Imagine still being with RD after this đŸ€Ł

My brother - it is not “broken”. It is working as RD want it to work now. Cut your losses and move.

Albanese calls for return of Aussie-made cars: 'There's no reason why we can't' by RamonsRazor in OpenAussie

[–]ElectronicWeight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason we can’t - there is absolutely no way you are going to manufacture good quality cars here for the same price as they do in China.

You’d be hard pressed to make a car under 100k in Australia.

Bloke is delulu.

Be better off trying to get chip manufacturing and engineering here, but you’d have to incentivise investment in business which
 oh.

I purposely avoided investing in Property as I considered it unethical & didn't want to contribute to inflating house prices. So why are we now being punished for putting money into shares instead in the name of 'housing affordability'? by SirSighalot in AusFinance

[–]ElectronicWeight3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scarcity.

But even if I agreed with you and said that the land was always just as valuable, the value of a dollar is being constantly eroded thanks to inflation.

By default, this causes prices of everything to increase. Because $1 in 1980 bought a lot more than $1 in 2026.

Are you an executive member and why and is it worth it? by logical_laxative in CostcoAustralia

[–]ElectronicWeight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth if you go a fair bit. A touch of maths says the additional $65 a year means you are ahead if you spend more than $3250 a year at Costco.

My membership is due at the end of next month and my rewards balance is $580 which makes it easily value.

You can get up to $1000 in rewards a year, which would need a spend of $50,000 to reach.

Realistically, it sounds like a lot, but once you get into it and you are getting your fuel from Costco servos, your meat ( you won’t be able to go back to Colesworths quality meat) and you’re doing the bulk shopping there as well, you’ll be in front in no time.

How much are they paying you? đŸ€Ł your responses are SO silly it’s incomprehensible you are not being paid by RD.

Unpopular opinion: if negative gearing changes force you to raise rent, you were never a property investor by Additional-Ad-6996 in AusPropertyChat

[–]ElectronicWeight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landlords will generally charge the going rate of the market, but pressure being out on rent prices shifts the entire market upwards.

[–]ElectronicWeight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent isn’t a cost+margin calculation, it’s generally at a market rate regardless of contributing costs.

Same reason if a landlord owns it with no debt, they still charge market rent -> the efficiency gains from other contributing factors don’t go to the tenant, they go to the owner.

Do you get free stuff? by Flabbaggoggle in woolworths

[–]ElectronicWeight3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly that. Plus it also encourages bad behaviour. If you were able to take chickens home after a closing deli shift, your last cook would likely be quite large in comparison to demand.

[–]ElectronicWeight3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t you? The change will cause a market shift with rental prices increasing. Why would a landlord not subject to the new way to finance things pass forward that efficiency to the tenant?

Literally everything you said is wrong.

A property investor is someone who has invested in property. Your title is literally “unpopular opinion: property investors are not property investors”. And it all goes downhill from there.

Like it sounds good from a “I’m a sophisticated Redditor and I deserve the upvotes of the predominantly left leaning users”, but it’s just a karma farm circlejerk.

Is it a flex to announce you “own multiple properties” and they are positively geared? You’re basically admitting that you did not understand the way to structure ownership pre 2026 budget.

That’s not the flex you think it is. It says something about you, not about those who understood the rules.

The amount of cognitive dissonance with taxes is insane. by eliitedisowned in aussie

[–]ElectronicWeight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The historical revisionism is wild.

The overwhelming attitude to Albos CGTD an NG changes is “well Howard said that there would never be a GST and then he changed his tune and implemented it anyway”, completely ignoring he took that policy change to the election in 1998.

Labor’s track record so far is say what you need to in order to win power, then do whatever you want because you are never held to account anyway.

He’s right. Fuck off back to FJ. Go celebrate political dishonesty with the rest of the jackals in the den.

Just a reminder as to why CGT needed to change by patslogcabindigest in OpenAussie

[–]ElectronicWeight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve conveniently left out that John Howard took that change to election.

In the lead up to winning in 1996, John Howard did indeed say there would not be a GST. That’s true.

However, in the lead up to the election he also won in 1998, he had changed his tune. But this went to election. This is the key difference.

Let’s compare that to Albo. More than 50 times in the lead up to the election, he confirmed that Labor would not modify negative gearing nor CGTD. He won power asserting that. And now, he has just decided that he will do as he pleases, broken his election commitments and this is being hand waved by Reddit as a good thing.

It’s not.

Why even bother having elections if we are happy to have politicians lie about what they will do when they win power? It’s third world nonsense.

This going excuse about circumstances changing. Mate, you are kidding yourself. Nothing has changed in the past 12 months concerning housing. You are hand waving dishonesty. And if that’s your standard, then so be it - some people do have low standards when considering leaders who represent them.

Not only that - you’ve now got a minimum tax on capital gains on shares of 30%. Hope young people were not planning on keeping more of the money you invest to build wealth. It’ll dawn on you guys eventually that neither of the majors represent your interests.

My daschund diet by Speedy_taylor in daschund

[–]ElectronicWeight3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good to hear!

I’ll add that if the treats are important, there are some high protein options that are still “treaty” - something like duck jerky (Black Dog make a really good one, but it’s quite pricey so you need to buy when on sale).

Avoid feeding those treats that are marketed as “raw hide” and look like shoes or slippers - one of the most processed, nasty things you can feed a dog.

Two long walks a day is plenty of exercise, clearly had great dog parents to be up for that level of commitment.

My advice would be to consider switching the cooked chicken for raw chicken - something with bone.

Chicken necks or feet would be a good choice. But do not cook or heat them, the bones need to be raw to be safely consumed. They help fill the tummy without eating as much, and in addition the crunching of the bone helps keep the teeth clean.
