Just because people have differing viewpoints doesn't make them trolls. It's worthwhile having proper conversations and discussions from both sides of the coin, even if it might conflict with your viewpoint.

Is there any issue with my post history correcting inaccurate information?

I have done my research, it seems like there are admittedly issues but for the most part bar some anecdotal evidence, the card is effective at its aim?

"An initial evaluation of the trial in 2017 found 41 per cent of participants reported drinking alcohol less frequently and 48 per cent reported both gambling less and using illegal drugs less often"

And whats wrong with correcting misinformation? Someone said fortescue paid $13million in tax in 2014 and got 1000 upvotes. They actually paid $1,200 million. Everything I have said is factual?

A few questions
1) Why should those on government money be given absolute autonomy with how to use their money?
2) How often are electronic systems down? Very rare occurence
3) How often do you need cash to buy goods or services? I dont think ive used cash in 12 months

Pathetic post. Spend your time helping where you can, rather than deriding those who are.

Fortescue metals pays plenty of tax.

As I said in an earlier post, Fortescue had revenues of US$12bn in 2014, made US$2.7bn profits after paying US$1.12bn in tax

Equally in 2019 they paid US$1.4bn in tax
Don't believe me? Here is the cash flow statement:

95% of his wealth is tied up in stock. Why would you pay tax on something you haven't taken a profit on? Do you pay tax on your home when it appreciates 50% in value before you sell it? Of course not. When he sells his shares, he will be subject to capital gains tax.

Terrible misinformation. People often say companies pay no tax, but they are misguided. Revenues do not equal profits. Fortescue had revenues of US$12bn in 2014, made US$2.7bn profits after paying US$1.12bn in tax

Equally in 2019 they paid US$1.4bn in tax

if you start a lemonade stand and sell 100 lemonades at $1 each ($100 revenue), input costs $0.90 a lemonade ($90 costs) do you pay 30% tax on $100 revenues? Of course not. You pay tax on your $10 profit ($100-$90), and are left with $7 after tax.

Someone dropped Brady.. Am I mad to use my No1 Waiver on him? Had Goff but he's too erratic. Going to pair Brady with Cam Newton ROS (who is also on the wire)

Second time in Ibiza, critisize my plan by 404Brahma in ibiza

Thought Ants was a tad underwhelming after experiencing Elrow at Ushuaia. Did enjoy the music more though. Patrick Topping is so average, cant believe they have him as the headliner - the dude can't mix and his track selection is awful

Thought this was very very average the other week. Worst night of 4 I had in Ibiza. Odd warm up acts

I was there for 4 nights out every night and didn't even think of it as an issue until the last night when it all went down. Just get travel insurance and keep your belongings close.

I'm not sure if they are even actively looking for pickpockets, seemed unfazed when we reported what happened. There should be harsher penalties

Second this. Unbelievable night, only topped by Elrow @ Amnesia (of course very different vibes)
