Another major Trump Flip-Flop
Remember when Donald Trump fulminated against Tik-Tok and wanted it banned? Trump Asks Supreme Court to Delay TikTok Ban So He Can Weigh in After He Takes Office Trump Signs Executive Order That Will Effectively Ban Use Of TikTok In the U.S. President Trump on Thursday invoked his emergency economic powers to impose broad sanctions against TikTok, a move that steps up pressure on the Chinese-owned app to sell its U.S. assets to an American company. In the order, which takes effect in 45 days, any transactions between TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, and U.S. citizens will be outlawed for national security reasons. In practice, experts told NPR the order likely will mean the viral video service could no longer receive advertising from American companies and the app could be removed from Apple and Google's app stores. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/06/900019185/trump-signs-executive-order-that-will-effectively-ban-use-of-tiktok-in-the-u-s Then came this: When the Biden administration said in March that it supported legislation that could ban TikTok, Tony Sayegh jumped into action. Sayegh, the head of public affairs at one of TikTok’s biggest investors, had become an unofficial adviser to the Chinese-owned social-media giant as it navigates survival in the geopolitical crosshairs of the world’s two superpowers. He turned to a seemingly unlikely potential savior for TikTok: Donald Trump, then the presumptive Republican nominee for president, who had initiated the effort to ban TikTok in his first term. Sayegh started back-channeling to Trump’s closest advisers, making the case that it was foolish to hand wins to both President Biden, who would appear tough on China, and Meta Platforms, which Trump believed had hurt his re-election bid in 2020... “If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” Trump posted on his social-media network Truth Social, referring to Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg with a Yiddish obscenity. https://archive.ph/I1zjg Then this: Trump Asks Supreme Court to Delay TikTok Ban So He Can Weigh in After He Takes Office President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. https://time.com/7203951/trump-supreme-court-delay-tiktok-ban/ And now this: Trump says it could be worth keeping TikTok in US for a little while "I think we're going to have to start thinking because, you know, we did go on TikTok, and we had a great response with billions of views, billions and billions of views," Trump told the crowd at AmericaFest, an annual gathering organized by conservative group Turning Point. "They brought me a chart, and it was a record, and it was so beautiful to see, and as I looked at it, I said, 'Maybe we gotta keep this sucker around for a little while'," he said. Trump met with TikTok's CEO on Monday. https://archive.ph/gvTBN#selection-1435.0-1445.39 -

Did you eat any street food lately?
My GF sometimes buys me a pad siew gai for lunch. She is picky about who she buys it from, occasionally comes back empty-handed. -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
Lots of questions there so Ill just address one aspect and leave the rest to others: With those sorts of amounts, you may want to think about holding multiple currencies in multiple territories. I think it would be a mistake and risky to hold only Baht and to hold it all in Thailand. I would also think long and hard about whether you really need to buy a home here instead of renting. Good luck in what you decide to do. -

American on Dirt Bike Kills Thai Woman Crossing Road in Chiang Mai
I have not taken any side but again offered possibilities. I understand what you've said about SOP, but like you also said, no evidence of guilt, charges are dropped. I have seen prejudice and others have also. I'm not saying this always happens. The same thing also happens in the US, but insurance companies are the ones who decide who pays in the long run anyway. I didn't give in. I told the policeman what happened, translated mostly, and he took the other;s side. In the US it would have ended differently. I thought at first it would be 50/50 because I was turning, although staying in my own lane, which was evident from the debris from the cars in the road. -

Windows 10 support ends in a year . . .
Yes. Apologies. The 12-2024 Cumulative Update. I did read Microsoft either were allowing, or couldn't stop, the upgrades to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, but they may have been able to stop updates to unofficial upgrades on unsupported hardware. -

Admittedly, there are plenty of unusual occurrences in Thailand. However, they are a far cry from the exaggerated, disparaging national mindset you so often attempt to depict with your bigoted sweeping generalisations.
