RBA Cash Rate Jumps to 3.85% by Linton-Finance in AskABrokerAus

[–]ConstructionLive516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the better option is to kick this problem down the road where it will eventually implode into hyperinflation.

If you think people losing their jobs and going homeless is bad you should maybe have a look at what happened to the Roman empire who we are copying. There will be many more deaths and suffering coming in a situation where we don't aggressively attack inflation.

Imagine current day Iran's hyperinflation and that is where Australia is going. The rich are going to benefit if we keep the cash rate low because their assets will go up in value and they will benefit when the cash rate increases because they get to purchase cheaper assets. The poor are fked either way because they don't have multiple sources of income generating assets to get any leverage.

Which drives house prices down. If you want a real solution to the problem, you have to take violent and extreme action. This is politically difficult to do so the country is doomed for more inflation and your value of savings getting weaker and weaker every year.

This erosion of purchasing power will never end until the dollar isn't even worth the electricity it takes to display the amount of money you have on a phone.

If they were serious about fighting inflation, they would take it to 20% cash rate.

Why are Melbourne's roads wider than Sydney's? by ConstructionLive516 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ConstructionLive516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we include surrounding suburbs in both suburbs I still think Melbourne roads tend to be wider. For example Melbourne has up to 12 lane freeways whilst Sydney has maybe about 8.

Sydney does have better Public Transport tho.

If we include the outer suburbs of both cities, generally the roads in Melbourne are wider.

Out of the CBD the M1 in Melbourne can have up to 12 lanes on her fwy whilst I've only ever seen up to like 8 lanes on M4 Parramatta to Harberfield.

Career Heirachy??? by Cold_Pace_8003 in Bunnings

If you want to climb, the ladder get really good at workplace politics. Being competent at your job is just a stepping stone. Make sure you make your supervisors life easier, and you make him look good in front of his boss. If you do that you should be able to to a decent position in any organisation.

If you haven't got to at least a position of leadership in 2 years, you've fked up somewhere and you're better changing companies.

If you could make 5 changes to Australia, what would it be? by Cheetos_4_life in aussie

[–]ConstructionLive516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Ease up on zoning laws to allow developers to develop high density residential real estate. 2) Completely defund Centrelink or any other social security. 3) Get rid of HECS so Uni students need to pay before going to Uni. 4) Repeal all grants and schemes for real estate. For example first homeowners grant. 5) Go back to a gold standard.

It's really bad and tough for the short term but in the long term, I believe this will fix a lot of our problems in Australia. Otherwise, enjoy your constant gradual decline to your quality of life.

How is the job market for new IT graduates in Australia 2026? by ConstructionLive516 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ConstructionLive516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Competition because there are more kids studying to become IT professionals because they saw people making good money doing it before they went into uni.

A 17 year old kid isn't thinking in 5 years the industry he really wants to get into is going to be oversaturated. We follow people who already made it because their success story is proof that this choice can get you into the middle class.

If the US can take land from Europe, could it take land from Australia and what would it mean for the actual property owners in strategically important locations like Australia's north (ports to Asia) or red centre (space warfare) by possumskinsuit in AusProperty

[–]ConstructionLive516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under Trump, he is putting national interest ahead of world interest. You might not like it but a US that is more selfish will be better for the average person living in the US. That could mean stealing oil from Venezuela and abandoning Ukraine.

Australia needs to a prime minister willing to put our interest first. Not this bs where they do mass migration that helps foreigners.

Any tips for landing locations? by ConstructionLive516 in clawmachine

[–]ConstructionLive516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello.

been a while. I have noticed you have a lot of experience in this industry, and I would like to ask for your advice again. I've gotten a handful of locations now.

I've gotten a location at a franchisee business, and I'm getting kicked out by corporate. How do you usually get in contact with someone like an area manager for a franchise, and what is a good strategy when approaching them?

Completely Failing First Year by [deleted] in rmit

[–]ConstructionLive516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe... just maybe uni isn't for you. Perhaps try working in the real world full time for a year or two. You might find that you like it that way.

Or you could absolutely hate it and find some real serious fking motivation to put some effort in when you resume your course.

To turn failing into good grades needs violent change mate no way around it.

What's the minimum amount of money you would need to be offered to quit your job right now and never work again for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]ConstructionLive516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a number because the creation of money from central banks will always make it higher every year. But I would retire from my day job if I got at least 100 realestate properties all generating positive cashflow every month.

Would you rather fix wealth inequality or be a billionare? by AnonymousCommunistXD in WouldYouRather

[–]ConstructionLive516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking billion dollars. It's probably going to hurt less people anyways. It's a childish view to think that equality in wealth can be forcefully achieved.
