  • Unfortunately it’s largely the same here down under.

    First we hated the Greeks after world war 2

    We love them now.

    Then we hated the asians in the 80’s and 90’s

    We love them now

    Then we hated the Muslim in the 2000’s

    We largely enjoy their company and food now.

    Then we hated the Indians.

    That’s still happening a lot but a large section of the population has moved on to hating the Sudanese.










  • Thank you.

    I was going to mention the moving of the goalposts but I think you’ve done that nicely.

    I’m sure the inventors made bank. I shudder to think how many of those workers in this technological age are earning minimum wage.

    No matter how hard you grind, minimum wage is minimum wage and inflation is inflation.

    One goes up every year. The other does not.

    As to how I’m personally exploited? Well I live in Australia where massive tax breaks are given to wealthy property investors which allow them gentrify entire urban areas. Wealthy politicians own multiple properties which only incentivises them further.

    The people that grew up in those areas are priced out of their own market. There is a massive housing crisis down here in Australia and it’s all a result of rampant capitalism.








  • It basically comes down to:

    My parents: do it or I’ll kick your ass

    My wife and I: please do it, here are the reasons for us asking and if you do it you get positive attention and possibly a physical reward.

    If you don’t do it, we talk about why and we listen to the reasons they give and adjust our parenting style if necessary based on their feedback.

    They then go and do it.
