Democracy has failed the US,maybe it's time for a King
What is this "disaster"? MAGAs are always barking about some disaster, but I can't seem to find it. I do know that in December 2020, before Biden-Harris took over, the US was suffering a Recession, 6.8% Unemployment, and was in the midst of a pandemic and a lockdown. 45 was the 1st POTUS since Hoover to leave office with fewer Americans employed than when he entered. To me, that all kind of sounds like a disaster. Today, the US has seen GDP growth since the end of 2020 that runs 3 times the average G7 nation, the US has been best at taming worldwide inflation, unemployment is ~4% and set the longest streak <4% in 64 years during Biden's term, the first new chip plants in 40 years are being built, the infrastructure is being fixed, prescription drug prices are down, and 800,000 new manufacturing jobs have arisen. The stock market---and everyone's 401K---has soared. In a true rarity, both Consumer Spending and Consumer Saving grew in 2024. If all that is a disaster, can we please get more! I understand not all boats have been lifted by the rising tide of the Biden Boom, but that isn't Joe's fault. The modern economy does require that folks bring talents and marketable skills to the table. Apparently, MAGAs are not in the demographic of talented or skilled, save for the billionaires wanting more tax breaks. Sorry you missed out. Maybe it's kind of courageous you admitted that. The last 4 years have been an incredible wealth building opportunity, the best since the Clinton years. Batten down the hatches now, because the champion of American Carnage will be sitting his bloated fanny behind the Resolute Desk in a week. Woe is us. -

Uyghur detainees in Thailand fear imminent deportation to China
China has already murdered thousands of poor UYGHURS. What would the Thai government say if China did the same to the imprisoned Thais? UYGORS are not criminals,just an ethnic minority. -

Heartbroken Irish mum honours ‘special son’ lost on Koh Tao
"Relatives of the victims and other critics have accused Thai police of incompetence, corruption, and failing to carry out proper investigations". How dare they besmirch the good name of the RTP! -

Credit card scam
Someone has managed to get hold of your credit card details and is trying to use it. Its just that simple... and its not uncommon at all - we use our card for most transactions (from Lazada, to Airlines, shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants etc).. Invariably we'll get stung once a year. Wife calls up CitiBank (now UOB) and tell the transaction is fraudulent - they'll cancel it and issue another card (different number) and thats it. Usually the scam 'transaction' attempt is a smaller amount at first - to see if the card is working, they they'll attempt something larger which will flag. I've had this happen to my UK and Thai Cards - scammers are everywhere and its just par for the course now. The only explanation I can see: You've used your card somewhere and the info has leaked. -
