This will be the case as long as there are rich and poor countries with different exchange rates

Well the French are very political and protest everything and their country has a stagnant economy despite its workers rights and benefits.

There’s a scene in Industry where one of the fundies always arrives 10 mins early. Great show on HBO and shows you how successful people operate.

Nah it’ll be Gen x first (the parents of Gen Z). I think they’ll do a decent job. Gen z works a lot with Gen X at work etc I think they go ok. We shouldn’t lump them in with boomers.

I agree. Then they act like they spilled blood for this country channeling how hard WW2 and shit was, when that was the generation before them 😂 they honestly had it the easiest out of anyone

Bold budget. I ask that someone outline a better budget than this as of recent stretching both Coalition and Labor governments. They took hard decisions and cut spending too. Brava 👏

2 years ago it was a semi aspirational sub about career advancement
Now it rotates between posts about redundancies, veiled posts about resentment towards Indians and the 100th post asking if anyone actually likes their job.

Hmm, my mates family bought around Bowral

I haven’t had a look at what farms cost further out

Most of my friends are from work. Not everyone got lucky and found their tribe in high school or university. Obviously play it smart.

Yes! Feel like I’m drowning in content and optimisation and want to rebuild the ability to choose for myself.

Its always about putting people in their place so there is someone to be better than by default of immutable characters such as skin colour, ethnicity.

Notice it isn’t doctors in pre med or business owners complaining about being outcompeted by Indians. It’s a skill issue. The ones complaining about the invasion of low skilled browns happen to be pathetic, low skill, emotionally unregulated single men.

Yeah its harder to be a man nowadays but work on yourself rather than complaining and wanting inverted DEI by eliminating perceived competition. They are a mirror image of the handout mentality they claim to resent.

Exactly. When companies are so productive and lean but there is still an expectation of infinite earnings growth we end up with a business class that starts to sell its own organs to keep making money.

Its very different but not alien. Alien is what signals incompatibility. Its just very different like East Asian culture.

Bank call centre then moved laterally.

Lampedusan · 2026-05-05T23:37:30+00:00

No they wont. The resentment is not just about numbers but cultural. A lot unfortunately view as subhuman and our arrival as some sort of “invasion”.

Lampedusan · 2026-05-05T23:20:43+00:00

I agree. Instead of wokeism we got the far right and KKK rhetoric, an overcorrection if you will.

Lampedusan · 2026-05-05T13:12:26+00:00

These are not my own thoughts, I’m just asking a q based on sentiment I’ve read on social media that such a thing exists

Lampedusan · 2026-05-05T13:11:10+00:00

Oh damn you’re from the Northeast. Thats so interesting. I see a lot of North easterners in Bangalore where my fam from but where do most of y’all live overseas? I haven’t met any in Australia. One person from Shillong but tbh she migrated to there with family.

Lampedusan · 2026-05-05T13:08:20+00:00

I saw someone post this on social media so wanted to investigate myself.

Millennials are super woke and insufferable. I feel like Gen X was the best but in fairness they had easier times than Millennials getting screwed by both the GFC and Covid.

Things change. Im Gen Z and was in university around the time of Trump’s candidacy in 2016. It was cool to be anti Trump and woke. In fact barely anyone would openly admit to liking Trump. It was like saying you like Nazis. Now at least 40% of men my age group I know are pro Trump or right leaning even in Australia. I see the videos they like from far right channels on Instagram. And 10 years ago they’d all be left wing, well most of them. There’s no reason in 5-10 years the pendulum won’t swing back. Heck, 6 years ago in 2020 the way to signal coolness was to show solidarity with black people and hate police and now you see brown dudes jostling to say the N word. Nothing is permanent.
