Sorry that my views changed Nick.
I updated my views in response to the world around me - the Bondi jihadist massacre, nightly firebombing attacks in Australian cities by foreign crime gangs, nightly machete home invasions, constant jihadist massacres in European cities.
Refusing to update your priors in response to the evidence of your eyes and ears is stupid. What’s even the point of being left wing and progressive when permissive immigration policies keep producing atrocities? Am I just supposed to stick my head in the sand like you and pretend nothing is happening?
@Potstirrer111 Job interview:
I have many years experience
So you’ll know how to do the job?
Oh heavens no, every company I’ve ever worked for went bankrupt and every performance appraisal I’ve received has been overwhelmingly negative
So why should we hire you?
Because I have experience
Remember when NDIS came into play and suddenly every 12 year old boy has severe ADHD / autism?
Get ready for DV rates to skyrocket amongst the investor class.
Bullish scam divorce lawyers.
@rudiesbrother@Bender_Aus Erm, how is the loan underwritten by the Commonwealth.
They are paying the LMI for the 5%-ers.
Underwrite would be when everything topples at once and the govt has to bail out LMI providers
The Salvation Army released a report today stating that:
• 91% are skipping meals
• 60% are eating expired food
• 19% have eaten from bins
of Aussies seeking emergency relief support from them in the last 12 months.
And yet we also have:
• Serial sex offenders on 6 figure NDIS plans in prison with access to hardcore porn
• Criminal foreigners we don’t deport because they wouldn’t get the same welfare in their country of origin
• Members of ISIS settling back in Australia at massive cost for surveillance and reintegration
There really is no other way to put this – our priorities are completely messed up.
@SharestepAI@investingluc Trim winners, hold losers!
All jokes aside, we've all had that one stock...an old boss ex-Microsoft (2000s era) collected shares at $60 a pop. Crashed to $20 and even $14. When it regained to $30 he cut his losses and sold.
Told me if he held, he could have retired
The start-up and tech focus is BS - the budget hammers every single business and its employee owners. The incentive to work hard is being destroyed at all businesses in the name of Labor expanding the public service by 25% and paying for a government sector that is the largest share of the overall economy since WWII. It is highly regressive, stealth socialism. It is making once extraordinary Aussies very, very ordinary by global standards. We are rapidly going from world-class to cattle-class. From the Wonder Down Under to Asia’s Ibiza
Australia is the greatest country... a former Paratrooper successfully shames a serving Assistant Minister into doing the right thing, albeit after that serving Minister had tried other, much cheaper options.

Yes Jane, because you haven't grown up.
All children are lefties because the home is the one place where socialism works.
"From each according to their abilities, to each according to their need" is literally how healthy families function. A child is not able to pull their weight, so adults do it for them.
But the deal in a family is this: I'm going to do this for you today, tomorrow you're doing to do this for yourself, and after that you're going to do it for the next generation.
It's ok for a child to be dependent, even a 'But that's not fair' Marxist...Children are obsessed with 'fairness', with the equal distribution...
But it's not ok for a healthy adult to STAY dependent, to stay obsessed with the distribution. Being an adult means saddling up and becoming focussed on the PRODUCTION of wealth, pulling your weight, creating more than you consume, in fact creating enough not only for your own consumption but for that of your dependent children also.
You broke the deal. You stayed a lefty, a parasite, you want to take the effort and productivity of others and distribute it according to your version of equity and fairness rather than doing the work to create more and make the world a better place, and that makes you a parasite. You haven't grown up yet.
You think it's 'self serving' that some people want to keep the product of their own labour? Then what is it to think you have the right to STEAL the product of other people's labour? Tyranny wearing a mask of virtue is what it is.
@investingluc@investingluc what's your take on the Thomas Bravo ownership percentage?
I looked into this stock a year ago when $PANW acquired $CYBR but figured it's too risky based on what one owner could choose (or not choose) to do.
Solid tech however all rollouts are deployment hell.
