I hope you will look at adding sodium batteries to the scheme, some businesses are unable to install lithium batteries for insurance reasons, and sodium batteries are now a proven technology.

Deliberately crashing the American economy—costing American families well over $5,000 each—and then promising to pay those families back $5,000 but *only if* they keep letting him abuse them and the country for two more years... ...is some *seriously* dark, domestic-abuser shit.

The force of hate and control are bubbling on the surface of leadership dominance. The worlds time to stop them in their tracks has to be now.

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?

Australians have been dudded by the gas industry. It’s past time governments admitted it. On Follow the Money this week, @richarddenniss.bsky.social & @ebonybennett.bsky.social discuss how the gas industry tricked Australia – and how we can stop it happening again. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4goevdi

SA just had an abortion amendment defeated, I did notice that both the state leader and state treasurer voted for the proposed restrictions, while the majority of their colleagues did not. More white males trying to tell women what they can and can't do.

Watching the scene unfold in the US, I was surprised by how much of media was complicit. I'd like to think we are different, but it may seem we are not. There's a lot to do, ensuring this grub does not get any more power.

Unfortunately, civil works rarely include a compensation fund for affected businesses. This is even more important in small communities where business owners have very limited access to passing traffic on a good day. Any downturn always spells disaster.

We need to be very alert, Gina has put her arm around Pauline, so all the other rich mates who control our media have fallen in line. The last thing we need is our country engaging in a Trumpian experiment, like the US.

It's totally crazy that regional fuel distributors have been classified as spot buyers, this typical city head in the sand decision, has cut off fuel supplies to farmers. Yay, we'll have fuel at the city pumps, but nothing to eat. Time to get it right. @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social

Same in SA, my last job was visiting homes repairing pc's. Elderly resident overjoyed that Uniting Care purchased the unit block where she lived. She exclaimed, rent went down, replaced worn out floor coverings and made small repairs the first time she asked. Why is gov housing in such bad way.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Duopoly politicians delivering government services to Australians that are either outright criminal on an industrial scale as in Centrelink's Robodebt, or punitive in their delivery and lack a duty of care Outsourcing any government function is a betrayal of citizens and a function of ideology

It is unusual for this department head to be so public, I'm also aware of major changes (preparations?) at the military base not far from me. Are they actually preparing for something or justifying their enormous budgets? I doubt we will know unless the proverbial hits the fan.
