Amazon just 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.

Hollywood myth about Rome proven true
A stunning discovery on an ancient Roman skeleton of a man who suffered a brutal death has finally confirmed this popular Hollywood trope.
'Perfect': Nespresso machine plunges to low priceCoalition frontbencher Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s image features in paid social media ads launched by the conservative campaign group Advance, which also calls for an end to public funding for ceremonies and for their use to be scaled back.

One ad, run by Advance with an image of the senator, described the ceremonies as “wasteful and divisive” and claimed they ignored “the real issues”. The group has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on social media ads during the election campaign.

“It’s purposefully designed to make you feel like a stranger in your own country,” the ad said. “But these activist-led ceremonies must end.”

“Are you sick and tired of being welcomed to your own country? This is YOUR chance to change things.”

Price and Advance were contacted for comment and asked for their response to the booing of acknowledgments at Anzac Day services.

While Price has previously criticised welcome to country ceremonies, it is not clear whether she authorised Advance to use her image on the ad, which seeks to make them an election issue.
