Bernie Sanders is not an alarmist but what he's saying - and much using the words of tech overlords themselves - is alarming. We have been warned. Our governments need to act NOW!

Is the US shipping oil out of the Strait of Hormuz? Which companies and where is it going? Or is Trump spewing bs?

The AFR headlines constantly feature in my Google feed - usually behind the paywall like this one today. How can AFR retain any credibility with nonsense headlines like this: ‘Kath & Kim’ economics catches up with Albanese and Chalmers Coorey and sub-editors at their best!

This is a fellow Greg Sheriden says we need to invest our trust - that Australia's sovereign security depends on tying unquestioningly ourselves to him.

Sheridan on #Insiders claiming Albanese's push for AI guardrails at the UN was pointless, the US wasn't present/won't be influenced by any UN decision. Then why did the US consulate issue a critique of the govt's proposed legislation?

ABC's grammatical standards are abysmal! "Digby Campbell caught up with the three men who rescued him for a beer in Darwin after a harrowing month at sea. (ABC News: Oliver Chaseling)" That was their motive for rescuing him? A beer?

They also sold us dependence!

ON candidate, lacking any ability for self-reflection, says nothing to see here, "I did not pass any opinion on women". "Responding to an article about a leaked video appearing to show former AFL player...groping a topless woman, Cr Smith wrote; "I'd be more worried if he didn't go in for a feel".

And Australia is tying itself to these monsters.

Amazing how an extremist country like Iran is stacking up brownie points against the so-called leader of the free world!

An alarm bell. Why isn't Canada in AUKUS?

In WA there's a shortage of house bricks. More lateral thinking is needed - by builders and planning departments. Who knows, may even stimulate a carbon abating hemp industry!

Discussion of interest rates is hysterical. It's currently in the band that provides some return for savers and isn't prohibitive for borrowers. It's the capital expense of the house itself that's the killer.

Rozner's own words "When asked by Guardian Australia whether he is still a member of the Liberal party, Rozner declines to answer but says: “I’ve been around for a long time – and my views and affiliations are well-known.”" show Fix Australia is a political group and electoral laws should apply.

"Australia's problem is the unequal distribution of economic resources much more than it is a shortage of them. If Australia is to address the frustrations that Rinehart so effectively channels, it will need to look beyond simplistic, if not hackneyed, right-wing populist claims about socialism..."

"She seems authentic!" The lack of critical thinking is depressing. Only looking at what's in it for me and be damned with the consequences mentality is easily manipulated by these populists.
