Regulation catches up to poo poo real fast if big industry feels threatened enough, although vaping seems to be the only big success story lately. Attempts to regulate wind farms and uber seem to have died in the rear end.

I think afterpay and zip pay are probably the only things keeping department stores and speciality retailers from posting massive losses right now, so you can expect the Liberals to gently caress it up some how.

People gaming the now defunct Target toy sale nearly destroyed them. People would gamble on what would be popular come Christmas, buy multiples of each and wait. They would break lay-buys of dud purchases, buy only what they wanted and then sold their extra on eBay to pay for Christmas. Lay-buy also takes up an insane amount of dead floor space, packaging and handling. Also, return processes can be a bit abrasive with Afterpay so people are more likely than not to keep what they buy compared to cash/card.

I didn't know these people existed, but these people sound like the absolute worst.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Christmas is hard for some people and if buying toys for your kids revolves atound lay-buy purchases it’s pretty easy to pick and exploit holes in the system.

The biggest problem is people who simply cancel their heavily discounted lay-buys.

It’s such a pointless attack anyway. Literally no ones opinion on her will be changed by this. Either “that uppity feminist mum PM” of course is awful and said it or “hey I like her and she’s right”

https://www.theage.com.au/world/asia/poverty-racked-indonesia-to-launch-pacific-focused-aid-program-20191021-p532ur.html

Here's an article about how Indonesia is planning to make a fund to help poorer nations in the Pacific, and help them. A good thing right?

Well the tag line of the article is "Indonesia is setting up an aid program worth about $60m a year to help Pacific island neighbours, even though it receives hundreds of millions in aid itself."

Basically, it's a "These uppity browns are trying to help others, whilst claiming poor themselves! Why are we giving them aid when they have cash to throw away on charitable funds for other nations?" Although I could be over-reaching and reading too much into it.

And about the Sky News Adern stuff: Sky and the Hun etc. gave up on trying to sway people long ago. It's all about preaching to the converted. And quantity. So they can say their opinion is backed by 5 bullshit articles printed every day, as opposed to the opposing view which might get 1 fact checked and well written article printed once somewhere they don't read it.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
A man who was stabbed in Sydney's east last year said "go on, f---ing stab me" then pulled the 20-centimetre blade out of his own abdomen and stabbed his assailant 11 times, fatally wounding him, court documents reveal.
