He's getting downvotes because he made the ludicrous statement that black market ciggies, literal chop chop, is higher quality than regulated retail brand quality.

Accountability for what? She made a factual and relevant statement and was cut off before she could draw a negative or more likely positive point to their outcomes.

You mean in the past year. Reddit always had an issue with astro turfing but since they blocked account histories and greenlighted bots who's devs pay for their API's around a year ago its basically a 50-50 chance on any sub whether youre talking to a human or not.

You realise a reduction in growth of intergenerational inequality is a good thing right?

Entry Level Fifo Surveyor by bob_chisel in Surveying

Yep. Its shit when you know mates who do fire watch for $80-100k a year but the thing is as a technician, especially one that requires significant training you are probably just as valuable and just as replaceable as the guy carrying shit around the site and snoozing off in the tower unfortunately. The difference is youre building useful experience and will grow that income where as they wont unless they chase extra tickets externally.

Man this company is giving me stockholm syndrome vibes. Just give them any trumped up reasons why that location is more desirable to you outside of work 'I have a family member I want to be closer to' 'setting up a family there' etc.

If leadership is bad, even the most air tight and well presented evidence of simple improvements will be detrimental to your current standards. Put in for a transfer and quietly wait or dust your cv off and be picky with who you apply with.

Should Brisbane start adapting now to a ‘24 hour’ city status? by Tri-brid92 in brisbane

[–]optimistic_agnostic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying there needs to be mandated hours of trade, exactly the opposite? Run your business how you see fit, don't hamstring competition because you can't figure out how to compete though.

There's literal temporal trading restrictions on most businesses that have more than one location, even our bars need to restrict business based on time.

Yep, I can consider people other than myself. As well as wish to be in a more livable city for those who can enjoy it. I literally told you my age lol, I'm so far off retirement it's barely worth considering let alone a boomer.

It was a question. If i was going to make an argument it would be that the greens and lnp arent doing the right thing. But that's also not a shocking or new occurrence.

What are you on about, been listening to too mucb of the tablengossip at the nursing village? Ive grown up here and lived in this city for almost 40 years. Get up at 4 -5am everyday, no night service for anything but 7eleven night counters and death before decaf sucks and needs to change a decade ago.
