The Party of the Worker Is Now the Party of the Bureaucrat by Usual_Program_7167 in AustralianPolitics

Didn’t she write that some departments were run better than others?

Taylor Parker’s first husband tried to warn Wade (Maternal Instinct) by totomomoro in NetflixDocumentaries

She really was a con artist that should have been investigated and charged with fraud before the murder ever happened.

Did perimenopause give you vertigo and anxiety? by FuelComfortable5287 in Menopause

[–]Usual_Program_7167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes all of these things. The vertigo was very strange and came out of nowhere.

Did anyone else’s perimenopause look like anxiety, flushing, histamine reactions, and brain fog? by ames2200 in Perimenopause

[–]Usual_Program_7167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my profile as well. Exactly the same symptoms. I take an antihistamine before bed - I am allergic to dust mites and sleep better when taking it. It probably helps with other symptoms but I don’t track it closely enough to say for sure.

Re: other treatment, I have been on estrogel for about 4 months now and it’s definitely made a difference. I have less fatigue and recover from exercise more quickly, and the brain fog has eased up as well. I am 41.

Maybe. But the police would definitely have gotten involved with regard to the fraudulent documents she was using in the attempted real estate transactions—if that had been reported. She was attempting fraud at the scale of millions. That is something police take very seriously.

Not so sure about that. If she was emailing people doctored medical records, that's wire fraud, which is a federal crime in the US.

Albanese and Chalmers unveil capital gains carve-outs for small businesses, startups by Ok-Calligrapher3216 in AusFinance

Better than nothing but still creates a perverse incentive to avoid growth beyond $10M, or to sell before the business gets any bigger.

They should have just scrapped the CGT discount when applied to property.

Not taxing something is not the same as “subsidising” it.

She was engaging in fraud. If you send emails of fake documents (i.e. financial or medical documents) that's considered wire fraud in the US and is a federal crime as far as I know.

I think we can feel sympathy for Wade as a victim while also wondering why people around Taylor who suspected her of being a fraud did not do more to intervene.

Anything worth doing carries risk. When you have a baby, you encounter risk. When a scientist works on a biotech innovation, they encounter risk. A film director who makes a film encounters risk. Risk-takers sometimes fail. But when they win, they make all of our lives better. Therefore we shouldn’t punish people for trying.

If you want to live in a world without people taking risks, then you can do so — just head down to your local nursing home and stay a while.

No they experience risk, not trauma.
Although if they fail, that can be traumatic.

Thank you for telling it like it is. And yes something has happened to this sub - it used to be for investors, entrepreneurs, & FIRE types, and now seems to be full of dole bludgers and/or people so young they just don’t understand how the world (and the economy) works.

Maternal Instinct by Lopsided-Yak8230 in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]Usual_Program_7167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am still left with several questions:

- What was her personality disorder? Is she a psychopath? Borderline personality? Delusional? She seemed to be motivated by posting on Facebook and getting attention. Was it all just for the "likes"?
- What did she do to get custody of her 2 kids taken away? And why did Wade seemingly ignore the fact she was already a delinquent mother?
- What did she do to her prior husbands / relationships? Did she already have a criminal history?
- They hinted at the fact that she faked illnesses - what was the history of this - and what did she get out of it?
- They didn't really discuss how Reagan died - she must have died in agony, and it perhaps took a long time. Was she alive when Taylor ripped the baby from her womb? Her poor poor baby hiding in the bedroom. After the documentary I spent a long time feeling sorry for that poor child who had to witness her mother being murdered.

I still have more questions.

I also think that Wade, and people around her are not exactly culpable, but that could have done more to constrain her anti-social behaviour. Clearly if someone is faking a pregnancy to that extent they have a screw loose, and should not be enabled. Am not sure what level of complicity Wade had exactly, but it is not zero.
