I've had 6 of the COVID shots. Most recently before my May 2023 visit to Mexico. No sickness, yet. 😁

IF the main issue in the General Election is a recession then advantage Biden, if he repeatedly and effectively points-out the damaging financial decisions of then Pres. Trump and the mistakes and high interest rate policies of the GOP dominated decision makers at the Federal Reserve Board. The GOP is always better at messaging than Democrats, though.

The income test for legal permanent residency in Mexico is high, higher than many expats can afford. Correct me if I'm wrong: I believe it's +/- US$60,000 verifiable annual income, or static annual investment / bank account balances of +/- US$220,000. From what I observe, many expats are living in Mexico illegally (not suggesting floridarob is).

I don't place any importance on sketchy public opinion polls this far in advance of a general election campaign. Biden hasn't even begun to campaign, nor campaign against whomever the GOP nominates. His popularity will increase as the general election progresses. If the GOP nominee is Trump or D, Santis ... Biden wins. If the GOP nominates a generational younger candidate ... Biden will still be strong, but his age will become a front-burner issue as will the Harris Factor.

Yes, and the law has to limit false claims by scamming insureds. I've had friends who've filed false claims, for things which were their wrongdoing / damages. If / when someone files an inappropriate claim and is compensated ... the rest of us who don't act that way pay the price, eventually.

The devil is in the details. The small print. There are many possible / legitimate exclusions that most of us may think unfair.

Just what the Doctor ordered! Not!

In the other discussion about this incident a news article was linked and identified the business as Phoenix Fitness and Sauna Service Centre on Ratchada-Tha Phra Road.

There's another discussion on the same topic:

Yes.

The above remarks come from a trip report posted to a forum for straight guys traveling for sex. Might mean something, or nothing.

Thank you for the comments, floridarob and Tomtravel. For the past couple of days, I've been doing a deep dive into current information for Havana and Santiago, Cuba generally. Descriptions I'm reading in traveler trip reports and a couple I've viewed on youtube align with what floridarob has recently been told by his contacts there. Maybe I'll go, maybe not. I'll continue to digest comments here, and elsewhere. Thank you.

Exactly.

This would be a first-ever visit to Cuba for me. A mid-August birthday present. Easy flights out of Tampa. The dark side of Santiago ... calls out to me. 😁 But I'm open to visiting Havana, alternatively. What do I know? Nothing, about Cuba. I've been looking for / at independent-entry casas particulares independentes in both destinations. Suggestions? Thanks!

I'm thinking of traveling from Tampa, FL to Santiago de Cuba, or Havana for a long weekend in August. Does any reader have current, recent information about USA residents traveling to Cuba? Thank you.

"Medal of Honour"? Someone suggested a Medal of Honour? By the power vested in me I hereby present ...

Accident, or suicide?

Jenny Craig is being revived online | CNN Business

Sounds familiar, when we watch reactions to Israel's apartheid.

Jenny Craig and her husband hadn't had control of the company since as far back as at least 2006. Nestle took control then, later sold it, and the future owners were unsuccessful. Jenny is 90 now and earned and donated millions of US$.

LOL!! Help is on the way:

You're infatuated with polls. Strangely so. Live a little, learn some more things and form your own opinions without seemingly relying on a small sample of what others say they think.
