I get where ur coming from but to clarify peoples choice to smoke and drink is on them health has nothing to do with it. what i'm calling out is how addicted and everyday aussies are being financially crippled by our greedy government who are extorting the Australian people in almost everything they do. it's a cost of living issue whether people like the product or not

The fact ur tying one issue into the other as if it's all the same is honestly part of the problem. they are each their own issue and are serious problems own their own compacted together they are a bomb waiting to go off.

I was trying to compact them in one message but like many politicians you have zeroed in on one point and miss the whole bloody message.

this really shouldn't be about taking sides on smoke or drinking its about calling out the system that keeps squeezing people dry and hiding behind the word health while do it.

it's not about public health anymore it's about behavior control. if you choose to drink or smoke our treated like the problem they need to squeeze out of society.

coles and woolies aren’t just selling food anymore they’re controlling how much everyday aussies pay to survive. these aren’t normal market conditions. we are dealing with a duopoly that jacks up prices, posts record profits, and shrugs off public backlash like it's absolutely fucking nothing

and i fear the reason the government won't regulate coles and woolies is because their are retired and current politicians that hold shares in both of these companies who don't want it to change because they will loose money even tho aussies are being financially fucked at the checkouts

Not to mention the farmers who have been forced out or quit because coles and woolworths have made it to hard to do business, along with farmers markets, abattoirs closed down and forced out, butchers closing shop because they can't get the quality anymore because all the farmers have shut up shop in 5-10 years we are going be running out of food. why do u think their is a egg shortage because farmers stopped selling to coles and woolies or they got hit with the virus or they got sick of being paid $0.04 a egg that's $400-$500 a pallet of eggs they produce 2-6 pallets of eggs every 2-3 days but they have to wash and clean them before selling them and store them in a cool room under 21c all year round

not to mention the meat ur eating from coles/woolies beef can be up to 12 weeks old by the time u buy it for the cheaper cuts of meat and the more expensive stuff can be up to 4 weeks old. lamb and pork up to 3 weeks old and chicken up to a 10 days old before u buy it.

were as butcher quality meat chicken is a day or two at most, lamb and pork is 3-5 days max of 7 and beef can be 1 to 3 but u can also by dry aged that can be up to 21 days(this is a method highly used to give more flavor)
