Rip the bandaid off! Get this shit closed down and be done with it.

You would think so, but companies generally believe that they own the right to your full potential output - not just the tasks that they set you.

Somehow the "everybody has the right to an opinion" message got applied to objective topics

You don't get kids from the asshole...

I assume they want the states to have full autonomy over their education for starters. RIP kids in the south, they'll never even be taught how badly they've been screwed.

Humanity is a shithole. Social media is a cross-section.

Fuck the Olympics. This stinks of a way to sterilise the city of anything that isn't new, shiny, plasticky, shit. Let them stay.

He's pretending to be obscenely rich while he's just quite rich.

I actually really liked season four in its original format - where you saw the story from one person's perspective and then later saw it from another's. The way the story lines intertwined was really good IMO. If you watch it now then you get the recut version where it's all in chronological order and it's just weak.

It's well known that interest rates cause the unemployment level to rise, the RBA governor even covered it in a speech recently (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/22/rba-reserve-bank-australia-unemployment-inflation) and they have a page explaining it (https://www.rba.gov.au/education/resources/explainers/nairu.html).

Even though it's been suggested and documented that our current inflation issues are driven by corporate price rises and lingering pandemic supply issues, the government outsources the responsibility for interest rates to the RBA - but the only tool they have is monetary policy.

Related: it's shown that full employment benefits everyone, but it benefits the least advantaged most https://grattan.edu.au/news/when-unemployment-falls-disadvantaged-workers-benefit-most/ so there really is a dichotomy between corporate profits and social wellbeing.

We are generally taught that there's a balancing act going on between inflation and interest rates, but that's not really true. There's a balancing act going on between inflation and unemployment - and interest rates are the way to control unemployment. When the government says that inflation is too high what they're saying is that too many people have money and the way to fix it is to get a few tens or hundreds of thousands of them fired.
