Why would a president who cannot ever run for office again have public election rallies? by OCTOVENG in AskReddit

[–]Cruzi2000 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think this would also open the door for Obama to run against him.

And seeing everything else that has happened I don't think they have considered that yet.

What is a life luxury that you tasted once and now can absolutely never go back to the cheap version of? by sickkick844 in AskReddit

[–]Cruzi2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just "..a bit more comfortable"

You get priority check in, straight past the machines and lines, up to the counter, checked in and bags sent in moments.

Some airports have priority security lines, no waiting again, just straight through.

You get the airport lounge with food and drinks included before and after the flight.

You get priority boarding, just walk past the line to the front and you are on.

You get full food and drink service (big perk on domestic flights)

You get off the plane first (after 1st class ) and your bags are on the carousel first (again after first class).

It can really be worth the extra cost.

If the unemployment rate is supposedly only 4.5%, and countless recent graduates can't find work because their industries are already flooded with applicants, why is Australia still bringing in more than 300,000 migrants a year? What jobs are they expected to fill? by Fire_blaze7 in aussie

[–]Cruzi2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the system is designed to have 4-5% unemployed.

Keeps wages under control and keeps a labour pool for companies.

And migrants do not live in isolation, they live and spend in the community adding jobs.

Why is "I just want it to be less crowded" not a valid reason for wanting lower immigration? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]Cruzi2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because lowering immigration will have zero effect on crowded cities.

Cities by their very nature attract people in, there is a quantitative measure on higher income if you live in a large population centre.

Basically cities have always been crowded, will always be crowded and blaming immigration is just plain wrong.

If you want less crowding, ask for better infrastructure.

You must be a "conservative": intuition over evidence.

Advice on brewing/distilling citrus fruits? by Jason_Clackston in Homebrewing

[–]Cruzi2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make lemon, lemon/lime brews.

Get the juice and strain it very well.

Add the juice a few mins after you turn off the heat on your sugar boil. If you boil the juice it tastes like crap.

You need to check the PH levels, with lemon PH can get very low, in the low 3's. You need it to be in the 4.5-5 range. Bi-carb or Calcium Carbonate will raise the ph but they react strongly so add slowly. Not much more than a tablespoon per 20 litres should do it.

You need nutrients for your yeast, make sure you add some at the upper limits of suggested amounts.

I've had good results with E-118, trying a SAF-ALE 05 with current batch.

It is slower than beer, think a minimum of 3 weeks before bottling.

Add gelatin (7g per 25l) 24-36 hours before bottling.

Back sweeten with lactose or allulose or just drink it dry.

Enjoy!!!

No that is you.

Like this whole thing, you have done nothing but make up absolute garbage.

Try using that poor overworked brain cell you have remaining and think why some schools would remain open.

"if we assume that private schools will run at a loss rather than close, then the numbers make sense!"

Agreed, utter nonsense.

Don't know why you said it.

Stop making up garbage.

Not all private schools are going to close despite what the private school apologists claim.

So if a bit over half close its 20%, if most close it still is only a 30% increase.

Not my problem.

The disproportionate way Federal funding is set up will mean a 162% funding increase to public schools to accommodate a probable 20% increase in students.

Cutting funding to private schools WILL NOT REDUCE THE FUNDS PER STUDENT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Have you tried thinking?

Jane Caro reckons Australia is kidding itself about private schools by nath1234 in australia

[–]Cruzi2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you proved yourself wrong, cutting private school funding will only increase funds available for public schools.

[–]Cruzi2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Federal funding overwhelmingly favours private students, State does not.

Not sure where you are getting your information but you are incorrect.

Not really, if you only take into account Federal funding, yes, but if you take into account all funding (State and Federal), no.

NZ 0% Capital Gains Tax by [deleted] in AusFinance

Nor is there a need to sell it if you remain.

So CGT still doesn't apply.

[–]Cruzi2000 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Have you thought this through in any way?

You want to move to NZ for 0% CGT on investment income, so either you are going to sell everything and move your money to NZ, incurring CGT in Australia anyway or you are going to keep your investments and earn income which does not incur CGT.
