When even the conservative business press in Australia is questioning the U.S. as an ally you would think Labor would rethink the utter boondoggle that is AUKUS. How about it @albomp.bsky.social?

the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 5hEurope needs to stop buying U.S. defence equipment and develop its own. The U.S. cannot be trusted. Greenland and Ukraine have both proven that comprehensively. And no it won't get better when Trump leaves. Congress could neuter Trump tomorrow if it wanted. The GOP is now a fascist party. 040
the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 5hWe know October 7th happened. We also know Netanyahu knew about it and allowed it to happen to give himself an excuse for his genocide. So you can post to your heart's content. Nobody is buying your propaganda. 100
the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 5hAnd obviously the range around town (where most people would use it) much better. 000
the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 5hHey Gavin did you get a sense of what the energy use around town vs highway was? I imagine the range on the highway on a 1.8m talk bread box would be much worse than around town where it gets some benefit from regen braking and nowhere near as much of an impact from wind resistance. 100
the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 5hYes. It's actually very easy to pay for it. A) Cancel the boondoggle that is AUKUS, given its a pipedream and the U.S. can't be trusted. B) Contract with South Korea, Japan, Sweden or Germany for a larger fleet of MUCH cheap AIP subs. C) Fund universal childcare with the huge funds left over. 220

the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 17hBut those restrictions would make it very unattractive to own a pick up truck. 000
the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 17hYeah right. To be honest pick up trucks are the jack of all trades, master of none. Not great at being a usable commercial vehicle and pretty terrible as passenger vehicles. Would love for Oz not to encourage their use through the dispensation they get around emissions and fringe benefits tax. 100
the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 17hBut yes OpenAI and Anthropic's mooted valuations are absurd. These things are the WeWork of the AI bubble. 000

the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 23hHow is this even a question? The U.S. is a hostile power to Europe and the rest of the free world. It stopped being an ally when it re-elected a fascist. 090

the-oc.bsky.social @the-oc.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This is true. But Europe will end up buying a lot more ICE gasoline and diesel cars than they otherwise would have in the interim. They should have instead agreed to subsidise European manufacturers to shift production to EVs faster. 000
