Another brilliant idea from the Trump administration
You should refrain from posting more MAGA lies, because Mexico doesn't use can sugar for local soft drink production for the past 14 years. They only use it for the coke they export to the US, and it is because they don't need to import it like the US, and get slapped with a 50% tariff on top. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Coke The Coca-Cola Company originally imported the Mexican-produced version into the U.S. primarily to sell it to Mexican immigrants who grew up with that formula.[2] Mexican Coke was first sold at grocers who served Latino clientele, but as its popularity grew among non-Latinos, by 2009 larger chains like Costco, Sam's Club and Kroger began to stock it.[2] Since then it has become readily available at grocery stores throughout the United States.[13] A 2012 scientific analysis of Mexican Coke[14] found no sucrose (standard sugar), but instead found total fructose and glucose levels similar to other soft drinks sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, though in different ratios,[5] but a response to that study said that sucrose hydrolises to its components in acid environments very fast.[15][16] In 2013, a Mexican Coca-Cola bottler announced it would stop using cane sugar in favor of glucose-fructose syrup, to comply with changes to the Mexican food labeling law.[17] It later clarified this change would not affect those bottles specifically exported to the United States as "Coca-Cola Nostalgia" products.[4] -

The Expat Paradox: An Appraisal of Westerners in Thailand
With respect, saying that this isn’t relevant to me is actually part of the paradox. The original post wasn’t claiming every expat fits the stereotype — it was highlighting a pattern that exists within the larger population. And ironically, one of the key behaviours it describes is this exact reaction: distancing oneself from criticism while insisting the issue doesn’t apply — even as it unfolds in real time. There are tens of thousands of expats in Thailand, yes. But pretending that hypocrisy, entitlement, or superiority complexes don’t exist just because you personally don’t see yourself that way… is exactly why the term paradox fits so well. -

USA CBS Drops Bombshell: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' to End in 2026
It probably didn't help that he was being beaten soundly by someone as abrasive as Fox's Gutfeld. That's gotta sting. -
