I love that our free time between pointless privatised employment meetings and sending out resumes that will never be read, let alone seriously considered, is the same as a well-heeled campaign for childhood neglect thanks to Vanbadham's dad's RSL club

I personally think *you* specifically aren’t worth more than $1b a year Mr Studans.

Tens of billions or bust 😎
