@Mountain_Tui @GayMaxine Maybe the 8000 jobs Willis wants to axe are all at this ministry?
English
The Productivity Commission was canned in 2024 so Seymour could absorb its budget for his pet Ministry of Regulation
ACT's new Ministry costs 4 x as much as the PC, and is 4 x as large, with on average the highest paid public servants & 4 Chief Exec/Deputy CE roles

Twice yday I asked him how many of the 267+ regulators had been abolished or substantially hacked back under the current govt, 2.5yrs in. No answer. I tried asking a couple of AIs. They identified a small number of abolised agencies (eg Prod Comm) but none of them regulators.

It's going to suck because Den of Nalorakk, Blinding Vale and Voidscar Arena are dungeons I dislike. I also don't like most of the Troll ones either. King's Rest, De Other Side, yeah I'm good.
Season 2's pool just won't be fun for me at all.
MrGM@MrGMYT
I bet the Dungeon pool for in Midnight Season 2 will be full Troll-themed dungeons

Stoners in USA is this right? 1 gram is a dub = $20.00 3.5 grams is an 8th = $45.00-$50.00 7 grams is a quarter = $100.00 14 grams is half an ounce = $200.00 28 grams is a full ounce = $250.00-$300.00

@Tatanka76 @SteveBe50046154 Nothing you’re talking about includes a reduction of MPs?
English
@SteveBe50046154 It doesn’t matter
We ain’t got the money
We have 123 MPs
How many can most people name
What do they do to better our community
If u have no money as a family or firm u stop spending

@Tatanka76 Everything these departments do will still need to be done, it’s just they’ll be consolidated

@ChaitanyaOnTech foldable tech has upgraded massively since 2022. The fold4 (which released in 2022) was a terrible phone and the fold7 is much better with less returns and faults. Safe to assume the fold8 due out this year along with the reported iPhone fold will be even better
English
I love how they change when Apple does it
Sam Kohl@iupdate
The iPhone Fold will have a 4:3 aspect ratio that is great for watching videos

@KalanisCalves If value to society mattered then hedge fund managers should make $0
English
This is what our society fails to comprehend.
If I work as a physical therapist, and I’m good, I’ll make $100,000/yr. And pay $15,000 in taxes. I can see 60 patients per week. But that’s the end of it. No additional tax money, no more patients can get my services. I provide a living for myself and my family.
If I own a practice and employee 10 therapists that each make $100,000, now I’m providing a living for 10 families, and because of my efforts there is now $250,000 in tax revenue.
So why should businesses get taxed more? Why should they even have to pay payroll taxes? My value to society is way more than 10X at this point.
But the vast majority of Americans can’t comprehend that, neither do our congressional representatives.

Jeff Bezos: "If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving."

@Phillippa61 @worldiswatchu Already happened but it’s not as tinfoil hat as this conspiracy theorist believes it to be

@worldiswatchu Crikey that is bad... coming to nz soon probably, mine isn't 5g either, I flatly refused anything 5g 2 years ago...
English
This is the Australian phone I maintain.
Because the phone isn't 5g and can't be monitored they are going to block it.
This is the extreme surveillance and control measures they are doing over the ditch.
This will be to do with the compulsory digital ID rollout.
English
@worldiswatchu It’s probably because it cannot use VoLTE as the frequencies are different in china where the phone was made and Australia,
It has nothing to do with 5g and everything to do with 3g and that your phone could only make calls using 3g

This man is so fucking stupid. Any competent lawyer will tell you to shut the fuck up after something like this, because charges can still be coming, and everything you post in the hours afterward can reveal state of mind and absolutely be used against you.
