Macquarie Bank is that capitalist construction that has no morals, no care for the harm it does - UK water for example, and its taxable structure is outrageous. This is what legislation should do - stop these firms from the pure harm they do.

On top of which there's no discount coupon. Black Fri I guess.

What shit's me is that local AUD prices are double the USD price when the FX rate is a third dearer. Local markups are excessive.

Why can't one purchase Hifiman headphones from the US when they ship to CA, MX, UK, EU. If you go to the exploiters website, Amazon, Hifiman add USD$220 for delivery and then you still have to pay local taxes.

JB Pritzker would make a better US President for the Democrats than Newsom. The former is genuine, the later merely appears to be so.

Let me gain a Quisling's acceptance by destroying my people. And when I've done that, and there's no more use for me, the GOP will turn on me quicker than a snake.

Gaza barely reported on now. A news media that did not honestly report the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. And now with a ceasefire that isn't, the Israeli's continue daily to murder more Palestinians. It hasn't stopped. Why let Palestine be taken over by a nation of incessant genocidal maniacs.

If you criticise the NYT for its Right wing apologia, its support for corporate elites and the consequential downfall of democracy, - the NYT grabs your singular identification (the unique config of apps, serial numbers you have) call you a robot and ban you. The NYT can't handle the criticism.

Subtle, maybe. Necessary => absolutely.

"And you have the choice to not use it beyond your choices." Could you be somewhat more specific in explaining what is meant by "...to not use it beyond your choices." I'm not the brightest. Thanks.

Slippery slope argument. That's the problem with Baader Meinhof. It's the innocent's that get hurt. If we could have a perfect RBF with a line drawn without slippery slope. We'd save our society.

Pretty glad File411 ‪@file411.bsky.social‬ is back. Cause without receipts there is no truth, no substance.

Is that the first time PHON at 11.3% outvoted The Greens? Is eastern section of your electorate where the RW are? I guess any further east and it would be a Nationals seat? When I saw the thrombolites at Lake Clifton felt like going back to the dawn of time. (Guess you may feel that way politically)

The Second British Invasion: how royal cronies and the gas debacle took Australia for billions - Michael West Senate Estimates confirmed last month that BG Group's gas bonanza has delivered diddly-squat to Australia in tax - despite claims it would contribute "more than $1 billion"

Exactly, the replacement party. ALP Logic: "We would love to reform, but if we did RW MSM would hurt us and you. So we can't but vote for us anyhow cause we want reform but won't do it. Makes us better than the LNP"

Here's the corruption why Rudd got shafted

The alts for rump of Left wing voters? If vote Greens, and the candidate doesn't win - Labor does. Punish Labor with LNP vote chopping off your head to spite your face, no. This is the first time I want my vote to die, not act contingently, preferentially, if #1 candidate doesn't win.

What to do?

Winnowing the chaff from the wheat.

Tesla board is ~stacked with Musk's family, friends. Whether that is sufficient to win/push over rest of the board's support one does not know. Any other CEO who impacted sales in that manner would be terminated. When my purchase for an EV arises will certainly never buy anything Musk associated.

Many women are economically forced to delay children to later in life. What percentage of female income earners below forty are not affected by interest rates, high house prices, job security? It's easy to say it's a natural event but square it with the difficulty of economic context.

Yeah, I've only got 21 million, Pelosi made around 120 million in office, so I still have a lot to learn.

It demonstrates Labor/Albanese were never serious about the NACC. Labor's agreement was with the LNP - to satisfy and cover both their respective backsides, an 'in name only' commission. No teeth - compromised by structure. It was nothing more than a self-serving election announcement, in form only.

NZ is ahead of Australia on most things.

That is exactly what capitalism has become, mere entitlement, the irony of begging and nothing to do with innovation, competition, efficiency.

Now you can why state investor dispute resolution was nothing but public theft.

Whoever let Kaiser into Nixon's office should have been shot. Nixon was initially against private healthcare but was talked around.

I recall an article on co-operative housing/tenements in 1930's era Chicago (perhaps in The Social Shaping of Technology?) where communal kitchens and laundries were introduced. It was described as 'communist' then and hastily pulled down. If so, the US controlling power was always anti-community.

If ever there were a few thousand, (clean,) unused vibrators/dildos - an underarm lob at ICE would let them know exactly what is thought of them. And what they can do with themselves.

Poll

NATO Secretary General Rutte, Bucharest 6/11 said below China along with Russia et al are preparing for long term confrontation.

Is the US/West misrepresenting China or being realistic?

1. The West falsely creates China into a potential enemy

2. China is a real enemy of the West

£12.70 is the minimum hourly wage.

You're somewhat off key and a bit too illogical for me. Good day to you.

Rupert Murdoch absolutely disagrees with you. He's had one of those, "This has been the most humbling day of my life" moments - several times. A Code of Conduct is great for school uniforms but little use for anything else.

Hmmm hope so - apart from ⬇️ (excuse obtaining info from AI)

Self-regulation is just an utter sham.
