@ausvstheagenda Good to know the high asset pensioners won’t be impacted.

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@AirBreather1980 @TMFScottP it is possible for the house price drop to be greater than the tax increase on shares so the average young person might still come out ahead.

fwiw i think it's bad policy.

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@AustRepublican @Potstirrer111 @parnellpalme I would agree with you the main problem the gov has is a spending problem.

It's hard to fix as not enough people care when the gov is spending other peoples money.

Sadly, the solution to this does seem to be equal misery but it is in the hope of future equal joy.

@AustRepublican @Potstirrer111 @parnellpalme Every year my tax rate changes bro. Don’t know why some reason some people think they should be exempt from arbitrary capriciousness.

Maturing is realising that absolutely nothing of substance is happening here.

A false pressure valve is being released, to reset public anger so as to buy additional years of time to implement an agenda that was decided long ago, elsewhere. The frontman is utterly expendable.

@Alonzo_CTHG @PinguCapital It’s much easier to ignore the damage done by rising house prices

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@SirToshi_Nakamo @AlanKohler GDP growth is 2.5%...

Wages growing at 5% for 10 years without putting the money printer on overdrive would really be something.

On top of that there needs to be some sort of miracle where houses dodge 100% of the inflation.

Then a 50 year old will be able to buy!

@Woodygocats59 @ellymelly @xanderatch Idk man why don’t they do a good policy like 0 CGT for all people with under 1M in assets (PPOR included).

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@ellymelly @xanderatch I actually worked for a startup that was centered around this whole concept. Funny how myopic people are.

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@Edtechx @ellymelly There are plenty of them, but are you implying that if it only raises tax on a few the unfairness doesn’t matter?

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@gigabaseddd @Partisangirl I fully agree, but would be surprised if it’s enough to make one think that labor or liberal are the better party.

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@JOHN54379832 @richardhirschs1 @peter_tulip No -> this approach is locking an entire generation out of home ownership.

It cannot stand.

Tulsi Gabbard didn't release the Fauci files to get justice. She released them to demoralize you while crowning herself a hero for people too lazy to ask one question. Why now? Why her last day?

Because the cage was already double-locked and she knew it.

Lock one. The statute of limitations on Fauci's cleanest perjury count ran out on May 11. He sat in front of Congress in 2021 and swore the NIH never funded gain-of-function research at Wuhan. That was the case. Rand Paul screamed about the deadline for weeks. Nancy Mace screamed about it. The DOJ sat on its hands and let the clock hit zero. The last window closes in July. It's almost gone too.

Lock two. Biden preemptively pardoned Fauci on his last night in office. So even if the clock hadn't run out, he walks. There was never going to be a trial. Not now, not ever.

Gabbard knows all of this. Her staff knows all of this. She waited until the man was untouchable by two separate failsafes, then strolled out the door and handed you the receipts like she just cracked the case. That's not courage. That's a magician showing you the trick after the show's over and taking a bow.

You're not getting accountability. You're getting a highlight reel. You learn just enough truth to feel something, then watch nothing happen, on purpose. That's the entire function. Outrage with no exit. Knowledge with no remedy. They want you informed and powerless, because a powerless informed population is easier to manage than an ignorant one.

If you're celebrating this, you're one of two things. You don't understand the process, or you're helping run the con. There is no third option.

And anyone who points to this stunt as a reason to back Tulsi for higher office should be disregarded on the spot. Not debated. Disregarded. Falling for the same trick twice is not a personality. It's not a badge. It's a disqualification.

I get that people make mistakes. I get that some of you just woke up. Fine. But the technocracy isn't waiting for you to finish your learning curve. The clock ran out years ago and we cannot keep handing the microphone to people who found the fight yesterday and want a medal for showing up.

We already lost three years to this exact play. Theater, delay, applause, nothing. I am not losing three more.

@bcg1976 @truthbacker @TopherField Lots of $10 shortcuts end up causing $10k problems later on. This is unbelievably common with water leakage in new builds.

Some things also can’t be fixed later on e.g you can’t add a window to an apartment with no natural light.

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@TopherField Generally agree with you topher but the problem is the market isn’t well functioning.

Apartments too close to adjoining buildings or without any natural light are a near permanent stain where they are built. These all end up sold anyway due to the obscene demand.

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@SirToshi_Nakamo @AlanKohler Over time means people will be 50 by the time they buy a home. We need drops.

[BowTiedStocks @bowtiedstocks]

Not the prisoners dilemma but the RBA dilemma:

[Rippler @rippler_t]

@GoldMagikarp42 @headinthebox The thing is that reading code sucks inversely to your skill as a programmer. The scientific method is a fallback for something you don’t understand, not something that can’t be understood.

Like most things in life those with low skill ruin it for everyone.
