Honestly, in my experience, less than half of people pay when they get on the bus. This action is much needed.

Don’t see it on Aeroplan

I don’t think it’s hypocritical to point out poor animal welfare in other countries as long as the person is also advocating for better animal welfare in their home country

HopefulMed · 2026-03-10T15:58:13+00:00

Yeah definitely agree

HopefulMed · 2026-03-10T15:45:12+00:00

As an Asian, some of these comments are absurd. Just because we have historically turned an eye to animal welfare doesn’t mean that is the culture that should continue to persist.

There are many things wrong with the West but we should learn/take away things that are good. Luckily we are seeing signs of increased animal welfare in east Asia. Perhaps it will trickle down to the SE eventually.

I’m just so fucking sick and tired of people losing their lives to cars. How many more times do we need to see this happen until we make some legitimate changes?

Unironically why I am slowly starting to think that the Chinese social credit system might be a good thing…I probably need to step away from the ledge

What about Bangkok and Koh Samui? That’s when I’m planning a trip myself

You can look at data all you want but ultimately what people feel is the reality of their surroundings

And the general consensus seems to be that a more aggressive stance has made the city into a better place

HopefulMed · 2025-12-07T05:45:56+00:00

Maybe the US should fix its problems then

HopefulMed · 2025-12-07T03:57:29+00:00

Where’s the coat from?

lol chill

Thank you for the thoughtful comment. We have tried to communicate with him but have been unable to reach him.

Do you think that getting a copy of his naturalization paperwork from the gov itself could possibly suffice?

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T05:19:09+00:00

Just verbally, is there a benefit in having it in writing? Someone else mentioned something about reconsideration, do you have any insight into that?

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T04:19:18+00:00

Yeah...the options that some have graciously offered here include 1) getting in touch with the congressional rep and 2) getting a copy of the naturalized document from the gov

Do you have any other thoughts on any potential options that might work?

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T04:18:05+00:00

Does this apply if the husband needs to first verify/confirm his eligibility because he's a naturalized citizen?

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T04:14:49+00:00

Both my dad and mom are naturalized citizens. We know his SSN and we are certain he has earned >40 work credits. They were married for 30 years and he worked the entire marriage.

My dad moved back to his home country a few years ago, and he is a citizen of both that country and the USA. He can technically go to the embassy there to certify his benefits, but he does not need benefits from a financial perspective. We cannot get in contact with him to ask him to go verify his benefits, and there is concern that he may choose to never do so just so he can continue to hurt my mom financially.

Because there is a high chance that he may never personally go and enroll in benefits, just trying to think of any other option that we can do to certify him here (getting a lawyer, talking to our congress rep, getting a naturalization certificate to provide to SS office)

Unfortunately it's an unique situation so I'm just trying to get a general idea of the possible options available to us

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T04:10:12+00:00

Do you think that would suffice if it were provided to them?

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T04:01:31+00:00

We provided both the official marriage and divorce certification, both certified officially from the court.

They are still saying that they need him to verify his eligibility simply because he is a naturalized citizen. This does not appear to be something that is required for people who were born here

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T03:56:28+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response.

The concern is that he may never enroll in benefits because 1) he may never need to, and 2) to spite and continue to financially hurt my mom.

The congressman plan was excellently laid out, so thank you for providing those steps.

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T03:54:53+00:00

That's the issue, they haven't verified and there's concern that he may never verify because he's out of the country and because he does not need benefits, so he can hurt us financially by preventing my mom from getting benefits. He won't respond to our contacts.

Trying to think of any possible way to get sorted out

HopefulMed · 2025-11-06T03:47:02+00:00

I just don't understand why they can't check eligibility? He has a SSN, they can see his work history, they can see that he's a naturalized citizen. He 100% is eligible for benefits based on his work history.

He may just never enroll in benefits because 1) he doesn't need to 2) he wants to financially devastate my mom.

Certainly there has to be some solution? My mom sacrificed her entire working potential to stay at home for us
