Sandy have you ever traded Crypto?
Do you trade on Binance, BitMex or one of the other dozen exchanges, using 3rd party apps like QT or SC?
No?
Do you trade on De-Fi exchanges like WooFi or OKX?
No?
You probs have a small stash of Bitcoin you bought on CoinSpot.
Yes, very amusing.

They are privately run business.
Holding onto hundreds of millions of dollars of customer funds in deposits.
They also control the order flow and order matching systems on their exchanges, with little to no oversight.
They trade against and profit from the trades of their own customers.

From an outsiders point of view?
The "much worse" in the US started in the Reagan years.
And it has been a direct line of crazy to Trump 1 and now Trump 2, The Sequel.
The curiosity of the US from the outside, is that of like looking at an alcoholic uncle falling down a flight of stairs.

No you don't.
If you support social democratic govts, you wouldn't be support the mutual obligation program.
A program created by John Howard, Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton.

True.
But I think for many the attraction is simply the "control" fascism promises.
Red Pill to MAGA to Nazi.
The promise of "control" is a huge selling point.
And playing dress ups.
Can't be a proper Nazi without a costume.

So you support forcing working people into the mutual obligation program?
Even though its mistreating them?
comment in response to

You support working people being mistreated in the mutual obligation program.
You defend supporting this mistreatment because it might hurt the feelings of "labour leaders" to be criticised for this mistreatment of working people.
Keep waving that flag buddy.
All the way back to Opposition.

The tag line for Albo and Labor for the next election should be
"For All Of Us"
And I'm not even joking.

What on earth are you going on about?
The point being made is about the mutual obligation program.
And you refusing to call out the mistreatment of working people.
Do you support the mutual obligation program for unemployed working people?

In what way?
Are you supporting the Union's silence around the mistreatment of working people?
The mutual obligation program is not fit for purpose.
Do you support it?

Dutton is the Distraction.
Like MAGA, many voters no longer care for the P's and Q's of politics.
They just want the Feels.
And like MAGA, Dutton has no need for policy.
Policy won't get him elected.
But the Feels will.
Unless Albo can poison Dutton on the Feels, we lose the election.

They are killing off Albo the same way as Kevin Rudd.
Framing him as either bumbling or arrogant.
Why won't Albo fight back?
They are going to do him in anyway.

Well you have been awfully quiet about it Sally?
There's a "we never supported it, but stayed quiet about it".
And a "we never supported it, and put a rocket up Albo to stop it".
Which one are you Sally?
Give Albo a call and tell him to stop this mistreatment of working people.

The Liberal Party don't do policy.
And haven't for many many years.
They can't win on policy.
They can only win by setting fire to the place.

Sally, is it true you are still supporting the Mutual Obligation Laws for people on Jobseeker?
Albo seems to be.
Why has the Unions remained quiet about how badly working people are being treated in these programs.
Are you happy to see working people mistreated in these programs?
