Serious? Until he's distracted by another shiny object.

Holy Rigatoni! Is "authentic" Italian food actually American?
Jingthing replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
Tomatoes of course coming from the Americas. -
Doubling down on the over the top insults and unfounded accusations. In the real world not the fever dream of your twisted vendetta casually saying I doubt it on an internet forum is merely an expression of a casual subjective impression. To add the discussion of the place prompted information about the place Valencia restaurant still being in business. Great! If you want to be productive instead of acting like a vindictive vicious forum sniper perhaps you could post a review of their food as you seem to have indicated you know about it. But you won't do that will you. That wouldn't serve your vendetta to actually add value to this topic.

There is no one US version of anything except at places like McDonalds. -
I agree that in your case you don't need a TIN and you dont need to file. It seems others do think you would need to.file even though no tax would be due. In any case it's wise to keep good records of all remittances and the source of them in your case excluded social security. That is greatly complicated IF the US account you're sending it from is mixed with money that would not be excluded if remitted such as IRA withdrawals.

Spanish student dies after being attacked by elephant in Thailand
Jingthing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Very tragic. I wasn't aware before of participating in elephant bathing being a tourist attraction. Without knowing the details it seems to me to be rather a questionable one.- 131 replies

It would be foolish to offer detailed predictions. However, overall it's completely obvious that his priority is helping billionaires over everyone else including his core base who will likely get the opposite of what they voted for in things like food prices. As far as deportations he will be obligated to make a big fascist show of doing something cruel and dramatic and may even include civil war inciting actions such as sending national guards to cross state lines under protest of the invaded state's governors, but overall the billionaire class does NOT want actual mass deportations as promised. Bad for business. Also the COST of what he has promised is not even close to being realistic.

I don't believe he will win that. The decision from the judge is incredibly generous and would not be offered to any other U.S. citizen ever. It's rational to be so generous in this case as the American people in their reckless idiocy elected him anyway knowing of all his crimes including intentionally inciting January 6, the most severe and historically significant. No consequence at all EXCEPT the finalization of the conviction status. He's never satisfied. He's still fighting the results of the 2020 election. That is insane.

Thaksin Predicts Debt-Free Thailand by 2027 with New Strategies
Jingthing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I don't understand the obsession of any nation being completely debt free. It seems to me a manageable level of debt is fine and normal. -

That's news to me. Do you have a source? I do know he loves McDonald's, KFC, and steaks done extra well done served with ketchup. -
I do want to mention that although I detest Trump with a passion and do believe he's a damnable fascist and among the very worst people ever to come out of the American culture, with no interest whatsoever in upholding the rule of law, protecting the constitution, or improving the quality of life for anyone but billionaires, I still do acknowledge all Americans (and the world) are stuck with him being the U.S. president. So if he happens to do anything good, anything at all, I will support him on that. I have some hopes that he won't be as bad as I had feared on Ukraine (but he still might), but as far as domestic issues, I have zero expectations. What's all the Musk cutting about? To pay for more tax cuts for billionaires of course.

Perhaps all those regions but a theory I've heard is that Italian Americans being busy overworked Americans were looking for shortcuts and that was a big reason to go with ricotta which you can buy in a store vs. bechamel which you make from scratch. One Italian restauranteur in Thailand mentioned to me that he avoids ricotta in general because it spoils quickly, which indeed it does. Never had a lasagna in Thailand that meets my tastes. Not only the ricotta which you don't get but I like spinach in there as well. There is an American place in Pattaya that sometimes does lasagna on special and there is some ricotta in there but it's a pathetic homeopathic portion of it. You really want it in your face!
