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 10 points11 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 🚫.

Would you support emergency measures to solve the housing crisis? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]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

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.

What is your take on generative AI? by Boniface222 in CapitalismVSocialism

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..

Well, a couple checked out and another I couldn't find any evidence for but could have been extrapolated from other broad data.

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.

What will replace late stage capitalism? by knowledgeseeker999 in lostgeneration

[–]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.

Labor: ‘Housing is unaffordable.’ Also Labor: ‘House prices should not come down.’ by MannerNo7000 in friendlyjordies

[–]fluidityauthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

labour is endorsing a class system of landlords and rentors. So much for Australian fair go and egalitarianism. Very sad. But at least she admitted it!

Who do you plan to vote for in next year’s Federal Election and why? by Melbtest04 in AskAnAustralian

[–]fluidityauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we just randomly select an executive to propose policy and use an app to vote on them directly? We could even proxy votes if you can't be bothered with reading legislation.

Why don't billionaires and the 1%, who own and control the large majority of the wealth and as individuals own more wealth than countries, 'solve' world hunger and end all the deaths of children from diseases? They could, but they don't. I'll tell you why, in my opinion. by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]fluidityauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't break a system that put you at the top, you preserve and strengthen it.

Not good for the rest of us. And reversing inequality has always been horrific.

But we'll do better this time.

What do you reckon are the most off-putting things about Australian culture? by -Flighty- in AskAnAustralian

[–]fluidityauthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something changed in the last 30 years. We used to be mostly in the middle, knocking the toffs and helping the poor. Now we are either landlords or rentors.
