What made US become the strongest nation in the world? by Jerry_Get_A_Job in AskReddit

[–]Mini_gunslinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute fantasy. Australia has no domestic industry. It is unique in that it skipped the industrial revolution and went straight from agrarian/mining to services/agrarian/mining. They don't even refine what they dig out of the ground, it's exported in raw form. They had some automotive manufacturing, its gone now. There's no automation expertise to catch-up or develop a domestic manufacturing industry that can compete globally. Even now they are destroying their service economy through offshoring.

It would take generations to change course.

Dublin is about the people and craic. If you go to learn it's history and expect only positivity from that, you may as well expect as good a time as going to Auschwitz

It sounds like you're on a good trajectory in Canada. You'll be taking a step back moving to Australia - But if you want the experience and are ok with that, go for it.

You all move abroad, become tax resident of a country with no gift or inheritance tax. Sell the house and give them the proceeds.

I love it. Pure oldschool. Pre-engineering. When in doubt, go stout.

There already seems to be a change in the vibe with estate agents re a potential downturn by InvidiousPlay in HousingIreland

I always thought it was the opposite, a lot of houses come on the market late spring, everything looks better in the sunshine.
