My Roman Empire is thinking how much the Great Hunger (famine) has hampered & changed Ireland so badly long-term that it still hasn’t recovered from over 1 million dying & 1 million emigrating.

Ireland is the *only* country in the world with a lower population now than the 1800s

[ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz @Israel_katz]

האתגר הגדול של ישראל לאחר שלב החזרת החטופים יהיה הריסת כל מנהרות הטרור של חמאס בעזה באופן ישיר ע"י צה"ל ובאמצעות המנגנון הבינלאומי שיוקם בהובלת ופיקוח ארה"ב.

זאת המשמעות העיקרית של מימוש העיקרון עליו סוכם של פירוז עזה ונטרול חמאס מנשקו.

הנחיתי את צה"ל להיערך לביצוע המשימה.

🚨 NEW: 58% of people support a "significant reduction in Australia's immigration numbers", according to a new Resolve poll

A cut is supported by a majority of Labor, Coalition and One Nation voters, while Greens voters (35% support, 32% oppose, 33% unsure) are split

How do you get to $30m net worth and not think to put a single cent of it outside of made up magic coins ?

This is degenerate gambling, it’s not investing

Its crazy how outright Racism is just straight up acceptable on this platform now.

Can Four Corners focus more on chasing the Australian taxpayers' billions? Plenty of scandal there!

Australian business investment as a proportion of GDP looks to have stalled out at an uncomfortably low level.

Not surprising really.

That stuff about $7,000 per post is becoming more believable.

@DaveTaylorNews I understand the outrage at this, it’s lazy and embarrassing, a failure of protocol.
I’d love to see this level of outrage however when building companies or healthcare operators charging insane fees for unnecessary workers at the governments expense.

one week ago, van jones said the reason people are pro-palestine is because of a paid propaganda campaign. today it’s revealed that he is a mentor in a paid zionist propaganda campaign

It is the soft advocacy of long term loans continues, at least the article highlights the increased costs over the loan term and the illusion of affordability improvements.

It seems this won't end until we have high LVR, long term mortgages for everyone and life's purpose is to be an annuity stream for lenders...

The fact this is even a question suggests something is skewiff with our housing here

[Yacine Mahdid @yacinelearning]

an ai product????

no no no no product

why would release a product?

if you show a product people will ask about benchmarks and it will never be enough

frontier labs that were the 100X becomes the 2X saas dog

but if you have no product you can say you building superintelligence

a potential pure play

@BenPhillips_ANU Luckily rent does eventually get capped with income. It’s the fact everyone is going to 10-15 inspections over multiple weekends to find a place when it was once not that hard. It’s a huge stress to go through that process once a year potentially, and to buy now seems impossible

[Michael Arbon @arbsmichael]

The "5% deposit” is a political myth.

Here’s the truth for a first home buyer in South Australia buying an established home for $900,000:
$900,000 purchase price
+ $43,330 stamp duty
+ $198 mortgage registration
+ $9,012 transfer fees
+ $1,200 conveyancing
+ $600 bank fees
+ $2,660 rates, water & other adjustments
= $957,000 total cost

Even if you meet the First Home Guarantee criteria (no LMI, 95% loan):
$855,000 loan amount
$102,000 deposit required from savings

That’s 11.3%, not 5%.

When politicians say, “you can buy a home with just 5% deposit”, what they really mean is “you’ll still need over 11%, plus taxpayers are guaranteeing your debt.”

This is not a housing fix. It’s another inflationary demand-side illusion dressed up as a solution.
