@h4rvestsky Is she right though? 🤔
$300 million a month extra tax revenue from fuel could go a very long way towards funding infinity benefits for infinity third world migration
Maybe ABC could use some of it to fight misinformation about the benefits of infinity third world migration.

@PaulineHansonOz Drill and tax correctly and lessen taxes on everyday Australians
Huai Yai, Thailand 🇹🇭 English
As more servos run empty and fuel rises past $3 a litre, One Nation is the only party with a clear plan to help Australians. Here's what the Government should be doing in this fuel crisis:
Trigger the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 to force fuel supplies into the regions and stop the price gouging by Big Oil.
Start precautionary rationing so priority supplies for hospitals, emergency services, defence and food production can be saved if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
Cut the fuel excise by 100% for 3 months and/or remove GST on fuel which is a tax on a tax. This will give immediate relief to Australians.
Finally, ditch net-zero so we can drill Australia's own oil, rebuild refineries and never get into this situation again.
It's time for the government to step up and demonstrate they actually have a plan. If the government doesn't want panic then they need to lead.
One Nation is happy to show them what to do.

People say online life hollows out real life, and one of the ways it does that is that with one exception, I have met far more interesting, intelligent, clever, industrious friends on the internet than I ever have in my real life.
Max@minordissent
People go online to fulfill their unmet IRL needs. Men who can get their sexual needs met IRL dont watch porn. Women who can get their attention needs IRL don’t use social media. And there is very little you can get online that you wouldn’t be better off getting IRL instead. It’s worth asking yourself what unmet needs you are turning to the internet to meet and what you should change about your life to get them met offline instead.

So Yookay meaning of Asian was a euphemism all along?
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10
Stop referring to them as 'Asian grooming gangs'. They're not Japanese. Call them what they are - they are Pakistani rape gangs.

@ctindale @LukeGromen @BradHuston Yes agree - was wondering if the calculus on Iran had been well midterms look stuffed anyway may as well get some work done

People thinking this shifts after the election are misreading the system. You just removed ~40% of Russian oil flows and ~5% of global LNG inside 24 hours. The bypass routes are already maxed. That’s a physical constraint, not a political one.
By the time midterms arrive, the system has already repriced around scarcity. A Democratic House can impeach, but removal still requires 67 votes in the Senate. That threshold depends on cross-party break, not election results and a cross party break us t lining up .
So the mid terms mean a lot less than folk propose it does.

Luke is not a political guy. His focus is on finance and dollar debasement. This feedback is significant.

@Stevephenni Hearing this all over - rabid Trump supporters are planning on staying home this fall if this continues. Blue tsunami inbound this fall if nothing changes. Polls I am seeing not reflecting this.

En El Salvador, el Presidente @nayibbukele derribó los monumentos de la izquierda construidos en la época de la falsa paz. Ese material se utilizó como tapaderas de alcantarilla para las calles. Y en ese lugar se construyó una plaza pública y un cine al aire libre gratis. 🇸🇻

Any country that doesn't replicate what El Salvador managed in mere months is telling the world their only purpose is to protect criminals and terrorize law abiding citizens. They are themselves criminals.
Salvadoran Pride@SalvadoranPride
Just a few years ago, the only tourists in El Salvador were surfers in beach towns. Going to downtown San Salvador at night? Unthinkable, even for locals.

Well libtards spent the last 20 years trying to import millions of people with IQs that, as late as 2015, were medically classified as “mentally retarded.” So it’s hard to find a word that fits better.

The actual question here is what sane man would want this guy anywhere near his children
Nicholas Decker@captgouda24
When I have children, I do not want them to be genetically mine. Instead, I will have someone better than me be the sperm donor. My reasoning here: nicholasdecker.substack.com/p/why-my-child…

I can't keep track.
Is Trump winning because he achieved his goals and Iran is now entirely contained and Hormuz is open by next week?
Or is Trump winning because he meant to trigger the largest energy crisis in history to flex US energy dominance and this isn't meant to end?

The online age verification push (which unfortunately has the support of much the GOP, clueless geriatrics that they are) in Europe, UK, Australia, and California is the current front in the closure of the Internet (by disabling anonymity).

(1/11) Some of you oldtroons calling themselves "frogs" seem to have forgotten your vidya roots and are oblivious to the humongous opportunity at hand with regards to age verification to use Discord or play online video games. If you're unaware, right now there is a push in the

This is would be the happy offramp. The more likely path though is South Africa. See @k9_reaper to peek into the future
Andrew Jeffery@credealjunkie
The more time I spend in Latin America, the more I’m convinced this is the likely path for the US. Small, wealthy class of elites and then everyone else, crumbling infrastructure and economy dominated by an openly grifting state. Not quite socialism, not quite capitalism, an ugly middle ground where the social contract has completely eroded. @rhunterh was on this trend a while ago, took me a while to come around but there’s too much evidence to ignore.

Remigration will be easy to unwind, unfortunately.
This and AI development fragmentation is not. Durable wins.
RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄@RyanSAdams
THEY DID IT. The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets. They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name! THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO (he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence) This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path. It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator. (of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it) This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets: 1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14) 2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception). 3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities. 4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends. 5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities. Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator. No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges. How about the Howey test? More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after). How about stuff like staking and mining? Mining? Not a securities transaction. Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs! How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction. Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops. Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both. SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets. Every country will follow. This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets. Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins. And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.
