Misleading chevrons on Jomtien 2nd road.
I suspect that the road does not need any directional guidance, does it? Unlike those driving along it. -

Trump's First 100 Days: Supporters Weigh Progress, Pain, and Promises
This is unquestionably the worst first hundred days in the history of the American presidency, this man is a one-man wrecking crew. He does not get it. But, he will eventually. US influence is not what it used to be. And they will pay a huge price for his isolationism, ignorance, arrogance, tariffs (tax hikes), environmental recklessness, and unwillingness to abide by the law. Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on rivals and allies alike, without any satisfactory explanation of why one is being tariffed and the other not, and regardless of how such tariffs might hurt U.S. industry and consumers. It’s a total mess. As the Ford Motor chief executive Jim Farley courageously (compared to other chief executives) pointed out, “Let’s be real honest: Long term, a 25 percent tariff across the Mexico and Canada borders would blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we’ve never seen.” So, either Trump wants to blow that hole, or he’s bluffing, or he is clueless. If it is the latter, Trump is going to get a crash course in the hard realities of the global economy as it really is — not how he imagines it. -

Moving to Thailand from the U.S.? Here’s What You Need to Know About Healthcare
Yessir govt service including the militarry was a guaranteed lifetime, just as the Japanese used to join a company for life - then they retired (no babies being born for years so now the retirees have to return to work. As manufacturing went in the US, eventually just about all the pensions have disappeared, no guarnatees for life and those that were paying health care for their workers are now pushing back thayt too as the costs continue to soar and workers in US for sure are not that healthy - hooked on those diets that the food industry makes so that they can get richer and it also is helping the pharma industry get richer treating all those sick people. But I also don't think that illegal immigrants should be getting a bunch of free benefits as so many benefits can no longer be available for the citizens whose tax monies are being used for the immigrants in some cities/states. It may be un-Christian like to deny all those immigrants some benefits but why don't they fix things in their own countries or if they immigrate to a western country, why don't they assimilate into the local populace without wanting to make the local change to their old lifestyles? That I don't understand either. It used to be different - now they pour in and in some areas have more votes than the original folks so the original folks either have to change or leave their homeland. SICK IMHO but I don't have any clue on how to fix all the problems. Seems to me in the US, the change began during VN days - but I was working and living overseas so still don't understand how it all happened. -

Crime Shocking Scene at Patong Beach as Tourist Couple Caught in Public Indecency
You have to leave your western ways at home. If you are in Thailand, it´s a shame. Coming to Thailand and refuse to understand. For me, that is a well deserved ticket home. -

Elderly Americans Face Crisis Amid Trump Immigration Crackdown
That would be fine if the fascist Trump regime was actually open to allowing needed numbers of people in legally. But they most certainly are not! Again -- comprehensive immigration reform is the only actual solution. But the republicans don't actually want to solve this. They love having this endless issue to exploit.
