Never heard of Will Smith's Wife until today. Read that she was boycotting the Oscars as a protest for Blacks, even though she was never invited to attend until today. So much for her boycott.
I'm guessing a few people, me included will be calling her G.I.Jane if Will Smith is present and we see them.
Woulda loved it if Chris Rock could swing. Two of them going at it live on stage.

Service Stations or Petrol companies are going to make a motza. Budget to cut fuel excise and Brent Oil down almost 10% overnight. You reckon Petrol Companies will pass it on in its entirety, I doubt it.

New Study finds the most discriminated against people in our Society are White, hetrosexual Males aged 15-65.

Been drumming that for years.
Really started seeing this in the corporate workplace, some years ago when I witnessed employment choices being made on research of demographics.

Yep, not the best kunce for the job, but “we don’t have enough skinny south East Asian dark skinned, homosexual transgender kunce” so they get preference for a job they are not experienced in.
It’s fkn ridiculous.

US Treasury yield curves indicating a (US) Recession next year. Inflation, Interest Rate hikes, "toppy" property and stock market here, adding to pessimism. We follow Merica off that cliff?

Our ASX200 is at 7514. Record high last year 7600, that was at the end of all that Govt stimulus. Inflation, Interest Rates, Wars or potential ones, lotsa Government debt and we're still approaching record highs?

Hate to be a contrarian Stiffy,but a vast majority of the meat processed here goes to China. I was reading in the local rag not so long ago,and production has quadrupled in the last 5 years. Thats created a lot of jobs. Also on the lifting side of it(oh noes another gerry story) i think they have freakish weightlifters,i watch vids of them on facey and its mindblowing man. I actually remember a young 18/19 yr old chinese powerlifter at the time who was competing at the same time and same weight class as me and already he was a better squatter..like 220ish or something. I see results 6 7 yrs later and hes Oceania champ with a 195? bench. Crazy. They work hard man.

Which in a round about way brings me to my next point(do i even have 1?lol). When civilisations fail,its because

.1.they get outworked
.2.they become too corrupt and get soft from the inside.

Have a think about that bro How Less Cars on the Road Means Less Traffic.

We do need a large, reliable customer base to sell to, but we also have to make sure we don’t become dependent on low-quality imported goods that some may try to push into the market.
