Like to say, opinions are not those of my employer, etc., but I'm self-employed.
Just throwing this out there.... 15-minutes cities is clearly getting social backlash.
But fuel price hikes are creating a steady increase in public transport use, and WFH enthusiasts.
Are we watching the magician's other hand ?
Ummm, hello ? isn't this just like the Bridge Toll, which was scrapped because paying the guys to collect it was more than the fee. * probably more as, apparently, my house is above average value.
Thanks @MayorWayneBrown .
So... my rates have to go up by ~7.9% * to cover the cost of the City Rail Link.. which doesn't come to the Shore, and I would have no use for if it did.
And, "$5.3 billion into essential services like pools, libraries, animal management, public transport and waste collection."
And rubbish collection was working perfectly fine as a 'User Pays' system when we bought Yellow Bags from the supermarket.
And this, "the residential parking permit ... is no longer recovering the full cost of administering the permit system." ...
@PilotNorm14@redpillb0t Personally, if I'd paid to have tonnes of toxic chemicals secretly sprayed on people by planes, I'd want my money back - if it just hung there in the sky for everyone to see.
@akafaceUS No. If you throw a child into a pool when they are distressed - they will assume it is punishment for something. And probably learn to deeply distrust you.
Florist is very apologetic; I asked for a refund.. but they have offered to resend roses OR replace with a gift basket.
What should I do ? Money or the Bag ?
Okay Internet, here's a question.
Wife went away last weekend break a friend - yes, I know on Valentines Day.. so I found the AirBnB she was in and had flowers sent there.. only they didn't arrive (still haven't, in fact)
Arrested for not saying a word.
A few years ago, I thought the world was going mad.. but now we're looking at "mad" in the rear view mirror with fond memories.
๐ฎ๐ช IRISH TEACHER ARRESTED AGAIN AFTER REFUSING TO USE "THEY" PRONOUN FOR STUDENT
Back in cuffs again. Enoch Burke, the Irish teacher whoโs already spent over 560 days in jail, was arrested again this morning outside Wilsonโs Hospital School.
Why? He wouldnโt call a male student โthey,โ as demanded by the school principal.
"This is all about transgender ideology, forcing it upon every school in the country.
They want silence, not debate. But my conscience will bring me back to this gate.
I was never told I had to renounce my Christian beliefs to do this job.
They can throw me in a prison cell, but they canโt force me to lie."
