the flush we needed

@odden56 @PunishedJeanLuc @GreenTyler27 in most instances yes, agreed with above there are pockets of governments out there, like Singapore where they have curated and groomed the best of the best for government service, and having been adjacent to someone who has been a recipient of such a scholarship, it works

@PunishedJeanLuc @gilbertlinux @GreenTyler27 Government will NEVER attract the brightest, it will always attract the bottom of the barrel scum. There is no incentive at all The only option is to drastically reduce the Power & size of Government

Well that is very hard for Labor to deny… Australia now plans to issue roughly $125 billion in Treasury bonds next financial year all while: AU10Y yields sit above 5.1% AU30Y sits above 5.5% At the same time, KPMG’s Chief Economist said this federal budget was: “not about tax reform, but one focused squarely on raising revenue.” That should concern every Australian. Because if governments are increasingly designing tax policy around revenue extraction and debt servicing rather than productivity, investment and wealth creation, then we are very clearly managing decline and not building future prosperity. This is the uncomfortable reality: the market is demanding higher yields to lend Australia money while Canberra keeps expanding spending obligations. You cannot sustainably borrow more, tax more and suppress productivity at the same time without consequences. At some point the country has to decide whether the priority is: servicing an ever-growing debt pile, or rebuilding a productive, affordable and investment-friendly economy.

@greenytrades it’s the lazy cunt tax in full swing good thing there’s a good supply of those in this country go sus out Eatclub, you can find 40% deals most evenings for good burger joints that probably come up to $11 - $13 for a burger + $3 for chips and drinks bundle

Australia inflation is fcked man. I just went to order takeaway from a store only 15 minutes away. The order was two burgers, fries and a drink... it came to a total of $91 for delivery. Our country is cooked.

@ScourgeOfZeus @eevblog it literally states there, tax free

@eevblog I'm not sure how it is in Australia, but in US, if you win $1M and ask for lump sum payment, what gets to you is most likely around $350K to $420K tops after government take and taxes. So it is not $1000 exactly against $1M. At least in US.

Ah, this is old lotto winning chestnut again. Even if you have no fiscal restraint, it's better to take the $1M, because at least you'll have fun with it. If you do have fiscal restraint and a few brain cells to rub together then that $1M gets you at least that 5.2% compounded from day 1. You could even afford to take a few percent for you own use every year and still be better off. If you take the $1000/week for life then you effectively get less and less over time as real inflation effectively eats away that entire value year after year, with practically zero compounding. It's not inflation adjusted, so inflation will mean that $1000 is nothing in 30-40 years time. You are an order of magnitude better off taking the $1M now.

@PunishedJeanLuc @GreenTyler27 attempt does not = outcome you have no idea how moronic and retarded the people in power currently are

@GreenTyler27 KPMG are economically illiterate morons. You cannot raise revenue by doubling the capital gains rate, you've effectively halved the growth rate and by extension longer term tax receipts. These same disingenuous morons put out completely contradictory estimates on the mining tax

@user26194736 @DrewPavlou @KatieGrace2022 you clown average is skewed median is not

@DrewPavlou @KatieGrace2022 Median house is skewered of course, they can certainly afford a home.

Australia’s top tax rate of 47% kicks in on an income that still would not allow you to afford a mortgage on the median home in Sydney. So the government calls you rich but you cannot afford to buy an AVERAGE house in Australia’s largest city.

Australia is a country where if you win $500k on an 8 leg multi on SportsBet you won't have to pay any tax, but if you sell your business for $500k you'll have to give the government half. What are we incentivising here? How fucking retarded do you have to be to run your country this way?

@C4L38 @Pumpfun looks better than what swatch has made ngl

fits like a glove.

Been offline for a few days. A few comments: 1. The Australian government is digging their own grave with these CGT discount changes. 2. The One Nation by-election win is a harbinger of a trend just finally beginning in Australia. It's the beginning of 'the big one' - when ordinary Australians finally decide they have had enough of both corrupt, slimy slides of 'mainstream politics' (as Albo calls them) and kick them to the curb where they belong. 3. 1 will propel 2, because business interests in this country have largely been silent on mass migration due to the stigma associated with publicly being against it, but they will not remain silent when the thing they care about most is jeopardised: money Australia punches above its weight intellectually. We are a small population but we do genuinely have some smart people here. It's just that they largely all leave and go to America, where they are not treated like shit and don't have their wealth stolen from them by a corrupt government who then allocates the stolen capital into things that benefit themselves. It is incumbent on all Australians to call out just how corrupt this government is - and really now, every Australian government for the past two decades. We are long past the point of platitudes and friendly suggestions. These people must be removed from office. They are incompetent, they lack integrity, they have no right to be telling hardworking Australians how to live their lives, and they certainly have no right to steal 50% of your money for starting a successful business - only to then allocate that capital into fraudulent schemes like the NDIS. The audacity of this government to say that removing the CGT discount is about intergenerational equity is disgusting. Yeah @AlboMP please explain to everyone how removing the discounts your boomer generation voted for and used to pump the living shit out of your non-productive property portfolios, and which now the next generation can't even use to be incentivised to start a BUSINESS (not even buying/selling property or shares), is 'equitable'. What a lying retard this bloke is. He has zero understanding of economics. The absolute audacity to do this, after using taxpayer's funds to subsidise demand into the housing market to inflate their dogshit properties supposedly worth millions of Pacific Pesos, is insane. It's the type of immoral shit that could only possibly be dished out by a bloke who has taken from the public his entire life. Not a single private sector role. Truly pathetic shit. We need a referendum to exclude any person who has not served a decade in the private sector from public office. These people could not be entrusted to run a local pie shop let alone a country. The funny thing about all of this is the boomers have sewn the seeds for a truly radical person a decade from now to literally just steal all their shit. That's the mood they have created. No one will give a shit. They will remember who stole from them. 'You steal my opportunity? Okay, I will remember that a decade from now when we have power, and steal every last cent back' - this is the political environment we are heading towards over the next several years. Things are going to get very extreme... Best analogy is Germany 1930s. Australians deserve better, and One Nation is the beginning of that, not the end.

@ledgerstatus i sold a ton of spot at 73k a few days ago and this post makes me feel really really good that i did. will rebuy it at sub 40k

Crypto looks like the most obvious commodity / SOV trade left. I say crypto bc while Bitcoin makes the most logical sense for that trade, degenerates are waiting for beta and will pump the other stuff too. Long way of saying UpOnly.

Interesting bookmark to like ratio. Also fuck you whoever is bookmarking and not liking 😤

How to hit the female cervix reset button: - place foid hips underneath pillow to change angle (not needed, but helps) - push legs over foid’s shoulders (use ankle as leverage point - sub 15% body fat helps, less fat pad yk (you, not the foid) - you’re trying to scoop deep inside and curve upwards, get through the g spot, main canal walls and then to entrance of cervix. You’re not an animal trying to copulate in a cave, you’re a man made in the image of God, make LOVE. - look for the involuntary facial expressions while getting your strokes in - if foid is healthy, cibai wetness will increase massively (if not please check her for yin and blood deficiency) - if correct and she orgasms, it should usually be full body, if not, get her to start taking vitamin E and progesterone - done right she should be almost unable to move for several minutes afterward in a euphoric/comatose state visual guide below; see O spot, around there (I think) *send tweet*

@jonathanvolk @ClintFiore @Starlink you guys are clowns connectivity can be a game changer for us pilots who fly into remote regions where we’ll need weather to know whether a flight can be a go / no-go a 20 minute flight to climb up to 3,000ft to get radio contact with ATC can now be a quick search away

@ClintFiore @Starlink Can afford a plane bc it makes business sense but can't afford $1k/mo to keep working during travel. Make it make sense. Lol I don't believe any will cancel

All my small plane pilot friends are big mad at @starlink today. Their plans just went up 5X in price overnight, and the data included went from 100GB to 20GB. I know it's a small group of people, but this is causing many to cancel this service as it's now cost-prohibitive especially with the lower bandwidth service. Starlink was a complete game-changer for being connected from a small plane, and I think it would be cool if they left it where it was so normal folks in piston aircraft could enjoy it, and reserve the higher-price tiers for turbine aircraft speeds, 300+mph. It's got to be the tiniest revenue difference for SpaceX either way, but it's a world of difference for safety and connectivity to the American general aviation fleet of small planes. cc @elonmusk

@hoeflatoor brought a tear to my eye glad to know AI won’t replace this one

You could get DSA into RI, then RJC, then Harvard scholarship then get a high-earning corporate job. Jestermaxx out a mid SMU psychology girl that's 1/4 Peranakan but still looks Chinese enough for your mother's approval. Get married and accept she's going to gain 15kg of extra bodyweight after 3 kids. Put your salary and savings into crypto, NVDA and TSLA early and flip your bloodline from mid-tier Sinkie Chinese to New Money Sinkie. Get a nice GCB and hire a 7/10 Indo maid named Dewi that you occasionally sniff the scent off down the hallway but don't touch because you're a Good Christian Man. Send your kids to international school so they don't have a sinkie accent and are raised as part of the new elite and not the permanent grab driver underclass. Hate your wife for giving you a daughter first but you have two sons (one seems gay because you argued with her too many times while she was pregnant) so at least the bloodline is somewhat secured. You've been racist enough at the dinner table that he probably won't fall for a brown girl and will bring home one that's yellow or white. The marriage falls into a loop of presenting niceties to your church community and colleagues, but you sleep in separate bedrooms. Except when there's friends staying over, then the middle of the bed remains cold and frigid, your wife's body and yours left untouched with separate duvets. Your only heterosexual son chooses to leave Singapore for Australia after he couldn't get into a good university and you sent him to Perth and he fell in love with an Aussie libtard barista with purple dyed hair. Half her family are bogans that you met on a road trip to Margaret River where you spent 70% of it deeply intoxicated due to work stress while your son drove you from BnB to BnB. You don't understand his fascination with angmoh women but his gf dyed her hair back to brunette out of courtesy and you begin to have a normal relationship with your potential daughter-in-law. She even laughs at you saying she uses chopsticks well. Your biological daughter hates that you detested her for being female and changed pronouns after you sent her to New York for a liberal arts degree. She seeks to inherit your estate but you're not sure how that will work with the Mandate of Heaven. Your gay son moved to the YooKay and sends you text tirades of how much he detests your wealth but the only way he doesn't block you is giving him a stipend to pay off his overpriced Kensington flat each month. At least he never dated a Malay boy, you whisper, as you hear your wife blowing her nose from chronic hypothyroidism after the years of a loveless marriage. Thank God for separate bedrooms, you say. Your wealth generates enough interest to sustain several sugar babies. You read about Melvin Lim getting busted in his office and laugh at his terrible opsec. No one knows about the Vietnamese, Russian, and Thai mistresses, you think to yourself as you stare at the ceiling on your Tempurpedic that you got at a discount at King Koil. Your cute Indo maid that's a single mother, you've visited her daughter's kampung close to the Ring of Fire and even left her enough money to pay for her entire primary schooling. You've still never touched Dewi as a good Singaporean Man. But there's a bit of mould in your room even though it's worth millions. You'll call the contractor tomorrow. The lines on your forehead that weren't there when you first got your money seem to be getting deeper each day. You've got a longevity expert that says your vitals are fine yet your heart remains filled with a sense of emptiness. You age. Decades pass. Your gay son somehow discovered Ray Peat when he went to a sauna gathering in East London and reverted to heterosexuality. Turns out it was just the parasites and unfiltered tap water. He looksmaxxed and somehow seems to be a better inheritor of the estate than both the lesbian daughter and your first son. Your first son has been hit by the Norwood Reaper but at least his Eurasian kids are cute and get preferential treatment in Singapore. You suspect your Golden Rice Bowl might be ripped to shreds when you finally pass. Your ex-colleagues and business network look at your grandchildren with jealousy as they go home to their robot harems, devoid of human company. The new Scarlett Johansson model just came out, and the Chinese bootleg has self-cleaning genitals. They've released a new Neuralink update that simulates the peace and quiet of a GCB even if you're in 2-room HDB in Aljunied so you're kind of worried that the GCB might be worth nothing in several decades. But that's still in the future. You're 88 now and they're projecting life expectancy to be 200. You just might make it. But now your children start to clamour for your estate and their pound of flesh. The mistresses you have stay the same age, while you pay a specialist to smuggle Chinese peptides from Bangkok to Singapore. Your favorite Indo maid is now a grandmother. Her daughter became a single mother and took over the housecleaning in the GCB, while her mother does the cooking. She's older now but she's still the round-eyed, sweet-scented brown woman that looked at you with love, understanding and sadness after the hundredth argument with your wife about money and happiness. You treat Dewi's daughter better than your angmoh daughter in law and your wrinkled, longsuffering wife wonders why CNY reunion dinners are always so quiet even with wagyu sashimi, caviar kueh pie tee and abalone yusheng on the dinner table. At least the grandchildren still talk to you. It's 2100. You've outlived your wife. The funeral is ornate, elaborate, and you shed a single tear watching the pearl white robots wheel her casket into Mandai crematorium. It's time, you say. Time to have the life I always wanted beyond all this, you quietly whisper as you hear your grandchildren crying. You pay for a jailbroken Claude Opus hybrid agent that's connected to a nanorobot quantum mechasuit to quietly bequeth most of your wealth to your lesbian daughter as she was the one that proved her business acumen. Artificial wombs became mainstream, so all your children did secure the bloodline with your bags of fiat. But you realize your sons could never live up to your shadow, and thus - you choose to leave them in the darkness of their human fragility. But you've secretly slipped Dewi life extension pills for all these years. Her telomeres remain long, her vitals still youthful. On a quiet night before Christmas, you write a letter to your daughter detailing the steps to protect the Rice Bowl. For your sons, you leave them both 30 pieces of silver each. For your grandkids, their future is safe. It's time to go. Dewi steps into the robot mechasuit with you as it transforms into a nuclear powered submarine. Nanorobots. The power of a thousand suns is finally in the palm of your hand. Off the coast of Pulau Ubin, the both of you descend into the ocean's depths, in search of worlds unknown. Free at last, you say. Free at last. You could do this all. But you will not.

Chinese New Year hits different in bear market. My 94 year old grandma and her twin talking about how they rotated from stonks into gold while I’m holding a bag of crapto. Then they clown on my bro for being boomer exit liquidity on property bc “it was so cheap 50 years ago”.
