@SwireMountjoy@KAndaway@I_say_Toad@GrogsGamut The chart, produced by those who will stand to gain from misrepresenting reality, misrepresents reality.
First the only meme data relevant is indicated by red. Yellow is legacy, the rest is hot air. Then look at red to see the actual progress, eg UK's Hinkley is a costly dud.
@grofley @gcLaborista@scottsantens โฆis for benefit further down the road. Less poverty, less welfare, less police work, better health, better education, better work possibilities. UBI is investing in society's future. And everyone will benefit.
@grofley @gcLaborista@scottsantens No, it doesn't mean 'spend' per se, just as your restricted view of 'invest' doesn't.

@Geoff_Andrews__@simonahac Simon is a major supporter of the Teals who drawer their support from (ex-)moderate Liberal voters. The more immoderate the Libs become, the more likely the Teals will gain Lib seats. So with Simon I say, "go for it Libs: be more rabidly extremist", ie lose more support.

@Angelica196057 "Don't know? Vote NO"
"The voice is risky"
"The voice is racist"
"The voice represents elitists"
"The voice will charge you to go to the beach"
And a host of utter stupidity.
If you were Indigenous you would've been disgusted by the whole process.
