a 50 year mortgage is actually a great solution to the housing crisis because instead of giving your landlord $3000/mo for the rest of your life you are giving it to a bank PLUS interest

Caught a train to a friend's for their kids first birthday today, then went to another friends housewarming for the evening and then a train back home.
Of the 11 hours I was out of the house, 5 were spent sitting on buses and trains to travel less than 80km

It's shocking how many so called leftists see that prize as a victory.

Highly recommend the latest series by upstream podcast on Venezuela and the successes of their socialist economic experiment amidst the empire's sanctions.

In today’s news, Israel’s stupid fucking genocidal rapists ran over an unexploded ordnance from their own evil carpet bombing campaign, blamed Hamas, started fucking bombing Gaza again, killed scores of civilians, and then quietly backed down on urging from Washington.

It’s not climate disaster or plagues.

It’s β€œAND”…

Take a look at mozzie and tick-borne diseases…

Flood associated diseases…

Diseases that impact the heart and lungs… that will bite harder if you’ve been breathing in smoke from bushfires…

Anyone buying into the war propaganda about Venezuela is a fucking moron. The lies are dumb even by usual US warmongering standards, and US regime change interventionism is consistently disastrous. People who say they want Trump to remove Maduro are admitting they never grew up.

ABC ordered to pay $150,000 fine for unlawfully sacking Lattouf The judge ordered ABC to pay a fine of $150,000 for unlawfully sacking journalist and presenter Antoinette Lattouf for reasons including her political opinions.

Will pro Israel lobby groups pay for this?

Will Ita Buttrose pay for this?

No, we will pay for this.

The already stretched ABC budget will fund less local content this year due to political interference and terrible management.

Anyone who would vehemently support the candidate actively partnered in genocide is not a good person.

I don’t know how to break it to you. They’re shit people. And this is revolting.

And she said the quiet but out loud referring to public infrastructure as private property.
Typical class traitors and protectors of capital.
They cannot imagine a world without private property as their entire role and any kind of need for them would cease to exist
