Sorry Canada. We love you.

It kind of makes sense for him to promote the local specialty. He's not as far off as it might sound. The original COCA COLA wasn't called COCA for nothing. In many ways regulation, legalization, and standardization would make things much safer for users. As it is now, you don't know what kind of literal garbage is cut into any street drugs or what the dose really is. and yes that can be very dangerous even fatal.

I wouldn't listen to Somchai on that but I would self assess and determine if you meet the threshold of assessable remitted income or not. If not, no need to file, and worse case if audited be prepared to prove that and still owe no tax. Cheers.

That isn't liberal logic. That's transphobic exaggeration and fear mongering. Forget the sports issue for a moment which in reality actually involved a TINY number of people. Consider what the fascist Trump regime just did. They ordered the complete erasure of any reference to trans (or non binary etc.) in all government documents. Basically, telling trans people that they don't exist. You may hate or be ignorant about trans people but they DO exist and the government is supposed to be for ALL the people. Consider what they did at the CDC. They ordered all research which presumably cost a lot of money that referred to gay people to be wiped. Erased. That's why I said, first they came for the trans. That research was used to promote health of gay people worldwide and yes (duh) gay people have specific health concerns, just as black people do, etc. This is evil. This is fascism. Look at history if you don't believe me. Yeah I know maga types will say this is hyperbole, this is paranoid. No. It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you and or ERASE reference to your very existence.

So you're good with trans woman who chopped then? Shall we have genital inspections to enter?

With maga cruelty is the point. Trans people are being used as one of the easiest initial scapegoating targets. Fascist movements always need scapegoats.

It puts the expat in a very vulnerable position. They could accept the application with overstay fines or at their discretion they could reject it.

If he wasn't rich he would be in a padded room.

First they came for the transgenders .. Divide and conquer.

I saw another video today which raised a new question for me. It said health insurance premiums could be used as deductions (or credits?) or whatever the term for that is in Thailand. But then it said something vague about health expenses which sounded to me like any out of pocket health care expense which if you're not covered could be a massive amount of money for hospitalization, etc. But then it said there were LIMITS on the amounts. But then didn't give the limits! Does anyone have more specific information about that?

About the brokerage account aspect. A brokerage account might have a cash bucket part in it. Perhaps a money market fund or something like that. I don't think that firm has opined on whether TRD would accept that cash bucket part the same way as cash in a regular non-brokerage bank account. Someone should ask them. It seems a grey area.

President Musk.

Israelis do have mandatory service (with exceptions) for men, women, trans, and intersex but presumably some would serve non-potential combat roles depending on their particulars. They get a chunk of money after service so If you see on a budget groups of young Israelis in Thailand and other popular destinations, there's a very good chance they're taking their after service long holiday abroad. For many that's their last hurrah before going back to stressful full blown adulting. I wonder how that compares to Amish Rumpspringa. (Very wild times!)

Welcome to Trump’s fascist America. He loves the uneducated. He's shutting down the Department of Education. The grocery prices voters didn’t vote for this!

The rot starts at the top.

Lawless presidency. Not for magas. For the conned grocery prices voters.

Resistance.

Not a landslide. 1.4 percent margin. Trump didn’t even get 50 percent. Even a landslide doesn’t give dictator powers.

That's not what this is about. It's about an illegal power grab.

I hate illegal unconstitutional takeovers of my country. I consider anyone that doesn't to be anti-American and adjacent to Xi and Putin. Personally, I haven't been crying, but I am angry.

I think it's verifiable fact that the Muslim world has treated Palestinians badly. Look at Lebanon. They could have been fully integrated decades ago, but no they are eternal refugees hanging on to their giant keys to houses that no longer exist. That is STUPID. Of course the Trump idea (it's just a distraction from the fascist internal coup within the US) supports ethnic cleansing which is of course a war crime, and now there is a hopeless attempt to impeach about that.

What decent American wouldn't be?

Weirdly, I agree. The Muslim world also likes to keep Palestinians as eternal refugees because then they can have a scapegoat of Israel to blame for that and deflect from the crap they are doing to their own nationals. But don't ask me for a solution to this mess. I don't have a clue.

The false assumption by maga about Musk is that he is doing these things to help the American people. WRONG! He's doing these things to help Musk, Trump, and his fellow tech oligarch billionaires. Any "saved" money isn't to help the American people. It's for larger tax cuts for billionaires and paying for Musk's pet projects. How can maga people be do blind?!?

To continue on the theme. The only thing standing between democracy and dictatorship in America
