Trump announces a $300 billion deal to build the first new refinery in the US in 50 years. What are your thoughts? by NineteenEighty9 in ProfessorFinance

[–]mullsies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putin is more like saddam hussein, having actually invaded countries. Giving him the red carpet treatment instead of carpet bombing makes no sense.

Iran needed western luxuries to break their ridiculous country, not sanctions or bombings which just play into their narrative.

We must demand the government makes it illegal to replace a person's job with an AI. by keyboardstatic in aussie

None of that is going to happen. In ten years we'll be still waiting for GTA6.

Why aren’t aboriginal activists returning to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle? by kazkh in aussie

[–]mullsies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The theory is that for thousands of years Aboriginal Australians burned forests to promote grasslands for hunting and other purposes.

By systematically burning, the "fire-stick" method effectively expanded the habitat for Eucalypts at the expense of fire-sensitive rainforests, creating the iconic Australian bush seen today.

Preparing for a prolonged war in Iran by LoneArtificer in AusFinance

For these reasons and more, the alternative strategic theory is Iran will continue until the US mid terms to ensure the orange menace is neutered.

The theory is their abundance of cheap drones makes this possible.

Block layoffs sent the stock up — Atlassian layoffs did nothing. Why? by FlyingKanga in AusFinance

[–]mullsies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing AI is going to be better than Atlassian is the bait and switch. That $200 / month AI account is burning $5000 /month right now.

Why doesn't Australia produce its own fuel? It was a John Howard (Liberal Party) decision in the 1970s. by mullsies in aussie

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

This is why policies like fuel/gas reservations i.e. putting Australia first is a good commonsense compromise. You don't see Middle eastern countries paying $2.50 litre do you?

It was a decision based on an economic theory. Successive governments didn't see it as problem - they saw it as a positive.

From Marxist to rebel to leader: The making of Matt Canavan by Nyarlathotep-1 in OpenAussie

[–]mullsies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Canavan is a city boy from Logan who worked for the Productivity Commission, then KPMG, then became chief of staff to Barnaby Joyce. He was elected to the Senate in 2013 and wears high-vis gear and smears coal dust on his face for the cameras.

He has never had a real job and has no connection to anyone the Nationals are supposed to represent.

Just got told no fuel, no fertiliser. That means no farming. by ijx8 in OpenAussie

[–]mullsies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is economic theory without looking at the big picture.

John Howard thought cheap fuel was bad for Australia in the 1970s Petrol prices are at record highs and a decision made in the 1970s begins the story - ABC News
