Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches
Jimmy Kimmel's 19 minute anti-Trump rant backfires with viewers 'I was on the fence, but since Hollywood elites like Jimmy Kimmel are supporting Harris, I’ll cast a vote for Trump,' one person wrote. 'Kimmel fell off and has gone woke,' another added. ''Remember when Johnny Carson and Jay Leno were hosts and it was all about class and entertainment? Jimmy is a clown,' one person wrote. 'All this MF does is every flipping night! Rip off on Trump. Do you have any other material? Yikes. Switch channels,' one viewer fumed. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14020461/Jimmy-Kimmels-anti-Trump-rant-backfires-viewers.html -

Thailand’s Medical Insurance Rules Confuse Tourists
Some time ago I needed surgery to remove a plate and screws from my wrist. Went to a large (private) hospital. Was talking to the "finance" people. Lady made a call to find out what all would be needed. Cost of operation - check. 3 nights in hospital (day before, day of, day after) - 500 baht/day - check. This, that and the other thing - check. Then as I watched, she crossed out the 500/day and wrote in 5,000/day ! The max amount my insurance covers per day of stay. The 500/day was the "Thai" rate - when paying cash. She then amended some of the other "standard" prices. Total cost for the operation - 180,000 baht. I went to another private hospital. Smaller than the first one, but the rooms seemed just as good and the staff seemed just as competent. And they charged me 90,000 baht for the SAME operation. Yeah, my insurance covers it - and then guess what happens ? My rates go UP as the insurance company tries to recoup the money they had to shell out - even if I've given them twice that amount in premiums over the previous years. Awesome. You get screwed coming here, get screwed at the hospital and then get screwed again because you used the insurance you paid through the nose for. Remember the story about what, 6-8 months ago about the Thai woman who went to the media to complain because she thought her hospital bill was too high ? The hospital ADMITTED they overcharged her - because they thought she was SWISS, not Thai ! And then they agreed to knock 100,000 baht off her bill !! The gov't claims to want tourists to come here - and then outright discriminates against them, treats them like crap and tries to gouge them at every turn. If this was South Africa the world would be shunning them and their racist policies. But because the "West" wants Thailand to stay "friendly" so they turn a blind eye to it. -

Left Thailand without exit stamp
A friend of mine left Thailand (bangkok airport) without exit stamp on passport by the immigration officer, as passport control was done automatically by passport control machine that checked the passport electronically and took photo of my friend, then the gate was opened It's the first time that happens to him. Every time he left Thailand he always get an exit stamp by the immigration officer. It's this new thing normal? 😄 -
