"Sidecar stall" I am assuming that this is an illegal stall attached to a motorbike that clogs traffic and endangers legal drivers.

Unlike many socialist countries where the masses pay up to fifty percent of their income in taxes, the citizens of the United States have lower taxes allowing them to invest in the stock market and other areas. The capital gains and income from these investments allow them to live comfortably in retirement and not to depend on the government to keep them alive such as in Canada. So SS is just another income source and not the sole provider like socialist countries.

"Bank of America, the second-largest US bank, had restricted lending to companies that make assault-style guns used for non-military purposes, following shootings at a high school in Florida in 2018. Citigroup also announced its own set of restrictions for clients selling guns that year. Bank of America went on to loosen its gun restrictions and made similar changes to its energy-lending policies, including dropping a blanket ban on financing for Arctic drilling. Then in June, Citigroup ended a seven-year policy that placed restrictions on firearms sales by its retail sector clients, citing recent legislative developments and concerns over access to banking services." https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/banking-finance/trump-signs-order-targeting-banks-over-political-discrimination It's true, big banks do discriminate based on their ideology. I have seen Bank of America advertise for "Pride" events and fly the Pride flag at their locations. I have never seen any Christian or anti-abortion material at the Bank of America.

I'm ready for a nap after that read!

Tariffs' Long-Term Benefits Are Worth Short-Term Costs | Opinion https://www.newsweek.com/tariffs-long-term-benefits-are-worth-short-term-costs-opinion-2045130 Newsweek seems to think that the tariffs are worth it long term. Any patriotic American should applaud President Trumps effort at trying to make other countries level the playing field with their unfair trade to the United States. Trump is making America great again after the disaster of Biden's term. The consumer might pay a little more in the short term but this is good, maybe they will consider buying American goods and cut back on spending and therefore, decrease inflation.

I have had some excellent dark chocolate while traveling in Russia, excellent beer also. Russia’s 5 most valuable export products in 2024 were crude oil, refined petroleum oils, petroleum gases, coal and unwrought gold.

The truth about Bill Clinton’s cozy friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his ‘lovely girls’ as House subpoenas testimony https://nypost.com/2025/08/06/us-news/the-truth-about-bill-clintons-cozy-friendship-with-jeffrey-epstein-and-his-lovely-girls/ Bill Clinton is a pervert and had sex with "that woman" in the White House on Easter Sunday. Billy absolutely knew about Epstein's love of the underage girls. And old Billy boy wanted in. I hope the truth comes out in the House testimony.

Exactly, its the other motorbike drivers that are the main problem, not lorry drivers. And you are so correct, they are crazy and abide by no laws. I am scared sh--less when driving my car in Bangkok, not by other cars but by the motorbikes.

Nigerians, most likely drug runners coming into Thailand to set up shop in Nana Plaza.

Same here, had many motorcycles back in my home country and drove them for almost 50 years but would never get on a motorcycle in Thailand.

16 years now and it just keeps getting better every day.

CNN data guru says Democrats are 'messier than a hoarder's basement,' party's image is 'garbage' https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-data-guru-says-democrats-messier-than-hoarders-basement-partys-image-garbage That's your opinion but other opinions are that the Democratic Party's image is garbage. I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions.

The problem is that even in the supposedly luxury condo projects where every unit is over 200 sq meters, the Thai's will manage it like it is a slum. A developer will build these units and then let the Thai owners manage them. Thai's have no idea how to mange a luxury unit and let the maintenance go just to save a little Baht. Stupid is as stupid does and I am sure stupid for buying one of these units. I am so tired of fighting with these people and resigned the fact that I will soon live in a slum building. At least I will not live in a 28 sq meter chicken coup.
