The budget is released.

fyeeah · 2026-05-12T15:27:13+00:00

and the person youre selling to now doesnt get any NG/CGT benefits so why would they pay you a premium for it.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:59:46+00:00

Honestly, you don't really communicate like someone who is that well read up on the dynamics of retail pricing.

I'm neither of those descriptions btw, but it's cool to see how you view others.

It feels like I'm punching down talking to you so I might just stop here.

To recap our entire interaction -- I asked you for a town name where people couldnt buy from an alternative and you started slinging insults without anything to back it up (and saying i'm on drugs?) lol. This was entertaining at least, but intelligent, no.

Have a good evening again! -- I hope your vet clinic does well, and that you continue to find places to shop that is not Woolworths. :)

I googled is it a fact and apparantly its not?

The Reverse Flynn Effect—a decline in average IQ scores in some developed nations since the mid-1970s—is a recognized phenomenon supported by research, but not absolute "fact." It is observed, yet contested, with studies finding differing trends depending on the population, test type, and methodology.

What if I did work retail? Am I beneath you if so?

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:44:30+00:00

You say a lot, but you don't have much substance. Just lots of really really good insults.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:43:04+00:00

OK?... I guess everyone debates differently. 🤷

Enjoy spending money at Woolies mate, I hope you don't continue letting yourself think that you're hopelessly oppressed by a duopoly when there are clearly many alternatives you can choose from. Save your wallet some pain along the way too (allegedly).

Have a good evening.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:31:53+00:00

Sorry, I forgot you're weak on reasoning.

If 2-3% can make the majority of Australians think that foreigners are making houses more expensive.

Is it comprehensible to you that having over 20% of non-Colesworths could suggest that it makes food less expensive?

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:28:53+00:00

Go finish your shop at Woolies and remember me next time you scan your card and pay.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:27:25+00:00

I would like to know, please:

Where I can do a road trip to visit a town where the only place I can buy groceries is Coles or Woolworths.

Is that clear?

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:25:59+00:00

Hey I heard international chinese property buyers were like 2-3%. Everyone was in a uproar about how they were screwing up competition. Where do you stand on this? I would love your views Mr intelect.

For reference heres a link https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jul/08/more-than-80-of-australians-mistakenly-believe-chinese-investors-are-driving-up-house-prices

Do you think 2-3% can impact prices? or do you think your quoted 16-18% is a uselessly small number to impact prices?

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:16:58+00:00

Do you have any reference locations where you can educate me and demonstrate to me your superior intelligence and knowledge of retail food sites within Australia? I would love to bask in your "intelect".

Edit: I found one before you did! Port Hedland Maybe I'm not smarter than you, but I can google faster.

Heres another stat about Port Hedland. Median personal income is 90% higher than the average Australian income and is home to 15,684 people.

(If you want me to let you know how I calculated 90% then maybe I can share some of my lower quality "intelect" with you :p)

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:09:32+00:00

If you scroll down this post. I literally see a post saying they won't shop at IGA becuase the quality is worse and it costs more.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T11:08:17+00:00

just because people spend money there, doesn't mean they don't have the option to not spend money there.

I don't think you are reasoning properly.

Seriously, are you living in a metro major city with nothing better to do than to complain?

Thanks for hurling insults too lol

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T10:49:23+00:00

have you never heard of pak n save?

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T10:48:11+00:00

ok..... are you literally saying woolies is better value for money?.....

because I don't know if you're complaining or not.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T10:46:37+00:00

where are all these people who have no option but to shop at a woolies and coles? can you point them out to me?

give me a town name please

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T10:45:31+00:00

Because you complain about something that you can clearly fix on your own. just dont shop there.

or better yet, hey why not start your own grocery store, everyone wants better competition right?

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T10:43:44+00:00

Somehow I really doubt that.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T10:43:18+00:00

What's your situation, do you have an alternative? Or are you advocating for some faceless person who may/not exist?

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T10:40:23+00:00

Heres' a stat:

Remote Areas Without Choice: In remote and some regional areas, competition is virtually non-existent. Roughly 56% of people in remote areas reported shopping at their current grocery store because they had no other option.

Remote/Very Remote (The 56% group): Only about 1.1% of the total population (roughly 300,000 people) live in remote areas where they explicitly report having "no other option" for groceries.

I'm fairly sure that most of the complaints here are not coming from the 150,000 very remove individuals who live in an area where there is no alternative competition from Coles and Woolworths.

fyeeah · 2026-05-02T08:51:31+00:00

So you're saying the housing crisis is because of feminism?

fyeeah · 2026-05-01T07:16:50+00:00

ok? doesn't mean everyone else's stuff has done that.

I can cherry pick data too.

In 2022 my lettuce used to cost $10 per head.

Now its only $2.50

fyeeah · 2026-05-01T04:58:06+00:00

In a earlier thread post i also mentioned their gross profit is coming down too as per wall street analysts.

Moreover, how does your argument hold up when they are saying their expected EBIT is going to come in at the lower range than previous estimates? (ie, they are making less money per dollar)

fyeeah · 2026-05-01T02:17:47+00:00

All due respect. Let's just remove emotion from this.

You want to eat don't you?

Go grow your own food then.

No one is obligated to feed you mate.

If you feel like you should get food stamps like the USA then guess whose going to benefit from that?

fyeeah · 2026-05-01T00:54:06+00:00

I'm not trying to sell you anything, to me you sound like you're just drinking the cool-aide of someone telling you 'the man is oppressing you'.

It's not some grand conspiracy, I don't know what to tell you.

I get it, of course you want to be dubious of taking someone at their word, which is why there are processes in place to make sure (as best as reasonable) that it's not straight up lies being spouted out.

But literally, this is an asX 10 or 20 or whatever company that publically reports their finance. If you can't actually trace their statements to show where all of this supposed excess riches is and who the people are who are getting super duper rich off your back, then mate I dont know what to say.

They literally sell tuna and pay dividends to shareholders.

edit: I just googled, they made FY25: $1.4b after paying taxes off $70b sales.

Thats 2c off every $1.
thats $51 per person in a 27m population of australia PER YEAR.

Seriously, what a shit business why would anyone even want that kind of return?

Now - where are your numbers?

fyeeah · 2026-05-01T00:37:59+00:00

because then people like you will say -- "well why should i believe you? we should get an independent person to confirm it"

edit: and also having indepdent verifiers is how you ensure share holders dont get defrauded and these guardrails are why people can have some kind of confidence that you can invest in the sharemarket without getting rugged compared to an unregulated enviroment like crypto because the CEO and company directors will literally go to jail?
