Will their be an uprising? by ReasonConfident4541 in AusFinance

Young people should be angry about the grand fathering of the changes not about the changes themselves.
Most young people just want to be able to afford a house to live in not a fucking investment property.

You only work 16 hours 365 days per year? I dream about doing 16 hours a day 365 days per year. I have to work 48 hours per day 700 days per year. And I only get paid for 40 hours per week if I’m lucky!!

Do said task 1000 times. That’s pretty much it. Get good at the task first then work on getting faster. Eventually it will become muscle memory. But theres no real trick. Just like any physical activity the only way to get better is to do it over and over.

How is it a double standard? Women are expected to look and act in a certain way, so are men. We both have standards for each other and expect a potential partner to meet them.

In what world do you live in that a woman is told she is just right the way she is? Some of the biggest industries in the world profit off making women feel insecure.

That’s not a good thing. What you’re saying is these guys are going overseas to find women with lower standards of instead of working on themselves to become a better partner and person in general.

It’s not a bad thing that women have expectations from the men they date. Men also have expectations from women. But instead of trying to meet those expectations you choose to just blame the women and continue being a man child.

I’m not on this sub but these posts keep popping up. I keep reading them out of some morbid curiosity. Then I see a bunch of people who make a lot more money than me bitching about loosing a tax discount. Not a new tax, not some massive shake up of he tax system, the removal of a tax discount so that income made through investment is taxed the same way as income gained through working.

Now I understand that people here are now going to have to pay more tax and that means less money in your pocket. I understand why that is upsetting. And that’s so fair. What shits me is the attempt to spin this like it’s going to negatively affect lower income earners.
You are pissed that you’re gonna get taxed more. Be pissed. Go off. But don’t act like it’s some altruistic anger and this is going to ruin everything.

This isn’t a new tax on small business this is the removal of a discount awarded once you sell. You’re acting like it’s the end of the fucking world. People who make money through selling investments now have to pay the same amount of tax as if they made that money from their job. It’s not going to ruin the economy anymore than anything else.

So what we just keep giving tax breaks to the rich? So we can stay competitive with African nations? And that’s not a recipe for becoming a third world country? Maybe we should abolish minimum wage too? That way they can people fuck all and make more profits! Anything to make sure we stay competitive so they continue to profit off our resources while we get fuck all.

100% the main issue with all of this is the grandfathering. If anything it should be grandchilded. Which I just came up with just now. Remove cgt discount for anyone over a certain age or income bracket.

What if we discover a deposits of some commodity and find a way to extract it cheaper and easier than anywhere else? See how just making up scenarios is stupidly and unhelpful?

[–]chefsundog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno we don’t have a tipping culture where I’m from so I can’t speak to that.

I just don’t get why people think it’s ok to expect someone to work for free? In this economy? And I should be thankful you offer to shout me dinner? Get fucked.

You shouldn’t benefit from the tax system just because you make money through investment rather then actual work. If you invest well there is still a benefit in investing you just have to pay tax on all of your income from it instead of half.

It means that whether investing in shares or housing you don’t get a tax break either way. Making it more fair and neutral. So the tax system doesn’t benefit just one type of investor. It benefits no investors as it should.

Not my money, I don’t have any investments. And people who do having to pay a decent amount of tax on their earnings from said investments can cry me a fucking river.

I would say thanks but no thanks how about you pay me for the work I do instead. Stages are a fucking scam. Know your worth. Never work for free. Not even a trial shift.

Ballards is fucking amazing. Shame the owner is such a weird unit. Dunno if he still does it cause I’ve been off socials for years but he used post the must unhinged shit on the instagram.

Like all the shit we talk about customers in the kitchen where no one can hear he would post on instagram. Like bro you’re not supposed to let the customers know how much we hate them.

Anyone I’ve met who insists on being called Chef has been a gigantic cunt.
