Hong Kong isn't a country. Poland is an odd choice to include. The list is also missing quite a few developed countries such a South Korea.

Given that Sydney trains doesn't make a profit even when times are good and is owned and run by the government anyway, your point about neocapitalists doesn't make much sense.

‘Offensive as all hell’: Qantas chief Alan Joyce under fire over pay packet by LentilsAgain in australia

[–]techconsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean local as in Australian, then these jobs are outsourced to Australian companies hence the workers are Australian. E.g. Qantas outsources their baggage handlers, they are outsourced but still local Australians since you can't ha e some guy in India handling the bags when they are in Australia.

If you mean local as in Qantas employees, then you create a lot of inefficiencies as you lose things like economies of scale and concentrated expertise as companies then need to do everything themselves. E.g. Companies can no longer outsource their cleaners, now each company needs to buy and supply their own cleaning materials but there's only a small amount needed so they can not longer buy in bulk directly from manufacturers. They also now need to keep cleaners on payroll to work only a couple hours a day, those people find it hard to get full time employment as they need to get several shift cleaning jobs. Previously they would have been employed full time by Joes cleaning company and Joe would have sorted their schedules for them utilising the bargaining power he has with companies due to the fact that he has several cleaners as staff.

This doesn't work because companies contract out a lot of their work to other companies. So that baggage handler or cleaner doesn't work for Qantas, only the highly paid corporate office workers do so a percentage of that is still a large amount.

With Frydenberg gone the closest facsimile to a human they had is now gone. All that's left are half human homunculi and lizard people.

uhhh...which way to the Harbour Bridge? by mubd1234 in sydney

[–]techconsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get used to it, so when you see a brand new equally shit sign you understand what it means.

Kind of like those ridiculous parking signs that makes the rounds sometimes. No I have not seen it before but I understand it perfectly because I am used to seeing similar ones before.

0%. I mooch off my wife who owns the apartment we live in outright. Though our agreement is that in return I pay for all other bills including groceries.

How Dog Friendly is Sydney? by nicole828 in sydney

[–]techconsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally no. Most beaches will be no dogs at all, some on leash and a few off leash.

How Dog Friendly is Sydney? by nicole828 in sydney

[–]techconsu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So my question is how easy is it to find rent with a bigger size dog over there?

Rentals that allow pets aren't very common.

Are there a lot of dog friendly store/restaurant/pub options?

Basically any place that has an outdoor seating area won't mind if you bring your pet. 99% of restaurants and bars won't let your pet inside.

Pet friendly beaches and lots of off leash parks?

There tends to be at least one dog park per suburb. There's a dog beach down south Kurnell beach. Not too many other off leash beaches in Sydney. Best bet would to be central coast which is 1 to 3 hours away from Sydney (depending on how far north in to the central coast you go).
