I agree that the primary cause is demand vs supply. . But and this is a big BUT if the government does not destroy enough money via taxation, it is limited in the amount of new money it can create through services. . This is New Monetary Theory central premise. . Deficit spending drives inflation.

#auspol WHY? . Fuel prices are going thru the roof. . The government is spending more than they tax. . And the rich and large companies are not paying tax. . So the Reserve must raise rates. . The government must stop profligate spending and collect the fair share of tax from the rich.

And what about all the poor fucks who are living in cardboard boxes under bridges. . The ALP claim to govern for all people, but in reality, they only care about the property owning elite. . We need to house the homeless, not give them investment opportunities.

#auspol The last thing I want is a government by One Nation(ON). . But here is a thought, If the ALP were less shit, ON wouldn't be a problem. . If the ALP took the housing crisis, the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis seriously ON wouldn't be a problem.

#scam I know its amazing, I have been professionally using the internet since 1979, and I just received my first scam job ad. . Honestly, I am surprised it has taken this long. . Obvious red flag = insanely good remuneration and conditions. . If it is too good to be true, it usually is.

#auspol Social media asked me: Are you willing to give One Nation a go ? . I can emphatically and definitely say: . NO WAY ! . I do not trust those delusional fruitloops with a chook raffle, much less government. . The ALP are doing a shit job. The COALition is worse. . But Pauline. . Nah...

#ai #worldpol Frank Herbert in his fiction wrote about the Butlerian Jihad, where all thinking machines and sentient robots were destroyed. . Skynet(Terminator) is another alternative future. . There are other possibilities, perhaps a collaborative one, a synergy of man and machine.

The simple answer is more public housing. . We need a much, much larger stock of good quality, public owned, affordable rentals. . This would put downward pressure on privately owned rentals and the general real estate market. . Concentrate on housing people, not on investment opportunities.

I would wager the same things that cause 85% of Australians to NOT vote for the Greens. . The greens lack a strong economic focus and financial plan to fund their progressive agency. . Eat the Rich is not a long term viable proposition.

#auspol I am astounded / dismayed that so many Australians would contemplate voting for one nation. . I understand the disillusionment with the major parties. The distrust of the Greens. The general fear of voting for an unknown independent. . But. One Nation. Pauline... . Nah. . What do you do ?

By stifiling debate and fabricating consensus the ALP is driving a wedge between itself and the electorate. . The biggest single problem with the current government is that there is no opposition. . The COALition is a joke. One Nation even more so. . So we rely on the Teals to keep them honest.

My experience with the greens is that they mostly get it right and then they do something so insane that I question why I supported them. . They are constantly letting the quest for perfection destroy any possibility of getting a workable solution.

Sure it would raise money. But it doesn't reduce the carbon footprint. . Itds like saying we should tax child prostitution. . Burning fossil fuels is wrong. It should be stopped!

#auspol I am increasingly frustrated with the crocodile tears and faux outrage of the zionists as they desperately try to conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitisim. . Zionism, Christian Nationalism, anti-semitism are anathema as is any form of bigotry or racism. . End the genocide. Free Palestine.

If you are being stalked, harassed or threatened you should file a police report and get a restraining order. Sure it probably won't stop the creep, but it will give the police somewhere to start when they are investigating your murder. Downside, you are more likely to get caught for their murder.

Its only the truly stupid and the truly corrupt that think that people should pay for education. . Education benefits everybody, so why should anyone incur a debt in the pursuit of enlightenment. .

#auspol The only poll that counts is the election. . The rest are just a confection. . Sure 30% of the population might support PHON, but 70% don't, and are likely to put ON last. . NAZI propaganda is excellent and convincing but ultimately a lie that people see thru. . Give it 2 years...

#auspol #housing Australian Property has become a ponzi scheme. . The last to buy are expected to support the greed and entitlement of the early adopters. . It cant go on. . Homes are where you live and can not be wealth generating assets.

#auspol #housing The only way houses will become universally affordable if if they drop massively in value relative to the median wage. . Once upon a time the average house was worth 3 times the average annual wage and it took 20 years to buy it. . But along came greed and neo-con economics.

#auspol The thing about One Nation supporters is that most have drunk so much kool-aid, that no amount of haranguing, harassment or lecturing will change their opinion. . So don't. .
