@electricfuture5 Well to say they all come from China is a lie as well. They come from all over the globe, depending on what the catalogue is. Regardless, who gives a crap what you think about it. If people want to pay for stuff from ALDI, then it's their choice.

We're importing the 3rd world to do services like this, run to a store for you to buy cheap crap from China because you're too lazy to walk yourself. Laziness is destroying Australia

@AvidCommentator They also measure it by days of fuel reserves, which has increased; but I guess you neglected to mention that 🤪

Albo please stop measuring incoming fuel cargoes by the number of ships. It just muddies the waters. You could theoretically supply all of Australia's monthly fuel and oil needs with less than 20 ships, but naturally the size varies dramatically.

@Matt_Camenzuli You need to go back to school. Fuel price is global. Further, it actually costs more for fuel to be refined here then in Singapore.

Remember when the cost of fuel in $ was lower than the litres? Back when we made our own fuel. Better times.

@wilburston @Nirgal451 Wrong. Most retailers absorb the fee. Only smaller cafes and independent shops add the fee on, and they have to make it clear.

@BenFordhamLive Australians can't watch it on YouTube but the rest of the world can. Think about how insane that is. It's really on point though, it's very Australian take take anything Australian away from Australians.

This is a shocker. The ABC has handed the BBC the rights to Bluey. But the show could’ve funded the entire ABC budget - twice over. Listen to the details HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧

@BenFordhamLive The BBC always had the rights. Did you stop to think that maybe the reason it was so popular was because of the global reach of the BBC

@Samaytwt iPhones don't allow apps to access a shared library. Gmail likely requires Chromium to run, and as such that is installed with it on iPhones, but built into the android software.

@Okla_Hombre What your negating is that McDonald's works in places that have a much higher wage cost.

The average McDonalds restaurant takes in ~$4million/yr in revenue. They spend ~$2 million in non payroll operating expenses. Raising the minimum wage to $25/hr would give each of the ~50 full time employees a pay rate of $51,000/yr. That would increase their payroll costs to $2.5 million per year Each McDonalds would operate at a net loss, unless they massively cut payroll costs through automation. That means job losses. The laws of economics are undefeated.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25. As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense. The real minimum wage was $14 in 1968. Today it is half, but productivity has increased 2.5x. Instead of extractive capitalism, we need a free enterprise system that pays workers what they are worth.

@billd1085676 @WhiteHouse Trump has been doing this for decades. Knocks down buildings before approval, then uses the "it's already gone" argument to support the new building. Only was to prevent it is to force a rebuild of the old structure.

@WhiteHouse Nobody hate on me too much for this. BUT, given that someone literally shot President Reagan at that same hotel, maybe he has a point on this one. I mean, the east wing is already gone. So might as well build the ballroom.

@RodOliveiraPT @Jeffel4g @eurofounder Literally so many inconsistencies. 1. Post is structured like an AI summary or story 2. Author has posted this multiple times before 3. Author has claimed his daughter is 9 in other posts 4. No Euro bank would use this as a reason to place a hold on your account.

My daughter went on a solo holiday to California last week I warned her not to go, but she didn't listen "Papa it is just two weeks, I'll meet some friends" Yesterday she called me from Los Angeles, scared "Dad, the bank blocked my card, I can't pay for anything. They must think it's a fraud by mistake" I chuckled "It is a fraud, and this is exactly what a German bank is supposed to do" I said "What? Dad please can you call them, I have no money" I refused "No. Your bank is protecting your money from the American Ponzi scheme" She started crying "You wanted America, you're on your own. Germany does not owe you anything anymore" I hung up Let this be a lesson for my daughter. Trust the European system, or face the consequences

@eurofounder What's with all these so called AI experts being shoved down our throats. Just a 2 second scroll on their profile shows they are completely fictional characters. This bot claims his daughter is 9yo in one post, and traveling to California for a holiday in another 🤣

@USronaldcarter 1. Your an AI bot account. 2. Called it as soon as the news came out. Trump was always going to use this to justify his stupid Ballroom idea.

Nobody is telling you how dangerous the Trump ballroom fight actually is right now. They're showing you chandeliers. They're NOT showing you the security complex underneath. Here is what you need to understand: A gunman allegedly charged a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He reportedly had: 💀 shotgun 💀 handgun 💀 knives A Secret Service agent was hit. The vest saved him. Trump was evacuated. Read that again. Now Trump is saying the attack proves his White House ballroom should not be blocked. Here's what nobody is telling you: ⚠️ The court fight is not just about a room. ⚠️ The project is tied to bunkers, medical facilities, secure communications, and military installations. ⚠️ A judge allowed security work below ground but restricted above-ground ballroom construction. That is the real collision. They are arguing over a ballroom. Trump is arguing over a fortified presidential event machine. If this was only vanity, the shooting changes nothing. If this is security, the lawsuit becomes politically toxic overnight. Complete silence. This isn't a construction dispute. This is a national security fight wearing a ballroom costume. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨

@WarMonitor3 Likely due to ground vulnerabilities for these aircraft. Iran only has ground target weapons left, so the US keeping these airborne presents them being hit .

Interesting that the US airforce seems to keep constant large tanker presence over the Middle East near Iran even in ceasefire, with fighters ready to go and reconnaissance flights being flown...

This is crazy! 🇦🇺 Australia: @SpaceX might be required to bid in an auction to acquire spectrum in order to provide satellite-based mobile services in the country! SpaceX said it could avoid Australia completely when deploying its satellite-based mobile network coverage if it is forced to bid in an auction to buy crucial spectrum. SpaceX blasted the notion it would have to compete against Australian telcos for the necessary spectrum – the 2GHz mobile satellite services range – to make its mobile products work. The telco regulator, the Australian Media and Communications Authority, has said it's considering an auction. “While parliament has taken the initiative to close the digital divide once and for all, ACMA seemed poised to move in the opposite direction,” said David Goldman, SpaceX vice president for satellite policy. “It seems to be moving to auction the very spectrum we need to deliver the next-generation satellite service, in an unprecedented move that would contradict how it treats all other satellite spectrum, and a move that no other regulator has taken to date. If Australia proceeds with an auction, it will make Australia a major outlier in the international community, and Australians will bear the burden in the form of higher costs or worse: total lack of service. To be clear, an auction of this spectrum could undermine the intended goal of parliament and the government ... To deliver this service, we must have access to spectrum that is specifically dedicated to satellite services.” Goldman said SpaceX had not considered how it would price access to its mobile service because the spectrum uncertainty meant “we’re not even sure we’re going to be able to deploy in Australia”.
