      Why is Russia such a cesspool?

      Adenovirus-based vaccine method is very well documented I wonder why those fat US giants came up much later than RU. my guess is RU was rushing to create and spread that vaccine while Big Pharma was raising stakes and doing something behind curtains.

      Form 7162 Anybody Received Theirs Yet for 2024?

      It is a problem and difficult to digest the cost savings of the SSA.GOV International Operations pay roll expense account confiscated from our USD tax flooding a metal desk in Manila command and control of ASIA, from Australia to China... Reasons? The majority of USA citizens have bypassed Manila and use their friends and relatives and pre- paid mail forwarding services located inside USA phone numbers... There fore do not give a ??? about Manila FBU SSA.GOV inquisitive scattered delayed process of fiduciary duties. Any person inside the USAS with a business card printed SSA.GOV name and number is not interrogated not inspected not questioned about SSA.GOV payments inside the USA but this is not true living inside a foreign government demanded banking and passport verification every 90 days and then there is the MANILA FBU SSA.GOV interception to generate MANILA pay checks and customer service delays.. what is a fact that USA citizens are already under the command and control of foreign country governments Immigration because the USA passport is good only for a 90 day temporary visa... BUT inside the USA just print your name and SSA.GOV number on a business card that has no bio metrics, finger print, photo identity, integrated circuit chip, laser. inspection every 90 days and go empty a bank account. The argument is it is 10 times more security scanning of a USA citizen by a foreign government and zero security scanning inside the USA so the news is never give your name and your SSA number to strange people only give it on job applications and medical services and et all... There is no medical services in a foreign country Medicare is void and the money is silently pocketed at SSA.GOV International, further more your bank account demands a valid passport inspection of your identity periodically under foreign government Immigration and financial banking networks describing your deposits and withdrawals security monitored by your foreign phone... Where is the BEEF? Why pay Manila for this services to deposit inside your bio metrics passport secured bank ... Another issue is the licking of stamp's and post mailing 71xx forms to Pennsylvania paid agents metal desk collection to prove you are alive but rarelly acknowledged delivery after ritual expenses.. What is real fact you are dead as your body parts are examined by the foreign government police who are trained and to report to your USA Embassy from your USA passport you are dead... Take it or leave it this is a 1776 cry for assembly and to push and deliver to the new SSA.GOV Chairman Mr Omalley, the board the facts of living outside the USA collecting SSA.GOV Benefits. is a very high secured accountable process not the same sloppy money delivery applied to a business card name and number inside the USA borders. The SSA.GOV is scheduled out of money 2033 because of OLD GOAT board of directors unaware of life changes over the past 70 years... Mr. Omalley declared he has a difficult job and needs help how to distribute your SSA.GOV Benefits over time... It is Mr Omalley who expanded the use of internet reduction of sloppy wasted additional pay check, expenses, delays, waste generating paper work alternatives such as Microsoft TEAMS secured and LOGIN.GOV secured and MySSA accounts that are a step in the right directions... However these tools are ignored by the OLD GOAT paper chase system and are ineeded and should be applied at all foreign country retired USA citizens to reduce paper work filed forms and dead or alive reports licking stamps... The MAIN CENTRAL PROBLEM IS ZERO FEED BACK FROM USA CITIZENS who lost the spirit of 1776 regards SSA.GOV fight for survival.. What is the problem ALL THESE INTERNET TOOLS ARE LOCKED BLOCKED UNLESS YOU FAKE OR FORGE A USA ADDRESS AND USA PHONE NUMBER ON TOP OF YOUR 2 STEP LOGIN.GOV VERIFICATION ACCOUNT DEMANDED TO ENTER MySSA THIS IS THE MESSAGE BUT NOT AVAILABLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRY USING FOREIGN COUNTRY IMMIGRATION REGISTERED PASSPORT ADDRESS AND FOREIGN PHONE NUMBER Create your personal my Social Security account today A free and secure my Social Security account provides personalized tools for everyone, whether you receive benefits or not.

      Has my sex tourist friend found a loop hole?

      He’s visited Thailand twice. Tried the single male touristy thing. Gogo bar, beer bar and freelance on beach road in pattaya. Now he gets on his rented Wave, rides around until he finds a good looking girl sitting outside a massage place. He goes in for an oil massage (300thb), when the “do you want boom boom” question pops up he decides whether she’s shagworthy or not. If not, he’s had his daily massage. He claims having his body rubbed in a nice air conditioned room, fondling, touching, talking in a quiet and relaxed environment helps him to make the right decision, and for just an extra (1000thb). In comparison to the other three methods, he claims the cost, noise, pressure to buy lady drinks, the pressure to take out a girl quickly does not always lead to a good outcome. well done mate was my response.

      White Culture

      The point goes to people who post images of so-called “ whites” with racism in mind. No matter what, it is true racists usually have no problem sexually exploiting women in less developed countries who have lower economic status. Some even come to Asia and embrace Asian nationalism to serve an ethno-nationalist agenda. Had an interesting conversation with a Japanese lady once. She figured out her Finnish boyfriend was a full on Nazi. She had to dump him, smart cookie.

      Florida Law Enforcement trying to protect the innocent,ain’t easy!

      Florida is a safe space state imop Hurricane Milton’s rage, but safety first from sexual predators. Sex offenders barred from shelters in some Florida counties. “Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly announcedthat anyone labeled a sexual predator by the state would not be welcome at regular shelters, directing them to stay at the county jail if they are in an evacuation area instead”. https://www.newsnationnow.com/weather/sex-offenders-shelters-florida/#:~:text=Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly,in an evacuation area instead. Hurricane Season ,Sept 6 2017 Sheriff Judd: Sex offenders, those with warrants not welcome at hurricane shelters. The ACLU released a statement on Twitter saying people with warrants are dealing with non-violent offenses and pose no risk to those in a shelter and shouldn't have to worry about facing a natural disaster without aid to avoid going to jail over things like unpaid traffic tickets. "With a storm of Irma's size and ferocity bearing down on the people of our state, Sheriff Judd should be working to prepare his community, not burnishing his Joe Arpaio-style 'tough cop' credentials with a series of irresponsible tweets," the ACLU said https://www.fox13news.com/news/sheriff-judd-sex-offenders-those-with-warrants-not-welcome-at-hurricane-shelters

      Why is Russia such a cesspool?

      A Russian colleague of mine once, surprisingly, described his Mother country as a Nation of peasants. He attributed all of Russian's problems to this characteristic.

      Tm47 online submission "rejected"

      Only seems to be directed to reentry from international trip. The change in rules June 2020 did away with TM30 requirement for out of provience and international travel.. TM30 became change of address. Perhaps mail option is good fit for you

      Maximum Baht I can take out of Tland as cash

      A useful graphic that explains the different Baht export scenarios and the associated approvals required. https://bangkok.diplo.de/blob/2315914/6ad009567cf7d9816b4ed0088ee6fc0d/taking-thai-and-foreign-currencies-in-or-out-of-thailand-data.pdf

      Maximum Baht I can take out of Tland as cash

      I always carry in cash the 50'000 THB required as a reserve for my next visit in the 5 months of winter, in case the bank blocks again my account and refuses to give me cash like it happened with BB last year. My passport had expired and they wanted the copy of the new one - fair enough. Except that the account was opened in a BB branch in Hua Hin and I was in BKK and of course the bank manager refused to unblock with the new passport and was only to happy with a sly grin to put another foreigner in hot soup.

      Trump chickens out again.

      great interview, thanks for bringing it to my attention. watch it yourself ,you will see the context. the whole 1 1/2hour is pretty similar, very amusing viewing. it certainly isn't how the msm headlines and their flock are trying to portray it.

CDN$ into Thailand

Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen....non-resident....trying to figure out what best to do with some Canadian dollars.

Due to non-residency status, I do not have a bank account in Canada (only in America) and would like to have relatively easy access to the cash. Current exchange rate makes conversion from canadian to american dollars miserable....and i don't need any of it now anyway.

I'm currently in Canada and so far the easiest 2 options that come to mind is to bring cdn cash into Thailand (usd equivalent <$20,000) and either deposit it into a Canadian dollar bank account or throw it into a safety deposit box and convert when necessary.

I usually live on usd and have noticed in the past that even when the usd is more or less on par with the cdn dollar it isn't so friendly within Thailand.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thank you....

Take your cash to Oanda, or some other exchange house or a bank and get it changed to HKD, THB, Dong or whatever you need. I don't think you need to be a client to buy money from a bank. A main branch of any bank should have baht but I find I get a better rate from the exchange houses. Phone around and find out who gives you the best rate.

I am a Canadian and a non-resident. I am retired and have lived in Thailand for several years. You can legally have one Canadian bank account in Canada as a non-resident. You can confirm this with a tax accountant in Canada. You can then keep your money in Canada and transfer it to Thailand as you need it. You can't transfer it through online banking if you are here in Thailand so in order to do the transfer set up a joint bank account with someone you trust in Canada, transfer money to their account through online banking and then they can go to the bank and do the transfer to your account in Thailand. I deal with the RBC and Krungsri bank. I have done this several times. Transfer is typically in my Thai account the next day.

A much better answer than mine.
