For sure. I've had KFC in both Thailand and the US recently. The Chicken in Thailand is much better quality, and not nearly as greasy as in the US.

Why? Just leave extra early. I've done this at least 20 times and each time I always got to the airport hours early.

Exactly this. Eternal existence isn't the focus of Buddhism. It's not like Christianity that way. Buddhism teaches to live in the present moment and not desire anything more than you have at the present moment.

I guess you haven't read about all the US banks and brokerages that are closing accounts of expats living overseas......

I don't think you will ever have a problem if you mostly use the wifi call and text function. Just don't connect to a cellular network, or do so only occasionally.

Do you have an android phone? If you do, and you have the fi app installed, if you turn off the cellular network, and connect to wifi only, you get unlimited calls and texts to the US on any plan over wifi. Wifi calls and texts don't work with Apple phones unfortunately. I've used fi for about 5 years. No problem using the wifi calls and texts nearly daily while overseas. If you use too much data overseas, they will stop your data. That happened to me a couple of times, but got reset after I returned to the US for a few weeks. Calls and text still worked even though they stopped the data.

No where in the constitution does it even mention social security. You have no constitutional right to social security. Social Security was created by congress, and congress can write a law and change social security in anyway they see fit.

It's not about impact on the budget. It's about Trump screwing everyone he hates, and he hates everyone outside the US--that includes expat US citizens. He see us as traitors for living abroad. It's only a matter of time before he ends overseas social security payments.

Probably. He was a huge donor to the Democrats. He even donated to both Biden and Harris back then.

Who is evil? The entire MAGA crowd

What is your argument? Trump is evil. So was Clinton. The picture you posted of them together helps prove they have the same morals.

Was that when they invaded countries that led to the deaths of 100s of thousands of people? I said "thought of themselves as good". Not "were good". Certainly not everything they did was good. Now they don't even care about being good. They are proud to be evil.

Not really. I still don't see how a picture of them together helps your argument.

Yah, very true. He was a democrat and pro abortion his whole life until just before his first presidential run.

I'm not on blue team. I used to be a Republican before Trump. Remember when republicans thought of themselves as good and decent people? Now your only defense is to say Trump is no worse than Clinton? Wow. Just wow.

You do know that Epstien donated regularly to the democratic party and it's candidates. I'm sure if Epstein was still alive he would have donated to his good pal Donald.

Why aren't you using google fi for calls also? With any android phone, you get unlimited calls and texts to the US over wifi.

I doubt they will give you a refund anyway. The fact that they are promoting it for business is part of the scam. No real business will bother with this. You lose your normal consumer protections when you buy business products. If it sounds too good to be true.....

It seems very likely now that Trump and the MAGA crowd will stop social security payments to those of us living abroad. That certainly is worthy of worrying and arguing about.
