Col(u)mbia sends its presidential planecollect worthless illegals after being spanked.
Under Biden, there were an average of two commercial flights a week bringing undocumented Colombians back home. The new President decided that using military C-17s looked cooler and more aggressive, and of course the coward is all about show. The Colombian government objected to US MILITARY aircraft coming. Commercial craft was long okay. 47 then threatened Colombia with sanctions, and the price of coffee soared on commodity markets. I suspect there was also concern that Junior might have cried that his "habit" would cost more...sniff.....sniff. This new POTUS doesn't seem to think ANYTHING through. In just one week he has alienated a good portion of the civilized world. Here are some repercussions one should consider: ---China and Japan are discussing selling all of their US Treasury holdings, which amounts to $trillions. That could send US interest rates to the moon. ---China, Russia and other nations are talking about setting the yuan as the international currency to be used by the BRICS and even ASEAN, both in trade and as central bank reserves. ---The US imports 35% of its oil from Canada, along with lots of wood products. The 25% tariff that will go into effect Saturday is going to raise prices at the pump as well as the cost of housing. ---The US imports heavy crude from Mexico, needed by US refineries that crack that style of petroleum. It's going to cost more. ----Many US automakers source parts from factories in Mexico. Production is going to slow, likely with US auto workers being laid off. Apparently MAGAs think new US factories can be built and go into production in an afternoon, rather than years. ---The deportation orders have scared undocumented workers in the US. Yes, MAGAs, lots of undocumented people work, rather than rape and murder, as 47 likes to claim. Already many are not showing up to work, fearing capture and deportation. This is hitting the citrus groves, where it's harvest time. Expect prices at the grocery to surge. ---Undocumented migrants also work in US abattoirs, so if they stay off the job, the prices of pork, beet and chicken is going to go up a lot. Who is 47 going to blame when his KFC extra crispy bucket shoots up in price? -

Question: "Is life but a joke?"... Maybe, becoming more so, by the day?
To all those around the Watchtower, Is this but a joke? Yes, it is. This is not a joke: Yet, this truly IS a Joke: But, is life but a Joke? If not a joke, then what might it be? Seriously….. Some sort of hallucination? Probably. If not, then what is it? Do these Foxy people know? (The eyes on these women, maybe contact lenses, make them look like.....Children of The Corn. They are a joke, for sure.) Not much of a joke to be hounded on camera for the world to see, even over here in Thailand. Always curious, just like you, Whether or not... Life is but a joke.... Gamma Note: Hendrix was Foxey News before Fox News….eating his guitar, etc…..Such a powerful tongue….. No Fox News in 1970. Life was but less of a joke then. How to live? When life is but a joke? Do you know? -

Thai Tax Laws for Expats: the Practical Implications versus the Realities
There are structures and there are structures. There are ones that where you could still transfer money in and not be taxed. Anyway, I saw the following comment posted today on an Integrity Legal YouTube video. It's anecdotal, but I don't doubt that it is valid too: A mate of mine went to tax office here in Thailand. Asked for tax ID and explained he is remitting funds from abroad and retired here. He mentioned the dual tax agreement with Thailand and his country and he had documents to provide. He was basically told to go away and he didn't need to lodge for a tax ID. He tried to argue that he thought he needed to lodge a tax return. They told him it wasn't needed. So, here is the quandary. I have heard of several other expats a experiencing the same issue. -

Worst or lowest part of your life ?
I think my low point was when I discovered AN and then read my first bob smith post. I will never forget that day and must live with it in shame until it's time for me to clock out. What a pity. -

Looking forward do U.S. expats face the risk of retaliation by nations burned by Trump?
Danes, for one, probably aren't going to be too happy, though I suspect they would only take it out on 47. Maybe send a hit squad. Maybe Panamanians are also going to get a little miffed. They can be much nastier than Danes. If the guy keeps it up, I do think it's likely some nations will start taking it out on American expats. Personally, I would like Thailand to set a much more reasonable target for funds in the banks. Anybody can post 800K baht. Better, in the interest of only allowing "quality" residents, that Thailand up the amount to say, 10-25,000,000 baht for retirees, marriage visas, etc. Get rid of the riff raff. Some countries require as much as $1 million, which would be quite reasonable and certainly allow only "quality" residents. I think MAGAs are probably itching to go home anyway, seeing that they think America is going to be "great" again, whatever that means in MAGAstan. -
