somewhat daft

@eevblog lets be real here, this is australia. federal government cant choose where people move federal government cant force land to be put on the market federal government cant set shire standards for type of housing.

So all this magic new housing supply that's supposed to happen, how exactly? It takes maybe two years to build an apartment block, and right now we have: - Building costs have spiked 40% - Big labour shortages - Interest rates are rising every month - Property prices are starting to drop - Credit is tightening - Diesel supply shock is likely - Inflation is out of control - Potential buyers are going to be hit with more CGT on their savings when they sell for the deposit. What construction company in their right mind is going to start a new build now in this sort of environment and trust that they'll make a profit in 2 years time?

@reginalddhunter the world is so loony and has so much to hate in it that the psychos are now rendered impotent due to internal conflicts and confusion.

Is just me or has there been dip in American mass shootings recently?

@helms29131 @omarsbigsister full internet access shouldnt be available to under age, they should operate in a restricted subset of the internet, whitelisted by parents.

In every single country that passed age verification laws: 1) databases got leaked 2) innocent websites got censored 3) governments became more censorship heavy 4) protests became more criminalized 5) information got harder to find

@DannyGKelly @WhiteRabbitIA nice.

@somewhatdaft @WhiteRabbitIA No, but you can become a carer for your stressed out family member who runs the shop

How on earth are families supposed to get ahead or just break even in Australia?

@DannyGKelly @WhiteRabbitIA can i claim NDIS for the stress of running the black market business ?

@WhiteRabbitIA Black market cigarette retailing or NDIS service business.

@rationalaussie i think you will infact find they are optimising for this, so aslong as 55% vote for the magor parties, they can fuck the rest of us into the ground forever.

I am concerned that not enough people have internalised the consequences of creating an economic and social environment where your average Joe no longer has anything to lose. The political class, in particular, clearly does not understand this.

@AlboMP a non core promise subject to inflation caused by massive government spending and immigration.

More tax cuts for working Australians are on the way in Labor's Budget.

@eevblog @GreenTyler27 no you cant, because they will hit you with the hate laws :) they are a wonderful government, war is peace, slavery is freedom.

@GreenTyler27 You can't hate this government enough.

Under labor Australia is now moving toward being one of the harsher jurisdictions in the developed world for taxing long-term investment gains. Even a Senate dissenting report acknowledged that halving the discount would move Australia “toward the top” internationally and abolishing it would place Australia among the highest-taxed jurisdictions. Removing wealth creation vehicles in Australia will only make more of us dependent on the state.

@ChrisDMott @DUSKdev @MoiDawg Rage 1's ending deserved the hate, the rest was excellent

@DUSKdev @MoiDawg Same. Was thinking soon might be time for another playthrough as it's been a few years.

Actually playing Mixtape and then seeing the discourse online about it has opened my eyes about so many of the games we were told to hate. Sure, some, like Veilguard, were absolutely deserving of it. But I'm now wondering what actually good games were hive minded.

@DanielW_Kiwi if it doesnt have blockchain and AI i dont trust it.

I've got a great SAAS idea. GUID as a service.

@ryanaldo34 @WarrenInTheBuff we need a way of talking about programming languages that doesnt attract the rust cultists.

@WarrenInTheBuff You mean a memory unsafe language with non-deterministic runtime exceptions was a mistake? It can’t be…

C++ was a mistake

@kookcove its not racism and hatred, its fact. we import more people than we build houses to keep the prices going up we import more people when corporates feel wages are too high none of this is the immigrants fault - its a government keeping its corporate masters happy.

@somewhatdaft It's not a strawman when people literally project hatred and racism at other races on a daily basis and blame "immigrants" for all their lifes woes...taking their jobs, or their houses or dependent on handouts..etc. I'm not making it up. We see it all the time. It's disgusting.

Immigration, a thread. Please read to end. This applies to all countries. I hate the immigrant conversation. I'm an immigrant. Ireland to Aus. So many Irish are. Brought here by a company because I had a unique skillset Aus did not have. 20yrs ago. I still do. Every immigrant 1>

@AvidCommentator we dont need 2 globalist neofeudal options, one is more than enough.

If the result in Farrer has shown one thing its that Angus Taylor does not have until the next election. The One Nation threat is real and if things look anything like today 12-18 months from now, his leadership is done. Time to start making the big calls or go home.

@AtomicEconomics @eevblog @MickamiousG minus the fee for the C02 you produced whilst on fire.

@eevblog @MickamiousG And when cremated, you enjoy the 'warmth of collectivism".

If Melbourne is the "Most Liveable" City in the world, what is it called if you get macheted to death in the "Most Liveable" City in the world curiously?

@Paul__Templeton 30% of australia is mad and feels this way, the other 70% couldnt give a flying hoot.

If we’ve read this correctly, the state has finally accepted reality: There is now a deep, irreconcilable split between traditional Australia and the post-national managerial state. They’re on the back foot — and it shows. Every new $74 million surveillance centre, every widening of the “extremism” net, and every frantic attempt to accelerate through this crisis is a clear admission of weakness. They’re not acting from a position of strength. They’re acting from panic. They’ve lost the ability to win through legitimacy, so now they’re trying to rig the playing field instead. They can build all the monitoring systems they want. They can expand their powers. They can pour millions into online surveillance. But they cannot manufacture legitimacy. And here’s the part that really stings: They are amoral. We are moral. They are defending a system that has broken its own founding compact with the Australian people. We are simply defending the original agreement. That is why they’re rattled. That is why they’re frustrated. And that is why they will ultimately lose.

@eevblog @JEChalmers He has reviewed his own actions and found himself in compliance.

@JEChalmers Isn't our legal requirement 90 days?

BREAKING: We're funding a Government-owned fuel reserve and securing 50 days of fuel supply. The federal Budget next week will include an Australian Fuel Security and Resilience package to protect our nation’s energy interests. As part of that package we are announcing we'll provide more than $10 billion to secure Australia’s near term fuel and fertiliser security, establish a permanent Government-owned Australian Fuel Security Reserve of around a billion litres, and lift the Minimum Stockholding Obligation by around 10 days for every type of fuel. This is all about securing more fuel for Australian motorists and industry and more fuel security for Australia’s economy.

@eevblog if only their was some easy way to take the heat out of the rampant government spending, the housing crisis, the hospital and services crisis. some easy reduction in load on the system.

RBA raises rates by a lousy 0.25%

@goodfoodgal yeh, cause we worked out its too expensive to train our own kids at the universities, so we can just import other peoples kids and hope they will pay taxes to support ours. its retarded retardation all the way.. a policy of retards by retards for retards.

Australians apparently aren’t capable of developing the skills required to become productive members of society in a variety of professions. That’s why we have to have mass immigration. You know. So we can have people who are skilled and capable of doing all the work. Right?
