@TheKouk Classic trolling, great post

The US govt is borrowing money to pay interest on its debt. A fiscal basket case unfolding in real time. Will an IMF bail out be needed? US government interest costs are 3.2% of GDP, highest since data started to be collected in 1940. It's easy to see why the US dollar is on the cusp of a major free fall

@bowtiedstocks All of the successful ones

I’m looking for examples of countries / states / cities that significantly increased taxes on its constituents and it lead to materially better economic outcomes Can anyone point me to any ? I’ll wait…

@_mumbling_me It’s really on LinkedIn, and Ken really is funny

This is not real. Tell me this is not real. Someone please tell me this is fake?

@SprinterPress In a warehouse 🤣

The richest state in Australia - Western Australia - is considering the possibility of creating its own fuel reserve for use during future energy emergencies, and will not share it with other states "These will be additional volumes of diesel fuel, purchased by the state government and stored in warehouses in case of difficulties and problems in supply chains," - said on Sunday, Energy Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson, - "This will be exclusively for the residents of Western Australia and will be directed at the discretion of the state government to areas where it is most needed."

@mppfister @SprinterPress Lol

@SprinterPress Smart, given the demonstrated negligence or incompetence of the Commonwealth.

@SpachusAus Sorry, Campbeltown didn’t look right but its probably units

@danchirps They are listing price reductions, it's our map.

Price cuts are heating up across #Sydney 🔥 This heatmap shows where listing price reductions are stacking up — the deeper the red, the higher the concentration of sellers adjusting expectations. Is the market recalibrating?

@ALazedGrain @blowingtom2 @PeterOB24979769 You think Australia was involved?

@blowingtom2 @PeterOB24979769 Yeah cool but what would be cooler is if we had a investigation and royal commission into the Epstein files and Australia's involvement

I have never in the entire time I’ve been on Twitter blocked so many people. That tally has doubled in 24 hours. You either support the ADF and BRS or you can piss off.

@SawyerMerritt And it’s still on its learners permit 🤣

NEWS: Tesla owners have now collectively driven over 9 billion miles on FSD (Supervised). • 64% of the miles are highway miles • 36% are city miles The fleet is currently on track to cross 10 billion FSD miles mid-late next month.

@bowtiedstocks New visa category for people that can bring a barrel?

Instead of importing millions of migrants unmitigated and at pace Maybe we should have been importing fuel barrels instead Just an idea

@AsennaWealth I thought you were flush? Seriously the governments job is regulation and supply which they are doing

In Australia, we pay a fuel excise of about 52 cents per litre, and then we also pay 10% GST on top of the excise. We're being taxed on a tax. Meanwhile federal gov does nothing, hoping the problem goes away. How about some short-term tax relief?

@pwafork @cjoye 0 out of 10 want to pay for it

Breaking news: 7 in ten Australians think we should drill and refine more of our own oil, making them infinitely more sensible than their political class. dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/seven…

@ausstockchick Lol, the hysteria on here does not reflect reality

You are getting a slight insight into what is happening with the fuel crisis through legacy media. The full story is not playing out. Albo can’t be see to be losing control of the situation. The masses must remain brain washed. #ausbiz #auspol

@MickamiousG Yes, encourage more purchasing, very clever

The best thing the Australian Government could do right now to help the Australian People is temporarily remove Fuel Excise. That's all they need to do and everyone around the country would actually happy that the Government is doing the right thing to help the people.

@aakashgupta Stick to what you know mate, your generic AI text here is short on facts

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

@EmpireVisible @jonfavs Good bot

@jonfavs You're confusing an actual deterrent with a contradiction. ​If threatening to completely vaporize their grid gets the Strait open without a single boot on the ground, isn't that literally the definition of a successful off-ramp?

He’s winding down the war and looking for an off-ramp but will blow up all their power plants unless they open the Strait which we don’t need and will open itself anyway which is why he might send ground troops to the country he already blew off the map.

@AvidCommentator Sounds like poor planning from the wharf company

This is a concerning development. It's also worth noting that overall fuel demand this week was weaker than last week.

@bowtiedstocks @PinguCapital That goes against the immigration narrative, dangerous game to play on here

@PinguCapital The equation changes if you remove the 40% of buyers that are investors, doesn’t it ?

Landboomers 2. History repeating.

@chinafutureclub How would you know?

I’m worried about Australia. Cost of living is out of control. The spending power of one dollar has rapidly declined. Real estate prices are a generational disaster.. Now petrol prices are exploding and nothing is being done to fix any of it.

@AvidCommentator Brought to you by the Everything bad is caused by immigration channel. You used to be serious person

If Australia does have a fuel shortage or rationing, running a huge migration intake for years is going to look pretty silly in hindsight. It's a pretty obvious soundbite for One Nation or the LNP to grab ahold of.
