As the grievance grifters keep trying to make Australians feel bad about our country to sell us more stuff or help them get right wing loons elected itโs worth remembering that, for most people in the world, the Commonwealth of Australia is a far better place to live than wherever they may live now.

Australianโs need to realise that we are actually โwinningโ in building mass prosperity.
Itโs not to say everything is perfect.
Itโs saying that we are on the right track with an economic plan that puts people first.
Trickle down, Friedman economics is dying. And thatโs a wonderful thing.

The reality of the Coalition is that theyโd rather destroy 200,000 Australian jobs than scrap tax loopholes on unproductive capital
During a decade in office the Coaition left hundreds of thousands of people unemployed then Robodebted them into misery

Do you know how Herbert Hoover made the Great Depression worse?
Because he didnโt understand, most didnโt, that taking government money out of the economy & increasing taxes was disinflationary, which on top of the market melt down, meant no money being spent
So if we increase taxes we canโฆ?

Bill Shorten questions โforces at playโ after Steve Bannonโs claim he helped Clive Palmer, damaging Laborโs 2019 election chances
Former opposition leader says Bannonโs purported claim, which Palmer has denied, would be a โbadge of honourโ for him
The United States far right interfered in the 2019 election
Just as @vanbadham.bsky.social & I suggested during our podcasts
There were ads about โdeath taxesโ taken from Bannon run Florida campaigns that only had the party or candidate names changed

Exxon & Chevron must be so relieved to not have to worry about all the trouble and expense that the East India Company used to have maintaining their own military.
Having taxpayer funded โPresidentsโ take care of it all for them, even doing the PR bit, makes their margins so much better.
