This is so obvious it beggars belief; that encouraging the one industry that wasnโt suffering in Covid would do anything but put up prices.

@GingerGorman completely agree - if people undertake expensive, high-risk activities like this, they've got to put their own rescue procedures in place too.
On this day in 1989 I grabbed the video cassette containing all the famous pictures of the Tiananmen massacre inc the tank man & walked down to the Beijing Hotel lobby. A cop came over to arrest me but a burst of fire outside distracted him & I slipped past. We got the pictures out via Hong Kong.
@jack_toohey I know - it sucks. When we bought our house in the mid 90s we were able to bargain the owners down - the demand just wasn't there, and people were scared of high interest rates. A lot of apartment prices in Naarm have dropped recently, but it's still expensive in comparison.
I see everyone has decided to round out the week by being extremely and unjustifiably mean to Hannah Gadsby. Seems to be a delightful mix of New York snobbery and Australian Tall Poppy Syndrome.
