Gays don't identify as women. They are men that want sex with other men. -

Crime Hungarian Tourist Assaulted After Failing to Pay Bar & Entertainment Bills in Pattaya
If he/she has a bank account he/she can accept a phone transfer. Money moves faster and easier within Thailand than nearly anywhere in the world -- Thailand has that process nailed down. And maybe he was having a legitimate problem with his phone. We are quick to call out poorly behaved Farang, and Pattaya surely has many to chose from, but occasionally we must be discerning -- not so cynical. -

America has emerged....as an international laughingstock
It is difficult to switch suppliers in the very short term, so to that extent it could be argued that the rest of the world NEEDS the US. Obviously, this dependency works the other way as well. (Incidentally, this short term dependency also explains why US tariff revenue is at record levels). However, outside of this very short time-scale it is a different story: Other nations will WANT to deal with the US but very few will NEED to. On the export side, substitutes for most US goods will be available elsewhere; other things being equal, there shouldn't be any major problems with capacity as goods which were originally destined for the US market can be diverted. All that Trump's tariffs will succeed in doing is reducing the demand for US goods and financially injuring the US producer and ultimately the US consumer. As far as imports to the US are concerned; yes, nations will want to deal with the US but not at any price: No deal is better than a bad deal. I suspect that Trump will wrestle a few concessions from nations and claim a great victory, when in reality nothing much will have changed. I doubt very much that there will be a fundamental reordering of the structure of world trade as some posters suggest. Going off on a slight tangent. I am still baffled why Trump believes that relocating cheap textile manufacturing from the likes of Bangladesh and Vietnam - and cheap electrical manufacturing from China - to the US is a good idea. Are these the types of low-paid jobs which the average American worker wants to fill? Even in the unlikely event that is the case, these jobs are likely to very temporary, as capital innovation will probably soon render human labour mostly redundant in these types of industries.
