Capitalism has a shelf life and we are approaching its end. It's just not sustainable

Petrol,food, electricity,dining,building materials,flights,accommodation,shipping.

All those have risen far more then 10%. Some closer to 50%
Shipping overseas has literaly doubled.
What's gone up by only 7%

The consumer price index (CPI).

Is it me or is Albanese avoiding the media? Maybe the others were just fixated on it more but our new PM seems to be less on the media than past PM’s.

maybe he needs to hire his own personal photographer to follow him around

Kids being picked on for anything is awful. Education on bullying should be enforced and that stuff should never be tolerated.

How do you stop it most teenagers see it as ego boost to look cool through that hormonal stage between 14-17 years of age by picking on people that seem weak.

And if your the victim and give a reaction the more they get out of it.

I do regret at times not speaking up at High School. But at the end of the day I have moved on.

I was pretty quiet I had my close group of friends but in some classes without that support I copped it because I wasn't smart enough to deal with it so I just acted dumb or naive to the situation but deep down it was killing me. And I knew I wouldn't win a fist fight with those blokes if I tried.

It's funny we have 10 year reunion in 3 weeks and all of my current group of friends we are all still best mates 95% of them aren't going. Our philosophy is we see the people we want to see from school when we want too. Why have to go to a reunion.

Plus I am going to the ODI Cricket game against England that Saturday so I was ruled out but I wouldn't have gone if i was free.

I ran into one of deadshits at the races at Randwick about 6 weeks ago. I did get a hidden chuckle seeing him completely bald at 28. And having a conversation about his work life I felt I am better off now anyway then him.

Well it's in America.

I am surprised anyone would be brave enough to bully anyone over there.

As one day any kid or his parents can just rock up with a shotgun and start firing if you piss them off enough.

Everyone sells their services for money. Its like a mortgage against our lives

The town said f**k that and wanted answers.

That's a lot of mexicans

 

[Chipmunk]

That's a lot of mexicans

I think the PC term is Southern Californians.

Reminds me of a time when I was on a cruise ship once, and went to one of the comedy shows one night. The comedian said "I'm from Southern California. It's a bit like living in Mexico, except we have more Mexicans!"

Well considering that the progressives haven't had the keys to the bus for a decade or more in this country, I think you're talking out of your coit.

They have constituted the bulk of academia and the public service since at least the eighties. Unelected officials.

They are not the law makers or the cash giver-out-er-ers.

No matter who is in the top job this current economic situation in the world is difficult to address. Inflation at over 7%, some saying it’s more likely over 10%. Dollar plummeting. Rising interest rates. Falling house prices (which I don’t mind because Sydney is crazy). Lack of rentals. It’s crazy.

Nah bullshit. He’s got 44 days to fix the lot or he can go the way of Liz Truss. Merkins need to be held accountable ffs. They’re not footy coaches.

Prostitutes and getting your garden done for cash have both gotten cheaper.

Russia and La Nina fault?

More like the world shut down for almost 2yrs on and off over some flu.
That's the main driver here. But let's ignore that and blame Putin and some rain. I'm sure they contributed but don't forget lockdowns. That's what we are paying for.

Nothing surer. Instead of making stuff people need, merkins were huddling in their homes.
