Angepain posted:The great threat to the middle class: A household earning 120k per year, over a decade, will get a mere £1,066,000 of their £1,200,000 income instead of £1,107,000. Both these people are in the top 10% of earners. The 33k earner (after some googling, an average of a median earner over 10 years including inflation) gets £4,040 less... over 10 years.

 Knight:  Victoria's Legislative Council has a bunch of microparties in it. Spooner:  The trade minister Don Farrell is tipped to visit China early next year. I don't know if there is a specific reason why he's gagged other than a general "don't upset China and spoil the deal" thing. Lethbridge:  Australia reacts to ‘disgraceful’ Sir Donald Bradman ‘cancel’ storm (news.com.au) "Australian leaders have hit back at the “absolutely disgraceful” public backlash surrounding Sir Donald Bradman’s historical letter."

We already have the Title 42 fight, and covid being simultaneously a minor threat that’s already over and also dangerous enough that we need to keep people out of the country. Reality is only permitted when it justifies their racism.

There is some consistency there, in that they believe that morally dirty (to them) people carry disease. Contamination of the nation through racial impurity and contamination of the body by a virus are linked by the moral character they share. It’s the same moral logic that led them all to think that they wouldn’t catch it, or that they would easily recover if they did: good people can’t be punished because they don’t deserve it, while people who are punished must have done something to deserve it.

Rall: “Regulated Capitalism”: a Fairy Tale Ted Rall posted:Capitalism is corrupt, but its defenders say it can be regulated to become less savage. History shows that the tendency of power and money to aggregate and be monopolized in fewer hands makes the dream of regulated capitalism impossible.

The real reason is obviously that millennials aren't into objectifying women and the ask round lovely practices of the business based on boobs.

Surprisingly accurate albeit he is on the wrong side of the platform at Circular Quay, trains going from the Airport via the City Circle go counter clockwise and end up on the city side platform. If you are aiming to go somewhere else other than CBD/Quay, you should get off at Central - which would also get you on a train that goes clockwise around the City Circle and ends up on the Quay side of the station. It really is a fantastic view on that side with the harbour and the Opera House / Ferries / Bridge all on display IF THE loving TRAINS ARE RUNNING AT ALL IN THIS loving CITY JFC they are unreliable as hell what with the unions and the state govt at each other's throats, lovely old and crumbling network outages, weather delays and just gently caress getting a train in Sydney. Melbourne trains and trams are far more reliable

As the fires were burning, facebook was telling us the powerful Greens party secretly prevented controlled burns, the paper was telling us there was more arson activity than usual, and the telly was telling us there have always been bushfires so nothing unusual was happening. The big fires were three years ago, anyway, well out of memory, and since then the radio's been telling us you can't cover baseload demand without a coal-fired 'baseload station'
