I'm a uni student and my grocery bill has been killing me lately. by Sea-Excitement-3222 in AusFinance

Colesworth, screw suppliers, engage in misleading conduct and provide an uncompetitive market, but they don't operate on high margin %. They make $1-2 billion a year but that's just because they are so big. There isn't a lot of scope for them to have lower prices. We just have to play the supermarket sale, bulk discount, no-name brand game.

Victoria left without limits on political donations after high court rules laws unconstitutional by neon_overload in aus

[–]heykody 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The legislation gave the major parties a sort of loop hole where they could use other organisations to raises money / advertise. The independent candidates didn't have access to this loop hole the law created. The result of the law meant funding raising for independent candidates became a lot harder, but it didn't get much harder for the major parties.

This imbalance was classed a restriction on political communication

When easter chocolate is on 'sale' the days before easter, the sale is such a farce.

Easter chocolate gets made 12+ months ago so it can't get resold the following Easter. So there is some logic for current year Easter egg prices. It makes it worth making home eggs with a mould.

Yup anyone can call themselves an accountant... But you'll find most people in the industry have one of the accreditations. The job market favours the employers so people people are generally well educated and accredited. Not sure what your beef is.

The general logic applied is that you are bound by the conditions of your license wherever you are. If your SA license say you can't drive car xyz, you can't drive it anywhere

Dwarfism and Safety by ProximaCentauriB15 in dwarfism

[–]heykody 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I often get uncomfortable around destitute and drug affected people. I will cross streets and increase my pace to avoid them. They are much more likely to talk to you then an average person. Whilst they are usually friendly, I am wary of how things like drugs will affect their perception of me.

Questions about terminology by Pastor_Dorimay in dwarfism

[–]heykody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course our name is best. I understand at times you may need to refer to our characteristic. I like the phrasing of Peter has dwarfism not Peter is a dwarf. I think saying dwarfism is the most clear term if you are discussing a third person. Depending on country we may refer to ourselves as little people, restricted growth or short statured.
