I doubt Foodora will do it, but builders are infamous for it.

Retail shops, especially computer shops, were great at doing the good old "Phoenix" trick, back before the GST came in. Most computer parts were charged around 22% sales tax, so the shop would sell the parts without putting the tax on them. Come the end of the financial year the company would immediately go out of business, only to return in the new financial year under a new name.

Image macros aren't going to help when my Aunty in Queensland is sharing macros along the lines of:

*picture of brown people queuing up somewhere*
BEFORE WE HELP THESE PEOPLE

*pictures of white farmers looking at drought blasted land (that they purchased and chose to work on)*
WE SHOULD HELP THESE PEOPLE

I'm assuming she then goes off to the shops and buys all foreign made goods because they're cheaper.

Yeah, there's an old fart who keeps on posting those macros made by a Facebook group called "Freedom of Speech Productions" who unsurprisingly hate Greenies, Lefties and surprisingly, anyone who hates on Trump.

For a mob saying they are for freedom of speech, they sure seem to be against those who have opposing views.

Stop negotiating with morons. Stop letting people who clearly have no loving idea about climate science dictate policy. Stop trying to find a compromise with people who are too stupid to realise renewables are in their best interests.

Kinda curious at what point we end up getting literal eco-terrorists. Clearly peaceful protesting and evidence saying "if we keep going down this path you are guaranteeing death for all of us" has done very little.

froglet, welcome to politics.

Turkish Lira is going down the drain, but in that article it mentioned that Argentina's interest rate is 45%.

Yes. 45%, not 4.5%.

Imagine the collective making GBS threads of pants if that happened in Australia. Western Sydney and South East/Western Melbourne would be brown for as far as the eye could see.

pre-WWII Australia definitely had some admiration for Hitler tbh. Like, Menzies was an open admirer of Hitler in the 1930s.

e: read this article and weep https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/22/if-you-oppose-reclaim-australia-remember-fascism-wasnt-always-a-freakshow

Adelaide/South Australia has a huge German community and there's a photo of a German social club in Adelaide in the 1930s celebrating Hitler's 50th birthday.

A lot of people don't know or want to remember that there was huge support for Hitler from most leaders of other nations before WWII. In most cases people who were against Hitler and Nazism like Winston Churchill were thought of being outsiders and war mongers.

God drat nation is going to poo poo, first Malcolm Roberts and his reality distortion field, then Lionhat doubling down on his sexist comments, now Fraser Anning with his maiden speech. Of course Malcolm will stay quiet over this, as he needs the votes of these fuckwits to get his bullshit agendas through the senate.

They should just call it the white boomer app and be done with.

Laughing at the old white boomer in my FB feed, who keeps on posting memes from "AUSSIE PRIDE" style FB pages. Today's one was "a new party being started, which includes Abbott, Hanson, Dick Smith and Bernardi." Then his boomer mates are putting in their selections, like Alan Jones and Anning. Christ.
