I don't like to reduce explainations to -isms but I cannot think of a better reason. They just think brown people/Muslims are inferior and doesn't upset them at the injustice of killing them compared to the deaths of white/Christian/Jew.

Can anyone explain to me why? Why Israel gets so much mainstream media attention? Israel is practically irrelevant to Australia's future.

I think associating mass government firings to ideology is being too charitable. LNP are in government 2/3 of the time. They have created the small government they wanted. This latest idea is just to be cruel, nothing more. They are not good people.

I diverge from common thoughts here. I don't want my productivity going to prop up business lobby groups. Colesworth is the result of an economic system that cannot resolve the need for more efficiencies via economies of scale monopolies and the need for much competition to get an accurate price signal. No Australian party wants to tamper with the current economic system, so it was obvious this ACCC report was leading to nothing.

The News Bargaining Incentive was a shake down itself. It should be scraped. Most Australian media companies are the same trash as social media and should shutdown if they cannot survive. At least tech provides useful services other than propaganda channels for connected politicians.

That's the thing, people don't want to. Critical thinking for one it takes more physical energy, which is a impediment. People want to belong as it can be very difficult to thrive being excluded, so there can be an advantage to just go along with the dominate narrative. Hence why we are getting a onslaught of propaganda like this twitter post.

Teaching critical thinking skills it not a solution. People are not getting fooled, they want to believe it, it fills an emotional need.

Neo-liberal solutions to societal issues focusing on individuals has been a complete disaster. It is basically victim blaming and doesn't actually scale in many circumstances.

Eg. High house prices; Victims fault for not working harder and saving more. Neo-liberal solution: Work longer, spend way less. Outcome at scale: Economy crashes due to low spending.

I can only go back as far as Howard, so my personal take is Albo; easily. There is lying on policy which is the norm but lying on values makes him the worst. He championed himself being the kid raised by single mum in a housing commision who was going to be strong on the strong. It was all BS.

Hence in the upcoming election preference LNP/ALP last. The C-class of these companies will coordinate with these political parties to reduce the influence of employees in the workplace, so they can exploit the excess productivity for there own personal gain.

Exposes people who I wouldn't want to associate with. The people upset at Lidia would definitely be more likely to screw me over to gain favour with someone more influential. Those don't align with my morals.

F these managers. It is simply impossible to monitor these type of systems with 100% attention for the vast majority of the population for long periods of time - literally rarely anything happens. It needs a consistant rotation of staff and guarenteed the business will not pay for it. Instead they blame the employees when it is them who are putting the safety of the public at risk.

I don't work with these signalling systems but have done similar type of tasks. Everyone knows it is not possible but the higher ups know they will never be made responsible for failures so these problems will persist.

I am down to home-brand branded icecream. Used to buy the [supermarket expensive] ice cream but now they are all above the price threshold I am prepared to pay.
