American Teen Goes Missing in Phuket, Parents Rally Online Support
while it must be worrying for the parents, at 19 years he is a adult and if he wants to take off then it's his business. there are often two sides to every story, possibly at 19 he has very good reasons for wanting to leave the home and not contact his family. -

When Does "Great" Start, MAGAs?
I thought I knew what the meaning of “great” is, but apparently, I need a remedial course in semantics at POTUS’ eponymous university, as right now I’m quite confused. I never would have thought a slowing economy on the verge of Recession or worse, a collapsing stock market, and alienation from former allies and friends equates to great. Neither would I have thought the world needs fewer air traffic controllers, or that treating veterans like vermin constitutes great, unless they really are just “suckers and losers”. Seeing a brain-addled, likely ketamine-addicted clown lose half his net worth in 2 months is kind of entertaining, but that’s not great. Quite funny, yes, but the better angels in me do worry about inheritance for his ever-growing herd of weirdly named spawn. Maybe POTUS gave us some hint when he answered a few questions aboard AF1 yesterday, or his White House issued a press release, but that also makes me wonder if I know any mathematics at all. “Great” must be hiding there somewhere. When asked about the possibility of a Recession, POTUS ‘reminded’ us that “you’re going to get so many billions and billions of dollars from countries paying tariffs…you’re going to be so rich, you won’t even know where to spend all the money” (I bet the answer, if there is one, is at an online MAGA store schlepping Chinese-made goods that avoid the tariffs.) That comment had me reaching for my copies of David Ricardo and Adam Smith works, because I am obviously confused about the nature of tariffs. Maybe if I sniff glue, OD on ketamine, or pop lots of Adderall I will see the light, as MAGAs do. The press release that puzzled me had to do with the southern border, and a claim that illegal crossings are down “more than 100%”. Silly me, I thought percentages were limited on the downside. Must be the Even Newer Math. Perhaps it has something to do with fluctuating currency exchange and that Mexico finally ponied up for the wall that was never built. Or maybe he sent his trans-looking 3rd wife back to Slovenia or Slothvenia or the Sloth Republic or wherever it is she was lab manufactured. I’m not woke, but when I see her, I realize the species is due for some new pronouns. I can suggest a few, such as Ice Queen or Black Widow Wannabe or Whodatb!tch. Anyway, so far this “great” thing is a bit too subtle for me to appreciate. I can see it’s making many of the MAGAs orgasmic, but most anything will do that to Incels. The bar is set low for guys so far below the mean they have to look up to see down. As I write this, market futures are down again, Tesla has dropped another 3% from its Monday close, Consumer Sentiment is at a 4 year going low back to the Covid Era, Unemployment is rising, countries who are tariff targets of POTUS’ ever-changing policy are decisively imposing their own tariffs now, steel prices are up 30% since the end of January, lumber futures are up 20%, eggs are being sold online for $7 apiece, and in a time of bird flu, the new Agriculture Secretary advises Americans to buy their own chicken and keep it at home. I guess that’s the new way to stem pandemics: spread it around. If all that’s “great”, then somebody please give me a little George Thorogood and Bad to the Bone. -

Do foreigners need to pay tax in Thailand?
Never said it was a requirement. CRS agreement gives a member country knowledge of one's assets in other CRS member countries. -

Labour’s VAT Policy Could Force 100 Private Schools to Close, Labour Minister Admits
Usual right wing drivel from the Mail. No attempt to put things in context. "Figures for 2024 show 46 private schools have closed with 77 opening." "More than 75 private schools closed every year in England on average over the last decade, official data has shown, with no apparent increase in the trend since Labour announced it was imposing VAT on fees." https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/oct/26/no-rise-private-school-closures-england-since-labour-vat-proposal-data -
