@David_Elia_ @Hostplus we're helping 250,000 Hostplus members get paid compliantly and manage their superannuation in better ways, why would you want to shut this down???https://t.co/1Bnvww5B1C

[Robert Dunn @rob_dunn01]

@bnthompson It's not every day that we ponder if our Super is doing its job. Life's big career moments like a new job, a bump in pay, or taking some time off work are some of the few times Aussies really take a hard look at our Super. So why would we put up barriers at these crucial times?

1/ Hostplus wants to put us out of business for being too good for members. Share and fight for competition #superchoice #Ausfinance. A thread… https://t.co/jZWMWH2Pri

@Qantas can you please explain why it takes over a month and 3 follow up calls to have no emails and no progress on our valid $9k refund of a Flex fare. Why offer Flex fairs with refund included if your not going to honour your product T&Cs?

For all cohort lovers... interesting paper on COVID impact on "consumer behavior" in US. Note (1) sub vs. non-sub and (2) durable vs. non-durable category trends. Bottom line, data says that long-run effects are mostly null / negligible.😑

🙏@d_mccar - is there data for LatAm?

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.

The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

With wages already charging ahead there’s absolutely no justification for burdening Australian SMEs with new collective bargaining laws.

Investors and Policymakers: Heed the Lesson Of the UK's Fiscal Blunder. (1/5)

[Alf @MacroAlf]

Since 2000, the US experienced a cumulative 74.4% inflation.

Median nominal wages grew just a bit more than that.

Which means that in real terms childcare, medical care and education became much more expensive.

But if you only buy TVs and computers, you're doing great :)

When to invest in "marketplaces" - Look for newly standardized data and new vectors of trust and transparency.

If the multiverse is real, I wonder if a universe exists where dreams are real and reality is an illusion.

Clearly none of us realised just how upset ScoMo was about that nickname. He just wanted to be more than “Scotty from Marketing”

Powell hikes 75 basis point and yet Nasdaq & Bitcoin are going to the moon.

What the heck?

While I disagree with the unfolding market narrative here, let me try to explain why we are witnessing such a rally.

This is a fantastic analysis on software from William Blair.

Observations if this pullback resembles past:
- near the bottom for sw val’n despite growth deterioration coming
- enterprise to suffer far less, smb far more (duh)
- once bottomed, stocks should rise fast in ntm

After repeated attempts by NASA to make us believe we are insignificant, most people retain the ability to think they’re the centre of the universe.
