Trump never pushed a grocery cart around a supermarket or shopped w/kids, purchased an off the rack suit, had to take public transportation when his car broke down, paid an invoice without arguing the amount or quality of the work. “A little disturbance” in emails from DOGE put workers out of work.

A phrase like "a little disturbance" in this context could only come from the mouth of a person who has never lived paycheck to paycheck.

No art in it at all. Just extortion and thuggery.

That does it for me. Nothing more required. A little something for the ABC would be nice.

I wouldn't give Musk credit for any of this truly amazing technological leap forward. It will change the lives of paraplegics. There is a scientist quietly working in a backroom somewhere who deserves all the credit.

It's a national embarrassment. Dentists in the UK can spot an Aussie by their missing bicuspids. Personal experience. I think our PM is missing at least one too.

He is just awful. He talks about cleaning out as if he were discussing getting rid of vermin.

The assumption in this jargon that Australia is currently not great is very irritating. Nothing is perfect but it is a great place to be.

Ask them if their plan includes tradies, on the road all day from crack of dawn, out in all weather and temperature. Will they be able to claim lunch, or even drinking water? Shouldn't just be a perk for big corporations.

P.S.
Of course, and somewhat more seriously, and as I say elsewhere, a core issue is that health insurance in the US isn't really insurance at all. It's more like a complex payment intermediary with misaligned incentives, not indemnity insurance.

He is wrong. Precedents mean very little in this new era. I understand Presidents were quite recently ruled in a court to be above the law.

Or wait a few months and watch people realise it hits them smack in the wallet.
