After all the merchant class should know their place is always below that of the nobility.

remember baby boomers started off small with a one bedroom flat paying 17 percent interest on the mortgage, and didnt overindulge with high life style of travel , , latest gadgets, entertainment, their entertainment was participating in local sports , community volunteer activities and the occasional cinema outing, they were savers not spenders. waited for car ownership and didnt waste money on the biggest and best .if had a bigger house or flat, they rented out a room to a lodger to help pay mortgage at 17 percent interest. they went without and worked hard in paid employment even if it was the jobs that alot of current centrelink recipients dont want. and paid taxes to prop up non contribuitng people. and didnt waste money on non productive and unhealthy vices... everything is relative, the system has just shifted lifestyle choices. and the governement probably may think that the baby boomers will donate their legacy to their offspring, so they wont be homeless. as they dont want to donate it to the government and nursing home is probably the next agenda of the government to take that away. alot of baby boomers have suffered too in other ways that are not seen.

So boomers bought their first home in 1989? So when the some of the youngest amongst them were 30? Riiiight. Also I wonder what wage growth and job security looked like in the 1980s. I love me some revisionist boomer history.

hooman posted:So boomers bought their first home in 1989? Wages in the late 80s plummeted after wage reform, however their jobs were very secure by today's standards of labour hire and casualisation. Most of the 1980's was a loving nice time to be a worker of any stripe. It's worth bearing in mind as well that the wage reforms of the 80's led to a decent number of other reforms that delivered better social security/industrial awards on the whole. It then hosed everyone up with single enterprise bargaining, under which many workers traded out all of their workplace privileges for an extra 1% in their pay, which is why we see wage depression even in EBAs since people have nothing left to horse trade (and many don't know how or want to have a fight).

The 17% interest thing is a loving load of poo poo because when people bought that debt, they were putting their hand up for 15% or at the lowest 13.5%. Yes 17% is a bit of a jump from that, but full time employment and stability meant you could weather these increases. Today you've got highly paid people fighting over 12 month contracts, poorly paid people getting a text message the morning of work telling them if they're getting paid this week and a middle class that has either fallen away or become the rent lords thanks to the variable loans they bought at 13-15% in the 80's loving PLUMMETING in the 1990's meaning they paid off loans in record time and had a fuckload of equity available. Anyway boomers cn eat poo poo etc, they're a pack of fat old liars and we should kill them all.

Most of the 1980's was a loving nice time to be a worker of any stripe. This. I don't know how many of you have been on a bargaining team, but it's pretty loving clear from day 1 that unless you're rocking huge densities, (>30%, which is AF rare outside of pockets of the public sector, construction, maybe maritime?) , the employer holds all of the cards. The Commission is not worker-friendly and as we've recently seen has become increasingly stacked with industry figures. Businesses regularly bring union busting lawyers and peak body representatives to the table, who will do anything they can to attack the union staff on your side of the table - increasingly via litigation - if they put a foot wrong. Abetz and then Cash refused to even come to the table for most of the last two govts, and even now I don't think the CPSU have gotten an agreement in since 2014. And then you have union drama to deal with. Many unions (SDA, AWU, CSA) have been criticised for signing agreements that they could have held out on based on density/union power. Several unions have the same daft left/right wing schisms that plague progressive parties. National unions tend to have a NSW faction that, thanks to dumb gently caress NSW exceptionalism, gently caress everything for everyone on the reg. So yeah, bargaining is like running backwards naked in a corn field and the biggest problem with Shorten is he's not going to loving change a thing.

For something a little more Perth flavoured I present the town that doesn't want a maccas built because it would ruin the vibe currently provided by the car park. The reason it is getting turned into a maccas is so the guy who restored the historic pub - after they fought hard to not have it rebuilt instead - can get some of the money he spent restoring it back.

Man if you're going to make that argument, make it because there's a great late night burger joint literally across the road (Alfreds) that's a Perth institution and somewhat deserves to be protected.

Sure houses are two or three times more expensive than they were in the 90s and lots of people can't even afford a deposit, and sure the increase in house price entirely counters the lower interest rates, and sure the inevitable increase in interest rates would wipe out a a lot of people but, umm, loving milennials right?

Also while saving is important, no kidding that some people will go on holidays instead of saving for a house. 30 years ago, the cost of an international holiday would be a significant chunk of a house deposit. Now it's a small fraction of what you'd need.

I hope they see large numbers of customers moving to smaller banks and credit unions. NAB and poo poo fund them obviously, but smaller banks and credit unions are already cheaper and would maintain their current rates in an effort to get a lot of business. I use ME and highly recommend them.

I spent my 20s renting a room in a sharehouse and never travelling except for work to afford the deposit on a 1 bedroom flat. There's people in that position now being told to buy a rental property 4 hours drive away and continue living in a sharehouse as a white collar professional in their 30s. I'd gladly take the higher interest rate if the house price was the same relative to income.
