If employers go into “hibernation”, what about working people? Are we meant to bear the brunt of the cost on $550/week while employers are subsidised? We need an 80% wage subsidy to allow us to “hibernate” without massive economic & job security stress #covid19australia
"Struck me kinda funny
Kinda funny yeah indeed
How at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe."
B. Springsteen 'Reason To Believe'
If you are too happy right now or not at all depressed I can heartily recommend Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska album. It captures our current zeitgeist superbly.
PSA: DO NOT LISTEN TO SPRINSTEEN'S NEBRASKA IF YOU ARE ALONE IN A DARK ROOM*
* Warning void if you have a Smiths CD
@PaulHenry524 It was heartening to see the methheads and shardettes sharing cigarette bumpers and gansta handshakes at 5am at Richmond rail this morning. That's gonna improve the gene pool for sure!
Actual quotes from my shift today where I saw QUEUES OUTSIDE S GUN SHOP IN WESTERN SYDNEY:
"There is no virus. This is Agenda 21 being rolled out"
"How stupid is ScoMo. Why didn't he just round up all the Chinese in February and deport them."
I know you're all very concerned about the impact of the Caronavirus and I respect that, but THERE WERE QUEUES OUTSIDE A GUN SHOP IN WESTERN SYDNEY PEOPLE. GUNS. LOCKDOWNS. DISRUPTION. Maybe you're all ok with that but, me, call me paranoid, that scares the living shit outta me.
@bruce_haigh Billy Hughes ran a government that prosecuted WW1. The losses from that devastated communities across Australia. Ppl say this govt is the "worst ever" or Abbott, even Howard. But they have s way to go to catch Hughes for sheer evil bastardry. Hughes was a cunt.
"Why don't we just shoot everyone who's got it. That'd clear it up pretty quick."
"Can you believe they've doubled all the dole bludgers pay bc of this Chinese bug?"
@PaulHenry524 "Coz the gummint gonna try and bring in socialism an blame it on a Chinese wog " Actual quote from s living Australian about two o'clock this afternoon in my taxi in Bligh Park in western Sydney.
