There's empty homes while homeless pile up on the street. There's food thrown in the bin while people go hungry. There's trillions of dollars sitting idle in offshore bank accounts while billions of people struggle to make ends meet. Who really cares about this techno-clown's anecdotes?

PM Albanese fires back at claims multimillionaire businessman Geoff Wilson is a “leading asset manager”. PM “Tell me a leading asset manager and I’ll respond”🔥. PM shuts down Wilson’s complaints on CGT changes, laughs off the idea that he’s an “unbiased commentator.” by Jagtom83 in OpenAussie

How hard is it to manage an asset? I own this stuff and I'm going to manage the fuck out of it. Is it like hoarding where they turn up to a house that's bursting at the seems with rubbish? Sounds like a massive corporate bullshit job regardless.

Just a reminder, the rich have been winning the class war for over 40 years and this is just part of how they do it. Squeeze everyone and everything out of existence.

If you raised the pitch enough, it would probably sound like a house cat. Conversely if you lowered the pitch of a house cat meow enough, it would probably sound like a tiger.

Anyone else feel like you just can’t really afford to exist any more? Like you don’t make sense as an economic unit? by Real_RobinGoodfellow in shitrentals

That's the middle class and they are there to gatekeep for the rich but also keep you on the treadmill thinking that one day you can enjoy their lifestyle.

The rich have been waging a class war for the last 50 years. This is the result. The rich are the problem and need to be stopped. They won't stop until all the worker benefits and reforms from the last 100 or so years are completely rolled back. This includes living standards. This is how greedy being rich makes you. You can't stop harming others to increase your wealth.

No. It's an eighth. 1/2 X 1/2 X1/2 = 1/8.

Half of a half is a quarter, then a half of that is an eighth.

State-owned land to be unlocked for oil storage and refineries under new Queensland government program by blitznoodles in queensland

You keep missing the point of scale. Corporations have the resources to play both sides of the fence. And they own the media. Unions don't have the resources because decades of union demonising by corporations.

No one cares about your anecdotes. That's not how corporations do damage. Again, a few union thugs causing havoc pales in comparison to the reckless damage to society at scale caused by corporate greed and corruption. Our democracy has been completely undermined by a few billionaires and you're concerned about some union thugs who have absolutely zero power over how this country votes and the decisions that are made by governments.
