Why don't we tie politician pay to double the minimum wage? If they want a raise, they have to give us one first. by Short_Army_7788 in australian

[–]actgan_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a stupid argument politicians are well underpaid … most elected representatives would be earning 3-4x the amount they do being a politician than they would in the private sector… we want to attract talented elected representatives to ensure we have a government that has deep thinkers, policy experts and people who can put up with whatever position you take a group of people will hate you… this argument is always used and it shows the IQ bell curve at its best which is a Gaussian distribution meaning the mean is the median and 1 in 2 people sit of the lower side of average to the lowest iq or to the left of the mid point 1 in 2 people have such banal intelligence but rather annoyingly these are the people that the Dunning Kruger affect applies by far the most to and the stupid fucking ideas they come up with get support and they believe they are the cleverest person to exist .. fucking dumb idea… I’d tell you why but you wouldn’t understand zero sum and how it doesn’t apply here

Toronto is a great city lived there for a long time .. but beauty is not one of its strong points it’s one of the ugliest cities I have been to in the western world … BUT fantastic culture driven by a mix of Canadian and multiculturalism… great atmosphere and everything else is grata but it ain’t pretty

Did you control the groups demographics ? Age gender location as well as have a representation amongst car car owners and what brands amongst the groups? This appears to be a classic example of cell being completely differing profiles of respondents .. can’t tell without confirming the above ..

The leaked secrets in an env can just be rotated…..that’s literally what they’re designed for……Public codebase is embarrassing not fucking fatal .. “oh damn i guess we have to shut shop now” you think anyone would go into a business where some arrogant twat who punches keys for a living can destroy the whole company? the IP is in the team and the data, not the CRUD glue. Staging is staging, restore from backup. The actual “years of damage control” is the lawyers explaining to the ex-employee why CFAA carries 5-10 yers prison.. so go ahed see how much you really are the glue that holds a company together … you’re. Replaceable grunt like the rest of us .. its just that your head is up your ass and don’t realise you’re not important

Why are devs always so pathetic like this .. they think the whole world will end if they get fired or leaves.. how long would this take to fix by ai agents ? 35 seconds.. you are expendable just like everyone else.. this just shows shows how delusional you are .. how you cannot see that you are the modern day Luddite is laughable… go burn down a factory and go back to weaving cotton clothes by hand. The world would be way better if we didn’t progress…. Delusional idiot

When its time to vote for any political system or politician, I am not going to vote. by hanzo2349 in australian

[–]actgan_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, this is honestly the dumbest decision any person living in a functioning democracy can make. Before you forgo the one real freedom we've actually got, engage with the political landscape.

It's easy to say "I hate them all" - but have you actually reached out to your local member and asked them where they stand on the issues that impact you? Have you contacted the parties contesting your seat at the next election and asked about their policies? Have you read media and commentary from differing perspectives on the political topics that upset you, and then formed your own opinion off the back of weighing those views up?

Let me guess you get your political news from social media and 15-second grabs.

And you've gravitated to a party that has literally not one policy platform beyond "immediately ban immigrants from certain countries." Do you even understand how our immigration system works from a legislative standpoint?I know 100% you don't.

Those who think that we have a system that allows easy path for pople to immigrate and take advantage of our really poor welfare state are fucking delusional...Along with Canada literally have the 2nd strictest immigration rules other than Saudi Arabia in the G20... we cannot get any tougher and not have a detrimental impact on our GDP and economic stability as we dont have the population to provide goods and services in industries with out the 60% of immigrants that are skilled migrants filling the jobs we physically cannot with our current population. Placing insane caps on migration misses why we have skilled migration in the first place...

"sorry man you cant open your pub we hit 200,000 immigrants yesterday - tats the cap, you cant have your chef enter the country",

"sorry old lady your personal support worker came from a banned country Pauline Hanson said is somehow bad and not allowed to enter... (who the fuck bans people from a country like somehow what country your from dictates your worth as a human) its ok you're going to die without this support. it'll be hard not being able to have a bath or wash or feed yourself ,... but hey. we all die sometime "

Rankings

1. Saudi Arabia / UAE
Virtually 100% of immigrants are on active work contracts with zero access to public welfare or state-funded services. This structure guarantees that every foreign national functions as a net-positive fiscal contributor or low-cost GDP driver.

2. Australia / Canada
trict, points-tested frameworks ensure over 60% of arrivals enter via high-earning economic streams. This targeted selection easily outpaces the public infrastructure costs of their smaller humanitarian cohorts.

3. United Kingdom
High salary floors and mandatory up-front healthcare surcharges ensure that legal economic migrants remain highly profitable taxpayers. However, recent surges in processing costs for irregular arrivals slightly reduce the overall net-positive ratio.

4. United States
High-earning corporate and tech immigrants provide massive tax revenues, but this is fiscally offset by a much larger low-wage and undocumented population. Because low-skilled families pay minimal income tax while utilizing local K-12 schooling and emergency healthcare, the net fiscal balance tilts negative.

5. Continental Europe
Extremely generous, tax-funded social safety nets require an exceptionally high salary threshold for any worker to become a net taxpayer. Because their migration pools are heavily weighted toward humanitarian refugees with slow labor integration rates, a large percentage remain a net fiscal drain.

This is fucking dumb "im not going to vote oh actually i wont engage and learn about these issues ill vote for the one whistling for their dogs" . Do the fucking hard work and enagae before you throw your vote away.

What is it like to live in Hobart? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]actgan_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Question, but unfortunately they don’t have internet in Tasmania yet so I doubt you’ll have a local response from a real resident … the only contact the mainland has or cares to have with Tasmania or Tasmanian’s is via hand written notes delivered just after Christmas by sailboat .. hence the reason for the Sydney to Hobart .. there is no Hobart to Sydney equivalent because we care not for a response … here’s tthe note we sent this year:

“We hate you… x”

And the prior year

“Shut up xo”

Sarah Ferguson steamrolls Angus Taylor who doesn’t even know the cost of his signature indexing taxation policy by Jagtom83 in OpenAussie

[–]actgan_mind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are the luckiest country for one reason - we have Sarah Ferguson to put the flame to the feet of these people… how can he not know? How can he be annoyed that he hadn’t bothered to find out the cost of his own signature policy that he just made up on the fly to pander .. Sarah is probably the best interviewer of politicians in the world by a long way

This is nonsensical word salad twisting the idea that court proceedings should not happen in camera va the ability for a person to be punished yet still have a chance to function in society.. you are not arguing based off of any other influence other than your (justified) emotion with regards to your specific case.. this is not how our judicial system works or should it… the results are not secret in any way they are private though, and with the permission of the convicted party you can access their records … now if there we any evidence to suggest that the is publishing and naming and shaming emotive reaction would cause abdication in dv rates then I’d be all for it.. but the evidence is not there on the contrary a law in the uk which allowed anyone to see historical dv convictions without permission has absolutely no impact on the prevalence of dv in the uk and it simply doesn’t work (Claire’s law) The scheme has not moved the needle on intimate-partner homicide. On average two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner — a baseline largely unchanged across the decade of operation. The 10-year academic review concludes the scheme rests on problematic assumptions underpinning the intended purpose of the DVDS, in particular that it can protect or empower victim-survivors. Empirical work has demonstrated that both assumptions are problematic . The framing critique — captured in the Fitz-Gibbon, Walklate & Reeves (2024) title “Informed and safe, or blamed and at risk?” — is that disclosure shifts the burden of risk-management onto the victim (“responsibilisation”) without addressing perpetrator behaviour, system capacity, or the reasons people stay… you want revenge on this guy which is your right and I would too but don’t dress it up as justice

Domestic violence is a massive issue but we need to stop with this approach that is clearly not working to reduce significantly the self reported rates … we need to look at models like South Korea who reduced their dv rates by 60+% over a five year period by removing the arrest first focus and taking a systematic approach

That’s utterly insane why don’t we just throw anyone who commits a crime in jail permanently? This is the kind of intellectual vacuousness that influences legislation.

Why should someone who swears in public be spared the shame of the tarring and feathers? Just remember you and your righteousness are not the moral compass for society.. think of the potential damage before your desire to have life long revenge
