How can the stock market be up when everyone is suffering? AI is being installed in many companies. Workforce is 2/3 of costs.
Use AI. Dump people = increased profits

Who will buy all the stuff when so many people have no income? 🤔 #economy

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
“Labor MP Ed Husic said the govt should impose a 25% tax on gas exports as part of the upcoming budget, adding big energy companies had had a “sweet deal” for much too long.”
#auspol
Actually, it needs to be a 50% tax.
Ideally 60%

+ all subsidies removed.

Because Australia gives so much of our gas away for free, Japan gets it so cheap that it makes a profit selling it on to other countries!
Add your name to the call to impose royalties on all gas exported from Australia ✍️ nb.australiainstitute.org.au/collect_gas_royalties

Labor & Josh Burns frequently cite the Safeguard Mechanism to fob off constituents' concerns about Australia's grossly inadequate emissions reduction
Turns out the claimed 7 million tonnes of SGM emissions reduction for 2024-25 is entirely undone by North West Shelf Gas Extension (👀🧵👇)

The High Court just struck out the entire (rigged) Victorian election finance regime.
Victorian Govt must now design new laws that ensure Victoria's elections have fairness & transparency, with proper consultation from independents & experts.

Thank you for collating & linking. Makes it super clear
Working for this in Australia 👏
it’ll have zero impact on their lifestyle, they won’t even notice the difference, and huge difference to most citizens services.
Did that stop the data centres? If these profit figures are anywhere close to being accurate, $20m is a pissy fine & the data centres stay.
Whatever happens in & by & from the US is a largely a 'blue print' for what NOT to do, not something the rest of the world should blindly follow the lead of.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Here’s the science

Crisafulli govt throwing a tantrum to ratchet up pressure to have fossil fuel projects included in EPBC fast-track pathway, if declared "in the national interest"
This, despite the @albomp.bsky.social govt's deal w @greens.org.au explicitly EXCLUDING fossil fuel projs from EPBC fast-track paths
2/ Australia's leading fire ecologists & biodiversity researchers open letter calls on Environment Minister to stop it. The science does not support it. The cumulative fire history of this landscape is devastating. Over 110 threatened species are at risk.

Victoria's fire management agency (FFMV) has placed a 34,000-hectare planned burn in Snowy River National Park on its ten-day ignition schedule.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.
THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

A majority @albomp.bsky.social govt w 94 seats & a population that overwhelmingly wants stronger climate action
But instead we get illegal wars that kill, maim, destroy, & poison the earth, waters & climate
