Excellent. NIMBYs and boomers will oppose it, but this is a good change.
Now, put an extra property tax on all none primary residences and put the revenue into social housing.

This is so stupid and shows just how regressive and biased rural communities are. Renewables will create jobs and can be used to lower water use on some farmland.

The fall of communism also led to the rise of neoliberalism, which has made working conditions, housing, healthcare, and education affordability the worst it's been in generations.
At least Western governments pretended to help the people when the commies were around

I'll be surprised if the US doesn't go through a recession

The coalition was the ones who froze funding to Medicare, Labor just failed to top it up after they won.
It's really disappointing that the libs will probably win. They've been the ones mostly responsible for unaffordable housing and strained healthcare

We should be forming a Pacific NATO style military alliance with Japan, SK, Singapore

They're gun a push for a third term. That much is obvious.

With all this tracking, you'd think we could use the data to improve our health, diet, and public transport.
But no, it's mostly being used to sell us stuff.

It's amazing how racist the US has been all this time. They were just hid it under a neocon mask
comment in response to

Of course, they all have vested interests. The US is weak and trusted politicians in Congress to provide checks and balances.
It's basically just been waiting for a strong arm type to come along and just do whatever they want.

To date, the US has only provided less than US$70B.
Asking for $500B is downright loan shark and mobster levels of exploitation.

Australia and New Zealand really need to forge stronger military ties with India, SK, and Japan

It's good that there's now a ceasefire, but this whole recent war has just been one collosal waste of life for no gain other than to extend Zionist influence.

I'm sure many millions of Americans think Trump is that hero.

"I don't like Nazis, but I draw the line at opposing them."
You can express almost all possible human thought without using nazi flags or promoting violence against minorities.
Other countries do have comparable or better lives than the US, and most don't have US type free speech yet are still free.

They seem to have altered them slightly so they weren't exactly the same

It's about Trumps unabashed nationalism and authoritarianism.
I know I shouldn't be surprised, I keep giving conservatives too much credit, but I was surprised just how quickly republican supported this completely out of the blue name change.

He should sue for racial discrimination. He was fired for being black. That's clearly a violation of the law

I suppose a small, unique tattoo for each vaccine would solve that.

Liberals really need to stop playing fair and nice when they win back congress and the presidency.
I say accelerate this stupidity and division since republicans want it so much

Red meat is more expensive and has a much larger carbon and water footprint than white meat. It may also be less healthy.
You can get pork mince, Devon, chicken drumsticks, and sausages for less than $5 per kg.

Good job, UK. Putting the US to shame.
The UK produces 42% of its energy needs from renewables.
The US produces just 21%

Assuming we don't do something worse like starting another world war, climate change will be the lasting shame of the boomers that took all that hope and prosperity and have given us cancer in return

Trump is delusional and unhinged. Even if he was getting accurate information, I don't think it would help much.

That's so tragic

Will the funding provided for these private services be transferred to public services?
I assume private hospitals still receive some funding

That's a fair interpretation. The US system is massively outdated and is clearly failing under modern politics and media
comment in response to

To be clear, the republicans are much worse, both in words and actions, but liberals have consistently failed as well. Liberals are only "good" by comparison to conservatives and republicans

That's the main risk I can think of as well

We can rely on them selling us their kit but not much else unless they keep their bases in the north.

True. All but I think two Republicans voted to support Trump rather than impeach

I think we should protect what little metal refining we have in this country. Our economy is already very simple.

This is ridiculous. Can't criticise an obviously horrible situation because of a bully protecting war criminals

"Wow! These rich people are just like us!"
I don't like these kinds of articles

So...is he saying that because a break-in is as harmful and violating as welcome to country or that the criminal were indigenous? Either interpretation is pretty bad

I sure hope they're putting more resources into combating foreign influence amd spycraft

Probably because no one can provide the kit or projection that the Americans can. As unreliable and stupid as they are, it's probably still in our best interests to humour them
