We should also remember that...nobody wants to work anymore....isn't a new phenomena. In fact it's a good bet that most of those people complaining about people not wanting to work anymore come from a generation that was accused of not wanting to work anymore! https://imgur.com/gallery/gtMgiEO That...

Bit of a catch all thread on economics. I'm constantly shocked by the general level of ignorance around the history of capitalism and the ascent of neoliberal economic theory (aka: trickle down economics, laissez-faire capitalism, economic libertarianism). John Ralston Saul called the neoliberal tak...

Only polling in the key states matters, but even then, its all a bit random feeling. And then throw in the possible m...

Heard jim chalmers defending stage three tax cuts on the grounds that the surplus is bigger than expected. What else would you do with unexpected windfall beside give it to those least in need of it. Makes perfect sense in 2023

So they have dumbed the whole issue down and decided to go further down...

I can't really think of a single human over the last 50 years that has done as much damage to civil society and the causes of social justice than this vile tumor of a being. He played a giant part in climate change denial at a time when we might have been able to save ourselves. Murdoch offerings ar...
