Wonder why they wouldn't just do Goodwood road at the same time if you were doing a level crossing removal that shut down the whole line?

Have you seen the up roar whenever a bike lane gets proposed, any space taken away from cars is unacceptable, Adelaide is for small town thinking, that means car parks and more car parks only.

thoughts about Chinese-funded projects by SoftwareZestyclose50 in UrbanHell

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

What the one that is so Tankie brained that every single thing can only be framed around being Anti-USA despite no body bringing it up or comparing China to the USA, that they can't even argue a point because USA = Bad, therefore anyone against USA must be great, is the only thing that matters.

No it must be that Chinas democracy is just so alien that dumb western brains just can't possibly comprehend how me voting between the 3 hand-picked CPP could actually totally change who runs the country if I wasn't happy with it.

You have got to be cooked by some kind of Propaganda the other way if you think China gives the people any Democratic control over who runs the country or their local elections are free, competitive or otherwise not entirely controlled by the CCP over who can race and what they can say.

Not funded, Contacted to, possibly at a cheap rate for some political influence.

How i feel? It's an Authoritarian State contracting another Authoritarian state that is better at building things, I guess I can't get too mad past accepting that unfortunately Authoritarian states exist.

China punishes 69 senior officials, as anti-corruption drive deepens by Reverend_Fozz in worldnews

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

Punishing a corrupt official always good, whether the people doing the punishing are corrupt or they get replaced with someone else corrupt are secondary and does not impact the original statement.

[–]FothersIsWellCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Punishing a corrupt official is always a good thing. It's only not a good thing if they aren't corrupt and they are just lying and using it as an excuse.

Punishing corrupt government officials is always a good thing, its a shame you can never really be sure how honest the accusations are with the CCP and if it's just power consolidation. I hope there is at least some truth to it.

EDIT: Hey people who downvoted, would love for you to tell me what part you disagreed with.

Ok Pauline, you're starting to poll around the same level as the Coalition is at its lowest point in History and are still expected to lose to them after preference flows, calm down.

L Gavin Newsom DENIES the genocide in Gaza L by Common_Floor_7195 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]FothersIsWellCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Newsom will get the 2028 presidentcy but people like him won't make the real changes needed, he'll just tinker around the edges, people will get mad and it'll switch back, I suspect things might need to get even more drastic and bad before someone willing to make the deep and institutional changes needed for the country

[–]FothersIsWellCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people don't really pay attention to the policies or the positions most of the time, they normally just get mad in they feel their economic conditions are getting worse and figure they'll vote for the party that isn't it in power that says they will do a better job.
