the performance of quantum resistant bitcoin today makes me think this is a big deal

@AlboMP Punishing stock investments for young people while retaining tax benefits for older property owning class is a straight slap in the face.

This is horrible policy that disincentivises productivity.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

They can't do anything to the truly rich so they come after the working professional class instead.

Yeah bro; force every young ambitious lawyer, doctor, engineer, director, manager, tradie to work just enough to cover their mortgage and some spending. No need for investments. Let's punish the young and ambitious for wanting to get ahead. That's a great policy.

All this will do is drive young intelligence out of the country - long term negative in terms of civilizational growth.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

That's exactly the point.

As a young doctor; you want people like me to work 5-6 days a week. There is no point punishing the 5-10% of professional High earners who work highly skilled fields.

These people have the capacity to work less which means less benefit to society as a whole.

Bracket creep needs to go.

Why would I spend the next 30 years working 60 hour weeks if 30 hours of that is taken right away. May as well work only 30 hours so I only have to give up 10 hours to the government.

There needs to be a fair exchange for the 30 hours I could just spend with family / working on myself then.

It not equality to take a disproportionate amount of ones time in the form of earnings.

I believe in fair taxation.

This is plain unfair and disheartening.

I have worked till 8 pm 5-6 days a week for the last 3 months - I would love to see the sun when I leave work and I miss it. I'm not depressed; I love what I do but I see the cost to my family. My wife understands because I'm doing it to try and offset our fairly new first home mortgage- modest family home in modest suburb yet with rising interest rates ; an eye watering monthly payment.

I see around 25-30 people a day. Most are bulk billed.

So tell me ;

Why is my sacrifice worth less?

Why should people like me be made to give away 30 hours of our time weekly for the next 30 years?

Would you rather that people like me work less and thus see less patients ?

All politics aside. I'm genuinely trying to understand what would the incentive to sacrifice that extra 30 hours a week if you are unfairly taxed for it.

The pessimist in me thinks that AGI and it's benefits including robots will be access limited by costs and this continuing to separate the classes.

It's inherent to human psychology; I agree. People need to feel better than each other.

The classes will be separated by which tier of AGI they can afford from supercorp Google/openai/xyz.

The poor will have Temu robotics.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@stashdro @TheRealDavey2 Elaborate

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

lol

My mates and I are doctors in our 20s/30s/40s starting off our careers.

Absolutely everyone is gobsmacked at the budget changes.

Genuinely feels like our generation will get punished for working smart or hard.

None of us own investment properties yet - what’s the point now?

How do we get ahead now?

What was the financial incentive to sacrifice our 20s to train?

It feels like all the worst aspects of communism with none of the benefits…..

No incentivised housing/travel/childcare for doctors

No one in my group is having kids

Yet our alcoholic patients are on their 4th or 5th - supported via government programs

What a joke
Speedrunning civilisational demise

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@vanessaghobson Haha can't go out because we can't afford it. Can't flirt at work because it's "unprofessional". Such is life for millennials/gen X

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@stashdro @TheRealDavey2 What made you come to this conclusion?

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

Excellent example of using the ahpra complaint system to lodge vexatious complaints in order to shut people up.

I did not abuse nor discriminate. I'm calling out people taking advantage of a system built for the truly unfortunate.

It is reasonable to expect the capable to work and contribute alongside the rest of us.

Just because you are offended doesn't make you right.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@BeamRider100 Hahaha they do
Never before in human history has this happened I think
They will write about this phenomenon in history books

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

I speak an unkind truth.

If you are paralyzed (congenital or accidental); I'm sorry. My comments do not pertain to you. The disability schemes were created for such circumstances.

If you have a "disability" in the sense where you can work but feel like you can't you are just taking advantage of the wokeism gone mad. Note that a lot of the working population struggles with depression anxiety migraines chronic pain neuropathy and various ailments - they just push through it

In my experience with *most* people on support programs compared to the working cohort - the difference isn't the disease but the mindset of the person themselves.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

Ffs that's nauseating
All that punishment to the productive
And barely touches the ndis hahahahaha
What a bloody joke; this has to be a simulation

I now see the parallels when I used to read history thinking why on earth previous civilizations made mistakes they did

We are the same 🫠

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

So you have four working limbs
Which government program(s) are you on?

You were in low paid work mostly as a consequence of your choices throughout life.

The rest of us should not have to be punished for that.

Now obviously that doesn't include everyone who is in an unfortunate position. Some people truly got there due to forces beyond their control but a good portion got there due their own personal choices throughout life.

There are consequences to actions. This is a rule of life.

To punish the ones who made the right choices in order to cushion the ones that didn't messes with the fabric of our society.

What happens to my 2000 patients if I decide to just chill at home when I'm going through a depressive episode or when my slipped disc flares up?

If we all made the same choices you did: there would be no funded safety net for you right now.

Be grateful instead of outraged.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@QandAinPublic @mrcoolguy8888 I simply don't understand why they are doing this. It's actively drowning the innate entrepreneurial spirit in humans.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@peacenicsta @mrcoolguy8888 Do you have four working limbs ?

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@peacenicsta @mrcoolguy8888 I can't list every skilled occupation in a tweet; it's clearly implied. Obviously teachers are part of what makes society function.

Stop the outrage based on an assumption on your part.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@toly @blknoiz06 @paulg Still using mine and posting from it now
Very comfortable to hold while laying on the couch

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@mrcoolguy8888 Chill bro
I'm talking about the entire thing:
About the mandatory taxes and removal of cgt discount on all investments

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

@walkawayAUS There is a running joke amongst the group about this.

We know it. We see it.

[Dr. Grey @Silverback_MD]

Saw a patient.

Woman in her 20s with an autosomal dominant genetic abnormality that has a 50% chance of being passed down.

Newly pregnant.

Had a bender over the weekend - over 15 drinks each day.

Fetus only 5 weeks old. Highest amount of DNA damage at this stage. Undetectable with current tech.

Explained that her genetic condition NOR alcohol fetal syndrome has no way of being detected prior to birth.

The kid would potentially have a hard life.

Stunted Neuro developmentally from birth due to the individual / personal choices of its parents.

Will unlikely contribute to society

She doesn’t have a concept of such hardship- there has always been a helping hand for her personal bad choices via Centrelink, DSP, NDIS

Plans on having the kid.

Father never attends appointments- is a drunk himself.

Meanwhile…
Entire group of doctors in my group chats putting off kids because we are simply too exhausted working 12 hour days and no “feeling” of getting ahead due to taxes, insurance payments, costs of running a practice.

I wonder how many young professionals are in the same boat.

Evolution is rolling over in its grave.

Why are we promoting the procreation of the subpar in society while punishing our smartest and most productive?

Where does this future lead?

Is this an unkind truth that needs to be discussed?

How long will we ignore the obvious staring us in the face ?

Feels like some sort of collective societal delusion we are all going along with.

This is how civilisations collapse I suppose.
