The neocloud bubble is wild. Aussie startup Firmus has an IPO next week forecast at $30b. Its plans include 2 data centres that will suck 15% of the electricity in Tasmania, the main customer is OpenAI, it has no audited financials, and its co-founder is a criminal www.reuters.com/business/5-b...

Economic myth management
Does the Coalition really want to cut back on initiatives to ease the cost of living? This is a complex area with complex trade-offs that are hard to ‘explain’ to the public.

Tim Wilson is sad younger generations can’t get a sturdy foot on the property ladder. But as the intergenerational report shows, the older ones are pulling up the ladder behind them.

It’s 3:20am. I’m still sitting with mum in Emergency. We’ve been here since 5pm yesterday. Mum went walking to the shops yesterday, alone. It’s about a 2km walk. On her way home she fell. A woman driving by stopped, picked her up and took her to the local hospital emergency room. We’re still here.

Interesting that the economist interviewed by Peter Fitz did not echo an issue. Rather his concern was Trump /USA. Can only be 2 issues- US / Israel and AUKUS.

Take 2020 as the line in the sand. Even if prices are off 15% that means it still is 6% pa to 2025. Far from a crash.

There’s nothing wrong with RBA governor Michele Bullock using her central bank pulpit to talk up the threat of a rate rise. But the bank’s own forecasts say otherwise.
