Cheaper eggs under Trump... and the irony
The MAGA boys on this forum like to brag about Trump keeping his campaign promise, and lowered the price of eggs. And then comes the irony. He put a 50% tariff on those eggs https://finance.yahoo.com/news/brazil-egg-exports-us-spike-164555787.html Brazil egg exports to US spike after bird flu, ahead of tariff SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian total egg exports, including fresh and processed products, rose almost 305% to 5,259 metric tons in July, reflecting strong demand from the United States after its bird flu outbreak, according to data compiled by industry group ABPA on Monday. The U.S. turned to Brazil after bird flu reduced domestic egg supplies, raising prices and inflation. However, President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, including eggs, on August 6. In the first seven months of 2025, the U.S. was the main destination for Brazilian egg exports, with 18,976 tons shipped there in the period, representing a 1,419% rise and almost $41 million in sales, ABPA said. -

Rachel Robert’s "Sporting Life": Barking like a Welsh Corgi
So then, why do you insist upon hiding your light under a bushel? But, I would advise using the NRSV, instead, which is required reading at Yale University.... Wow... The cats, outside my house, are yowling a mean-streak this night. Time to read the NRSV translation of the Bible, I guess. -

Retired expat out there who has been issued with a TIN number?
My experience is a small amount different. For a trading account, once the Canadian bank determined I was no longer a resident of Canada, the money was frozen. There was no one year notice. It was frozen immediately and I ended up contacting them to find out why. They insisted I provide a tax ID to unfreeze. After I provided the yellow-book/pink-ID # they then advised I could only sell equities and move equities to cash (but not purchase new equities). ... or I could close the account (transferring the money out). That is what i did. I transferred the money out (albeit it took me a while to find a Canadian institution that would let me transfer money to, with my being a non-resident to Canada - complicating this was my transferring a Canadian Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) - sort of a USA 401k equivalent). i managed to open a new account with another Canadian financial institution who were ok with me not being a Canadian resident (as long as i was a Canadian citizen), and I transferred my financial equities + cash there. To open the new account they also insisted i provide a Thai tax ID. They too accepted the Thai yellow-book/pink-ID #. I would have happily provided an active Thai tax ID to the Canadian financial institutions, if the Thai RD would have provided such to me when I applied. Instead the Thai RD turned down my TIN application (with a caveat from the Thai RD that my pink-ID# could be the TIN if and when they activated such). As I posted, since I had no Thai income and I was not bringing money into Thailand, I did not meet their criteria for requiring a Thai TIN. For the Phuket RD branch (and this may be true for other RD branches), one REALLY needs to let them know that the Thai TIN is absolutely necessary to unfreeze a foreign account. And emphasize that point to the Phuket RD, else in my experience, they will deny the TIN. -

All I know is i don't belong. I've made peace with that a long time ago. Most of my frail deeds go unnoticed.
