@Thebuttsmarn 'secret society' when its just the left wing equivalent of the think tank the institute of public affairs. So 'secret' that literally anyone can become a member
@RyuukuSensei people literally complained in amphoreus that there was too much puzzles in the story so they stopped, and its for the better, the start of amphoreus was much weaker than the rest excluding hyselins/cerydra part. People want the visual novel when playing story, not the gameplay
@kikaoldman@DiamondnKrystal@lesstenny Arrivals are almost back to 2018/19 levels, the issue is covid froze visa's + there was a double cohort of students in 22/23. Departures should increase over the next year or 2 as visas expire and aren't granted new ones after being on bridging visas.
@CraigMX2024@JEChalmers you think people wouldnt complain if these changes were already implemented in the budget? they would just make other arguments the big topic, you never start negotiations with your best deal.
@hankgreen Australia's new budget is actually doing this now, before there was a 50% discount on your marginal tax rate to your nominal gain if held over 1 year, but they are now changing it to a minimum 30% on your marginal tax rate for 100% of the real gain (indexed to inflation).
@hankgreen did you see that one of the programs cut were about the new world screw worm and now there are confirmed cases of it in texas and new mexico. So the US beef industry may be in trouble
@west_jimmy5537@Kynmarcher@henayuanxiang11@friendlyjordies well thats the lag, the visas that were granted during the prior policy havnt expired yet or they have expired but are currently in tribunal with a bridging visa to try and get on a new visa
