@NPI70s is being taxed on interest you make from your taxed salary sitting in a bank account 'double tax'?

@disco___cat You mean the income tax that has been significantly cut over time? And you’re looking to double tax those who’ve paid up to 50 years of taxes previously… they’ve done their bit. Yes they’re in a good position. Good for them. If you’re worried income then other options available

@NPI70s They are getting tax free income from their super investment. Why? Meanwhile the young are paying ridiculous amounts of income tax.

@disco___cat False equivalency. You’re applying a principle of one tax onto another. I’ve been taxed on my income already so my income doesn’t get taxed again. That principle doesn’t apply to what you spend so taxing there is fair game

@NPI70s Ah yes the ‘only pay tax once’ nonsense. I’m not paying GST anymore as I’ve already been taxed on my income.

@disco___cat That they’ll already have paid tax on to get there in the first place. And we encourage people to not be a burden on the public purse in retirement and encourage self sufficiency. Cannot see an issue here..

@NPI70s Income tax applies to income, they are earning income from their super.

@disco___cat They’ve retired. They’re no longer working. They’ll still pay GST and other relevant taxes as they should… just not tax from earning a wage.

I saw a video of myself getting on down at a party. On the one hand, I am definitely looking like a dumpy middle-aged Sheila (harrumph). On the other, I clearly do know how to move my body. I can't decide whether to share the vid or try to scrub it from existence. 🤣

I’ve just posted a rating on the App Store re X. The one star I gave it is still too high. This app is now fubar.

@XAustralia all I want is a Following feed that gives me things in chronological order. Whatever you’ve done this is no longer the case. The app crashes, I don’t get what I want: why would I upgrade to use more of what you offer when you cannot do a simple thing?

If X is banned by the Govt here, I’m trying to work out what I’d actually miss. Sure some follows are ok but this is a shit heap and there are some Aussies who may actually need to get a job rather than just post on here to annoy bot farms who help pay their wage

Yet this platform defaults my view to there. They know their product is shit. Yet they still promote it. The more I think about it there’s an element of incompetence but it seems more malicious. When I read the crap X thinks I want to see, this is close to pure evil

I can honestly say the “For You” section is a shitshow of unimportant people mostly bad people elevated by an algorithm that wouldn’t know me from a bar of soap. If they think this is what I want, the people creating it are incompetent … or malicious. Or both.
