Luckily, something I'll never need to worry about.... I don't look for "elite" anything except in airport lounges, flights and sometimes hotels š

That was the Original Gay Thailand source of info.... I met him once at a party in Balcony, I went especially to see him and thank him for all the work he put into the site and keeping maps up to date. He seemed shocked that he was having that much influence over people traveling to Thailand..... the internet was still in its infancy.

I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times.... I don't mind them asking for guys ID's, but some of the girls at reception (it's on a high floor) give you sarcastic looks, but there's straight guys bringing girls, so don't pay any attention to them. There is a doorman at the main entrance that depending on the time of day, and if he's there... you might be able to go straight to your room, at your own risk, in case there's a problem with the guy. They require that the person has a Colombian ID usually original, they can be real bitchy if the guy only has his electronic one and won't accept a photo of their ID in most cases., or if they are from Venezuela with no Colombian ID, and no passport showing they are in Colombia legally with their entry stamp, won't allow them in. The latter happened to me and we had to search for a sex motel, what a pain in the ass because on subsequent trips I took that same guy to my airbnb and the security guys accepted his Venezuelan ID. Females just like to complicate life, lol

Was never into those parties, even was I was young, ripped and friends that did go..... I don't tolerate large crowds, especially when they are screaming queens. I have a good friend that loves to go on the gay cruises.... š¤®

From Google: Why the USPS Loses Money The U.S. Postal Service isnāt a typical business. By law, it must behave like a business and a public utility at the same time. That creates built-in conflicts. Here are the biggest structural money-losers: 1. The Universal Service Obligation (USO) USPS must deliver to every address in America, no matter how remote, at the same price. Private carriers (UPS, FedEx) do not do that. They charge extra for rural, remote, or hard-to-access locations. USPS canāt opt out. That obligation costs billions a year. 2. Congress Controls Prices The Postal Service cannot independently raise postage prices like a normal business could. Price increases require regulatory approval and are tightly capped by law, meaning revenue cannot grow as fast as costs. 3. Declining First-Class Mail First-class mail (bills, letters, cards) used to be the profit engine of USPS. Now itās been collapsing for 20 years because of email, online bill-pay, digital everything. Packages help, but margins are lower and Amazon negotiates very good rates. 4. Competition is Allowed to Cherry-Pick UPS and FedEx only compete in profitable segments. USPS must handle the expensive categories they avoid. So USPS subsidizes a high-cost network without the higher-margin flexibility its competitors enjoy. 5. Congress-Imposed Financial Burdens This is the one that almost no other organization in the country faces. The infamous pre-funding mandate Passed in 2006, the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act forced USPS to: ā Pre-fund 75 years of future retiree health benefits Not pensions, but healthcare. And to pre-pay them in a 10-year window. No other federal agency or private company in the U.S. has ever been required to do this. For years, this mandate alone turned what would have been operational profits into billions in losses. Partially repealed in 2022, but the financial damage lingers. Would allowing USPS to offer banking services help? Absolutely. And itās not a new idea. Most countriesā postal systems offer banking: Japan Post Bank La Banque Postale (France) Royal Mail-backed banking (UK) Brazil, Italy, Germany⦠the list goes on These banks: generate steady revenue serve low-income and rural communities reduce dependence on taxpayer bailouts USPS used to offer simple banking from 1911 to 1967 and it was wildly successful. If USPS could again offer: bill payment small loans check cashing money transfers savings accounts ā¦it would create a stable, profitable revenue stream and reduce predatory lending in poor communities. Congress has blocked it under lobbying pressure. Would removing the pre-funding requirement help? It already did. When Congress finally rolled it back in 2022: USPS wiped away over $50 billion in paper losses Annual financial pressure dropped dramatically But the damage from 15 years of impossible obligations hasnāt fully evaporated. Removing it earlier would have changed the entire financial trajectory of the USPS. Bottom Line USPS loses money because Congress set it up with contradictory missions and financial handcuffs. If the Postal Service was allowed to: operate more like a business in pricing, drop the outrageous pre-funding mandate, expand into simple banking, and modernize revenue streams⦠ā¦it would likely be profitable or close to break-even. The problem isnāt incompetence. The problem is Congress.
