What if the world's 5th (?) richest country just made it so that nobody living there had to worry about being able to afford to live? It's not that much money per person per year, no need to means test it really. Really seems like the bare minimum for a functional society, if you can't even manage that what's the point of having all that cash?

What if the measurements of richest country were a bunch of bullshit op

Eh I mean kinda but it's not like the country as a whole lacks wealth regardless of where we fall on any rankings, be they cromulent or not. We absolutely could provide for everyone, we just don't because the perfect, golden people who went to Eton must have more and us plebs are a bunch of workshy chancers.

The narrative seems ingrained that there's 'not enough to go round,' and yet the same people who say that are also absolutely fine with a palace full of inbred fucks wearing stupid bejewelled hats that could fund the NHS for a year, and Sir Alan Sugar as an entire concept.

E: And App Mancock giving his pub landlord 40 million for PPE that never materialised, but the everyone forgiving him as soon as he sticks a kangaroo dick in his mouth. I've had far more dicks in my mouth than he has, where's my loving money?

The movies forum understands and accepts SMG. Its the casual visitor that doesn't. The type of poster that turns up to say "just watched the new Marvel movie. It was really good!".

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
Philippides cars with runners and take us to the finish line.

Sometimes you have to take a car because you ate a bunch of rotten apples and need to beat the guy running entirely on strychnine and brandy.

"she told officials she used a car and finished the race "in a non-competitive way".


This is an excellent callback to the 1904 marathon, where:

- one runner dropped out after 9 miles, hopped in a car to head to the finish line, and then decided to get back into the race and pretend he'd won (he claimed this was a practical joke, but went through with the medal ceremony anyway)
- the actual winner dosed himself up on rat poison as a stimulant, started hallucinating near the finish line, and was carried to victory by his trainer
- another runner wandered off-course, started scrumping apples which gave him a stomach-ache, and started napping (then woke up and came in fourth)
- another runner was chased a mile off-course by a pack of stray dogs

EDIT: dammit, beaten

The same year's Tour de France had some similar train rides. So many in fact that the guy who finished 5th was named winner (despite having also been warned for taking a car). And brandy was a regular into the '60s. Noble sport

As was dropping a sugar cube with cocaine on it onto the riders tongue from the team car.

Or riding through villages where the villagers would ambush and beat the other riders so their local guy could get past.

All without any gears on the bike. First 50 years of the tour was wild.

Well yeah that one is still owned by News Corp and completely separate in terms of programming.

There is some cooperation between Foxtel (the aus parent company) and Sky/Comcast but it's more corporate deals and such.

A buddy of mine who loves cycling went and did one stage of the TdF. Apparently it was the most gruelling experience of his life and he was spontaneously weeping for ages afterwards. Even with the ridiculous amounts of EPO and whatnot, those dudes are pretty hardcore

Yeah Sky News Australia is explicitly Fox News for Australia. And given that Murdoch runs way more of the media there it makes it a real-information desert. The younger generations are thankfully more savvy but my aunt's generation have brain tarantulas.

Do you know offhand of any decent books on the earlier days of the Tour De France? This sounds pretty interesting.

There is a rumour I may or may not have heard that working with Foxtel the name of the company may or may not be a swearword due to how they may or may not work, theoretically.
