Rip the bandaid off! Get this shit closed down and be done with it.

Despite Elon’s best efforts
But at the same time they’re encouraging the loss of jobs to bring down inflation. Everyone likes to talk about interest rate rises cooling inflation but they never mention that the cooling effect is largely a function of lost employment.
It was pointless, which is a reason to have not taken them, but they’re back now so it’s kind of a moot point. Just a “don’t do it again” situation.
Do you commemorate all the other atrocities?
Won’t someone think of the poor ships sitting in a harbour!
You would think so, but companies generally believe that they own the right to your full potential output - not just the tasks that they set you.
Somehow the “everybody has the right to an opinion” message got applied to objective topics
Tailgating doesn’t get you there faster. Most highway accidents would be avoided if people would just leave some space, and then we wouldn’t get stuck in accident traffic jams for hours.
Somewhat counterintuitively, traffic will flow better and you’ll get places faster if you just leave some space (and you’ll be safer and use less fuel as you won’t be always on the accelerator and brakes)
To be fair, this is hardly a plan, it’s just “head north to your nearest Canadian city”
Yeah, the house I grew up in had so many frogs that you couldn’t watch TV or make a phone call at night, it was like having the worst tinnitus every night. Frogs are cute, but that was too much!
Humanity is a shithole. Social media is a cross-section.
Fuck the Olympics. This stinks of a way to sterilise the city of anything that isn’t new, shiny, plasticky, shit. Let them stay.
He got to the finals by letting people in front of him fall as well. Not disrespecting him though, he was coming back from a huge injury and knew he didn’t have the raw speed to beat the best, but he was smart enough to put himself in the right place - twice. The race isn’t finished until you cross the line.

It’s well known that interest rates cause the unemployment level to rise, the RBA governor even covered it in a speech recently (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/22/rba-reserve-bank-australia-unemployment-inflation) and they have a page explaining it (https://www.rba.gov.au/education/resources/explainers/nairu.html).
Even though it’s been suggested and documented that our current inflation issues are driven by corporate price rises and lingering pandemic supply issues, the government outsources the responsibility for interest rates to the RBA - but the only tool they have is monetary policy.
Related: it’s shown that full employment benefits everyone, but it benefits the least advantaged most https://grattan.edu.au/news/when-unemployment-falls-disadvantaged-workers-benefit-most/ so there really is a dichotomy between corporate profits and social wellbeing.
We are generally taught that there’s a balancing act going on between inflation and interest rates, but that’s not really true. There’s a balancing act going on between inflation and unemployment - and interest rates are the way to control unemployment. When the government says that inflation is too high what they’re saying is that too many people have money and the way to fix it is to get a few tens or hundreds of thousands of them fired.
I don’t use Xitter, what functionality does it have that’s not stupidly easy to implement? As far as I can tell the only thing that Xitter has is a userbase - and when they drive them away they’ll have nothing [but debt].
