Much of China's infrastructure looks good on the outside, but not built to last.

The Chinese do not have a very good reputation for business ethics. The goal of the CCP is making money at any cost. Destruction of the environment, pollution, theft of intellectual property and the dumping of inferior goods is never a problem for the Chinese.

Not sure about ANA, but JAL has "Red Seats" reserved for handicapped passengers in front of the check-in counter where an agent will assist you with check-in. Then a wheelchair attendant will take care of you and push you all the way through immigration and security to your gate. Upon arrival a wheelchair will be ready for you when you deplane. While tipping is taboo in Japan, elsewhere I always give a generous tip in the local currency. Fortunately, I have a traveling companion accompanying to assist if needed.

Right. Remove the meat from the skewer before serving it to them. Problem solved.

Of course they do. But as you indicated, they don't get a lot of publicity.

Until they all rebel against him.

No, not all recipients depend only on social security to survive. But all who've paid into the system are entitled to receive benefits in accordance with the law no matter what their present income or savings are.

Perhaps you have not noticed that many activists are not necessarily those who have been directly affected by similar issues. Social media has been very effective in stirring up violence.

Early on I predicted that Trump would soon tire of Musk stealing the limelight. Musk's attitude towards Trump's cabinet heads will only hasten the firing of Musk.

What train do I take from Hawaii to Thailand?

I am okay with the higher airfares if the money is used for maintaining safe aircraft.

This is from Priceline: https://help.priceline.com/identification-guidelines-S1UB9186d As mentioned before, I have always been required to furnish my passport number when booking international flights through Priceline.

Look for for much volatility ahead. Opportunities for sure, but be conservative and not greedy.

Priceline always asks for my passport number.

But if their pay was short a few baht their ability to count would soon appear.

Time to clean house and get rid of those with political agendas. No more Lisa Pages and Peter Strzoks.

There are arguments for both theories of the virus's origin. The Chinese want us to believe the wet market one, but think the lab origin is more plausible.

Are you confusing misinformation with disinformation?

A few months ago we visited a friend in Phetchaburi. We stayed at a resort in the middle of nowhere and went to a local restaurant for food and drinks. The owner's four year old daughter waited on us. Smart and polite little girl who provided excellent service. Of course, she a received a generous tip.

We have one. Very handy for picking lamyai, litchi and avocados. We don't have a mango tree.

I'd rather follow the advice of my doctor than listen to anyone who thinks they know all about virology and vaccines. I also have a medical doctor relative who has a background in biomedical engineering and virology whose advice I trust. Are they stupid. Far from it. When some people fail to understand a complicated issue they quickly dismiss it as garbage. Then the spreading of misinformation begins.

Enough, already! He was man enough to admit he was mistaken. No one is infallible unless you are one of those posters who is NEVER wrong.

No problem. To err is human, except for some posters who are NEVER wrong.

No where in the link did I see anything mentioned about transgenders in the military. Any way, that is not what I was referring to. Speaking as a retired veteran, I feel there should be no place for them in our military.

Call it what you want, but I still say it's a slippery slope.
