  1. I only have two complaints about the system I have to work with. First, I'd like to synchronize these two pensions (one from the state, one from the corporations I worked for), and use the same Proof of Life for both. Despite email and chat conversations, and talking on the phone with a real life person, it wasn't possible. But ok. Second, I used to get the Proof of Life documents by mail, and sometimes it just never arrived. This is Thailand after all. So now I get everything through the internet. Small complaints, I'm quite happy with how these 'bureaucracies' work.
  2. You have to send your Proof of Life by mail to the USA? How backwards. I have to send two different Proof of Life documents every year, and I can do that by scanning and email. It appears that is possible in 2025.
  3. Cutting aid to projects in foreign countries comes from bigotry, if you don't show what the waste fraud and abuse is in those projects. Btw, if there was any waste fraud and abuse, show it, and eliminate it. Not the project . Another btw, isn't Congress the institution to determine where the money goes? This is all done by a wacko with plastic cheese on his head, or two hats, running around with a chainsaw or making the Sieg Heil salute. Yes, and a self-admitted ketamine addict.
  4. I agree, but I go a bit further. He fired people indiscriminately, no thought behind it. That will have actual cost in real life, later on. Some of those people had to be rehired. Legal costs. The ending of f.i. USAID has nothing to do with waste fraud and abuse, it has to do with bigotry. Unless Musk, or DOGE, shows what waste fraud and abuse he has miraculously discovered. So far he hasn't. It's a chainsaw in the hands of a drug addict, allowed by a clown.
  5. Can you explain to me what Musk has actually achieved with his illegal DOGE actions? For one thing a lot of private data of American citizens has found it's way into his hands, but what else?
  6. Elect a clown (a corrupt fascist and racist clown) expect a circus (a corrupt fascist and racist circus). 64 million, 74 million and 77 million adult Americans voted for this clown. Do they enjoy the circus? Or are they simply too stupid?
  7. If you mean by 'peace agreements' the Abraham Accords, the only thing it has achieved is handing over 2 billion to Jared Kushner, plus many millions each year as 'management fee'. Of course it ignored the Palestinians completely. It was all about greed, and worked out well that way. It has absolutely nothing to do with peace in the Middle East.
  8. Why bring the dumbest of Trump's sons into the discussion, while it's about Donald Jr?
  9. Thanks for changing the subject, as expected. My father taught me, if you do something, do it good. Biden has been a disaster in foreign policy. He is too slow, too scared. And allows Netanyahu to put the middle finger to him every single day, while being complicit in genocide and war crimes. If Biden really wanted to help Ukraine against the illegal invasion of Russia, he should have acted quickly and decisively. He is not capable of that. That's Biden's legacy. Besides, by his weakness and incompetence, handing over the presidency to a vile person like Trump.
  10. I'm not disputing that America's so-called 'democracy' is going the way of a never ending reality tv show.
