Isn't it surprising that corporations are constantly making record profits. Year on year...until they inevitably crash and the tax payers have to bail them out again. That's all inflation is now, it's yet another method for the transfer of wealth from the people who have the least to the people who have the most. Eat the rich.

The sooner Jordy understands the expansion of the money supply, the sooner he'll have a revelation about how Labor is teetering around the edge of economics claiming they are combating inflation.

This is all to the detriment of the peoples living standards and the lower the living standards, the lower the birth rate. It's a perpetual decent into dystopia for most of us. Depressing, I know. Small and short minded politicians looking after their self interest while duping the low and middle class into voting for them. God... you got me on a rant, sorry.

I either didn't know or managed to forget that detail about Friedburger. Deutsche Bank is one of the shadiest of the big international financiers which somehow appears in most stories about money-laundering, sanction-busting, crypto-fraud, funding terrorists and warmongers etc etc. They are basically a criminal organisation and finding out that one of their executives was in control of our finances is nauseating in the extreme.

[@Winter-n7l]

The only bank I can think of that is sketchier and more unappologetically criminal than Deutsche Bank is the Vatican Bank. They have been proven to work with terrorist organizations, South American cartels, and all sorts of orginizes criminal groups like the Russian and Italian Mafia. The Vatican is its own country, and if you try to say something bad about their bank, oh no, watch out for those Catholics. That's especially if you have a young child, particularly boys...

Working in mental healthy realm, the only stories I've been told about beyond blue are atrocious. Eg. People being told that they should take a panadol, drink more water & have a nap after being on the phone for an hour, encouraged to tell and relive traumatic events. People under duress being spoken to with frustration & judgement because they find it hard to share openly within the allocated time frame for the staff member & organisation, then being offered no further services. Staff that are overwhelmed by the system that they work in & not having much else to give back. We need to better support our first responders .

Previous govt wasted millions of a royal commission which uncovered nothing spending more time getting details on Gillards reno 15 yrs back than it did interviewing the crook who was at the top of the Victorian CFMEU.
