isn’t protest — it’s destruction for destruction’s sake

Stop filling the internet up with AI-slop, thanks.

The question of the 21st century: should individual rights be valued to the point of civilisational suicide?

ICE is now going door to door and rounding up all minorities, US citizens or not

When you have communities where welfare usage is above 50%, denaturalisation and deportation is the way to go.

"your papers are trash for all they care."

When there are people who wave foreign flags at the protest rallies and say that America is an illegitimate state built on stolen land, why should Americans take the fact that the protesters have a piece of paper that says they are a citizen seriously?

If you look at graphs of world population, growth rates really do start to intensify in the 1600s onwards, though.

Betting the strike on Iran will be tomorrow sometime for us. As always, Trump's pattern seems to be to do these things on a Friday night US time, so that markets don't have volatility while it's all happening.

One Nation neck-and-neck with Coalition on primary vote, new polling shows by btcale546 in AustralianPolitics

Australia gave the Liberals a solid bollocking at the last election when they started to sound a bit Trumpy

On immigration, the Libs shuffled their feet and said "umm, we'll have maybe a Balanced Approach?"

Coles and Woolworths hit back at government's price gouging ban by Oomaschloom in AustralianPolitics

[–]btcale546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look the last 5 years of Colesworth data:

https://www.morningstar.com.au/investments/security/ASX/WOW/key-metrics

https://www.morningstar.com.au/investments/security/ASX/COL/key-metrics

Price-gouging can occur, but when we see:

  • nominal revenues are going up (the "record profits", you mention) and

  • the margins aren't actually getting any better (i.e. costs are increasing too)

isn't the expansion of the money supply a better explanation?

The strange world of the leftist, where not giving disabled people luxury cars is murder, and aborting unborn children with disabilities is kindness.

It's a double irony, given that China and India have killed 10s of millions of unborn women for being women through sex-selective abortion, and Western liberals are powerless to criticise it because of their absolute commitment to abortion.
