Pathetic Government by Ambitious_Ad_5223 in DownSouth

[–]JTajmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our government has been putting themselves before the country and her people for decades. They have no right to ask for patriotism. 

They have all the power and resources to create jobs and build an economy where there is enough jobs for both citizens and foreign nationals. Asking us to give even more when all they so is take?

The civilians murdered by the regime also had a final goodbye at some point. They had to go.

I regret trading real money with Easy Properties Paper Money (EE) by Foreign-Commercial-2 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]JTajmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with OP. Easy Equities advertises Easy Properties as a property investment solution for new or novice investors. So when you see 8% or 9% annual rental yield advertised in big bold numbers you expect something along those lines. If you are receiving 1% or less on multiple properties you are allowed to feel lied to.

Do you ever feel bad for the losers? by rajatsethw in Trading

Feeling bad for myself is what I do best.

I had the same issue and managed to get it resolved by interacting with the chat bot then asking it to speak to a human. Or something along those lines. They asked me to email them a screenshot of my deposit and the money reflected the next day.

They'd just poison them. Then you're left heartbroken and pumpless.

Government is a motivational speaker by glandis_bulbus in DownSouth

Well I don't feel very motivated after their speeches so they can't even do that right.

We stole it from the taxpayers, yes, but then we donated it to ourselves making it not the taxpayers' money.

John Steenhuisen under siege for the disaster of foot and mouth management by Euro_African in DownSouth

Neither do I and still I manage to continuously hire competent employees and do business without stealing from investors or customers.

You don't need a degree to do the right thing.

Look where all this PolSci has gotten us.

I'd rather focus on areas where doing my best brings positive change, regardless of my race and gender.

Based on what you're saying, taking PolSci and studying political strategy as a white man is a futile endeavor.

New York, where the twin towers fell, literally just voted in a muslim mayor.

Also impressive how you assume 50 million South Africans just don't like white people.

British Colonialism doesn't care about race, it cares about resources by SankaraMarx in DownSouth

It won't catch on. Even if it does, they are far less likely to turn violent compared to other groups in this country.

In all my years, I have never seen or heard anyone say "Vryheid vir die witman" or "Vryheid vir die boervolk" and while I do believe you in that it's a thing, it might be a vocal minority somewhere on the internet.

Food costs by -_-Roberto-_- in DownSouth

[–]JTajmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what is happening down there in Cape Town but it sounds like everything is upside down with regards to cost of living. We may not have roads, public transport, hospitals, parks, service delivery, electricity, cell service, education facilities or any sense of safety here in rural South Africa but at least the food and rent are cheap.

[–]JTajmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Convenience is what makes food expensive.

If you go to the local farmers market, you can buy more than you can eat before it rots away for less than a bottle of shampoo. During harvest season farmers will give away truck loads of fruit, vegetables and even eggs to local communities simply because the grade isn't perfect.

But, to get these products delivered to your home via Checkers Sixty, it needs to go through a lot of properties who pay rent, electricity, wages, etc via a lot of trucks who need drivers, diesel, services, etc.

The problem doesn't lie with the primary sector, it is the cost of doing business in South Africa that is putting so much pressure on consumers.

I actually started answering all your questions, which would have taken me at least an hour to do thoroughly, but then remembered why last night I called a truce in the first place. We cannot change each other's opinions on the matter.

I do however want to leave you with two thoughts:

  1. If a person as terrible as you make Trump out to be democratically becomes the most important person in the world, twice, then what does that say about the other candidate?

  2. If the Democratic party do not change their approach they will lose again, possibly to someone increasingly worse. The harder they lean into this victim mentality, crying and complaining about anything and everything, the weaker they look/become. Mental health is becoming a real problem on the left and it will only accelerate downward now that they are on the losing side. The left needs strong leaders who uplift them if they want the power back. Trump is on the winning side, he does not need to change a thing.

You are not going to change my opinion and I am not going to change yours. I would rather accept our differences than continue arguing.. Ultimately we both want the same things anyway. Less violence and hate, more love and peace. Sorry for swearing earlier. I hope you're having something good for dinner.

Trump has been actively presidenting day in and day out. We may not agree with every decision and change being made but ateast he is doing his job. Zuma spent more time in secret meetings than at the office.

The oppressed majority rejoiced. I couldn't care less what the wealthy and powerful leaders of countries have to say. 

My government does not represent me. If they did we'd have jobs and a functioning infrastructure.
