@AusMigrantPrint@TMFScottP Most wind farms are going on already cleared land, and the blades only moved by trucks once per turbine installed. And many other electricity generating tech, needs contstant mining.
@michaelqtodd It assumes home is paid off doesn't it? We don't have the right system for the people now who won't be able to buy or now didn't buy or bought and divorced or whatever. It's not good.
@taipan168 Hell even I don't like the 30% tax on CG on shares. If young ppl are actually buying and selling shares they shouldn't be taxed any more than normal tax rate. Getting rid of the discount is not as bad as also adding a flat tax to it.
@taipan168@disco___cat Yep, always cheaper to buy, except in limited circumstances. The earlier the better, more life without housing costs after paid off.
@TMFScottP@apopheniaracing Heck, I had good savings because of understanding compound interest, but if I'd understood how much of a cheat code an affordable mortgage was I'd have bought earlier!
