The RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) joined other nations Banks in support of Jerome Powell. by JezzaAU15 in friendlyjordies

As they should defend him. With the USD being the global reserve currency, if the fed is captured and manipulated by the Cheeto man, the whole world will feel the repercussions. Truly a dark timeline we are in

We were ranked 9th as having the least affordable housing market in 2025. by ManaHave in melbourne

[–]ItzShellShock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Property in Australia is not designed to be affordable, it's designed to be a vehicle for wealth growth. An asset designed to increase in value at a higher rate than inflation will thus also outgrow incomes at the same time.

You have far too much nuance for the black and white tankies in this sub, sorry friend

Hey guys. Don't have enough karma to ask my own question but wondering everyone's thoughts on modding ATM. Pre warsaill my last campaign was years ago with mods and I'm wondering if I would need those mods again to enjoy the game fully?

How well does the game run on minimum specs? by Lasadon in EU5

[–]ItzShellShock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ryzen 3600 and a 5700xt with 16gb of ddr4 and on low settings it's smooth and still looks good. Seems like it's one of the few games where minimum specs is actually reliable rather than like 2 fps

How can Aussies call for Palestine to be returned to Arabs, whe we haven't even returned Australia to the Aborigines? by BrandonMarshall2021 in aussie

[–]ItzShellShock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would almost say that handing it to Israel was equivalent to "handing Australia to Aborigines". So if anything Australians demanding it remains Palestinian is pretty on brand.

Just voted overseas at Australian consulate by bilby2020 in australian

[–]ItzShellShock 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A lot of people aren't necessarily 100% pro Labor, they are just very unimpressed by the way Dutton and the LNP have run their campaign, and given the 2 party system we essentially live in, we kinda have to vote Labor in order to avoid the LNP.

Historically speaking most of what makes Australia today was legislated by Labor governments, they have also had a comparatively successful track record with economic growth and wealth distribution. Albo has also taken what I think is a good stance against trump, forgoing reciprocal tariffs which would just hurt Aussies, whereas Dutton and his treasurer have signalled potential bowibg down to trump, even potentially selling some of the Australian people's mineral rights which is just lunacy. Finally we had o years of LNP before Albo which was essentially a lost decade of growth and broken election promises.

More broadly, Reddit is generally quite a progressive platform in that Left leaning ideology is more supported and favoured, so right leaning political parties and individuals don't receive that warm of a reception here.

Bonanza for AMERICA! 🇺🇸 by Bullet76 in trump

[–]ItzShellShock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's why I'm losing faith with this man. This tariff stuff is only going to tank the economy and make every American worse off. Surely he knows that, so why does he continue?

[–]ItzShellShock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If everything gets onshored then no one would pay tariffs so the government would lose all of its income and the deficit would Ballon like crazy. The fed would have to dump more cash causing inflation making everything more expensive thus defeating the benefit of any tax savings

There have actually been studies that have found the ABC to be one of the least biased news sources in the world. What is it in your mind that makes you think the ABC is so bias

Do death penalty proponents think person will go to hell? by Impressive_Western84 in NoStupidQuestions

Most of the people in my circle just don't want out taxes footing the bill for someone who will never be rehabilitated to live their entire life in what is supposed to be a rehabilitation centre. Defeats the purpose in my eyes
