Americar: The Dinosaur Island Of Carnivorous Cars Mad-Maxistan

Interesting juxtaposition of 2 articles about Utes and SUVs

Australia’s sales of large vehicles increasingly contributing to rising emissions.

A lack of environmental focus favours fossil fuels/hinders electric vehicle development

Thank you for that

I live in Goldstein

It’s also an issue in our body corporate too - the bullying and freezing out of so called dissenters

The inversion of the usual model where owners and voters are in charge - not representatives or management in both models

Mainstream media - agents from Block 4 of the Propaganda Unit, decided to censor one of Australia's most respected journalists

Crikey - one of Australia's independent media organisations, decided to be transparent - because we all need transparency to be informed

Our politicians come with agendas - NOT AGENDAS VOTERS VOTED ON

IDEOLOGY, the CORPORATE AGENDA .. shady people behind the scenes

Could be just a placeholder for the summer break in order to keep living handsomely off the public teat!

He owes Poooorlean a steak from her pop-up field kitchen in her Senate Office - so we’re likely to hear more about that I think!

I didn’t plan my appointment with Black Friday in mind but just happened to have an appointment today to renew my glasses prescription - and it turned out to be Black Friday!!

I’m getting nicely discounted glasses now!

Consumers, unwittingly CONNED by fossil fuel companies and government into being party to illegal oil and fuelling an aggressor state - Russia

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐒?

Party politics, a duopoly running a corporate agenda of 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐅𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 and an 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘

Voters need and want SOLUTIONS

Confirming the deep, unsettling suspicions many Australians have of Marles, his deep, secretive involvement in AUKUS and the disturbing thinking of many that he particularly, represents a move within the duopoly, towards a war.

Party IDEOLOGY on steroids - and Australians don't like it

Climate warming

Less Australians polling that they believe climate change is caused by human activity

We're in summer, soon to face the high potential of catastrophic floods and bushfires - and the tail of personal consequences of human induced climate change

And there in one headline is a summary of Amerika’s problem …

The long history of facilitating Donald Duck to the point of sedition while everybody continues to turn away and give a free pass

Now we have a Diktator in Amerika

A problem for Amerikans, a huge issue for the globe and allies

Voters do!

But not a "secret" enquiry that is only composed of Duopoly politicians guaranteeing a pre-determined outcome

Breath-taking to think Albanese thinks this will fly in the electorate

Which basically is to say that voters have no thoughts about what a good country looks like

Voting blank .. up for the highest bidder

Diktators ALWAYS overreach and Donald Duck has over-reached

From a global perspective excuse us all if we are laughing

From an internal perspective - Amerikans, it's time to impeach and jail this senile stupid little man

Surely

Don't be like Georgia and again facilitate his madness, DO SOMETHING

It’s all about power for the sake of power and keeping that power firmly inside a duopoly that imposes IDEOLOGY and not SOLUTIONS

Voters trapping themselves in a cycle of low expectations, mediocrity and the status quo because politicians insist

And voters have no alternative vision

'I will not let these people here judge me': Pauline Hanson suspended from Senate 'I will not let these people here judge me': Pauline Hanson suspended from Senate

Listen to Pooorlean after being expelled from the Senate for 7 days for an appalling bigoted, racist stunt on the Senate floor with the burka

Unable to accept consequences and the judgement of her peers, a commentary on her total lack of respect for the Senate

Leg like that actually gets women killed in Afghanistan!

But I guess when one is appropriating another's culture and parodying it for attention, one doesn't consider the wider consequences of one's bigotry, racism and immaturity

My God!

It's one thing for Amerika to systemically make themselves increasingly unhealthy and vulnerable to diseases / pandemics ..

It's another thing entirely to escalate the threat of pandemic globally!

Climate warming

Reality not matching beliefs in Australia

Summer promises it's all again - cyclones, property destruction, fires, drought, severe weather events - and direct consequences

But less believe climate change is caused by human activity

Pooorlean's dinner with Barnaby in a pop-up restaurant in Pooorlean's Senate office has sparked interest in Melbourne's newspaper, The Age - but not for what you think!

The Age asks the heavy questions of the day ...

Interesting meal that Pooorlean cooked for Barnaby in her Senate office

Interesting to see on the news tonight that people I the Nationals are warning Barnaby that playing around with Poooorlean usually leads to grief

I'm expecting grief myself!

Why it is crucial for voters to utterly destroy the duopoly and completely rebuild our body politic to hose out the embedded connections with group- think and entrenched, frankly, corruption

We all need to go local, go community and find champions willing to represent solutions
