crazy how much racing has changed since the 'Ford vs Ferrari' days, back then drivers were basically building the cars, and now it’s full on tech, feels like something is missing with the execution

We’re not “anti-mining”. We’re pro-Australia getting a fairer long-term deal from our own wealth.
Higher targeted royalties on windfall profits? A proper national resources fund? Better domestic gas reservation?
What’s your fix? Let’s debate it properly.

Compare to Norway: they tax oil/gas at ~78% and built a sovereign wealth fund worth over $3 trillion. Benefits for generations.
We spend the windfalls on day-to-day budgets, rack up debt, and watch foreign shareholders cash in while energy prices stay high for Aussies.

They pay billions in tax + royalties. Rio Tinto, BHP love reminding us.
Fair enough they take the risk, build the mines, employ people. But here’s the rub: resources in the ground belong to the nation, not the boardroom. And too much of the upside still heads overseas.

Steal an apple → you’re a thief.
Steal a nation’s resources → you’re a corporation.
Australia is one of the most resource rich countries per person on the planet. Iron ore, lithium, gas, gold we’ve got it in spades. Exports forecast around $383 billion this year alone
A viral Chinese AI animation titled "Records of Feuds in Gold Flow Valley" (流金谷恩仇录) by CCTV.
It uses symbolic characters in wuxia style to tell a story set in a resource-rich valley.

Crazy how different the experience feels.
@SpaceX gives us crisp, immersive footage, you really feel like you’re there.
Then @NASA’s Artemis II cams… still incredible mission, just not the same viewing quality.
Would be unreal to see that same level of broadcast across both
We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

Someone blows up overnight on socials, next thing you know they’re getting charged and cancelled just as fast.
17h ago 7 News: NASA base camp $30B
15h ago: $20B
$10B swing in 2h.
If facts shift this fast, imagine wartime narratives. People pick sides on shaky info.
Accuracy > speed.
