@JmarrMarr@clarkes Exactly! Kmart and Target exemplify this. It's funny that they warn us this would happen under communism, but it turns out it's just as true under capitalism.
The AFR Rich List shows a grotesque accumulation of wealth while millions of Australians struggle with the cost of living.
There are now 178 billionaires in Australia, 17 more than a year ago.
Australia doesn't have a wealth problem. Australia has a wealth distribution problem.
So weird that the government is happy to spend 2 billion $$$ a year for job providers with a 90% failure rate but will not #RaiseTheRate so people can afford their next meal
Peter Hollingworth died yesterday with his over half a million dollars a year GG pension intact. Survivors begged the government to remove it, telling them it mattered as a statement that the Govt does not reward men who covered for child abusers. They refused to act.
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?
When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?
They used to throw women in the water to see if they were witches. If they drowned, they were innocent.
Now they're saying the only abortion exception is if the woman's life is at risk. If she dies, she was at risk.
You can see the recurring flaw in the methodology.
Pauline Hanson’s failure to declare 5 trips on Gina Rinehart’s jet, including to Mar-a-Lago, are troubling on their own.
But now Gina is a major player in Australian gas, and Hanson last week voted against a 25% tax on gas exports, Australians should be sceptical.
@allenanalysis He sounds like my late father in law at his nursing home,with late stage dementia, telling me he planted all the established trees in the courtyard. He'd only been there for 3 months.
@miriam_farish@bts010619@DipshikhaGhosh Endo is a genetic autoimmune disorder. Thanks for proving why we need more research and a shit ton of education on these complex conditions.
@miriam_farish@bts010619@DipshikhaGhosh Hormones are present in every cell of our body. During menopause, when hormone levels begin to change, it impacts every cell. No amount of exercise or “clean eating” can alter this process. What an ignorant take
@abbah_mwamburi@DipshikhaGhosh When seeking research funding, there are established methods to secure it. However, the decision-makers overseeing funding allocation remain predominantly men, which means women often face obstacles in obtaining the necessary funding. Those obstacles are men!
The right wing papers are saying the pension age needs to be raised to 75.
I counter, the number of billionaires needs to be reduced to 0.
That will affect 0.00006% of people, and they will still be far too rich.
But it will pay for pensions, healthcare, housing and much more.
