@Sarini44 @4mambo Each jurisdiction in the USA, state and county all impose their own - often unique sale taxes.

That AU has a flat 10% across the country doesn’t mean AU imposes a tax fundamentally different to what the US does for all goods, inc. from AU.

@IslamInvasion @YoungTradeWA @patcondell Wow, quite the prep talk he gives himself in the mirror before leaving the house each day.

@Miranduran420 @timruss2 I’d argue not knowing what Arabic numerals are, highlights problems w/ the education system as a whole.

That people responded with jeers about being a moron, or idiot, reflect the knee jerk anger of the original reply.

What we write shapes public discourse, for good or bad

[James Ribeiro Duthie, Social Ecologist @JRD_75]

@Miranduran420 @timruss2 Sigh, your knee-jerk reaction is the real issue. Sure, lots of folk won’t know that the numerals we use are Arabic numerals, just as the language most widely used in the USA is English, not ‘American.’

That you didn’t pause to ask what Arabic numbers actually are is the issue

@Paul__Templeton @Ken66903608 @MikeCarlton01 You know Fascism is on the extreme opposite side of the political spectrum than communism, right?

We have still retain some elements of a social democratic system, the PBS & Medicare,- though watered down, but we have moved away from SD over the last 40 years not towards it

@dealtry13 @MikeCarlton01 @colonelhogans Sending young people to Ukraine? Um, where are you Russia? N. Korea?

@RyanWil62993886 @marquisau @farrm51 Soooo…. Anyone can be targeted and shot at while not posing a threat to person or property?

Not sure you know much about the US constitution, Champ.

Amazing how many claim anyone non-MAGA is a Marxist or communist or whatever and should be targeted in every wat possible

@Brinkysue @Peter_Fitz The guy who would go out of his way in a low key manner to say hi to and thank workers such as cleaners, kitchen hands etc.

Comments like that indicate you are conflating education and intelligence with being elitest.

[James Ribeiro Duthie, Social Ecologist @JRD_75]

@GdVarv @DeanChill @Peter_Fitz The USA situation is very different

Having brought it up, Albanese was 100% correct stating the existing Medicare urgent health clinics (87 in operation w/ +50 more funded in FY25/26) the new 1800 MEDICARE phone line only require a medicare card as they are 100% bulk billed

@ProudLeftyHatr @Ausbobsmit So very Christian of you

Also, if you think the P.M. is a communist you really hsve no idea what the term means.

Also, if you think that’s communism, not sure what your take on a particular historical Jewish guy from present day Palestine who inspired a world religion would be

@TonyShepherd4 @MikeCarlton01 I think your description of Angus ‘Jam Land’ Taylor, is accurate. And I’m no fan of the Senator, but the remark about her ethnicity doesn’t help, and it’s typical of what we would expect of Newscorp - i.e. towards Stan Grant.

It’s not appropriate, whoever it’s towards.

@xskinn I guess it’s a step up from “Peter isn’t a Monster!”

@AxelEkland @MChandlerMather Thank you for your well articulated and thought out contribution to the dialogue

[Max Chandler-Mather @MChandlerMather]

The ABC has written an article on housing and 'how young people are shaping the election' without mentioning the Greens once.

The last quarterly Newspoll for 18 - 34yr olds:
Greens: 28%
Labor: 31%
L/NP: 28%

Seems strange to exclude the Greens

@nadine_jasper @WarOnTheRocks I forget the exact ratio, but a decade or so ago the MOD, argued against cuts to UK foreign aid. Making the point that £1 spent on in aid saved on average over £100 in military spending

@Christo68496882 @BerylGale @KarenElke9074 @KosSamaras @Accent_Research Great to post, but example of why you think that please,

[James Ribeiro Duthie, Social Ecologist @JRD_75]

@heath9069 @KosSamaras @Accent_Research Um, I’m guessing you don’t actually know what Marxism is - not the meme version from Fox / Sky etc. But actual Marxism, much less be able to give an example of ‘Brainwashing.’

If I’m wrong, enlighten me

@brokeokie68 @TodMcvicker @joncoopertweets Hey, not having a go at you here, just offering context to why Zelensky is dressed that way. When Russia invaded 🇺🇦 in 2022. Zelensky chose not wear a nice suit or tux whatever the occasion. It’s to reinforce to those he meets, that things are not normal, his country is at war.

[James Ribeiro Duthie, Social Ecologist @JRD_75]

@SimeySmith @TruthHurtsNow_0 @AlboMP It never happened. Stop being so bloody gullible.

The head of ASIO has already given testimony to the Senate on this topic. Look it up.

BS detection 101, if you read something and it provokes a strong reaction check whether it is true or not.
