Department of Government Efficiency Claims $55 Billion in Federal Savings
You lot should have watched the CPAC 2025 conference. Get your info directly from the horse's mouth instead of your left-wing news outlets where the info comes from the other end of the horse. -

Being black in Thailand
YouTube has a stated "diversity and inclusion policy" (Google it to learn more). The short of it is this summary: At YouTube, we put equity and inclusion at the forefront of our mission. To do this, our teams explore how our practices, policies and norms may create bias and inequity on the platform. This is why we established a dedicated Racial Justice, Equity and Product Inclusion As a result they promote "being black in ..." videos so that the average Farang can peer into "Black America". You may have seen this also which may seem strange because blacks are so are in Thailand. That's Google at work, not organic at all. My first feeling is oh great, race war crap from America is coming to the Thailand, I hope it doesn't reach me. In actuality this is just the bias they're promoting and the numbers are very small but it's still unsettling. As a white American I find this distributing that they have this persistent paranoia they bring around with them. Coming to Thailand or any country and making your race front and center of your identity is surely a bad way to go about life. Of course us Farang have always been treated excellently by the Thais (some will disagree I know) but honestly I'm not sure they're so keen on blacks so maybe their paranoia is justified. In fact my first year in Thailand I was in Pai in 2005. One day me and my brother went to the local hot springs with these two Lisu hill tribe girls we met (cutest girls, we were all in our very early 20s) and this jet black African man appeared a little while later (extremely rare back then and still pretty rare today). The girls were visibility horrified and recoiled in fear clutching on to me and my brother. Not joking it was like they saw a snake. The girls probably never saw a black man before considering how remote they lived. So it makes me think, is the paranoia justified? Do blacks go around life thinking deep down they are feared and reviled? Are they? If you're interested you can listen to them in their own words. -

The Laundry Caper: Another Day, Another Injustice
Personal safety, climate, food, infrastructure, living costs and, yes, women were all factors in my choice. The other countries struck out, for various reasons. To give one example, you don't pay rent in Indonesia on a monthly basis. You pay 12-18 months in advance. -
