The problem isn't 'the church,' it's imperialism intentionally underdeveloping Africa. Anyone talking about population control in Africa without talking about Africa's development is loving racist.

I’m getting bored of stringing you along so all I’ll say is that you could be spending your time and mental energy on more productive things as pertains to the subject of climate change. The material reality we’re facing is so enormously hosed that going after someone like David Attenborough is a complete and utter waste of time.

Dimebag posted:So tunnels are not a viable option? One of the previous proposals suggested just loving tunnelling straight from Sydney Central to Woy Woy to avoid all the problems involved in getting out of Sydney and around the Hawkesbury. The engineering challenges for high speed rail in Australia aren't insurmountable but they are quite expensive. The only reason to do a new study is tradition. Every government does one, and every government finds it'll cost a lot of money and may not provide enough of a return to society.

The engineering challenges for high speed rail in Australia aren't insurmountable but they are quite expensive. It's incredibly frustrating, especially since I'd always heard growing up in the mountains the rumours, true or not that the US offered to run a tunnel from the foot of the mountains to Lithgow for munitions during WWII. Also surely if handled correctly like the NBN should have been where we should have been built from the cities out so you don't build lost revenue poo poo like setting up Armidale first. You'd run the Melb-Can-Syd leg first (Melb-Syd being the 2nd business air route in the world) the business case should be there to build it but welp are Qantas so you can't even start there and expand. Not to mention if you made central coast to Syd a 20 minute train trip you start to take the pressure off the outer rim suburbs and inner city living looses its appeal when you can have space and not take more than 70 minutes to get into town. I guess what I am saying is Shorten needs to go full Xi and just get poo poo done. Nationalise everthing!

When faced between a tax cut and a visionary piece of infrastructure, cuts will win every time. We can barely roll out a nobrainer 21st century telco network , an actual modern transport network? gently caress that, I'd have to pay tax. And we still dont have a dual carriageway over the blue mountains. I now dream of a tunnel to Woy Woy, hopefully emerging in Woy Woy South so nothing of value would be lost.

Not to mention TunnelCo or whatever entity it inevitibly gets spun into wont be directly profitable for decades. Sure, it will probably bring pervasive social and economic benefits wherever it goes, but TunnelCo wont be getting any of that so the project is no good.

We didn't 'barely' roll out poo poo There are vast swaths of the NBN that aren't fit for purpose and a huge amount still isn't built, despite the libs claiming it would be done by next year. The ALP will be able to fix the FTTC stuff fairly easily, but the VDSL and HFC based segments of the network may as well have not been done.

My internet used to go out whenever it rained. NBN came along to a point up the street. Still goes out frequently when it rains. Roughly every year it will just go bad and start dropping out for hours at a time randomly, multiple times a day. When you finally get through restarting the modem and all that other stuff on the tech help lines, eventually a technician will be booked. Apparently telstra owns the line though so they always have to get them to come out, and eventually they do, and do... something, somewhere. The problem is normally resolved at this point for a year or so. NBN was meant to fix this kind of poo poo though, but I've had to deal with it since 2006 and i've just resigned myself to lovely internet.

I was stuck with adsl 1 before the nbn so I appreciate the huge speed boost, but ironically I can now download games much quicker but actually playing online is even spottier than it used to be. I can only imagine how bad things would be if Labor hadn't got the ball rolling to begin with.

Granted, I've only been on the basic NBN tier but my speeds didn't change significantly from the ADSL2+ to NBN VDSL, still varying from between 2 to 8mbps which is about the same I got before.

I'm still on ADSL, and needed to call in seven (7) faults before it was finally properly waterproofed. To quote two separate technicians on two separate occasions. "it's worse than you can possibly imagine" and "it's full, it's just fucken' full of water"

Well remember when Campbell Newman told Julia Gillard to gently caress off because Brisbane will build its OWN NBN. Years later a large section of the inner city is TPG exclusive. All apartment blocks in some inner suburbs, you can only pick TPG because they did a deal with old Camps back in the day to build Fibre to the Basement for apartments in Brisbane. The result is you can't choose an ISP if you live in one of these areas. It would be about that bad.

Also good luck with any troubleshooting because theres a lot of places things can go wrong, your isp and nbn co won't work together and the whole project is underfunded.

I saw this article, but I had to dig around to find the actual Saxo 2019 predictions. Spoiler It's internal fluff to promote their investment bank.quote:The debt-fuelled surge in Aussie house prices has led to one the longest rallies in the world, with prices gaining a monstrous 6,556% (373% after adjusting for inflation) since 1961. The “Australian Dream” was financed through an epic accumulation of debt as interest rates collapsed, with household debt standing at 189% of disposable income. I'm guessing the takeaway from this is "Stop investigating banks in Australia or in the worst case it'll cost you $10,000 / person to get out of it". I also like how they use phrases like "government filibusters" when they could have used "inaction" or some other non-seppo phrase. BTW, to give you an idea of their position, here is one of their worst case scenarios from 2018, thinking that somehow those dreaded millenials will outvote the rest of the population, and install an actual left-wing Democratic party in the US. quote:US Voters go Hard left in 2018 election
