Is Thailand Value for money
Blah blah..... Why have sugar alcohol AT ALL? I haven't anything. I've simply commented on what you actually wrote. Which was pure nonsense. NY style pizza, shrimp scampi etc and claiming it is healthy. Idiocy IMHO. -

Moldova Accuses Russia of Voter Bribery to Block EU Integration
In how many days after "joining EU" most of moldovian boys and girls of active age will cross the border and "Go West" for better job/life/health care/education/security/law? I bet in about a week. PS: Why wouldn't they just re-join with Romania, after all its the same ethnic group. -

Boeing Successfully Completes First Flight of Thailand’s First AH-6 Little Bird Helicopter
Maybe they should. But human participation may spot things a drone would miss. Actually, Thailand could well go out to the RTAF Museum and bring back into service the O1 Bird Dogs they've got sitting out there. Wonderful observation aircraft, durable, reliable. I think Ravens used them as FACs during the war in Laos. There are successor aircraft of course. But the helicopters at least make sense for peacetime emergency services. The US helped several months ago, if I remember correctly, by donating inflatable military river boats. Both beat submarines and new jets.- 2

Where to apply for non-immigrant 'O' visa (over-50) without drawing UK pension?
Indeed. And when you do go to immigration for the 12 month extension it is taken as a 90 report. If you do the exempt/conversion option then you have to manage the 90 day yourself and possibly more time at immigration. -

Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
(In part because I know this area well) Updated 5:46 AM GMT+7, October 4, 2024 The search for the missing hits snags at every corner as Helene’s death toll tops 200 In another county that sits alongside the Tennessee state line, crews were just finishing clearing main routes and reaching side roads that wind through switchbacks and cross small bridges that can be tricky to navigate even in the best weather. Each road presented a new challenge. (my atalics) “Everything is fine and then they come around a bend and the road is gone and it’s one big gully or the bridge is gone.” said Charlie Wallin, a commissioner in Watauga County. “We can only get so far.” Most people the crews come across turn out to be fine and just in need of water, but every day there are new requests to check on someone who hasn’t been heard from yet, Wallin said. When the search will end is hard to tell, he said. “You hope you’re getting closer, but it’s still hard to know,” he said. https://apnews.com/article/helene-asheville-north-carolina-64fe5ca1b80f22fd2fd3b7c50b291d85 -

Where to apply for non-immigrant 'O' visa (over-50) without drawing UK pension?
Although the Website says that you need to be drawing State Pension, you don't & there have been reports of people successfully applying for a Non-IMM O in similar circumstances to yours. If it's no hassle for you to get it whilst in the UK I would just do it there to save messing around when you get back. -

Is Thailand Value for money
Anyone who starts their post with the words "Sugar alcohols aren't bad if you........." immediately losers any credibility. Anyone who feels compelled to announce to the world "this has been my life for 50 plus years..." immediately loses any credibility. -

Is Thailand Value for money
I don't have much in the way of answers. I would say that I don't see any correlation with the number of millionaires and the number of people in poverty in the US. One person becoming a millionaire doesn't mean another person is going to automatically rise out of poverty. There have always been poor people and rich people in the US, with the vast majority in-between--I don't see that changing much in a capitalist system. My post was in response to a statement by another poster, who said that 'Americans are actually quite poor.' I disagreed, and backed up my post with some actual numbers. Median wealth is around $192,000 and average wealth is over 1 million dollars. Nobody is disputing that there are poor people in the US. Of course, there are. But, the vast majority of Americans do not fall into the 'poor' category and America is not 'actually quite poor'. I did a bit more research and found another website that pegged US millionaires at 30 million. I think that is getting more accurate to actual numbers, but probably still low. It's interesting that 500,000 Americans became millionaires in just 2023, so the number is rising--and I would say fairly rapidly. So, perhaps there are around 30 million millionaires and around 37 million poor Americans. If America really was a 'quite poor' country, I suspect the poverty figure would be considerably more in a country of 345 million and the number of millionaires would be far less. -
