The Republican Way: Destroy what they think are leftist ideas, finding out that they are important, trying to replicate them, spending g 5x as much for an inferior outcome and granting contracts to their friends. And people vote for them.

You don’t have a trust There isn’t a secret trust that will come into being when your parents die Even if you have a few shares or bonds or “coins” you’re not going to make 20years worth of wages in 6 months You are part of the 95% Stop listening to the mouthpieces of Murdoch

I’m sorry to say this, but everyone who intends voting for One Nation is a bloody idiot She doesn’t have one policy that will help Her policies are spurious, divisive, corrosive ineffective All they do is feed her insatiable appetite for power & money

How many young Australians bought a home this weekend after they weren’t outbid by “Investors”. Not many I reckon. Going well so far then. How long until Labor abandon “The modelling”.

It is shit.

Resurfacing this from 2017.

@michalmalewicz Biggest CEO FOMO I have ever seen.

CEOs are the most delusional about AI. Detached from reality.

@bayanimills You need to get out more

Attended a recent house party where I got to speak with a range different people; different tax brackets, wealth positions, ages. Young people who have recently started buying ETFs/stocks, trying to save for a home. Young people who just bought a home. Young people who have a couple of investment properties. And older people who are in the same positions as the above. None were supportive of the new CGT changes. Zero. 🤷‍♂️

@BenjaminNorton No, he’s not sorry. It’s exactly what he thinks.

A headline that could have been published by The Onion

@Crashman_X No, the sky isn’t falling and you can’t use one example to justify a trend. Please block sensationalism

No bid auctions are becoming more and more popular. The sky really is falling.

@RepFine @WhiteHouse Only if Bibi approves it first.

I’ve been in touch with the @WhiteHouse tonight about the potential Iran deal and let me say this: President Trump will land this deal and end the conflict on his terms. The Mullahs will never have a nuclear weapon.

@crypto_rusty @PeterWallaceAU @michaelkerby2 Good luck finding trades to finish 4 renovations in a year lol Clearly Peter thinks that ChatGPT gave him a wonderful idea.

@PeterWallaceAU @michaelkerby2 How do you turn over 3 or 4 a year and claim 12 months PPR on all of them?

“The privileged few”. Ordinary wage earners borrow 105%, mortgage their home to do it. Rent covers some of the repayment, they pay the rest out of pocket. Runs at a loss loss. Capital growth is the only way they make money years later. Hardly privileged. Labor hates us.

@PeterWallaceAU @michaelkerby2 All that while working full time. Never heard of a biggest bunch of bs

@michaelkerby2 Buy a dump, renovate, live in it while renovating, sell for a profit, no capital gains tax because it’s a primary residence. Borrow private money for deposit and reno in exchange for profit share. Turnover 3 or 4 a year. Make hundreds of thousands tax free.

@RapidResponse47 Where’s Bibi? He’s your boss. Did you speak to him first?

An Open Letter to Tim Wilson MP @TimWilsonMP Sunday 24 May 2026 – 11:44 AEDT Re: National Press Club Address 20/5/26 Dear Mr Wilson, On 20 May 2026, during your address to the National Press Club, you referred to a young entrepreneur named Sienna Jovcevski and her business, Tweeny Skin. According to the official transcript and video of your speech, you stated: “At the age of 12, Sienna set up Tweeny Skin in her bedroom.” “Built after school, packed orders on weekends … reinvested basically every dollar back into the business.” “Yet while Sienna finishes her HSC, she has learned she has a shareholder who wants to take half the reward of her effort.” You later referred to this “half” as a potential 47% tax outcome when questioned by ABC journalist David Speers. Mr Speers specifically asked you: “The government says existing exemptions for small business would remain. So how exactly would Sienna lose half her profit?” You responded: “Well it depends on when Sienna chooses to opt out of her business and sell it and for what price…” You later added: “It could, depending on the exit strategy and price, ultimately face up to 47%.” Mr Speers then asked: “But is it possible she could pay no capital gains tax as well?” To which you replied: “We’re dealing with hypotheticals… It depends on when she decides to exit, it depends on what she sells for, it depends on what stage of life she’s at based on the current application of the law.” Given the seriousness and specificity of the claims made in a nationally broadcast address, and the potential for those claims to alarm small business owners and young entrepreneurs, it is reasonable for Australians to seek clarification as to the factual basis of the example you presented. Accordingly, could you please clarify the following: 1/. Prior to referencing Sienna Jovcevski and Tweeny Skin in your speech, did you make any enquiries regarding the legal ownership structure of the business? 2/. Did you seek to determine whether the business operates as: → a sole trader, → a company, → a discretionary trust, → or another legal structure? 3/. Did you seek to determine whether the business is legally owned, operated, or controlled by Sienna Jovcevski personally, or by other individuals, entities, or family structures associated with the business? 4/. Did you make any enquiries as to whether existing small business CGT concessions may apply to that business in the event of a future sale? 5/. Did you obtain or review any information regarding the approximate turnover, profitability, or scale of the business before presenting it as a national example of the impact of proposed CGT changes? 6/. Did you receive any professional taxation or legal advice supporting the proposition that the business would realistically face an effective 47% tax outcome under the circumstances you described? 7/. Given your acknowledgment that the example was hypothetical and dependent upon numerous unknown future variables, do you accept that your original framing may have conveyed a misleading level of certainty to viewers? 8/. Have you since sought clarification regarding whether your example accurately reflected the operation of Australia’s current small business #CGT concession framework? These are reasonable questions arising from statements made by a Federal Member of Parliament during a nationally televised address on taxation policy. Australians are entitled to expect that examples used in public policy debates, particularly those involving taxation and small business, are properly verified, accurately framed, and presented with appropriate factual context. We look forward to your clarification. Sincerely, The Noisy Trunk On behalf of many Australians

@TheNoisyTrunk @TimWilsonMP Given that all the other doom and gloom, all businesses will be wiped out and there will be no investments left in Australia people take their talking points from people like Timmy, it would be nice to ask all of them those questions too.

@DavidShuster @reedgalen Only if Bibi is okay with it.

According to Al Jazeera, the Iran deals includes unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting U.S. blockade, pulling U.S. forces away, reopening strait of Hormuz though with tolls to Iran, and allowing Iran to keep its enriched uranium. This would be a total U.S. surrender.

@HedgieMarkets @ProfessorTom Humans are cheaper

🦔RFID is the boring answer that would have worked. The technology has been mature for 20 years, the unit economics are well understood, and the failure modes are predictable. Computer vision got chosen here because it tells a better story to investors, not because it was the better tool for the job.

🦔This one happened yesterday but is still worth flagging. Starbucks killed its AI-powered inventory counting tool after nine months in North American stores. The system used LiDAR sensors and cameras to count syrups and milks, routinely confused similar products, and missed items entirely. A Starbucks promotional video from the launch literally captured the malfunction, with the system scanning around a peppermint syrup bottle on the shelf without registering it. Stores are returning to manual counting. My Take I love that the failure mode showed up in the promotional video meant to advertise the product. Starbucks did not pilot this in 50 stores and measure error rates against manual counting before deploying it. The company pushed it across the entire North American network because the CEO wanted to show technology leadership, and the syrup bottle the system could not see was right there in the launch materials. Pizza Hut Dragontail, Glendale Community College, and now Starbucks all ran the same script. AI sales pitches demo well in controlled environments and break down in actual operations. CEOs sign these contracts because the alternative looks like falling behind, and the costs of the failure land on the franchisees, store employees, and customers. The vendors get paid for nine months of being someone else's QA team. Nobody in the chain of executives signing these contracts is the one absorbing the cost, and until that incentive flips, the rollouts continue. Hedgie🤗

@HedgieMarkets I’ve been saying for a while: CEOs who have no idea of what AI can and can’t do taking advice from IT nerds and a huge dose of FOMO. lol.

@Timmehhhh7 It might surprise you but not all RE transactions are auctions.

@PaxPippa @dandinohill @all4deckerstar That’s exactly it.

@dandinohill @all4deckerstar Because 90 million of the honest hardworking people did not vote

How did a country of 300 million mostly honest, hardworking people end up with so many leaders who are corrupt?
