I thought Australia was supposed to be the chud nation of the southern hemisphere. How'd they get it right this time?

If they had hosed up the response to this the way they hosed up the response to the bushfires, it would have brought down the PM if not the government itself (the same applies to the NSW government and premier).

The choice was pretty much between facilitating the suggestions of the experts and losing power.

Listening to the experts also means that from day 1 Aussies have been told their way of life will be changed for 6 months or more so there's not the same expectation that all restrictions should be lifted now that we've flattened the curve.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/26/politics/stimulus-check-coronavirus-letter-donald-trump/index.html

quote:

The letter reads, in part, "We are fully committed to ensuring that you and your family have the support you need to get through this time," and notifies the recipient exactly how much they would receive and how. On the other side of the letter is a translated Spanish version of the same text.

Trump goes on to thank Congress for working with his administration in passing the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), "which I proudly signed into law."

CNN has spoken with recipients in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland who have received the letters.
During Friday's White House briefing, Trump said the act required the government to "send out a notice of what benefits Americans are receiving; to fulfill the requirement, the Treasury Department is mailing a letter to me."

In the legislation there is a section saying "Not later than 15 days after the date on which the (Treasury) Secretary distributed any payment to an eligible taxpayer pursuant to this subsection, notice shall be sent by mail to such taxpayer's last known address. Such notice shall indicate the method by which such payment was made, the amount of such payment, and a phone number for the appropriate point of contact at the Internal Revenue Service to report any failure to receive such payment."

Absolutely amazing to me how Bill Gates, whose evil intentions were a punchline throughout the 90s (Tim Robbins played him as a cutthroat, devious murderer in classic 2001 hacker thriller Antitrust), managed to leave the public eye and start laundering money through his foundation just long enough to fully rehab his image, in spite of being a known Epstein associate

On a personal level it's way more progressive than North America. Way better workers rights, public transport (in Melbourne at least), social services, and people actually treat each other like human beings. As long as you're white of course.

bill gates probably more or less tried to do things that he thought were good but because he is so insanely rich his unvetted fuckups became policy gospel and hosed up a bunch of schools and poo poo, which is why no one but the workers together should be that rich

I remember this was a patent put out maybe 4-5 years ago as a way to fit even more seats into a plane, the arrangement lets you squeeze out an extra inch or two from each row. I also remember at the time the poo poo head company that patented it being quoted as saying they would never in a million years actually subject passengers to it, they were just locking it away from other less scrupulous companies.

i wouldn't lump heaven's gate in with ruby ridge / waco. it def captured the public's imagination and attention in the same way, but ufo cults didn't have their own tim mcveigh, and you can draw a straight line between the feds backing off the christian patriot movement because of mcveigh and the emboldened right wing militia movement we see today

If you look into Heaven's Gate beliefs, you'll see that it was deeply steeped in literal interpretation of the Book of Revelation, only with some aliens thrown in. Last Podcast On The Left did a pretty great series about this.

Yes, North America is a low bar. I'm from the most progressive city supposedly, Vancouver, which is mega lib at best and getting significantly more fascist in time since regular people can't live there anymore. Cost of living is the same as Sydney yet many people make $5 less per hour than Australia's $19.49 minimum wage. I had to own a car in Vancouver, don't in Melbourne. In Vancouver I had no hope of retiring, in Melbourne my employer pays for my retirement on top of $10 more per hour and a month of paid vacation.
