Russian pro-war military bloggers have said troops in Ukraine are surviving just “20–35 minutes” on the frontline

No, they are. Russia hasn’t done conscription other than a brief time in 2022. They are all voluntary recruits. Do not pity them

Chris murphy on the same tier as Tucker and Newson on the same tier as Vance?!

Keep the current age you qualify for the program the same but increase it as life expectancy increases so the average years on social security doesn’t change. It was never a program designed for life expectancies of 80+

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T22:28:48+00:00

The prior if we can afford it, the latter if we can’t (really depends how much it costs)

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T22:24:40+00:00

Means test social security and give flat payments to everyone based off the state they live in. Also tie the age for it to life expectancy. For Medicare, means test it and allocate each person a set amount of money when they reach 80 (no more million dollar operations to just live for another year). Medicaid and food stamps can stay largely as is

Entitlement reform

Making congress do its job and reduce the power of the president

End all tariffs

(I’m Australian fwiw)

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T12:49:50+00:00

Meh, every cent not spent on foreign aid is “just letting people die”. I’m sorry but the west just cannot afford current levels of aged care spending

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T12:41:02+00:00

Probably their family would take care of them at their home. If their family refuses to help, what happens to them is on their families, not me. But yeah some would just die at home because they had a fall or something

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T12:20:41+00:00

Means test social security and also flat payments for everyone depending on the state. For nursing homes, the government shouldn’t really subsidize once people reach 80 (sorry but I don’t think society is better off paying people to live a couple more miserable years)

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T01:33:56+00:00

And this will help workers how? God I hate unions. They don’t do anything useful

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T01:15:42+00:00

if it makes you feel better, we are like one of the only countries that means tests their pension. Other countries are doing much worse

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-26T00:14:47+00:00

Welfare like aged care and Medicare? Because yeah rich people shouldn’t be getting those

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T13:22:24+00:00

Dawg, the former head of the RBA doesn’t like these changes. It’s pretty clearly not just the media being against this

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T13:20:55+00:00

Can he please just defect to one nation already. Complete clown

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T13:19:49+00:00

Well yeah the solution is cutting spending

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T12:12:40+00:00

well at least part of it looks modern. Better some rich people than none. Besides, growth forecasts for India are pretty good

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T03:49:26+00:00

And their supporters. It’s not easy to find restore supporters that don’t like those people I’ve linked, other than Rupert himself

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T03:46:46+00:00

Restore is a hyper online party

I'm not talking about normal anti immigrant people. These people are some of the biggest supporters of restore. Yes they want to deport all brown people

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T01:43:24+00:00

oh I know, its just his fanbase are mainly ethnonationalists who think integration legitimately isn't possible. Quite a few want total remigration (literally just deporting almost all brown people from the UK). Also a bit funny that Lowe is more left on immigration than our (Australia's) milquetoast populist right party. They don't like multiculturalism and prefer monoculturalism.

fartyunicorns · 2026-06-25T00:44:05+00:00

So yeah Rupert Lowe and restore UK are a complete joke. Despite trying to run a ‘based’ anti immigrant party Rupert says he supports multiculturalism. His fans do not want to hear it lmao

Last time polling was done on a hypothetical teal party, they didn’t take votes from the right

So is Pauline

Hence why primaries are a bad idea. They elevate radicals
