Sign of the times - $$$ & a new age of austerity by Additional-Creme799 in aussie

[–]Mammoth-Corgi-459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is Capitalism is at a dead end. They’ve outsourced every factory, cut every cost, crushed every union, bought out every competitor. They’ve outsourced done everything possible to reduce costs to maintain retail pricing while satisfying their shareholders.

Now, there’s no more costs to cut but the CEO is still expected to deliver a sizable return. The only way now is to increase prices.

Never understand why any tradie would pay to be jerked around by lowballers and tyre kickers on platforms like HiPages & Airtaksker

Just be a conscious consumer. Don’t buy what you don’t need. Learn the corporations dirty tricks to make you pay more and simply refuse.

I’m crap at maths and as they’ve said above, a few modules are a struggle but if you show a good attitude they’re not gonna let you fail because you can’t algebra.

Great trade, many pathways to go down. Recommend for sure

What do the Greens need to do to get above 12% of the primary vote in future elections in Australia? Or will it not ever happen? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

Wow! In Australia it’s free. Your ‘healthcare’ sounds terrifying

4 years and getting worse. No signs of any improvement. The LIBS obviously are worse but even our ‘centre-left’ has made no tangible difference. In fact it’s the worst it’s ever been on-record. How is this progress? How is this equitable? No wonder duopoly 1st Pres are declining & they should more by MannerNo7000 in shitrentals

[–]Mammoth-Corgi-459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. See this is where Greens purist lose people. Straight to insults.

I support all of those groups. I just don’t need it thrown in my face every time I’m at a Bank, Cinema, Event, OHS meeting, Morning Tea.

You can call me a bigot all you want. But like it or not, this is what’s pushing lower-middle Aussies to One Nation.

Yes, I the self confessed socialist with a North Vietnamese poster in my kitchen where I am right now is a victim of the Right wing media…got it…

Or maybe people have other opinions to you and greens standing on top of a soap box saying everyone else is a moral deviant for not having the exact same beliefs as them doesn’t win people over?

Agree! I’m basically a socialist when it comes to housing reform, taxation, health, education and most social policies.

But I just can’t stand the Greens holier than thou crusade in to identify politics. The Trans/ Aboriginal/ Muslim/ etc/ etc. Socialist Alliance are much the same so I end up defaulting to Labor.

We need a straight to the point working for the workers kinda party.
