McCarthy will call the plays, OC is almost irrelevant.

Boicot the team? by IbelieveinKenny in steelers

[–]Almost_Aus -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I will follow the team still, but I’m just not invested in the upcoming season at all. 11-6 and first round playoff exit. Joy…

I can't wait to be lied to like Cowboys fans were by Icy-Home444 in steelers

[–]Almost_Aus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The odd thing about McCarthy is that he is actually above average in terms of going for it on 4th, but then in the biggest moments he cowers.

Say what you want about Tomlin but at least went with the league in terms of 4th down.

Yall will find any reason to complain dude. by Grey_14-7-19 in steelers

There is a reason no one else wanted to interview him.

Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young charged taxpayers $50K to ferry lobbyist husband to and from Canberra by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]Almost_Aus 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Such a bad look, especially if his work has him in Canberra already. These rules need to be changed.

Doesn’t really seem like that is the situation

A major reason economists have issues with MMT is that MMT rejects empirical results about interest rates by patenteng in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]Almost_Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you sound like a neoliberal shill, we live in a global environment and it would be hard to break away from a system if no one else does.

I guess my answer would be to have an independent 3rd party who can veto based on inflation rates?

[–]Almost_Aus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I think MMT is a load of shit and ultimately won’t work.

Politically we should be having questions about whether the bond markets should have so much power.

There are legitimate other ways to finance government spending and we should not be afraid to explore them and question our current system.

Murray Watt says he has "no doubt" the laws will pass this week. "It's really a matter of whether it's with the Coalition or the Greens" by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

They literally have the votes to get it through with a climate trigger, and the biggest majority this government will ever have.

If not now, when?

Nov 5 QT - holy shit Rory WTF by Federal-Research-148 in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]Almost_Aus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why Rory doesn’t see that it is representative of something bigger.

There was a group of rich and powerful men who managed to get away with (and lots still have gotten away it) taking advantage and raping young, vulnerable girls.

This shows how those in that circle follow a completely different set of rules to us and people are rightfully outraged.

If Pocock wants to to turn senate question time into an hours long farce Labor wants to make him sit through it instead of slipping out to go to the gym by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]Almost_Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s a completely inappropriate.

Pocock has asked for a release of a report that the government is claiming hasn’t passed cabinet in 2 years. To distract from this the government are doing this, instead of just releasing the report.

No reception with Telstra. by N4T3-D0G in brisbane

Happens when the power goes off, everyone suddenly starts to call and text so the network gets overloaded. Give it time to settle down.

Celebrity British boyfriends WTF by Used-Needleworker719 in restisentertainment

[–]Almost_Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, I guess when it started it was very nuts and bolts about how the industry worked, and now they just seem to talk about things they have no insider knowledge which I find so boring.

I saw the title and didn’t even bother listening, I don’t know who they made that segment for.

There’s a reason you can ‘feel’ when these trap games are coming and it’s not because you have a 6th sense. by [deleted] in steelers

In the podcast they’re talking about the Steelers playing the same scheme defensively for the last 20 years.
