Sorry, Im struggling to understand, in your view when was the US actually great? I thought the MAGA movement defined that period as being the mid-20th century. Or was it the 19th century? Im a little confused. That 90% of stuff is non-partisan and is a product of understanding efficiencies...

Since you mentioned it, I have to bring it up, maybe to lighten the mood, but did you know the NSW Government has an agency called "Cemeteries and Crematoria NSW". It's role, as the name implies is to have oversight of those who provide post-death services in NSW and ensure the state has enough...

Im saying China can fill the space as a trading partner, as a military partner no, but if the US is backing out from its commitment to Allies then most countries will back their own military. If China sees the US imposing tariffs and being "unreliable", China can move in an offer more...

The status quo might not be perfect, but blowing it up by being crass towards Allies and levying tariffs against Allies isn't going to make America Great Again. It's the wrong solution to the right problem (story of Donald Trump tbh). The US has mishandled foreign policy traditionally when it...

I don’t think the U.S.’s global leadership is just transactional. It's the worlds biggest economy, its soft power attracts foreign investment and gives it a major edge in trade negotiations. Countries want to do business with the U.S. because of its stability, influence, and reliability...

Im not saying Trump is wrong, Europe absolutely needs to do more for its security especially on Ukraine. The way he has gone about it though is completely wrong. Getting into a drag down argument with Zelensky in the Oval Office and sending Vance to Europe to insult their leaders and countries...

It wont happen overnight like a "piss off US we are doing business in Chinese currency". It will be gradual, at first it will be Indian and China starting doing business in Chinese currency. Then in 4 years time, maybe China does a deal with a more, Western Sympathetic country (maybe Turkey...

All good points, it will be interesting to see what Russia comes back with in response to the calls for peace. I dont think the US or Trump will play a major role - Ive noticed with Trump he goes for easy wins or shock and awe but anything requiring deep, long term or complex thinking generally...

I mean look, Zelensky is very much a pain in the ass with his hand out but he is doing what he has to for his country to survive. I think Zelensky and his handlers botched it and he should never have gone to that meeting. He had made it clear that he wanted security guarantees and Trump...

It sucks for Ukraine, but the fighting cant go on forever and with Ukraine dependent on foreign help, it makes their situation difficult. They will not get that territory back they lost...for now. By signing a peace deal with proper security guarantees, they get safety for the near future...

It was a disaster for both the US and Ukraine. Trump will no doubt have his supporters claim that he "talked tough" and wasn't disrespected and really, this wont blow back on Trump himself too much. For the US, long term it is so damaging because their reputation for reliability and leadership...

I think he has done pretty well considering he is carrying more baggage then an airport. Also, he needs to make inroads with the Teal seats, hence the more moderate tone.

Bad idea, it's just a standard re-fried "appeal to the base" policy that has zero chance of becoming reality. The ADF is usually strongly against conscription, even though they have recruitment issues. Due to the volume of conscripts, it will be very expensive and unproductive to train them...

Just to clarify, my post wasn't directed at Pharmacists but rather governments/the system who have systematically devalued the profession. Pharmacists are extremely qualified and should be valued more, however the profession at the moment has evolved into being more focused on retail/sales as...

I wouldnt be doing Paramed or Pharmacy unless you fully understand what those professions entail. With paramed, it is shiftwork which can be very hard on the body as well as your personal life (I live with a health care worker who does shift, its a huge burden). You will also be working in a...

In some cultures, a new wife will place a drop of her period blood into her husbands food to increase his libido. But you know, its tradition, so its not retarded. I mean look at all the "tradition" in the Middle East, a bunch of backwards ass people using a beautiful religion to justify all...

If you really think about it, are those things any less out there then organised religion? I mean, Im a Christian and if you think hard about it, the whole concept is kind of ridiculous. I mean, lets be real, Muslim's love nothing more than killing each other in the name of Allah...the same...

You mean like...someone who isnt either over the hill or has been around so long they have more baggage then the Kardashians? Lies. They will almost certainly go with a straight white male from a swing state with a fairly moderate platform. There is no way they go with Pete, being gay makes...

But that isnt what people are seeing. When you have bills and are worried about paying for your kids school, braces etc you're patience for long lofty goals wears thin quickly. I understand these things because I have 10 years of experience working in the Public Service, but to the average...
