage these days on that income. No public transport in such places and little in nearby health care. So you'd need a car to drive far for shopping and medical access. If you could manage to get or keep a license as an elder, typical full running costs are 10k annually. Yes you could do less with an old car but then that ups the repair bills. Then there are the extra medical costs even on Medicare. Typically several thousand annually. Of course if the same person had 300k saved, more options in the US Yes of course a working age person could bootstrap these days, work two or three jobs (not in a backwater with few jobs). As said multiple times it depends on the specifics of the person's situation.

I already posted my opinion of levels but that obviously is more of an individual thing. Different people have different basic needs. I've posted about other countries on multiple other topics. If thats not good enough perhaps refer to International Living.

Would this also block Voip non Thai phone numbers.

Again I'm suggesting that low income / low wealth expats leaving Thailand strongly consider ANOTHER country rather than the US.

Huh? Of course its fair that they can live better. You're inventing an issue that doesn't exist. Two issues that do exist however are insane levels of housing inflation and a massive shortage of affordable housing. Not mansions. Basic safe roofs over heads.

I doubt it.

The majority of Americans on social security have only that as income. The system wasn't designed for that but that's what happened.

Well over 99 percent of Americans that are suffering from the severe lack of affordable housing are not expats. If you actually have bothered to follow my thoughts on this I am advocating that lower wealth / income expats leaving Thailand should strongly consider the US as it is now to be a last resort. Go where you're treated best to another retired expat destination where your lower US homeless level income is more like upper middle class. Why choose suffering, degradation, risk of homelessness if you don't have to?

It's not really funny at all. The recognition of these two new fake countries by Russia included borders of lots of land the rebels don't control.
