Promises made Promises kept , POTUS first few days! The lefts radical response!
If you're so smart, why aren't you rich logical fallacy. Weird Nerds will do anything to protect Musk. 😄 "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich" is a logical fallacy known as "argumentum ad crumenam" (argument to the purse), which assumes that wealth is a direct indicator of intelligence, wrongly implying that someone who isn't rich cannot be smart; essentially, it dismisses someone's argument based on their financial status, not the merit of their ideas. Why this is a fallacy: Many factors contribute to wealth: Factors like luck, family background, business opportunities, and social networks can play a significant role in wealth accumulation, not just intelligence alone. Not all smart people prioritize wealth: Some individuals may choose to pursue intellectual pursuits over financial gain, prioritizing different values in life. Ignoring systemic issues: This phrase can overlook systemic barriers that might prevent individuals from accumulating wealth, regardless of their intelligence. -

When I went to the Chonburi immigration office and asked what should I do when the work permit had been cancelled, but visa had not, they told me no worries, you can stay on that visa until cancelled. So I did. When I was leaving the country walking out to Laos, there was no problem with them, especially when I said that I would be receiving a new visa from a new employer. When I was applying for a new visa in about two months, they asked for the paper about the cancelled work permit, but again, there was no problem, I got the visa. The problem arose after almost 3 months when the school took me to get the extension of stay based on a new work permit. At that time the officer saw that between the cancellation of work permit and my leaving the country there were 43 days ... -
