communism isn't a problem - we've just never seen it implemented. We've only seen oligarchy wearing a communism mask.

Don't worry about exporting fossil fuels! You just export more not-fossil fuels and the emissions disappear like magic. It's very good maths and extremely good real science. #auspol #climate

If people don't want to do the crappy jobs if they can live without them, then we'll have to pay people more to do those jobs. As it should be!
Also, fyi, every single trial of ubi has found that people do not, in fact, work less, but they ARE more creative and entrepreneurial.
What's stopping us?

The argument "well if you pay people enough to live on they might not want to work" is puzzling to me... because food and shelter are human rights. The imperative to work... is not.

aa I would like to contribute this magnificently round and absurdly large fluff ball that I saw recently. I looked at it and thought "almost looks like a chive flower, only giant!"... turns out it is the imaginatively named "giant allium". Fuzzy bumblebee for scale. Larger than a baseball!

I'm starting to realise that a lot of people are genuinely ignorant. There are folks who still believe Harry Potter is wholesome and wonderful. And they are good people, they just haven't heard any of the crazy. I think some folks have legit not seen what's going on with Musk. which is wild!

it's not an all day proposition because bad chairs & low tables do my back in, but it's good for a change of scene and occasional conversations with (probably) real people.

I just take all my stuff to the loo & then come back to a different table if mine has gone. But I tend to sit outside even in the cold, (because covid scares me) so for the most part no one wants my table!

there's one set of bank accounts in particular that I've been getting emails about - including overdraft warnings - for around a decade. Do they not notice??? I've even emailed the bank. nothing.
