There is no security problem with allowing this. They stop at the guard desk first. There are cameras. Stop imagining a problem that doesn’t exist. Also this topic is not for you. It is if no relevance at all if you live in a building that doesn't allow direct delivery.

It's been boosted a lot already. Barron Trump is trying to be a professional footballer.

How serious is the injury? Will he be fit to help beat the Dutch boys? Senegal was very impressive over Ecuador even though I supported Ecuador. Their cheering section is intimidating.

Good work legislating this as the Supreme Court has gone off the rails. A tragedy this wasn't done to codify Roe when it was possible. But at least a lesson was learned.

I have light bulb changing service in my building. Free but you need to provide the light bulb.

This topic is not for people who live in buildings where it is not allowed. The topic is about asking drivers to deliver to doors in condos where it is allowed.

I don’t expect it. I prefer it and ask for it. It's not about making me feel top dog. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. No hidden meanings I simply would rather not have to schlep the food if at all possible.

Hyperbole. Food delivery people are not everybody. They provide a useful service for residents. They wear uniforms. They are masked when required. I'm so happy my condo isn't controlled by people with a pole up their ass.

Some of yous condo guards are like little dictators innit. And apparently some residents have the Stockholm syndrome.

All in the context of it's insane to take this guy seriously. Whether his painfully damaged mind meant a subset of expats or all expats, the entire concept of stripping citizenship for moving abroad is strictly from Cloud Cuckoo Land.

I think there is a chance Georgians will elect him simply for the entertainment value of having such a ridiculously inappropriate person as a senator. Can you imagine him questioning supreme court nominees? Let's hope they don't put him in charge of expat affairs.

Obama went to Occidental in LA (an elite private liberal arts college) then transferred to Columbia University of New York and then went to Harvard Law. University of Illinois is a good school but Obama didn't go there.

Just a congressman.

No.

About the Guam sinking into the sea reference. He later claimed he was joking. He might have been. Also from Georgia. But Walker who amazingly might win a Georgia senate seat is actually a resident of ... Texas. Hank Johnson Worries Guam Could "Capsize" After Marine Buildup - CBS News

Trying to make sense of a man that's clearly brain damaged (from football head butting) makes no sense. However, watch the video in the article: "You go there but you lose your citizenship here in the United States of America. When you come back you got to come back legally like we should be defending the border."

Back to the expat thing, I have had the experience of talking to Americans back there who know I've been living abroad for a very long time, tell me they don't consider me an American anymore. Yes of course you can (with difficulty) give up your citizenship, but American citizenship may be the stickiest citizenship there is. It's hard to imagine a U.S. senator being so stupid as to think or suggest moving abroad equals no longer being a U.S. citizen. Yet the polls are close.

God no!

I wish I made this up as satire, but sadly, I didn't. Walker is in a runoff in Georgia and the race is close. He suggests expats be stripped of U.S. citizenship and should be treated as aliens if they try to return. I consider this more of an expat entertainment item because it's so totally insane rather than a news/politics thing per se. But just for "fun" imagine if this actually happened (any nationality) to expats. Herschel Walker Wants to Strip Disenchanted Americans of Citizenship (newsweek.com)

Most don't and understandably the odds of a better tip with full service. Even then the majority that don't know me personally already don't seem to expect any tip even to the door!

They do unless they think there will be a tip to finish the job. It's my impression that most Thais don't tip drivers AT ALL. So I don't feel guilty to ask. They can say no. Another thing I've noticed which is kind of weird. Many of the drivers seem to have a lot of pride of service in doing these jobs and I think that they get that to the door is a complete service so if they get satisfaction from doing this service, that's more satisfaction. Some may think I'm imagining something that isn't there, but that is how I perceive it with easily at least half of them.

To each his own. I'm for free movement of meals.

Yeah that was my assumption that even in buildings that don't allow direct food deliveries, would allow bigger deliveries like a big order of groceries. ... Or sofas.
