Wake Up! - EVs Are Here, and Your Gas Guzzler is on Life Support
Well, there we have it. Wait a year to verify it is legit and then this will be my next car unless(probable) there is even a better option. Funny, now that I switched to renewables for most my energy needs, I'm spending more than ever before but it is fun. -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
You tell 'em. First, let's assume you're an honest US Citizen, so you declare your Thai interest from your Thai bank account on your annual US tax filing. Let's say your average amount in the bank is $25000 (850k bt). Based on what Bangkok Bank paid me last year on my savings account interest (.40%) -- that would be $100 in annual interest income to report on my US 1040 tax return. So, that's what you report on Schedule B of the 1040. Or, you don't, 'cause you have no taxable income (standard deduction greater than gross income). Or you don't, 'cause you're dishonest. In any of these situations, it won't matter that Uncle Sam knows you have a Thai bank account, because under FATCA, there's no reporting on aggregated accounts under $50000 at year end ($75000 any time during the year), so in my example, nothing about your account will be forwarded to the US. But, of course, if you have well over $50000 in Thai bank accounts, and you don't report the interest on these on your US tax filing -- that's why FATCA came about. So, yeah, if you're a tax evader, best not give your SSN to the Thai bank. But, if honest, what's the big deal....? -

Is It Easy to Get Things Done in Thailand, or Is It Laden with Needless Formality?
The Bank situation seems way over done now. I went in to change my phone number and must have signed 6 documents, copy of passport, photo, bank book. Then, was told I had to wait 7 to 10 days for an sms before I could log onto my account with instructions to complete the transfer of the new number. I get scams and fraud, but when you have been with a bank for 12 years I would think it should be less of a hassle. -

Trump keen to blame diversity and inclusion for Washington DC crash
So, the trump white house said COVID was a lab leak, so you deny it, but, recently under Biden the CIA previously said a lab leak is most probable, so do you either A, deny the lab leak totally because the white house said it or B, are you calling Bidens CIA liars? -

If you are retired, does it bother you that you will never be a Thai Permanent Resident?
So you don't have permanent residence, but a LTR visa? Not same because LTR visa expires as far as I'm aware -

Trump Orders Crackdown on Antisemitism, Targeting Visa Holders and Protesters
The Arabic word “Intifada” translates to “uprising” or “shaking off.” It has been used to describe periods of intense Palestinian protest against Israel, mainly in the form of violent terrorism. “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.” People leading these groups should be rounded up and given a one-way ride to Palestine. I'm betting 99% of these sheeple have no clue who Hamas is and should be given an introduction. ETA: What an interesting college course this could be. Could call it "Welcome To Reality" 101.
