G-Spot Run posted:I guess it's good that that they maintain their own little language then as it is apparently very effective fuckwit signalling. LOL. I was going to say, it also goes a little bit further than immature lack of empathy, for the very smart 14 year olds have been reading their Ayn Rand bibles and swotting up on their Corporatism For Neoliberals (a fake textbook), and have the same fervour about zero sum game rational acting the way a couple of generations earlier would have discussed the finer points of Engels Principles of Communism (an actual book). Since, therefore only Rational Actors exist it follows that SJW's aren't demonstrating some form of altruism but appealing to reinforcements to come and destroy the noble and clever MRAs. But 'fuckwit signalling' is much shorter.

There is an entire vocabulary dedicated to othering political opponents so you can engage with them as an avatar of a concept rather than as an individual with a point. You don't have to listen to a soyboy spouting SJW virtue signalling, because their point is inherently invalid compared to a person saying "hey maybe you should not poo poo on trans people just for being trans".

A kind poster reminded me in PMs that I could use Skype to call Centrelink (long ago you couldn't use Skype to call those kinds of numbers) and I managed to fix everything up on a call that way. Thanks for all the replies. I have to say I've always had good experiences with the actual people that work at Centrelink, it's just all the systems in place that add unnecessary pain to the process.

MysticalMachineGun posted:UBI would absolutely remove the pension, so you could theoretically say super is no longer needed as well. People can just save for retirement under their own steam. That's kinda what I figured. JBP posted:I don't think so. Why would you scrap mandatory, "self funded" retirement for work? It's just asking for a UBI retirement class and a non ubi class (rich fatsos). Isn't that's pretty much what we have now anyway? Anyone that works in high paying jobs gets a super that can actually support them while everyone else is hosed. I would assume that any UBI would be high enough to live off through retirement and that anyone who manages to save enough during their working life would have a savings/investment income that would mean that they aren't getting the full UBI anyway. So that could help even out. But I do see your point, even with a UBI, if you aren't in a position to save money while you are working you get comparatively screwed when you retire. Maybe the UBI should have a built in super component (but this feels like it kinda defeats the whole simplicity of a UBI)? Or you just keep super but scrap all the tax concessions it gets? I just kinda figured that being able to scrap super would be a pretty big selling point to win over businesses (while also really pissing off the super industry )

Periphery posted:That's kinda what I figured. Without even thinking about the billions of dollars in super and the kind of nightmare creature that industry could become if pushed, I reckon UBI just wouldn't give people much bigger incomes to save anyway. It would stop people being on the bones of their arse you'd hope, but you're still working to top up you income. I suppose taking the guess work out of retirees claiming the pension or being self funded might do it, but I don't think taking away people's ability to earn super is a good thing since companies pay for it. You'd imagine UBI would relieve that super burden somewhat. My grand mental plan for super would be that the company contributes 20% for workers earning under 50k and it slides back to nothing mandatory as you reach a "worker" on idk say $500k

Ubi would guve the same no matter the age. Its the U. Any income would be taxed to pay for it. Wages, rents and profits. The preferenyial tax treatments for super would need to be lokked at. I imagine any payments from the fund would be taxed as income.

Yeah, it's probably not worth picking the fight with the super industry and pensioners when business seems to have mostly accepted it and pays for it. I do like your idea of super. One thing I've always thought about super is that a large % of it should just go into a government infrastructure fund that is used to fund nation building projects and pays out a pretty much guaranteed return like a government bond would. Essentially force it into generating assets for the whole community at the same time as paying for peoples retirement. Of course I haven't thought about the complexities and implications of that too much - beyond the obvious risk that all our politicians are giant idiots and will spend it on the worst possible poo poo.

The Before Times posted:so soy boy is the new 'cuck'? It's pretty new. I think it's more specific. The impression I get is that "soy boy" is a male who is subservient to feminists. Kept, if you like. Seeking a nod from them. But I've yet to see it IN REAL LIFE so who knows. The term might not take off.

Want an idea of how popular Dutton is? https://twitter.com/GhostWhoVotes/status/983605439236489216 Okay sure, but that includes a bunch of left-wing voters who obviously prefer Turnbull over the others. What if you remove them? https://twitter.com/GhostWhoVotes/status/983605722704314369 People tend to support the current leader because they're the leader. What if you take out Turnbull as an option, surely some of those Turnbull supporters would have Dutton as a second choice. https://twitter.com/GhostWhoVotes/status/983606172572835840

Doctor Spaceman posted:Want an idea of how popular Dutton is? For full context, the Guardian reports Someone Else as the most popular candidate behind Turnbull and Julie Bishop, or Bishop and Abbott if Turnbull is excluded: Also, Futuresight, I'm glad you got sorted. As with most things, actually getting to the person who can help is the hard part.

Periphery posted:(but this feels like it kinda defeats the whole simplicity of a UBI) UBI is not simple. It’s actually the complete opposite. You have to balance tax to pay for the system whilst maintaining a large working population. Then you need to actively promote working through the system to save on the large population that simply would not work. Read into the Finland model and the modifications they’ve made since its introduction. SMILLENNIALSMILLEN posted:That's an evil twist and then to brag about it like it isnt evil It’s a psychological trick. The long term tenant clearly wanted the property cheap and appeared to be happy to wait. The moment competition is introduced, the tenant bought it. The estate agent is just pointing out that he worked out how to benefit his client best; this is rule number 6 of being an estate agent in NSW.
