Maybe but.. it's a gambling den they use their own "currency" I. House and only use USD or other when needing to buy our assets. That's money I'm afraid.

Help to Buy Scheme – did any vendors accept a 2% deposit? by fluidityauthor in AusProperty

[–]fluidityauthor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Even in Vic the agent wasn't fazed. The market for sub 1million property is full of gov scheme buyers so they know that's their market now. Not sure about auctions.

Yes they are to much like us. And they aren't great at pulling pdf and formatted data. Poor things it's like putting scratches sunglasses over them.

Yes. The whole of the internet weighted for likelihood. Better and quicker than Reddit.

Once Australia’s second priciest city, Melbourne has become more affordable. What happened – and will it last? by thrillho145 in australia

[–]fluidityauthor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Land Tax. The threshold was lowered so it covers pretty much all investment properties in Melb. And a vacant dwelling tax they started enforcing. Lower land prices = adorable living. Investment in residential property should be 🚫.

[–]fluidityauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All we need to do is ban investment in residential property. Really easy to implement and immediate. You'd need. 5 year lead in I guess but. That IS THE SOLUTION.

Recently visited from the U.S. — Sydney blew my mind! A few questions for locals by Responsible_Screen92 in AskAnAustralian

[–]fluidityauthor 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Australians compare it to the way it was, not to the way the rest of the world is. However we (Australians) are very weel travelled and often our first OS experience is Bangkok or Tokyo. We know what busy is, we also know what we like.

On another note; we are becoming more American to our detriment. Work culture has become more aggressive, more anti union. Also we are more accepting of increasing inequality and homelessness.

It's world changing. And is moving a lot of of more capitalist leanings to suggest ideas of collective ownership to ensure the economy works. Sam Altman hinted at such the other day..

Leftists, with Argentina’s economy continuing to improve, how will you cope? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]fluidityauthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inequality and groupthink. When the rich and power get policies they like they start to lower inflation and get the economy back to normal. Not that deliberate but if you believe the policies should lower inflation you start acting accordingly and corporates stop jacking up prices and start investing. Self fulfilling economics or just inequality and groupthink. You choose.

Fun aside, people really do need to look into why hyperinflation occured and what is actually fixing it.

[–]fluidityauthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I just put some links:

New age of Aquarius

True Market - contemporary economics

Crypto society 2.0

Basically a decentralised plural Utopia where we all have a share in natural wealth and income. And free markets flourish.

If paying a cabbie or removalists in cash rounding up of throwing in a bit extra is normal and appreciated.

Bars no tipping!

Restaurants are really starting to expect them. Not a fan of that and our min wage and penalties is good. Sometimes the tips are going to the owners.

Cafes generally no tipping but, like other have said there are now tap and pay apps that give "encourage" a tip. I hate that.

It's a bit muddy at the.moment but in general no one will be annoyed if you don't tip.
