    This is probably going to be the biggest crisis of all time, weAre looking at an AI bubble thatAs 10x bigger than any bubble ever, an unregulated real estate market, more wealth disparity than the French Revolution, and new-age fascism in the United States and Western countries when democracy is in decline, it turns into fascism. Tech oligarchs lie more every year because the lies prop up the stock market. Open corruption between governments and the business world, the people writing the laws are the same people the laws are supposed to restrict. Most right-wing supply seems to be only theocratism, racism, and corruption. Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb will probably double oil prices compared to the same time two years ago. And itAs heading toward Taiwan falling before the pedoprez goes out of power and likely Israel going after 2-3 more Middle Eastern countries.

    werCOre looking at an AI bubble thatrCOs 10x bigger than any bubble ever,
    Even if that is, that's not going to be the biggest crisis of all time essentially because there hasn't been a massive buyup of those stocks
    an unregulated real estate market,
    No such thing
    more wealth disparity than the French Revolution,
    Bullshit
    The bottom is nothing even remotely like it was then
    and new-age fascism in the United States
    Fantasy as you will see in the mid terms which pull the plug on Trump
    and Western countries when democracy is in decline,
    Pigs arse it is
    Burnham is even proposing to pull the
    plug on their first past the post system
    it turns into fascism.
    Have fun listing even a single example of that now
    Tech oligarchs lie more every year
    More mindless bullshit

    That happened before without it producing

    No chance of that given the china doesn't
    have anything even remotely like what is

    No one you know likes you.
    Your neighbors might put up with you.
    Yes in 2011 you did help them and seem grateful
    But
    Australian real wages have not kept above inflation under the Albanese Government when compared to 2011. In fact, severe post-pandemic
    inflation eroded over a decade of nominal pay gains, leaving overall
    real wages languishing near 2011

    OECD reports showing sharp declines in household disposable income.
    They argue that LaborAs public spending has fueled structural
    inflation, causing the average worker to lose significant annual
    purchasing power. <https://theconversation.com/real-wages-have-grown-just-over-the-past-year-but-theyre-still-down-near-2011-levels-270141>

    I grew up in the 1950's in my country town all families were large and
    all did well.
    This is not going to happen with mass migration a Abanese Labors lies!
    Albanese Labor is effectivley killing such towns
    as they are unlikely to vote Labor

    WAAs multibillion-dollar grain harvest at risk as workers blocked or
    delayed
    What now happens to electorates not deemed to vote Labor!
    Recent example

    The heart of a massive, brewing political and social crisis in
    regional Australia.
    The threat to food security Australia's premium agricultural zones,
    like the NSW Riverina or the Tasmanian agricultural flats, have taken generations of farming families to develop, clear, and optimize for
    food production.

    When a foreign investment firm uses taxpayer-backed subsidies to buy a functional, productive dairy or grain farm and carpets it in a pinus
    radiata monoculture, that land is effectively locked out of the food
    supply chain for decades.
    Sucking regional communities dry the damage isn't just to the soiluit fundamentally alters the fabric of regional towns.
    The "Ghost town" effect:
    a traditional broadacre, dairy, or irrigated crop farm employs local
    workers, uses local mechanics, buys from local grain merchants, and
    supports local schools.
    The forestry reality:
    once a carbon-credit pine plantation is planted, it requires almost
    zero labor or local input for the first 15 to 25 years until harvest.
    The local families leave, businesses close, and vibrant rural
    communities slowly hollow out
    Subsidizing the destruction of local agriculture what infuriates local
    farmers the most is the unfair playing field created by the Australian
    carbon credit unit (accu) scheme and entities like the clean energy
    finance corporation (cefc).Local farming families who want to produce
    food cannot compete at auction against global multi-billion-dollar
    asset managers.
    Because these foreign firms are backed by government green subsidies
    and the promise of lucrative carbon offsets, they can easily outbid
    local farmers, artificially driving up the price of farmland and
    locking young Australian farmers out of the market.

    No. The leashes are used for other nefarious purposes; after

    And it costs a mint to keep a dog, especially the fancy breeds.

    More bullshit

    I grew up in the 1950's in my country town all families were large
    Pigs arse they were
    and all did well.
    Pigs arse they did
    And if you name that town we can prove that is more
    of your stupid pig ignorant lies with the census data
    This is not going to happen with mass migration
    There is no mass migration
    a Abanese Labors lies!
    Albanese Labor is effectivley killing such towns
    Pigs arse they are we can prove that is more of
    your stupid pig ignorant lies with the census data
    as they are unlikely to vote Labor
    Another stupid lie with Broken Hill and other towns
    WArCOs multibillion-dollar grain harvest at risk as workers blocked
    No one has been blocked
    or delayed
    What now happens to electorates not deemed to vote Labor!
    More of your stupid lies
    Recent example
    We'll see...
    The heart of a massive, brewing political and social crisis in
    regional Australia.
    More of your stupid lies
    The threat to food security Australia's premium agricultural zones,
    like the NSW Riverina or the Tasmanian agricultural flats,
    That isn't where the pine plantation is happening, it was JUST
    cattle grazing and very marginal economically because it was
    severely degraded by mismanagment and that's why it was sold
    have taken
    generations of farming families to develop, clear, and optimize for
    food production.
    That's bullshit with the tasmanian property
    When a foreign investment firm uses taxpayer-backed subsidies to buy a> functional, productive dairy
    It hadn't been that for a long time
    or grain farm
    That never happened
    and carpets it in a pinus radiata monoculture,
    That hasn't happened to that tasmanian property
    that land is effectively locked out of the food
    supply chain for decades.
    Fantasy given it will still run cattle as well as SOME of the
    property turned over to pines
    Sucking regional communities dry
    That isnt happening
    the damage isn't just to the soilrCoit
    fundamentally alters the fabric of regional towns.
    The "Ghost town" effect:
    There is no ghost town effect
    a traditional broadacre, dairy, or irrigated crop farm employs local
    workers, uses local mechanics, buys from local grain merchants, and
    supports local schools.
    No town has seen that happen
    What has actually happened is that some like Jerildery have
    shrunk a bit but that due to the massive industrialisation of
    grain growing so that FAR fewer agricultural workers are
    now require and with the smaller towns like Moombooldo
    there is no need for shops etc now that its trivial to drive
    to places like Ardlethan etc for your shopping compared
    \with when you had to do that with a fucking horse and cart
    The forestry reality:
    once a carbon-credit pine plantation is planted, it requires almost
    zero labor or local input for the first 15 to 25 years until harvest.
    More of your pig ignorant shit with the thinning alone
    The local families leave, businesses close, and vibrant rural
    communities slowly hollow out
    Have fun listing even a single example of that happening due
    to a pine plantation. Its just another of your pathetic little pig
    ignorant fantasys. In spades with that tasmanian place which
    will still have cattle grazing and farm stay
    Subsidizing the destruction of local agriculture what infuriates local> farmers the most is the unfair playing field created by the Australian> carbon credit unit (accu) scheme and entities like the clean energy
    finance corporation (cefc).Local farming families who want to produce
    food cannot compete at auction against global multi-billion-dollar
    asset managers.
    None of the pin plantations are done like that
    Because these foreign firms are backed by government green subsidies
    and the promise of lucrative carbon offsets, they can easily outbid
    local farmers, artificially driving up the price of farmland and
    locking young Australian farmers out of the market.
    None of ours were stupid enough to want that steaming turd operation

    Not allowed here and I haven't seen one for decades now

    And when I was stuffing letterboxes with a mate of mine's
    how to vote stuff for the council election decades ago, my
    fucking great alsatian who mostly ate dry dog food from
    a slashed 10 KG sack on the floor which produces massive
    great turds due to quite a bit of it being undigestible even
    by dogs, dropped a massive great turd right in the middle
    of some stupid dago's absolutely immaculate front lawn
    with the dago there weeding a bit of the garden. I just
    grinned and thought that the dago could well burst a
    blood vessel and cark it on the spot and realised that
    my mate had no chance of being voted for by him
