Grover Cleveland later made it an official national holiday in 1894 after the Pullman strikes. He selected the September date to put distance between the socialist May Day protests and the concessions he was making to the Labor movement.

- Comment on Segal’s speech code meets the law: Justice Fagan wrecks Canberra’s Israel exception 2 weeks ago:
Fagan cited Pew polling showing 74 per cent of Australians unfavourable towards Israel, rising to 79 per cent this year, and inferred a “humanitarian reaction to Israel’s genocide of the Gazans”. A definition that tars four in five Australians is not detecting hatred.
It is outlawing majority opinion.
Antisemitism, Fagan said, is simply “hostility to Jews for their Jewishness”. It is real, repugnant and must be confronted. Israel is a foreign state. Zionism is a political ideology. Neither is entitled to immunity from condemnation.
Protecting Jewish Australians is essential. Protecting a foreign government from criticism is not.

With a fast compaction rate unrivaled by other side loader refuse trucks and the industry’s strongest frame-mounted arm — with an impressive reach of 12 feet — this truck is a powerful addition to your fleet. The Sidewinder combines the convenience of automated loading with the ability to maneuver in tight spaces to create an ultra-tough, overbuilt side-loading machine.
At the end of the day, the convenient features of the Sidewinder XTR are even more evident. Garbage truck operators appreciate the convenience of being able to easily clean out behind the RAM with the widest opening access and largest clean-out sump in the waste-management industry. Add to that the standard rear-view camera and a two-year cylinder warranty, and you can see why the Sidewinder XTR has a solid grip on the competition.

Everyone should check out Need for Speed: Underground 2 Last Breath. This is a completely modded version including high resolution texture replacement while keeping the vanilla look of the game but increases the quality along with an upscaled HUD.

- Comment on [Discussion] What level of proportional representation is desirable? 5 months ago:
Yes. The upper house is supposed to be proportional and yet it suffers from the same unbalanced outcomes. Each state currently has the same number of senators despite population differences. This results in smaller states being overrepresented while larger states are underrepresented. Both Tassie and Victoria have 12 senators, yet a Tasmanian senator represents ~34,000 voters, while a Vic senator represents ~380,000, once again making a lightly populated state’s vote ten times more valuable than a heavily populated one.
- Comment on [Discussion] What level of proportional representation is desirable? 5 months ago:
I would love to see proportional representation in the lower house. The answer on how to solve issues with democracy usually are solved by adding more democracy.
Last election, the Nationals received only 3.6% of the popular vote. Despite this low vote, it won ten seats, and that’s because Nationals voters are highly concentrated in a few low population rural seats, where there are fewer people controlling larger portions of land.
The Greens, by contrast, won 12% of the popular vote but only won 4 lower house seats. That’s because Greens voters, although most heavily concentrated in inner-urban seats, and are much more uniformly spread across the country.
To put it another way, Nationals won 52,000 votes per seat as compared to 448,000 votes per seat for the Greens.
Is that reflective of strong democratic values? I don’t think it is.

It was always a marketing gimmick, a cynical opportunistic fabrication developed by ad men using the language of the civil rights era to sell consumer electronics, using the profits to shamelessly supply capital to those who work to undo the gains won by the movements they exploit.

I’m really not sure about Australia. If you live up north you barely ever even wear shoes.if you live on a farm you better kick off those filthy gummies before you step in the house. If you’re a tradie, you’d better kick off those filthy Blundstones before you walk in. If you live in the suburbs, it’s a coin flip either way.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 7 months ago:
Sure a per capita (18+) comparison would be more useful than NET expenditure? It might be lower but there are too many possible variables that aren’t accounted for.
For example the graph below seems to indicate younger audiences drink dramatically less beer and wine than older generations, but dramatically more Hard Seltzers.

- Comment on Meta - There's Levels To This Shit 9 months ago:
The main value of sewerage monitoring is overflow prevention. Utilities are fined for every litre of sewage that spills so the operators have to install monitoring to aid with blockage detection and prevention and spill response times.
The secondary benefit is for recycling wastewater, which makes up the vast majority of all sewage. Monitoring it helps with treatment to create additional drinking water without the need for additional storages and reducing reliance increasingly unreliable rainfall.
