    Big Improvement In West Java Schools

    Really? I was led to believe that its local property taxes which mostly pay for it leading to significantly better schools in areas with higher property prices and therefore increasing the social divide.

    Trumponomics

    Shadrach I feel you parrot headlines on all subjects without understanding them. On DEI explain how it has been hijacked by so called white supremacists. Your description of DEI has no actual use in real life If 2 candidates then DEI automatically selects the one from a minority. Why should...

    Again you have not said what the meaning of DEI is and you have again implied that those against it are white nationalist movement. Hawk256 gave you a clear example of where someone was descrimated against by race because of DEI. So please....tell us how this is a white supremacists issue...

    Trumponomics

    You imply that anyone anti DEI policies is a white nationalist and therefore a racist. At Its core DEI policies are basing selection and given preference to certain races. Therefore DEI is at its core a racist policy. Please explain how it is not. Or explain what you mean by white...

    So please explain it to us. Explain how it's not a racist policy instead of just calling us the racists.

    Trumponomics

    Shadrach can you at least agree that a lot of USaid is misused and that at a minimum the system needed gutting and rebuilding? Here are some of the things that have been listed as part of USaid (according to the Whitehouse) $20 million for a "new Sesame Street show in Iraq" to $1.5 million...

    Amazon

    Anyone bought anything on Amazon recently? I just bought a wallet directly from a website in the US. Shipping cost was low and they sent it by post. It did take a month but the import duty was around 10% of the item cost. I checked Amazon and shipping and duty estimate was 120% of the item...

    Trumponomics

    Can you be more specific? Maybe you know more than ive read online as i know sources nowadays only give one side of the story. I for one knew that he was appointing musk as this so called DOGE head to cut government expenses. Seems like he has been very successfull at that. Next up is the...

    Trumponomics

    There is a long history of them. Trump did 220 in his first term but 50 so far this term. Bush, Clinton, other bush....all high numbers. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/executive-orders

    Trumponomics

    I dont think ive ever seen a politician do what they have said they would in such a short period of time. Yes hes behving like a king and he could well go off the rails at anytime. Yes the tariff thing seems stupid (although some how he came out of it well). But he 100% very clearly said this...

    Trumponomics

    He won the election (including the popular vote)and is doing pretty much exactly what he promised to do. You may disagree with it but it seems like the voting population of the US asked for this so why would all these majority senators and congressmen go against him? FYI I am not a trump fan...

    Trumponomics

    Americas debt is very high and cuts need to be made to try to get to a budget surplus. Closing the international aid agency seems like a necessary but unfortunate part of this. As for this...other asian countries got much more investment from Apple ($22bn in vietnam) and other phone...

    Jakarta dentists 2024, and general quality question

    A note on the materials that they use: My insurance (one of the worlds largest) refused some of my dental claims because of a better material was used for a crown. I presume they block this because that material costs more but here it was only a matter of 10 bucks more and my claim for several...

    Me too. Happy Freshy usually shows that they have digestives but after ordering they only have stock around half the time.

    Digitalizing Indonesian Government

    It's pretty normal for specialists to need a referral from a normal doctor first. Would happen in the NHS too

    Where to find Western groceries in Jakarta?

    I think m&s stopped all food in Indonesia now. I was at the plaza indo m&s and they have stopped all food inside. For digestives Grand Lucky and Ranch occasionally have mcvitiies in for a reasonable price. I find them better than the m&s ones which often seem to have melted and reformed into...

    Harry and Meagan

    Nothing like America and can we leave that country out of the conversation for once.

    Hello. What are some things I should know before coming to Jakarta?

    Yes if not cheaper. Grab and Gojek apps. Delivery is very very cheap but they tend to add 10%+ to the cost of the food items in the menu. Also most restaurants are happy to accept orders on whatsapp (this is vital app in everywhere in the world except America) and then you can pay the delivery...
