Where do you place yourself politically?
Haven't got a clue what left, right, dem, rep or liberal means any more. I'm all for less govt involvement in personal home life, business, regulation, redundant taxes. Totally against foreign aid ... any foreign aid, as long as home country citizens are suffering and theirs a national debt. How does a govt borrow money to give it away. No household can, would or get away with that. I don't believe in sending military overseas, especially as a corporate security force, without being compensated, and on a voluntary basis only. Don't know what label gets puts on me. I believe socialism & a democratic republic can co-exist. If the govt didn't ruin everything it touched (think USA Soc Sec), then they should be in control of the basics. Make them affordable for all, since 'non profit'. Education, healthcare, utilities/energy, (oil & electric). But greed & corruption seems to be all that matters, no matter how many lives it destroys or even kills. So I don't think I fit into any label, left, right or in between. Actually prefer not to be any part of it. I don't believe there even is a far left or right, or left or right. There's the controllers, and there's the allowed perception of left & right for idiots to distract themselves and argue about, while getting royal screwed doing so. You got the <1%, (horrid humans) laughing all the way to the bank. Another <1%, GODsends, knocking there heads against the wall, try to make a better world, for the other 98 ish %, that are total ignorant idiots, so self absorbed with there stupidity, they haven't a clue. Not a fan of humans. Wow ... that was fun I feel better ... did someone say soapbox. I never ... -

Trump's pick of JD Vance a hopefully fatal mistake for his maga fascist movement
Medicare Part D would be required to raise prices on Prescription drugs. People would be forced into Medicare Advantage. Project 2025's authors have called for raising the Social Security retirement age. Project 2025 is evil. Now we are just debating how evil it is. -

Elderly Man Dies in Phuket after Falling from Bike
A motorbike taxi doesn't cost much. Or ask a neighbour as you referred to rural communities. Also, you get a pension. Not much indeed -

He was looking for a visa stamp in my passport. Like the visa stamps Ethiopians need. -

Resurgence of Conscription in Europe Amid Rising Threat of War with Russia
And there's this: China warns against meddling in Kazakhstan ahead of Putin meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping has kicked off a visit to Central Asia with a no-nonsense statement of support for the territorial integrity of his first host country, Kazakhstan. It sounded like an assertive statement of intent from Beijing, coming just before Xi meets Russian President Vladimir Putin this week in a face to face that the world is watching closely. Russian-ally Kazakhstan has been shaken by the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, while facing down saber-rattling from Russian nationalists angry at what they deem Kazakh disloyalty over the war. https://eurasianet.org/china-warns-against-meddling-in-kazakhstan-ahead-of-putin-meeting Probably because of considerations like this: Kazakhstan’s Border With Russia Is Suddenly an Open Question Again Moscow has long claimed parts of northern Kazakhstan. The country’s current turmoil makes those claims a lot more relevant—and troubling. Amid nationwide protests rocking Kazakhstan this week—which have already resulted in bloodshed, political turmoil, and the end of former dictator Nursultan Nazarbayev’s cult of personality—the country is going through an unprecedented shift. But as Kazakhstan continues to roil and as troops from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Russian-led military alliance, flood the country to “stabilize” the situation, one potential outcome is suddenly very relevant yet still overlooked: state fracture. Specifically, the potential for a revanchist Russia to use Kazakhstan’s domestic turmoil as a pretext to seize a swath of northern Kazakhstan, which Russian nationalists have long coveted and ethnic Russian populations in the region have long toyed breaking off from. https://archive.ph/KYS31#selection-971.0-979.370 -

You have lost the plot. Trump and Project 2025 aim to give operational control of DOJ, with the power to initiate prosecutions and with veto power over potential investigations. That is classic Fascism. Do you approve of Trump's goal? -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
Not that it looks hard to get, for just about anyone, on their own, but consider: Once the agents familiarise themselves with the process, I expect we'll see "guaranteed approval or your money back" DTVs issued, en masse. Additional fee sure, but convenient. -
