  • ‘His brain is broken’: Critics torch ‘unstable’ Trump after wild social media meltdown

  • Would that happen? I doubt the US would remove him, would Europe be able to do any more than symbolic acts?

  • My friends are still in jail': Cubans take to the streets, but fear crossing line

    Jump

  • Sure, the Cuban people yearn for freedom. Weird how it coincides with America cutting off its source of oil and causing a looming famine. I'm sure if the Cuban government was replaced by one favored by the US, the people's conditions would improve. Like in Russia, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc.

  • Australia to provide military support to Gulf states attacked by Iran

  • Is there any evidence that this actually happens? Because at least in America, we learn about that model in school and hear about it on the news all the time, but in practice, it's just a pretense to justify the center-left doing right-wing policy that wins donations but loses elections. People's beliefs aren't 40% communist, 60% fascist, they're a scattering of somewhat random, usually contradictory stances, and they don't pick the candidate whose policy most closely aligns with their views, they pick the guy they like, which is only somewhat influenced by policy.

    Why would the center-right vote for a center-left party doing watered down versions of what they want when they can vote for a center-right party?

    Does it ever work the other way? Do you ever have a rightwing party implement center-left policy that their own voters hate, and then get rewarded by center-left voters?

  • 8 cities is a lot, how much time do you have?

    I loved Hanoi, Da Lat (also Sa Pa) up in the mountains are beautiful. Vietnam actually cools off up there. It's kinda otherworldly when you descend from a foggy 60F mountain top to a 100F, sunny valley.

    A lot of foreigners buy a motorbike from HCMC/Hanoi, ride to the other, stopping all the way, and sell the bike.

    it’s legal for foreigners to drive in Vietnam with an IDP

    OK, so it's legal under the 1968, not the 1948 convention. But if you're pulled over on a tourist route, cops don't really care about documents, they just want a bribe. Ask around to find out what routes are shaking down tourists. Don't keep all your money in your wallet, just about 2-475Td in case you get pulled over by a cop.

  • I would strongly advise against renting a car in Vietnam. There will be hundreds of motorbikes swarming around you, and you'll have to constantly be aware of them inches from your car while watching for cows, farm equipment, construction vehicles, 2 old folks sharing 1 mobility scooter, the guy with a washer+dryer+refrigerator on the back of his bike who can barely turn or stop, motorickshaws, etc, where traffic rules are largely vibes-based.

    Technically even with an IDP, foreigners cannot legally drive in vietnam so if there is an accident, you are paying.

    I would recommend taking a Grab for a few days to get a feel for traffic, then renting or buying a motorbike. You can rent a Honda Wave for 1 month for ~1-1.5 million VND (40-60USD). You can buy for 150-300USD, but you'll need a Vietnamese friend to pick out a bike that can be resold for nearly the same price when you leave.

    Everyone rides slow so even if you have a few beginner accidents, you'll be fine.

    What kinda itinerary are you thinking of?

  • Vietnam urges people to work from home to save fuel as Iran war disrupts supplies

  • Maybe this will accelerate Hanoi's push to electrify the motorcycles and build mass transit?

  • I do t really believe that the ratchet effect youre describing is a thing even in the US, but it certainly isn’t in Australia

    So are right-wing voters going to vote Labor in the next election because Labor implemented (compromised) versions of right-wing policy? Or are they going to vote for the right-wing parties?
