But… you’re still working through the heat of day? And it’s a lot of trades regardless of being indoor/outdoor.

Generally (but not always) in summer, the hottest part of the day is between 2 and 5 pm.
Starting at 7 am allows us to avoid most of that.

Thought Harris was far more the president in waiting than Trump on this debate alone.

Trump seemed to just make up a lot of vulgar shit eg. like abortions can be terminated post birth if Harris is elected.

They were saying post debate along the lines , that Trumps lies do stick in a sense that it creates doubt and an image of Harris

There’s certainly be some levelling of wages there but higher education has taught me things outside my line of work that assists me in being able to do improve my wealth position. Put simply people who haven’t gone through that higher education are way less likely to be aware of them or less likely to fully understand them.

And are you complaining about the growth you experienced due to an imbalance in supply/demand?

A- I work indoors 90% of time....I'd hate to get home after 4. Preferably home by 3. Atleast I can do stuff with my afternoon.

B- Probably correct. But in younger generations more people have access to information I think then before.

C. I got lucky. My first property more then doubled.
Then I bought this place when covid struck and we went into lockdown.Was a huge fire sale with investors rnd here for about 8-12 weeks and I took the punt....Prices then exploded. But it was all just luck

Seems to me like it’s part of the job then and nothing to crow about

Your answer to C indicates that you didn’t understand the B part.
Although I guess then you are correct in that you were lucky, because if you believe price movements are based on luck then you definitely got lucky.
Also with B having access to information doesn’t mean you know how to use it.

I bet you like to be home at 4:20, f**ken inner west hippies

I tell you how tradies make good coin. I own in a city building and we are getting lots of work done. The work has to be done between 5pm and 6am. We have one electrical job that goes for 10 weeks and we don't have a quote for under $1m. They start soon and will be finished before Xmas.

One of the other contractors who has been on the site for the past 6 months has been losing his young tradies of late because they get paid so much (working graveyard), that they are resigning and going overseas on europe trips.

I ain't working graveyard shift. I like to be home by 3pm so I can enjoy some of my DAY.
And I don't work weekends or Mondays anymore. I'm too old for that shit

I haven't had a billy for over 12mths.

 

[hindy111]

Anyhows. I forgot what we where even talking about. Was it houses?
I'm watering my plants.

Putting words in my mouth isn't clever. I was giving you a golden opportunity to itemize all the transparent DWs that are being used by the DEMS so far. I never said that they aren't there.

BTW there is a huge difference between policy and ambiguity via dog whistling. Clear and direction communication is policy, empty slogans aimed at contentious issues are not.

The definition of a dog whistle is ".... refers to the use of coded language or messaging that appears benign or neutral on the surface but is meant to send a specific signal to a particular group, often without others noticing the true intent."

So maybe when Dutton talks about not bringing in people from Gaza because of "safety" he's really talking to the racists. Or when Abbott said that a YES vote in the same sex marriage plebiscite would be anti-family, he's really just talking to the homophobes." Or when Dutton was going to court to stop refugees going to hospital on the mainland “We’re seeing people at hospitals missing out on medical services because people are taking it from Nauru and Manus. Australians will be angry about that as well.” DW to the racists again.

Is, "he's a threat to democracy!" a dog whistle ? No, however it's probably hyperbole or rhetoric used to energize a base.

These are what the two parties have submitted as their election platforms via The American Presidency Project. I will be interested if you could tell me which is offering policy.
