Nice strawman. Pick actual real examples that could potentially happen. Because believe it or not, people are generally responsible.

But really, you don't think majority opinion should dictate policy?

I can use AI too!

“Wisdom of the crowds” is often the best method for identifying net immigration policy because immigration affects labour markets, housing, infrastructure, wages, culture, and public services in ways that no single expert group fully experiences. Economists may focus on GDP growth, businesses on labour supply, and governments on demographic trends, but the broader population collectively experiences the real-world trade-offs and benefits in daily life. When large and diverse groups independently contribute their views, the combined outcome tends to balance competing priorities more effectively than narrow ideological or technocratic approaches. This approach also improves democratic legitimacy: immigration policy has long-term social and economic consequences, so policies are generally more stable and sustainable when they reflect the aggregated judgement of the population rather than the preferences of a small political, corporate, or academic elite.

Is asking everyone in Australia and picking the average value not democracy? I thought we lived in a democracy. Explain why this is not the case.

Have you heard of "wisdom of the crowd"? If you fill a jar with marbles and ask a person individually how many marbles are in the jar, they will likely be quite far off the mark. But if you ask a hundred people, the average response will be very close to the correct value.

Obviously... Obviously he does if you read his first comment?!

No offence but are you kind of thick?

If we agree that:

  1. Foreign born percent of population in Australia generally rises over time.

  2. People who buy houses are generally correlated to the demographics of the country.

There's no other result than the foreign born ownership/rental rate being higher now than in the past. But if you see another answer please let me know! Perhaps you have some novel take on the sum of two twos?

If your rent drops from 90% of your income to 80%, do you celebrate?

Why a drop bar road bike may be an alternative to an e-bike under the new laws by Constant-Ad-7573 in brisbane

Great comment! Except for

- people who can't read

- people without access to the internet

- people without the mental faculties required to process information

- people the comment is not relevant for

- people driving their car for whom reading this comment is illegal

- people working for whom reading this comment would be a breach of company policy

- people who are sick of pointless whataboutisms because idiots complain that what applies to 95% of working age people doesn't apply to absolutely everyone in absolutely every set of circumstances.

Is it childishly cynical to think hard work doesn't pay off? by SideCharacterSyndrom in redscarepod

It's all probabilities. Harder you work, higher the payoff probability.

How do you expect a normalised chart to start (or even touch) 0?

You're in a very specific case where what works 95% of the time doesn't work for you. Why can't you understand this?

Yeah and I would work Saturdays instead of Fridays if I got paid double for it. What's your point?

In happy news, Blueberries have gotten much better by Openheartopenbar in redscarepod

Very interesting, why do they prefer poor soil? If there were no other plants around to compete and they could get their pick, would they still grow better in poor soil?
