We do not merely study the past we inherit it, and inheritance brings with it not only the rights of ownership, but the duties of trusteeship.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

Is it true that you shouldn’t shower when there is lightning or is that another lie my parents told me, just like ‘you can’t put the internal cabin light on while driving’

While Gina/Advance/IPA/Murdochs/Faragists/preferential Pauline take over the Liberal Party, a big window has opened for more meritorious independents (think ‘teals’) to run in marginal LNP (and some ALP) seats across federal electorates. Libs may have signed their own death warrant. 👇

Trump has given #AUKUS the OK. Why wouldn’t he; it’s the deal of the century for the US. For Australia, it’s a huge national security blunder that’ll see a slide in our defence capabilities and even greater reliance on the US, which we’ll pay for. #auspol

Yes that is 2nd in the whole world.
The IMF reports on 191 countries.
We are also only 1 of 7 out 191 countries with a "AAA" credit rating.
Better than the USA etc.
So, if the media, the Libs, the Nats, One Nation, are saying things are bad in Oz, I think we can safely assume they are lying.

In case didn't know, Bayer alumina refining dissolves the aluminium hydroxide out of bauxite with hot concentrated caustic soda, leaving the impurities behind as 'red mud' tailings – mostly iron hydroxide, various undissolvable aluminium compounds, and weird caustic-disrupted silicates ('DSP').
Beat-up #3: Gallium; 2025 world production a whole 1,100 tonnes, most of that now from China. Used in electronics, particularly power electronics and optoelectronics, as gallium nitride and gallium arsenide. Production is from bauxite, as a byproduct of Bayer process alumina refining.

Ed Husic, Labor MP, made some great points on Afternoon Briefing yesterday.
"The reason why prices are so high is because we export a phenomenal amount of gas."
We can remedy supply constraints without opening new gas projects by diverting uncontracted gas to the domestic market.
