The Election: Is it Over Yet?

‘I mean, are people that mind numbingly fucking stupid?’

Does the name ‘Neil of Sydney’ ring any bells ??

“Loathsome policies? Like what.”

That’s what I thought. If he’s talking about offshore detention (which I agree with) then the other 50% of the population must also agree with these so called “loathsome” policies.

So put up or shut up.

What are these “loathsome” policies ?

The Greens seem to be doing the right thing get rid of Albanese – he’ll be locked into defending his seat rather than out on the campaign trail.

Then talking up the prospect of a coalition with the ALP.

Let’s talk about how great that coalition would be!

Oh for fuck’s sake………………..

Bring on the BREXIT vote

“The EU is poised to ban high-powered appliances such as kettles, toasters and hair-dryers within months of Britain’s referendum vote, despite senior officials admitting the plan has brought them “ridicule……………………….”.

PLUMBERS and electricians are Australia’s richest tradies, charging more than double what the average lawyer earns.
National figures from job quote website serviceseeking.com.au reveal the average plumber charges $78.40 an hour, up 1.9 per cent on last year, and the average electrician charges $74.61 an hour, up 4 per cent.
The average lawyer, by comparison, earns $37 an hour, according to PayScale.

Lawyers need a union!

Folks, Morrison & co flat out lying on RBA – serious concerns about negative gearing are also OFFICIAL!

Not sure what Turnbull has said but i think the low interest rates are encouraging property investment. If interest rates go back up to normal levels i think there will be less property investment.

And i am not sure what the solution is. I guess lefties say NG is pushing up property prices pushing people out of owning their own homes. But who knows? Maybe it is foreign ownership of property not NG per se that is causing housing price increases. I can remember in the late 1980’s property prices doubled in Sydney.

I defy anyone to find an unsold NEW house or apartment in Sydney that would fit into the ALP’s NG policy.

Its going to force investors into off the plan purchases with much greater risks attached.

There goes your new housing supply

I tend to think the NG policy will encourage investors to demolish pleasant heritage/period homes and build new ones.

So you think NG is bad and should be abolished. That’s OK. But what i do not understand is why do lefties bring out these questions when the Coalition is in power? I can tell you right now if Shorten was in power lefties would not even bring up the topic.

So this is an addition to an attractive period home, preserving the streetscape. Can the home be negatively geared?

This is an ugly home in a period suburb. This development is what the ALP is encouraging as a tax deduction…
http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/bdb907ca89be3b0b1af13d92cf3e5d8d?width=650

Pretty sure a heritage home CAN’T be knocked down yomm.

That’s kinda the point of the ‘heritage’ part of it 😉

Yeah, right, exactly the answer I expected. The heritage overlay will protect us from building lots of mcmansions to replace period homes.

***SURE***

I think you usually say – ROFL – or something.

The fact is that there are swathes of attractive suburbs that are full of 70 or 80 year old homes, the volume of the homes is what makes the streetscape attractive.

…but the ALP policy is to give a tax break to the developers that want to knock them over and put up mcmansions!

Your new next door neighbour – thanks to the ALP!

Because right now …. that just doesn’t happen ROFL

It happens now that existing properties and new ones are given equal tax treatment.

BUT… it is the ALP policy to prefer demolition of period homes, so they should be pleased when swathes of houses in attractive streets are demolished and mcmansions or the like replace them.

GO ALP!!

It should be a “what’s the GST on this cake” moment.

Will Laurie Oakes ask the question?

BUT… it is the ALP policy to prefer demolition of period homes

What is wrong with that? if they are worth protecting, they are protected, else, it’s called progress.

All of a sudden, yomm is against progress?

Well, that really has always been the case

FMD what nonsense …

As I said above, if that is their argument, they’ve lost already 😉

AND, if you want to argue birthday cakes, I’m just dying to see malcayman argue how enabling paying someone $4/hr is going to help someone with an award rate job?

Happy birthday talcum

“As I said above, if that is their argument, they’ve lost already”

Think what you want………we have’nt even touched on rent effects

“Indeed. A point lost on the pantswetters.”

Not when you are talking about bank lending valuation ratios it’s not.

Any low iq moron can work that out.

We end up with a market flooded with supply into the market but bank valuations and loans fixed on previous values.

Oh I forgot you are one special type of moron

…and thanks to the ALP there will be a tax incentive to demolish period homes and put up mcmansions.

So the ALP will take my taxes and give the cash to a developer who wishes to bulldoze existing houses!

The guy who is bidding for the house in order to keep the period home as an investment – gets nothing!

There goes the neighbourhood!

“Depends on how many NG properties you have to defend … hey, walter? ”

Errr……………….I dont have any.

That’s because I couldn’t be bothered with arsehole tenants. And the ASX offers a better return on average

…and thanks to the ALP there will be a tax incentive to demolish period homes and put up mcmansions.

There already is. Which is why we have heritage listings. You really are quite slow.

I note that nobody wants to talk about the (possibly) illegal intern rort that longtime rorter of the low paid malcayman wants to inflict on the poorest.

Just a few months ago, weren’t some suckers still rabbiting on about how ‘progressive’ our malcayman was/is?

“Of all the important and serious issues discussed in the article, picking the fact that Storrar doesn’t pay net tax and splashing it over the front page is a pretty cynical exercise in punching down on the Oz‘s part.”

How can it be cynical when the stupid cnut demanded a tax cut on the zero tax he already pays.

The son he got addicted to drugs not so much.

Wow, it doesn’t take long for the ad homs to start does it.

Maybe we could argue, ‘the son an unfair society helped to get addicted to drugs’?

What is it with rich fucks blaming the parents … until it is the offspring of a rich fuck?

Then, he’s just got in with a poor crowd 😉

Has there been any other person having this ‘vision’ of events to come, other than yourself tomM?

I don’t know AO, but the logic of providing tax relief to people who build new homes (and therefore have to demolish existing homes if they wish to invest in established areas) while denying the tax relief to anyone who would prefer to preserve the existing homes – seems unarguable.

Even Tom R isn’t arguing that point, he just says – rely on heritage preservation rules!
And relying on this when there is a tax incentive to demolish is hilarious!

“Let greedy investors play with shares.”

I trust you have elected to have your Superfund in 100% cash. Otherwise you’d be a hypocrite…………….wouldn’t you ??????????????????

A cynic might think that all the furore over his drug use and relationship with his son seems like a smokescreen to diminish and detract from the point he was making, in my not so humble opinion…

Shit, you’ve just cast me asa cynic too reb …. ME!

I recall the same thing happening when a person of a darker hue asked a very pertinent question, and a furor erupted over hte colour of his skin, rather than hte question.

Who led that jihad again?

And, do they pay the same effective tax rate as someone on minimum wage does?

oops, linksy for above

Say goodbye to this once the demolishers/developers get a tax incentive that the preservers don’t!

The enduring appeal of Australian Federation architecture

Federation housing (1888-1919) comes in a variety of sizes – including semi-detached– and in a couple of sub-groups, such as Arts and Crafts, which heritage architect Ian Stapleton of Sydney’s Clive Lucas, Stapleton and Partners, explains as being “usually architect-designed rather than builder-designed”.
He explains this gracious residential typology that combines the qualities of British Queen Anne Revival and American Stick Style as “something terrific, because apart from Colonial, it was an Australian type of architecture”.

http://www.domain.com.au/advice/whats-so-fabulous-about-federation-20160509-goqe0u/

So it’s fantasy to say some people take advantage of tax incentives and benefits, that’s odd TB, because I thought that view was part of your political orientation.

Just another grandstanding pollie who doesn’t understand what he is talking about.

Another option is that Dastyari knows exactly what he is talking about but is deceiving the people he is talking to.

My opinion of the ALP and its supporters is that they are masters at deceiving people

What? You have someone –
*with a long criminal record
*that makes contentious remarks
*on a (taxpayer funded) national current affairs program,
*then gets a whole lot of money and
*gets to be some kind of notoriety and
*lots of acclamation
…and his own criminal background isn’t supposed to be an issue?????

The idea that a convicted criminal is a spokesperson/role model for the wailing left is hilarious

No. But if you have a background that you don’t like being in the media, don’t bother to go on the media.

“A violent drug-fucked criminal is now the poster boy for the ALP.”

Yeah………and his ex partner is scared of him.

Hypocrites like AO and TomR get on here and malign Abbott for alleged misogyny BS but here they are holding up as a champion Duncan.

Plus they embrace all things Islamic when it condones stoning and general repression of women

There is no bounds to their hypocrisy

a drug addled criminal who pays no tax

You got a link for that, else perhaps you’d like to recant?

“Look over there” is as dumb an argument

So, why are you lot and the assembled right wing throng playing it, instead of addressing the perfectly legitimate question as asked

“Why don’t I get it? Why do they get it?” (tax cuts, for the slow ones)

So all people on over $80K p.a. getting a tax cut are part of the “ruling classes” obviously.

except that, not all people over $80K p.a. getting a tax cut are complaining about a very simple question, are they. Just few right wing morons

Perhaps reflect on how dumb your position is before throwing the word around 😉

Yeah! $80k is the ruling class????

Yomm joins wally in the dunces corner lol

TR did you say ruling class or was it the usual – he said?

I certainly said ruling class TB, I didn’t say anything about it being people on over $80k

See how stupid works? Me neither 😉

combine fiction with fact to confuse and obfuscate

Get stuffed. That is the ALP purpose.

I still remember the very first lie i was told by ALP supporters back on Dunlops blog in 2007.
Unemployment went from 8% in 1996 to 4% in 2007. ALP supporters said Howard changed the way the unemployment rate was determined so the unemployment rate was manipulated.

Never in all my life have i seen more deceitful people than ALP supporters.

If you can’t handle a question that challenges your world view – without personally attacking the man who asks it – you’re not mature enough to watch live TV…

Are we going to hold everyone to that standard?

You mean like all those who attacked Duncan rather than address his question yomm?

Those people?

I have a suspicion that when the next polls come out my sense of humour will ratchet up a notch too

Well if Labor gets back in you can show us how it is done

We can go back to building FTTP and you can show us how wrong the Coalition was to do FTTN.

You can get the budget back into surplus. Only fair since Labor got it into deficit in the first place.

And you can allow open borders and see if you can break the record of Labor locking up 8,469 children.

not to get them addicted to drugs like he did to his son.

Do you have evidence for that smear or just hearsay?

Oh nil, the abc supports Labor because of

ALP refused to guarantee penalty rates!

HILARIOUS!!

Labor’s workplace relations spokesman has repeatedly refused to guarantee that weekend penalty rates would not be cut under a Shorten government, despite the opposition making the issue a key part of its campaign strategy.
In a fiery interview on Melbourne radio station 3AW on Monday, host Neil Mitchell castigated Brendan O’Connor for saying voters should await the final decision of the independent industrial umpire.

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten later also refused to guarantee penalty rates would not fall under Labor, while saying only his party could be trusted to protect the “penalty rates system”.

Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/federal-election-2016/election-2016-brendan-oconnor-refuses-to-guarantee-penalty-rates-in-trainwreck-interview-20160516-govx1s.html#ixzz48mQZeYSX

What else should they do yomm?

The question arises because the Greens have said they would legislate the penalties, Shorten won’t support this.

I listened to Kim Carr obfuscate around the same issue on the ABC this morning.

…so the ALP and Liberals have the same policy on penalty rate, that’s nice to know.

The question arises because the Greens have said they would legislate the penalties, Shorten won’t support this.

Which is quite stupid, as O’Connor pointed out to dil mitchell this morning.

…so the ALP and Liberals have the same policy on penalty rate, that’s nice to know.

Except that we know that the libs want to remove the umpire, and make their own rules.

Still no position on Duncan’s question yet I note. Easier to bash the questioner than face the question, isn’t it?

wait for the decision of the umpire re penalty rates.

And, you have a problem with that?

it seems they have the same policy.

“seems”?

and I suspect some people will find legislative protection attractive.

Which they have, under Labors system.

Of course, the Greens will play petty politics, and misrepresent what they are “legislating”

They are legislating effectively a fixed rate, not a penalty rate. Penalty rates are able to be traded, the Greens would see an end to that. It is stupid. It is why I always choose Labor over the Greens, reality rules.

What a cringeworthy article, And from the same guy who attacked Gillard continually for a renovation (already cleared) from 30 years ago.

The fact is that it is highly unlikely that Turnbull has done anything wrong – as it turns out the business ultimately failed, and never earned any taxable profit to be taxed.

But did he make a profit sinclair? I did read he got ‘fees’ (in the millions?)

But, ignore all that for a moment. This is the PM of a country who is currently debating these kinds of ‘tax dodges’

So yes sinclair, that is “what” that he is named as a tax dodger. Put that into perspective when he argues FOR the dodgers.

Duncan should stay out of the media if he prefers anonymity.

No one said he wanted anonymity yomm. I mean, he wasn’t wearing a bur-qua or anything, was he. But, does asking a question require a forensic breakdown of your entire life to be plastered onto the front page of a paper, with specific attention given to unsubstantiated hearsay from people who may not have your best interests at heart?

so what part of that did I get wrong?

Drug addled. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t on drugs at the time, and there is nothing in any of the smear that points to his mind being addled by drugs at all, simply that he has taken them (in fact, lots do)

Oh, and I note that, even though you found time to further smear Duncan, you STILL haven’t been able to face his question.

That alone speaks volumes.

Well, personally I think I pay quite enough tax, and I recently had to write a painful cheque for a whole lot more!

So perhaps if Duncan spent a little less on dope, he’d have enough to take his kids to the pictures.

What? Giving people that pay little or no tax a tax cut, when I think I could do with supporting a few less drug addled welfare recipients and chain dragging public servants.

Well I look at the amount of tax I pay – and think FMD! And People want me to pay more to give public servants a pay rise or to give even more to welfare recipients

No, I don’t know about everyone else, but I pay quite enough in tax, and I think I should pay less

So what %age do you pay?

Is that on ALL his income, or just the “taxable” part?

I pay plenty of tax, and suggesting I cough up more to help people like Duncan buy more dope doesn’t really make sense to me.

People like Duncan should have their welfare payments quarantined so that they can’t buy narcotics.

Nothing you say is ever correct.

extrapolation? just count the actual numbers not a fear mongering extrapolation of a cherry picked amount.

What? I said Labor let in 50,000 boat people from 2007-2013 which is correct. Then TB jumped in and said my claim was rubbish and gave a link. It was the link that was rubbish. Then you jumped in to confuse things.

# ,, l don`t know that there would be any point kneel. One of the ex-telecom`s reckon the copper-class `configuration` is not transferable to the fiber-to-user system, and most of the `nodes` and copper will just be ripped-out and chucked in the bin (quite a bit of waste, huh?)

I think most of the NBN is yet to be built. You could leave whats done and do the rest FTTP. I think that should be possible.

but the corrupt and corrupted politicians have ultimate power over everything

And the greens plan just hands more to them. They are the ones enabling the libs wet dream, so if anyone deserves the label lib lite it would be them

# ,, but when you said ,,,,change it(#areas) back to FTTP,,,, then see previous answer

I meant leave the areas which have been done (FTTN) and do the rest FTTP. It would be interesting to see if FTTP is doable. I suspect the cost would be enormous and would take 50 years to finish. FTTP means laying cable in every street

You`re back to guzzling the Limited-News sludge kneel

The article posts facts which can be checked. People are choosing the cheapest internet option with the NBN, not the option with the fastest download speeds. I think the ALP is taking us for a ride about the benefits of ultrafast internet.

What happened next was fascinating and awful. His ‘critics’ did not refute Storrar’s main point that a rise in the tax free threshold can change the daily life of a poor person. Probably because it’s irrefutable. Nor did they take up O’Dwyer’s bungled defence of a tax cut for the rich over the poor – which might even be defensible if you’re arguing from deep inside the closed loop of neo-liberal economics. Nope. They just pulled on the jackboots and kicked forty-seven flavours of shit out of an impoverished, uneducated man who’d done nothing more than ask a simple but surprisingly difficult question.

http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/comment/blunt-instrument/crowds-bite-back-at-savage-response-to-duncan-storrars-simple-qa-question-20160516-gowmts.html

A question yomm is still struggling to comprehend it appears. Although, finally (after much maligning, not by us, but by him off the questioner) we get to see that he would still prefer to have his top shelf bourbon over JimmyBeam than help out some young girls doing it tough. Nice.

And Birmingham nails it at the end what this is all about, It isn’t murdor thrashing about without a plan, it is all about silencing dissent.

He had dared to speak a simple truth – not even a particularly radical one. A couple of bucks means a helluva lot more to somebody without a buck to their name. For this, he had to be destroyed, and not simply refuted.

Because if you knock down an argument that threatens privilege and power, you always face the prospect of the argument being refined and returning to vex you. But if you utterly destroy the person who is bold or foolish enough to open their mouths and question you in the first place, you dramatically reduce the chances of anything like that happening again.

KNOW YOUR PLACE PLEBS!! It’s a simple and graphic lesson to anyone else who dares challenge the ruling class (which some dopes seem to think means $80k+, or were they just thrashing about for relevance?)

“The Greens are becoming one of my least favourite parties. Coasting in on years of work the Labor Party has done,……..”

I agree…………and it’s very amusing to watch

TomR

From your link

Although it has not yet announced its new NBN policy, it is not expected that Labor would return to its original Fibre to the Premises model if it wins the election. Instead, the party is expected to announce it will support a FTTdp model in which Fibre is extended to customers’ driveways but not their actual premises, as well as maintaining the existing HFC cable extension plans.

Doing FTTP for the remaining unfinished NBN should be possible. I bet you the ALP does not do it if they get back in. I thinks the costs for FTTP are just too great.

Meanwhile…………over at the Socialist paradise that is Venezuela…..

“The cash-strapped government can’t even pay for basic imports such as sugar, flour and eggs. Many Venezuelans wait several hours in lines outside supermarkets, hoping shelves won’t be emptied out by the time they arrive.

Reports of looting of staples like kitchen rolls, salt and shampoo — even chicken and underwear — throughout the country amid empty shops and soaring black market prices are a keen indicator of how desperate some have become.”

“………is Surrey Hills OK for a couple of tourists?”

Well in the first place its spelt Surry Hills.

Its very heavily terrace housing with main traffic busy streets being Cleveland, Bourke , Albion.

Good access from airport by cab, prob $35 to $40 cab fare and good access to City/Harbour by very frequent buses along Oxford many of which have final detination at Circular Quay (Opera House and the Bridge and Rocks areas) for access across Harbour to Manly/Northern Beaches and lower northern burbs. Also buses along Oxford access to Bondi Junction (not Bondi Beach) big difference. They need buses to the Beach not Junction. Buses along Oxford also provide access to Darling Harbour

We now have the Opal card here which is like the card system they have in London so you need to find out what they need to do for public transport access as tourists.Parking at a premium in Surry Hills so dont hire a car.

Stacks of restaurants in Oxford Street and immediate side streets and all along Bourke Street at the Cleveland Street end. Gay pubs are chiefly along Oxford straight bars are mainly in streets leading off Oxford

Of course the other suburb you could look at is Newtown which IMHO blows Surry Hills clear out out the water as far as eating/drinking/buses (especially prices) are concerned.

Just not as convenient to Bondi Beach if they want to visit that over hyped expensive eyesore.

(Ah yes, welcome to Oz, where asking a question of the elites means you are guilty until proven forgotten.

True; perhaps that’s why setting an agenda to zero net emissions of (un)question(able)s is such a distraction from the real job of pie-growing that it’s almost a job in itself. *Toasty*)

And David Feeney proves stupid is contagious across ALL political persuasions.

Some clever people may be good managers but many rich people have the benefit of inheritance.

And, as we have seen from comments here, many rich people have no empathy, and would prefer to tread on those more unfortunate so they can keep every piece of silver they have gotten, through whatever means.

Maybe that was because Druggie Duncan made his argument in terms of comparing thresholds.

Or maybe it was because you didn’t want to face the reality that, ‘over time’, the rich have benefited far greater than the poor with tax treatments. The fact that a person mentions one aspect does not negate all the other aspects. Except if, as I say, it doesn’t support your ‘argument’.

And, if you had bothered to listen to Duncan, he DID mention other aspects, such as GST

Cherry picking won’t help your argument, it’ll just make your hole deeper

Really? How do you reach that conclusion.

Since you mentioned the “Panama papers” yourself, I’d have thought that would have been obvious.

“….and would prefer to tread on those more unfortunate so they can keep every piece of silver they have gotten, through whatever means.”

And would prefer to tread on those more unfortunate DUE TO THEIR PATHETIC LIFE CHOICES so they can keep every piece of silver they have gotten VIA EDUCATION AND HARD WORK, .

Fixed that up for you

DUE TO THEIR PATHETIC LIFE CHOICES

Yes, I’m sure Duncan chose to be born into poverty with a low iq and a father who molested him.

You really are a brainless twat wally. … etal

So, you ignore that Duncan was born into poverty and with a low IQ

Fucken imbecile

“So, you ignore that Duncan was born into poverty and with a low IQ”

I know who the fucking gullible imbecile is.

If Duncan has such a low IQ he certainly does not exhibit it in the statement that appears on the ABC website where they quote extensively from him.

Let’s quote him for a moment……………..

“Knowing this the right-wing press decided to write the stories they did without a care for me or my (now ex-partner’s) mental health. ………”As somebody who is training to learn to be a mental health advocate I ask, does News Corp have a mental health policy when it comes to dealing with people like me? Yes they do, they have thrown this out to show the world that power……….”Has News Corp broken the Mental Health Act by knowing I have issues, my partner has issues and still coming in boots and all? Isn’t there a duty of care instilled in the Mental Health Act?

“These are questions for lawyers not me.”

WOW……………..that’s pretty impressive coming from someone with a low IQ.

Seems to me if there is a naive fucking imbecile around here you’ll get a glimpse of him looking back at you every time you look in a mirror …………..ROFLMAO

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-17/duncan-storrar-thanks-australia-for-support-after-qanda/7420918

that’s pretty impressive coming from someone with a low IQ.

We’ll have to take the words of someone who is well fed red I guess?

(of course, another possibility is somebody helped him write it, you know, being a “written statement” and all)

But ignore the fact so many losers CHOOSE to be born into poverty, and CHOOSE to be born with low IQ’s

They really only have themselves to blame, don’t they, mirror man

violent, drug-addled criminal

Why do heartless bastards need to speak of every transgression in the current tense?

you mean someone is now coaching him

Why wouldn’t they? I mean, he is basically being forensically cross examined in a court of public opinion.

So they are not really his words then.

For someone who is supposed to be so well red, you have a bad habit of mangling the language don’t you.

Douchebag Duncan should just take the $60k and move on.

Duncan was quite happy to ask a simple question and move on, but the ruling elites (no, not anyone on more than $80k dopeys) just can’t seem to.

If anything that cnut Duncan should not have complained about not getting the $6 tax cut. He shouild have showed his appreciation and thanked the net taxpayers subsidising his miserable fucking existence.

I would prefer my tax cut go to net taxpayers over $65,000 p.a. and just not get one. Or towards Labor’s deficit.

Anything but see that miserable cnut get any more $ to fill the pockets of his drug dealer.

Fucking ungrateful cnut that he is.

“It is just like the refugees – the left don’t care if they drown (“accidents happen” eh Sarah) just so long as the lefties feel good about themselves. What a pack of mongrel bastards they are!”

Yep

TomR exactly as described

“Exactly!! Why aren’t the people that have overcome significant personal/family disadvantage the heroes and role models?”

Exactly !

Instead we get the “Why do they get it ?……….,……….Why dont I get it ?” shit that spewed forth from Duncan’s fucked up head

I must’ve missed the bit where Duncan claimed to be a “hero” and/or “role model”…

The wannabe elites have left the plantation and are currently running with a variety of completely imagined scenarios, and funnily enough, happy clapping each other on the back as their stories get stranger and further from reality.

And all because of one little question. It must have hit a nerve (well, a hip pocket anyway)

He’s responsible for his own present circumstances and he’s admitted as much.

As I’ve pointed out, it is not ALL his fault. But that is neither here nor there. You are missing a point a well Red person may not.

He said “WE”, not he 😉

Unless, of course, if it is your contention that EVERYBODY on under $80 is a victim of their own self destruction?

Turnbull,,,,,in mind. When Malcolm really had a business management job, the NBN, he failed badly,,,,,

Don’t agree. I don’t like Turnbull but the Coalition was handed this monstrosity, NBNCo to build the NBN. Contracts were signed and we have to go with building this thing. Turnbull made the decision that FTTP would bankrupt the country and never be finished. So he went with FTTN and using cables that have already been built.

Lefties how about thinking about other people for a change rather than your fat stomachs?

Tip: I tend to just scroll past Nil’s comments.

I am still not sure he was talking about me. He said something was pointless discussing and then went to discuss something i said.

So i am not sure TB was talking about me when he said this “Fuck that’s difficult to read … and pointless discussing … shrill comments always tell me one thing

(The,,,,,most successfully managed economies in the western world are the Nordics that have high taxation levels and high government spending,,,,,

A rising tide, a strong sense of communal wellbeing, a culture of distributional fairness approaching equality bi-directionally, genuine public-private partnership, and socially-and-economically-inspired fiscal coordination, really does lift all knorrs? It sounds perfectly horrid! How will managerialist capitalism, and transient CEOs earning hundreds of times the average new-record-low-wages-share-of-profits wage, ever get ahead of the greedy minimum-wage riff-raff dragging down full(er) civic, social, and economic participation(s)?)
