Yes, what were learning is that we’lll follow the US down the highway of oblivion, its what voters want apparently.
What I’d like to see is we petition the EU to join, and I’d like to see Canada and NZ do the same and any other nation thats wants to we need to be in world thats closer, not more blacanised. The US and UK can go off and do their own thing separately.
Fuck the US they’ve gone from bad (Regan) to worse (Trump)

- Comment on From Doge to Smoge, Peter Dutton’s Coalition is an eerie echo of Trump (and Musk’s) America 2 weeks ago:
40 years ago, all I did was vote Independent #1, now (last 20 years) I always vote Green and then preference independents until I run out.
It’s getting harder at the arse end of the ballot paper; One Nation, Palmer, Libs, Nats, Labor, Jacqui Lambi Party (here in Tassie) etal are all shitty choices. How to rank them becomes tricker.

Is the an increase demand issue (from.aroubd the world I mean, not jist Oz) , limited supply issue or both?
I can see the increasing demand issue needing capital to fund expansions that some companies might be wary of?
India seems to be the world’s pill maker, have we outsourced too much?
We seem to now have a dizzying arry of medications and an ever expanding list of drugs, is that some of the bottleneck ?
Maybe Hobart would be better placed spending billions on a drug manufacturing plant to onshore production, rather then those billions being used for the hit and giggle stadium and a basslink duplication ?

Nobody wants to hit the edge, spray all over your shins then bend over to wipe it up and slip in your own piss
This is why guys get married, to escape this hazaed… Night piss everywhere and ignore it, have the wife clean it up and complain endlessly.
This is also the leading cause of divorce apparently, according to the Wikipedia article on the matter.

You can make your own Lemmy iinstance and be your own censorship police, that’s the difference. Thats NOT an option on Reddit.
Hell, you don’t even have to be on Lemmy, Mastodon, any if the Bins etc can interact bacause they alo use ActivityPub.
There are plethora of instances people don’t federate with becase they don’t agree with them, that’s how it SHOULD be.
- Comment on Labor looks likely to win 2025 Election 1 month ago:
if voters are feeling economic pressures lifting
Only 1/3 of homeowners have a housing loan, they’ll be the ones benefiting directly. Investors will not pass on any savings to renters and those owning outright will see a savings hit, going backwards.
We’ve just starting seeing some minor impact on lowering housing prices making it easier for people to buy a place. For example
www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-31/…/104740132
That combined with a reduced immigration rate should see property prices at least stabilise at the stupid levels they’re at now, rather then keep increasing and making it worse.
Cheaper interest rates might give a small short term sugar hit to a few but cheap interest rates are a sign of structural and dysfunctional failure, they allow people to do stupid shit they should not, like constantly bid up housing prices. We have loose lending laws, as the IMF has pointed out for years, compounding the problem and a buch of other dunmb shit like first home owners grants all making it worse.
We have a planet being destroyed before our eyes and we’re getting a nation of fools electing donkeys. Nothing new under the sun there though.

- Comment on Anon shares how they survive 2 months ago:
Am an Australian guy starting work in the mid 80s
Worked washing dishes from 16 part time for comoc book money when it was laughed at, realsied work wasn’t for me, got a labouring job that paid ok and was away from home 5 days a week with food and accommodation paid for by my employer, just stayed at my parents for 2 days a week, chipped in with a small amount they asked for, had a an old cheap motobike to het aroibd, nevertheless owned a car, too expensive. Saved heaps but not paid much, 12 months in I upgrade to a fly in fly out job on triple the wage, much the same work, employer also happy to pay for all tertiary education expenses for remote study, 2 weeks on, 1 week off, stay at hone with parents, seme deal, go to work for a fortnight, take $10 come home with $5 becase everything is paid for. Nothing but study and work, seems hard. Don’t drink or smoke so no expenses really aside from the occasional snickers bar. Other workers come back and stay for the week at Sheraton and get hookers, go to the Casino, , looks like loads of fun to a 20 something but they come back to work broke. All the while i am nerding out on financial newspapers and putting all my savings in the stock market… Retire at 35, debt free, modest house, no mortgage, fast foward, same frugal habits, am 57 and investments have balloned ridiculously. Am a NEET, or retired, or a drag on society, depends how u look at it I guess
