  1. The only solution as there isn't any way to stop it politically: Use plate blockers to avoid the cameras reading your plates (RC ones are available online). Don't pay their fines. Rip the cameras down every time they get put up.

  2. All that'll achieve is a complete and utter prohibition on all travel. If such a ban were implemented, it'd apply to all private aircraft (even small bush planes) and all boats (no matter how small). Private yachts aren't the problem, remember that all sailing catamarans that are bluewater (ocean) rated (required or its illegal to leave national boundaries) are considered yachts under law. Sailing catamarans aren't harming the environment and remain in service (albeit usually with multiple owners) for 30+yrs. As for limiting the rich to only one home with not more than five bedrooms, two issues arise: 1. What is they have a large family (say 8-14 kids), why can't everyone have a bedroom 2. What is rich? I ask this because the definition of "rich" always has an ever reducing threshold. Once the real rich leave a country, the "rich" get defined as rich; this repeats until the person earning $80,000 before tax is defined as "rich". What's wrong with someone being able to own more than one home or a private yacht? Jealously is very unbecoming and only ever a destructive thing. Jealously and this "the rich this, the rich that" is exactly the bullshit that's single-handedly destroyed Australia and made the place unlivable. My family aren't rich (pre-tax income $85,000) but because the definition of "rich" keeps dropping, we suddenly got categorised as "rich" simply because we own our own home (3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom (bathroom + toilet room)), regardless that three generations are living in it as thanks to housing being sold to foreign businesses, housing is both unavailable and unaffordable for locals. Its a well established fact that banning things doesn't work within a country. Banning foreign businesses from coming in and buying everything so they can exploit the visa system would dramatically help.

  3.  @ianbardon8581  That's actually impossible - you won't be able to buy anything, nor will you be able to attend any govt office or hospital. You also won't be able to pay your taxes which will result in the govt taking everything from you by force. That's the problem. If it isn't stopped by the govt now, it can't be stopped later.

  4.  @luismanzanos7058  That's the biggest lie I've ever heard, you like the government claim that but in the last 20yrs its never once been proven true anywhere in the world. The same few engineers who made the robots/automation maintain it whilst the people who were made redundant lose their jobs and have nothing. The problem is that 10 people can product 1000 robots in a month by using automation themselves and they can service every robot/automation required as very little, if any is required. Servers can be fixed remotely and its extremely rare that hardware needs changing. Robots that are used in automation don't need physical servicing more than once a year. Simply put a few servers can put everyone in an office out of a job - especially now that ChatGPT works extremely well and that machine learning is so cheap and accurate. Entire manufacturing facilities can be automated with a few servers, a few pick and place robots and PLC's. I know - I've literally done this as a Control Engineer. 1000 people were made permanently redundant by the company as there weren't any jobs to move those people to. What and where are these millions of jobs that you claim get produced? You need to quit lying to yourself and to everyone else - there are no new jobs as modern technology can made 99.95% of people redundant.

  5. At least you get to retire. In Australia, anyone born after 1975 will basically work till they die as the retirement age keeps getting pushed up 5yrs or 10yrs depending on which party is in power. What annoys me is that women get to retire 15yrs before men - what sexist BS - it should be the same for men and women. Oh yeah, anyone born after 1975 will also likely never see their retirement money (Superannuation) as they'd have to otherwise qualify for a pension and then their super would be made available as if it were a pension. Note that Superannuation is a decent chunk of what would otherwise be your wage - its literally your money but the govt want to take it and use it because "there's better things to spend it on than holding it as superannuation". Also, said Superannuation is capped at $1.5 million for anyone born after 1975 - simply put either due to the normal mandatory contributions and/or as a result of inflation, once that amount is reached the money that would otherwise go to your Superannuation goes directly to 'General Revenues' for the govt to waste how they want - you're not allowed to keep it as your wage.

  6. Just make sure that the guaranteed amount is per account, not per combined accounts. Some banks will look at all accounts in your name and consider them as one when it comes to the guaranteed amount.

  7. Hate to say it but they can do it literally over night. Most people are already used to tapping their card to pay and as such very few places still accept cash, ATM's are disappearing - they last few years helped as they justified it over "spreading the thing" concerns. How they will likely do it over a weekend: * Close the banks on a Friday morning citing "IT issues", dump the banks databases to CSV files (more reliable and compatible than SQL dumps across many versions of SQL, plus reordering CSV is easy and the CSV handlers run much faster being an older simpler technology) and import them into a govt controlled ledger. * Announce to the public over the weekend that all welfare is going 100% digital and that in order to do so, all money will be going digital. * Reassure everyone that their money will be converted at a rate of 1-to-1 and to not worry. * Announce exchange points to convert remaining cash and bank notes into CBDC. * Lastly they'd push out an update to their "Service [State name or Country name]" app (i.e. Service NSW, Service Vic, etc.) with the CBDC part enabled. This app and its equivalents are already used for digital licences, welfare, public healthcare status and for electronic payments in the "Digital Wallet" section. All the CBDC code is already in the govt apps which is why they're so large, all that's not visible is the button to access the functionality but that will appear either though an update or if the app can reach a specific predetermined server (the latter is more likely as that would avoid having to have an update successfully roll out to millions of people). The point is they won't give you a choice, just like the last few years, they'll just do what they want to. Those who resist will be locked out of the system and likely locked up in one of the many "quarantine" facilities they built or in the prisons they've also built over the last few years and are continuing to build. They don't care about pretending to keep capitalism, in Australia they've literally said that they're "rebuilding capitalism" by replacing it with socialism as they claim that "socialism has conquered capitalism" and that "the future has never been brighter but we need socialism to succeed". They're more evil than people give them credit for. The time to act, be it leave, protest, lobby or fight is now, not tomorrow. If you don't like the way things are going, don't wait for others to do something because they will wait until its too late. Educate those around you about it, show them evidence from official sources to support what you're saying. If that fails or if you just don't want to fight it, leave to "greener pastures". In terms of Australia and Canada, both countries are completely lost to the mindless sheep who think socialism is great - it always ends in failed communism; anyone in Australia, New Zealand or Canada who has a brain will leave to "live to fight another day" because there's no way to fight when the majority want things to continue the way they're going. Change only occurs when the majority want it. There's no point staying and being self-destructive by trying to fight and going broke and then not having the option to leave. As the old saying goes "its better to leave a day too soon, than a a day too late; leave early and you can always return, leave late and you'll perish".

  8.  @tasrykens  Plate blockers cover the entire number plate or change it to a different one (if you have one that holds two plates). Note that in most countries in the world, plate blockers are illegal to use but not to own, they are however the only solution to stop cameras reading your number plates where this kind of tyranny is concerned.

  11.  @MajorSam4321  your ignorance to reality is amazing. All you'd achieve is to make your own life as a common person harder. The rich would move away and continue life whilst you lose everything as the jobs and tax money disappears. If you actually read my comments fully instead of glancing at them your realise that all you'll achieve is that you get considered to be the "rich" and that your ability to leave a country would be gone.

  12.  @bunberrier  Generally only Mechanical Engineers who are Control certified are allowed to do that however the issue isn't in getting qualified - the issue is that there is already more than enough qualified engineers who can maintain and service automation. It only takes one or two people to service an entire facility as the equipment is extremely reliable, centrally controlled by servers and physical maintenance is extremely rare and parts are easily replaced. Automation has only ever destroyed jobs and reduced the overall number of people needed. It only takes two people to automate an entire office with servers and those same two people can automate an entire manufacturing facility with CNC equipment, pick and place robots, automatic conveyors and PLC's. That's literally over 1000 people made redundant at a single facility. The govt and morons claim that its creating new jobs yet I haven't seen a single new job created as a result of automation taking jobs away.

  13.  @tonylam9548  Spot on. I would also add that for people who want to both travel the world and who want a more affordable alternative to a home, sailing catamarans are a great option (~$200k second hand). They're considered a yacht under law as they have to be bluewater rated to be used internationally yet most people in this thread seem to ignore the fact that what they want to do will only hurt them. Sadly these people are a product of a crap education system as they don't understand business, finance, economics or the consequences of high taxation and anti-rich laws.
    2
  14.  @blaqbastion1501  My point is that in reality the unintended consequences will cover any bluewater vessel as the laws only screw we normal people. I only mentioned it as most people don't realise that a yacht is any bluewater rated vessel and thus any ban or tax would apply to more than just the rich on luxury / mega yachts as politicians loosely / poorly word everything.

  15. Except that it can't. The problem which exists and is unlike any time before in history is that the debt is absolutely global. No one country can afford to forgive the debt as doing so would destroy them and every other country that trades with them. We're literally in a MAD (mutually assured destruction) situation at the moment, everything to too tightly interwoven. This is exactly why the world is closing and becoming more insular, why every country wants to do everything itself. Only when countries are 100% self-sufficient and don't need the rest of the world, can they forgive the debt without destroying themselves.

  16. Then you have to start again from $0 because they'll likely bring in a 99% exit tax to stop people from leaving.

  17. You're 100% correct about CO2, I've been saying the same ever since they started claiming it was bad. Farmers add nitrogen to the soil via multiple means to improve soil fertility. One method is to pump nitrogen into a sealed mixer that contains soil under pressure, the easiest way is to add nitrogen rich fertiliser to the soil or to mix pelletised nitrogen into the ground and add water to trigger the pellets to release nitrogen. The Vostok Ice cores showed that high CO2 levels caused plants to have approximately 5x more biomass and the planet to have more breathable air and cooler global temperatures. The same ice cores also showed that high methane levels caused the exact opposite. They also showed that global temperature fluctuations were caused by the sun (the biggest thing that effects our planets temperature) and that during the middle ages the planet was on average 10-15 degrees Celsius hotter than currently but with 2x the plant biomass. There's a reason that they quit talking about the ice cores around the time they start this climate hysteria - the ice cores prove the climate hysteria to be false. Its all about control, power and global depopulation - all to be carried out by unelected nutty "elites" from the WEF. The whole "CO2 bad, Nitrogen bad" crap is to justify global depopulation as less CO2 = smaller plants which means less breathable air, more dust and pollution and fewer people. Remember the Georgia Guidestones' point "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature." - according to the MSM we're at 8+ billion, approx 7.5 billion too many according to the elites. We are the carbon they want to reduce.

  18. When you look at not just the interest rates but also the exchange rate, the national debt, the inflation and the cost of living and the stagnation of wages, we're actually much worse off than people were during the great depression. The govt just don't want to admit they screwed up because they're to narcissistic and would rather act like everything is normal.

  19.  @ddake9810  You're still choosing to ignore the truth that the economy is completely stuffed and you still want to blame the "youth" as if they're to blame - its those who are 50+ who caused the shit-show, who pushed the commie welfare crap and socialist crap as teachers and politicians. I have zero debt (always avoided it and never had it), have lived on a tight budget since I was 6yrs old (that's when my education in finance, savings and investments began as per family tradition that goes back centuries in Italy) and rely on no one other than myself. I've worked for basically nothing and only got a good wage when I was able to be self-employed. I will most definitely tell you about high prices - the cost of living has tripled since 2020 - yeah the same food items I've always eaten have tripled in cost. That's solely thanks to the govt, all the climate taxes and the ""2020 thing" has caused shipping to be expensive and cause shortages" BS that the govt keep lying about along with the govt forever letting the utility companies continuously increase the "service charges". The govt do this because it means more GST for the govt - the govt love high prices. I only eat at home unless invited to an event, my phone is 8yrs old and I've never just bought products for the sake of it. The people who pushed the prices so high are 100% the govt. People pay the high prices because they have zero choice. You either buy whats available or you go without. Want to grow food? Guess what - most people don't have backyards and are very limited as to what they can grow. Unless you have a farm you won't be having any animals/livestock of any kind due to lack of space and govt regulations. You claim that people are impatient - nope, people still have to eat - the basics have tripled in cost whilst wages continue to remain stagnant as they've been for the last 20yrs! As for your comments about houses - yes the prices are insane but the govt love that as it means they get more in Stamp Duty, GST, Capital Gains and Council Rates. During the "2020 thing" more houses were sold than ever before, the buyers were all foreign investors. Locals have been priced out for the last decade. Sadly building more is NOT the solution as that only results in the loss of farmland as the cities infinitely sprawl onto prime farmland - they never expand into the desert-like crappy farmland, and more foreign investors. The only solution is to ban foreigners from owning homes and only letting citizens own homes - this is why Europe is still affordable for citizens. House prices by law can't reduce. The under-quoting laws go as far as making it illegal for anyone to sell a property for anything less than the current average market value. This was done intentionally by the govt as all they care about is tax revenue, they never look at the long term picture. The only way house prices could reduce would be if for many years (5-10) every house sold for 5-10% less than they're worth - this would push prices down but would still result in govt investigations as to why the properties sold for less than they're worth and owners could be hit with penalties. Also, its 100% illegal to build your own house yourself, the govt requires you to use licenced builders for all of it. DIY has been long banned. Think I'm full of shit, come to Australia and see it for yourself. Its also the same in Canada, New Zealand and the UK.

  21. The richest people in the world live in Europe and their money is held as Euros. Also, given that Central and Eastern Europe are increasing their manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, mining of precious metals (offshore deposits), recycling of metals and minerals, and, farming, there is little need for the 3rd world (BRICS). Its actually the 3rd world who actually need Europe. Given that they need Europe, they will have to pay on the terms that Europe sets which will be to pay in Euros or bullion. The idea that Europe needs the 3rd world and will be forced to pay in bullion is laughable at best. I see the Euro becoming the new world reserve currency once the US dollar completely collapses in the very near future.

  22. They don't care. They already do both. They ban what they can and the things they don't think can be banned outright, they price people out of then ban. They don't need to learn anything. What rock have you been sleeping under? They've been doing this for 50yrs!

  24. France could easily fix this by rounding up every single illegal they let in and deporting them back to the 3rd world where they belong. France intentionally chooses to let this happen. Its disgusting and sad. I also find it disgusting that they walled off the Eiffel Tower and that you can no longer freely walk under it - thankfully I got to see it when you could still walk freely under it. France is truly destroyed along with Western Europe. Just shows why certain people (i.e. scum) should be kept in the 3rd world only.

  25. Bullshit. Electricity does more environmental harm and causes more fires than gas.

  26.  @evolutionxbox  How the f*** is it even possible? Houses are limited to 63A on normal power, getting three phase installed will cost over $100,000 as they have to dig up the road to install it underground by law - it will also take up to a year for them to install it. How are you going to run 4-6 pots, the oven and the microwave (all electric) when an induction cooktop pulls 32A with two high "burners" on, the oven pulls 20A and the microwave pulls 20A whilst the TV, computers, a NAS, network and lights are running? That's basically 100A required! That's why I use a gas stove and a gas oven. If they ban gas, I'll just use a woodstove and oven for "cultural reasons" or just BBQ with a cooking firepit everyday.

  27.  @Qwijebo  You're clearly watching old videos - they've come a hell of a long way since. Look for videos from 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. They can't be knocked over, they can do most things humans can and they can operate a door knob (used to be hard if not impossible for robots). There's even videos of these humanoid robots using firearms whilst walking and running (if you see a "Boston Dynamics" watermark its real).

  28. And use what? Electricity is dirty and there is no such thing as "green energy" where a grid is involved. What good is an electric cooktop? You need a flame for proper cooking, plus how else are you going to cook when the power is out? In Australia, old homes are permitted 80Amps of power from the street until any work needs to be done at the switchboard (where meter is installed) at which point the new 63A restriction applies, new homes are only permitted 63A. Electric cooktops run at 32A with only two high "burners" (read: elements) running. How the hell does one run at the same time, 4-6 pots, the stove and the microwave on electricity? You can't. This is why gas stoves and ovens are essential. Most houses commonly use 40A just for the computers, networking and TV's, etc. collectively. Sure some places permit you to get three phase power to your house but that can take up to a year to be installed and the install will cost over $100,000 as they'll have to dig up the road and your property as three phase must be installed underground in Australia. Oh and Climate Change isn't real. Sure the climate changes but if you look at the last 60,000 yrs of temperature data, we're in one of the coolest periods ever. The 1200-1600 was on average 10-15 degrees Celsius hotter than current times.

  29.  @jesseh998  Sounds like you didn't read, or that you skimmed over my comment. I explain why its not possible to use electric cooktops in place of gas. If you actually read my comment you'd know that even if people wanted to use electric, its impossible as suitable power isn't an option and having three phase installed is unaffordable ($100,000+). Its a fact that you can't run 4 - 6 pots on high (96A), an electric oven on high (20A), a microwave on high (20A) plus your normal home equipment/appliances (TV, audio, computer, network, lights, rangehood, etc.) without three phase power.

  30.  @djf8619  Literally the only places this won't happen are the tax havens. If you own a house your best bet would be to sell up and throw most of that money into CBI in the Caribbean (one of the full member OECS countries - this way you can then move to St. Kitts & Nevis or Antigua & Barbuda where they have 0% PIT). The tax havens will remain untouched as that's where the "elites" live and keep their money.

  31.  @beefy0978  Like in Nigeria, they'll give you a card that has everything stored on it in a chip (wafer card). That way you're still subject to their tyranny and terror but they don't need to give you a phone or internet. Want to buy food - scan the card, want to walk somewhere - scan the card at the checkpoint, etc. In Nigeria they call it a "Health Card"...

  32.  @MadHeadzOz  I'm not making assumptions. The definition of "rich" reduces every bloody year. Its 7 people and yeah two earning a collective $85,000 before tax - for reasons I won't go into here, none of us qualify for any welfare, plus there's plenty more in need of it than us so it's never even been a thought even though we're all citizens since birth. I'm not spinning any story, I'm stating the facts of my life. I'm not whinging about it but mentioning it as too few people understand how politics of envy and the "the rich are bad" mentality only affects we the average person, never the actual rich. As for knowing how these bans would work - its easy, just look at the EU. They did it but guess who is exempt? The rich. The other point I was trying to make regarding boats is that bans will only affect the average person, the rich will always get around it or simply move somewhere else. I agree with you that the majority of aussie's are absolutely braindead when it comes to politics - I hate how they vote because of one policy without knowing the entire party platform; unfortunately that's the problem of them not giving a damn and having mandatory voting with fines for failing to vote. Most people have no clue about budgets or not spending all their money because they never get taught finance and budgeting at school. They also don't get taught how to do their taxes - they simply get told to go and pay an accountant even though their tax is generally extremely simple. Yes, people need to be responsible for themselves but over the last 30yrs the majority have found it easier to just blame everyone else than have any self responsibility.

  33. Except you can't stockpile medicine - medicine requires prescriptions. Not to mention that most 'western' countries now limit how much medication you can have at a time; the days of being able to get more than 3 months worth of medicine and have a 6 month holiday away from civilization (main cities, or an overseas trip) is basically over. These restrictions were introduced in 2020 and still remain as the regime (sorry... govt) doesn't want people having medicine.

  34.  @davidgoodnow269  Honestly, I'm not surprised to hear 600 rejections. Most businesses aren't hiring people as companies use job postings as free advertising. Most job boards won't charge a business (beyond the initial posting fee) until they find someone for the job. The job ad keeps the business name around. As for your suggestion of "strengthening" qualifications - that's only going to make it harder. Most businesses want the person with the least skills except for the exact skills the job requires. For example, in Australia, if a business wanted to hire someone for hydraulics and pneumatics, they wouldn't hire someone with a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Degree in Engineering. They'd hire the person with the Cert 4 in Engineering (Fluid Power) as that person is only qualified in hydraulic and pneumatics and thus the business only has to pay the govt mandated award-based wage for a holder of a cert 4. This wage is significantly less than a higher qualified person. As for "how you can help a business by having skills you perceive them to want" - that doesn't help because most businesses don't want skilled people. They want an exact fit who they can pay peanuts to OR they want no-one because they have someone internally but are required to advertise the job under law OR because they're using the job posting as free advertising. Ever had a business tell you that you were overqualified or "we don't care what other things you could contribute, we only care about the job requirements"? That's the reality and that's why I recommend those struggling to get jobs to look overseas and if possible land a job where your skills and qualifications are recognised, get that work visa through the company and move where you're wanted. USA, UK, CAN, AU & NZ don't want people working and only care about regulating everyone out of work.

  36. Only problem is that outside the USA getting licenced for those jobs is at a minimum 10yrs of nothing but training and work experience only to find the rules have changed and you no longer qualify to get the licence without yet another course (speaking from experience with this exact problem). The govt want to keep you in education and not have you actually doing anything. Licensure is the barrier to entry, even for the qualified! There are already huge shortages of these people with licences - its only going to get worse. Note that in most countries, the giant multi-nationals (EATON, APC, etc.) are all specially exempt from most professional licencing as they are allowed to do in-house training for their staff who install their products but everyone else must jump through the govt hoops which keep getting harder.

  39. Bullshit - its illegal immigration, large welfare states and high taxes that cause it. The rich leave because why should they lose over half of what they work for because the regime wants it as 'taxes'? You're a filthy commie scumbag who needs to get off your arse and actually work. I'm not anywhere near rich but I sure as hell am leaving CANZUK & CUNA because why should I lose 50% of what I work for as 'taxes' so you can do nothing. If every illegal and 3rd worlder was rounded up by the military and deported to Africa/Middle East (where they came from), the UK would suddenly become wonderful - housing would be affordable, crime would almost entirely vanish, the welfare bill would decimate and taxes could be reduced which would encourage businesses to return (jobs would return). I know that what I'm saying is true and that everything you say is lies because CANZUK & CUNA only became how they are when they let all the illegals in.

  40. Whilst your history is correct, you have to look at the current reality - i.e. you have to momentarily put history aside. The most important thing that currently exists is the stopping (or defeat) of Russia in Ukraine. If Russia takes Ukraine (yeah Russia wants the whole country), then the Baltics, Poland and most of Europe east of Germany will be invaded and destroyed. Putin is doing the same thing Hitler did, the old "just one more country" or "just one more territory". Remember, Russia invaded and illegally occupies two parts of Georgia, they illegally invaded and currently run Kazakhstan, they attacked and control large parts of Mongolia, they illegally took Crimea and most recently invaded Ukraine. Oh then there's the "refugee" warfare Russia is committing against the EU by intentionally flying illegal immigrants "refugees" into Russia, then to Belarus in the hopes of overrunning the borders of the EU - note that these illegals are paying approximately $25,000USD to Russia so they can "get into the EU". Putin has said in multiple recent interviews that he wants to rebuild the Tsarist Empire as his legacy. That means the abolition of most free countries (incl. Poland) in Europe. If Ukraine falls, he gains all the equipment and supplies that Ukraine has - this would mean instead of Russia having to use crappy old barely operable equipment, they'd have actually usable equipment. Simply put, stop Russia, then worry about any problems you have with Ukraine. Now is not the time to dredge up history and create tensions between two countries (Poland and Ukraine), now is the time to stop Russia and then and only then worry about these historical issues. Trust me when I say, I know what my family suffered in Nazi Occupied Poland and parts of what is now Ukraine, so I understand how you feel.

  41.  @RhaniYago  Trains are being outlawed as well, just indirectly. As air travel ends, trains and vehicles will be taxed to 'fund the welfare' for those who lost everything when air travel ends. The result is trains will cost a fortune and take you basically no where. Trains don't cross the oceans, boats are being banned, people are going to be stuck where they are.

  42. Won't work. Look at Australia & New Zealand during the plandemic. Only supermarkets were open during lockdowns, there was no buying from a farmer. To those who say "grow your own", look at all the new "Biosecurity" acts that were brought into law at the State level during the lockdowns - these acts make it illegal to grow your own produce in most cases and where they do permit you to grow your own, you must buy seeds as harvesting seeds from your first produce and replanting has been made illegal under "Biosecurity" laws as they claim its a disease risk even though we know that to be rubbish. Oh, also note that unless your neighbours truly respect your privacy, you run the risk of being ratted out by your neighbours for having a veggie patch as there are 14 "tip" lines for dobbing in people over literally anything - its like East Germany and the Soviet Union. One of my friends had a jealous neighbour (wanted a heap of veggies for free - note that sharing produce is illegal under local laws) report her veggie patch as being "quantities exceeding reasonable personal use" (even though she always uses it all herself) and that she was "illegally distributing produce without the relevant licence" (she never did this) and the govt came and destroyed the entire veggie patch in her backyard, telling her she should be grateful they didn't get her arrested and charged and that next time won't be just a warning.

  43. AI - it'll never be banned. Its like Australia's encryption ban - yes it exists on paper but can't be enforced as the laws of mathematics make it impossible to comply with and not using encryption just isn't an option. As long as people can write programs, scripts, etc. AI can be easily created - the hard part is training it with datasets but those can be rented, bought or created. As for BRICS - Argentina have just stepped out of that so its already falling apart. South Africa is a crime-riddled black supremacist failed state of literally no value to anyone. Oil is less of an issue as synthetic oil is easily created very cheaply. Only 10% of the world are aligned against the "west" and those 10% of the world will simply go without and fail. China is a failed state surviving only by tyranny and murder - their mistake was communism and then giving out loans that'll never be repaid to places that don't have anything worth taking as payment (why do you think the "west" want CBDC's - its not just control, its to get out of debt). Simply put - a death cult religion of ragheads getting together is just a group that need to be destroyed - sadly the "west" are too soft to do this once and for all. Everyone else on the planet can get along except them - it still amazes me that they have been let into the "west" as they only exist to destroy and take over. Even India know this and are only part of BRICS as a way to get rich quickly by doing short term export - their goal is to eliminate Pakistan and Bangladesh and retake the lands that rightfully belong to India - ragheads in India are already fleeing India because no one cares what happens to them.

  45.  @norawheeler2555  They will be replaced - it is all but inevitable. The AI datasets that the general public see are antiquated and toys at best. The more a dataset is improved though training an AI, the faster it learns. A simple block of code which tells the AI to mark anything its unsure of as "needing human verification" will result in rapid improvement as the AI will note what the human verified the thing as and never make that mistake again. The AI will also use that newly verified knowledge to train itself to recognised what that thing is. This self learning results in rapid improvement. I have seen first hand an AI that can do pathology reporting faster and more accurately than any human. The dataset is still being trained using the methodology mentioned in the above paragraph. Also, consider the following: Even when AI is wrong and needs the help of a human, its the same as when automation needs fixing by a human. How many humans are actually required? Only a mere handful. There is no need for billions of people (millions of which are already highly qualified experts). Also note that there are already numerous AI's that can rewrite their own code and fix their own problems - sometimes one AI can fix another when they're able to intercommunicate. The point is one person can maintain hundreds of automated manufacturing plants / assembly lines and hundreds of thousands of servers / computers. Ever wonder how many people big businesses employ in IT - its usually 10 at most and they maintain thousands of servers and thousands of workstations - all through unified centralised management software where they can make the change once and have it occur on all selected systems. This is the problem that AI is creating - it is making people redundant and eliminating many, many jobs. Currently there are no viable solutions and AI isn't going to be prohibited, hence the crappy situation in the world.

  46.  @ianxyoutube  Rubbish. Minimum wage means nothing as it hasn't been a livable wage for anyone since 1998. You really sound like an employer who wants the equivalent of a highly qualified engineer with decades of experience who's wage is $250,000 but you want them to work for $45,000. Simply put that's what most jobs are after, they want the world but refuse to pay accordingly. I don't know anyone who'd work for less than the industry rates yet every job listing is well below the industry rates. The reality is people know what wages should be (yeah everyone talks about wages these days) and many can see better options abroad. You claim to have lived in a dozen countries and reckon they're all the same - clearly they were all high tax, high regulation countries. There's plenty of countries with low or no tax and fair regulations where its easy to make heaps of money. You're saying everyone is whinging simply for pointing out truths yet you expect them to stay and work themselves to death for nothing. Are you worried about losing govt handouts when the taxpayers leave?

  47.  @ianxyoutube  Its got nothing to do with being entitled. Its called a wage that reflects your qualifications and experience if that's what the job requires -which most actually do. Only fools work a job for less than the industry average rate for that type and level of job. Its simple, they want skills, then they need to offer a fair rate - otherwise they won't get the skills made available. Good luck starting "at the bottom" - clearly you no longer understand how the world works. The days of being the janitor and "working your way up" are long gone. Laws, regulations, the legal requirement for qualifications and vast experience have made that old way impossible. No one is "learning on the job", they are required to be qualified, experienced, professionally licenced and insured. That requires a heap of time, effort and money, thus the wage needs to enable and reflect that. No one expects to be fresh out of uni and be paid the wage of a senior engineer, they expect the industry average entry wage of $64,000 (BEng(Mech) - theory/design/scientific) or $80,000 (AdvDip EngTech(Mech) - practial side of things/CNC operation, etc.) and to build from there with time and experience. Yet companies want to pay less than that, knowing full well that anything less is effectively slave labour and actually illegal. The only place where the old "work up from the bottom" system still exists is some parts of the USA and the entire 3rd world. You can thank all the "won't someone think of the children" and "everything in life must be 100% safe" people for the excessive over regulation and excessively expensive professional licencing, insurance and over-the-top experience requirements that are required in basically 90% of industries these days. Here's a fun fact about wages in the EU - they're significantly higher than in the UK and the cost of living is much lower than in the UK.

  48. The same reason the plandemic worked so well. To paraphrase Yuri Bezmenov: "Its easy to convince fools that lies are true, its impossible to convince them that they've been lied to, no matter the evidence you show them. Only when the govt boot is against their neck and its too late, will they realize that they were lied to and that they enabled such tyranny to exist."

  49. Except that heat pumps don't work especially once everyone in a small area has one. The problem is that the politicians and the lefties have zero clue about engineering or about why those of us who are engineers say things won't work, but they push on ahead like they know better. Its typical. The end of the world and life as we know it is upon us. This is our fall of Rome. There won't be anything left. This is a perfect example of why the lefties and masses (one in the same) should be ignored.

  50. The real problem you have is that your equipment is dangerously defective. Properly running gas appliances do NOT affect asthma and aren't dangerous. As for benzene causing cancer - that's utter BS. Sure it'll increase the chance of cancer by ~0.0000015% but so will using a mobile phone. The act of sitting up in bed in the morning can cause a heart attack, going outside will put you at risk of getting run over. Life is dangerous and everything can cause cancer, don't let the fear of cancer or harm stop you from living life.

  51.  @gail1249  You're deluded and shilling people to use electricity for everything which isn't even possible as that would require every house / apartment to be changed to three phase and overall supply to quadruple. Gas is perfectly safe. It has nothing to do with accepting change or not, it has nothing to do with opinion. One of two things are happening, either your equipment is defective (your furnace and ducts) or you're lying. Gas being burnt in appliances that are in proper condition is perfectly safe - that's literally what science says. If your claim of "since I limited use of my furnace my asthma symptoms [have] greatly improved" is true then that 100% confirms that your ducts to and from your furnace are the problem - they're full of dust - ducts are meant to be professionally cleaned at least once a year. Gas isn't going anywhere for a very long time. Sure if you want to waste money and ignore the fact that "correlation doesn't equal causation", no one stops you from changing to electric aside from the excessive cost of doing so. The new "articles" about gas being bad were literally funded by the WEF to further their agenda and to make them money as several of the most important members of the WEF are the induction cooktop manufacturers. Its funny how this "research" suddenly appeared the moment that the induction cooktop manufacturers reported being unable to sell their products and the moment the government decided that they'd rather export their gas for a higher rate than if used locally. How convenient. The WEF are the same people who funded "research" that says that never leaving your house is healthy and that going outside causes cancer to justify lockdowns in Australia, only to then magically bring out "research" that says staying home causes cancer the moment the government wanted people to go out and spend money. The WEF are also the same people who said that food prepared at home causes cancer and that food at restaurants doesn't as its prepared differently. That's utter BS but its official "research". Don't fall for the hype and fear mongering - "science" has zero reputability unless its funded by truly impartial people in modern times. If anyone funding it has an agenda, they'll force the "research" to find what they want or they pull the funding; so guess what, the research says what they need it to, to keep the funding. There are literally huge court cases in Australia about this exact situation.

  53. A year of unpaid "community work" - sounds like modern-day slavery. Germany are still as far left as they were in the 30's and 40's. No one benefits from forcing people to do a year of unpaid "community service" as people need money to live and thus simply won't do it. Ironically this sounds just like what Australia and New Zealand are looking at trying. This smells like a WEF plan for free slave labour. Very sickening that there's zero pay when its the govt demanding it, and very sickening that they think that people owe them a year of slave labour when all the govt has done is shaft those same people and the community wants to destroy them for not being far-left nutcases. Part of Mandatory Engineering Registration in Australia is to go "community service" where you work as an engineer for free for 3-4mths every 3yrs - and they wonder why next to no one registered as engineers and why only 1% of all qualified engineers are willing to register and work as engineers. The real reason they gave up on conscription to military service is they realised how useless the majority of people are and that no one would want to rely on them in a war.

  54. Its called filming the city as it is. You're genuinely lying to yourself if you think there's anything normal about the results of the illegal invasion by the death cult of nutjobs who spread their religion of hate, who think crime is okay and who are and always will be 100% uncivilized. When you import the 3rd world, you become the 3rd world. Central and Eastern Europe have the right answer - strict borders. Instead of being invaded, they defend themselves and only help people where they are. Why letting illegals in is NEVER the solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6tSqGCfoCI Pre-2010 big cities in CANZUK & CUNA weren't like this at all. Since then, they're all 100% ruined, unsafe and overrun by death cult nutjobs who think they can do as they please. Its sickening. Get your head out of the sand and quit lying to yourself before its too late, or are you one of the scum who think letting the illegals in is great?

  56. 1 - because he doesn't put all his "eggs" in the one basket. He can see opportunities to make some money quickly and so he does 2 - Devolution is actually a real thing. If things regress (i.e. devolve) then that's absolute proof that things were bad and unworkable. Evolution only occurs when the change is highly efficient, beneficial and well proven Will people go back to trading in gold and silver? Absolutely. Only fools and morons think otherwise. There is nothing else on this planet that is as valuable as gold and silver can't be artificially made and they aren't highly abundant and thus they are valuable. Everyone knows what they're worth and everyone knows that over thousands of years, whilst currencies have come and gone, gold and silver have remained a constant. Look at Venezuela, Cuba, etc. everything has three prices - Bolivars / Gold / Silver. They literally will shave gold and silver to get the correct amount to buy the things they need and want because the money is so worthless. If you back a currency by gold or silver you can't just add to it. The problem was when the USA left the gold standard so they could "print more money". When you have a currency backed by bullion, the only way to adjust the amount in circulation is to reprice the bullion, you can't just "print more money". If you think Bitcoin is the solution, tell me, what's going to happen when the internet or power are gone? How will you use bitcoin? You can't as it won't function. At least with gold and silver you can carry pieces, shavings, etc. of it and trade it for goods and services. Bullion is real money and doesn't need anything else in order to work. If you think Bitcoin can't be added to, double-spent or otherwise manipulated, unfortunately you're misled. It most definitely can, all you need to do is to control 51% of the mining (this is easy for a govt as they can force their citizens to a different MainNet) - then you can manipulate the blockchain however you like as you have enough controlled consensus to approve the otherwise illegal changes. Bitcoin and all crypto can't be married to bullion - all crypto is tied to energy due to the need for crypto mining. In the long run, the time proven solution (bullion) will win out and society will start afresh. Personally I would be ensuring I have some bullion safely locked away and I would be slowly building up sufficient supplies of shelf-stable foods and products/tools that I know I'll need and that will last before things get worse.

  57. Fact: If Russia isn't stopped in Ukraine then the entire "west" will be destroyed by Russia. Everyone needs to stop thinking that Russia are powerful - they're not, they're actually weak as weak; the proof being how long the so-called "three day take-over" has gone. Wake up and quit believing the bullshit lies that Russia keep spouting, they're all bullshit. Let's go through Russia's lies: * Nazis in Ukraine - guess what, there's Nazis in every country, especially Russia which is a country full of Nazis (they just don't use that term) * Everyone threatening and wanting to invade Russia - Literal bullshit. Not a single country other than China has any desire to invade Russia. Russia is a giant wasteland with zero accessible resources. Remember the whole "mineral wealth in Russia will dominate the world" bullshit. That went silent when they realised that accessing any mineral wealth in Russia isn't financially viable as its below a bluestone reef 1km thick. * Poland and the Baltics are preparing to invade Russia - utter bullshit. These countries are preparing for an invasion by Russia as they aren't part of Russia (and never will be) and refuse to be under the thumb of Russia ever again Simply put all Russia does is lie and brainwash its people with lies. Russian people literally think that the whole world are Nazis, that the whole world is wanting to invade and destroy Russia, that everyone outside of Russia is torturing animals for fun, that only Russia can save the world and that its good for Russians to go abroad and indiscriminately kill non-Russians. This is the reality of Russia and was made public when people were being interviewed by the media as to why they want to sign up and fight against Ukraine. What this tells any sane person is that Russia needs to be contained within its borders and its citizens banned from being anywhere outside of Russia. Then there's the fact that Putin has said that he wants to rebuild the Tsarist Empire - this requires the take-over of Europe, the Baltics and the Balkans. He's also declared that he's getting ready to take back Alaska as he's decided that the legal sale of Alaska to the USA is now magically "invalid". Anyone who thinks its only about Ukraine is a moron - just like Hitler, it's always "just one more country" until he's invaded and taken over everything. Note that he's already invaded Georgia, Ukraine (Crimea and Eastern Ukraine), Belarus (Putin is really in charge of Belarus), French Africa (the Wagner coups is 100% Putin's fault) and the current Israel-gaza war (100% orchestrated by Russia to spread "western" forces thin). The single biggest threat to Russia is Putin. If Putin quit indoctrinating the Russian people with lies and to hate anyone who isn't Russian, and if Russia simply stayed within its own borders then Russia would have zero issues.

  58. I've been saying the same thing ever since they started claiming CO2 was bad. All I've seen is smaller and fewer plants that are more yellow than green, fewer bees, the air has gotten a lot dustier and pollution has increased. Its intentional to cause mass global depopulation. No plants = no breathable air = no food = no people. Meanwhile the elites have NBC bunkers, air generation systems and all the food they don't want us having. Remember the Georgia Guidestones' statement on global population "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature". We're at 8+ billion if you believe the MSM. Thats approx 7.5 billion too many in the eyes of the elites. They only need enough people to do all the things that are too beneath the elite. Remember, we are the carbon they want to reduce!

  59.  @redpillnibbler4423  What's that got to do with anything. The govt announced the ban after making it law. The people never get or got a say. Thanks to the consolidation of power that happened during the '2020 thing' under emergency powers, there's isn't any way for the people to have a say. The law only gets applied as it suits the government and the elections permit electoral fraud, specifically parties that claim to be against another party whilst secretly being run by and support that exact party whilst deceiving the people. The gas ban prevents new builds from being connected to gas and in 2030 an outright ban on gas for everyone.

  62. Its partly for what's been mentioned in the above replies but the main reason is because the only way to cause huge food shortages and famine is to not just ban farming and the growing of produce but to ensure that the land can't secretly be used to do so. The quickest way is to develop everything. Also, by bringing in illegal immigrants, they're counting on unrest and crime to increase which helps to further justify the ever increasing tyranny, control and surveillance state. Its 100% depopulation!

  64. In Australia we're hearing the same BS from the media. They're lying and trying to gaslight everyone that everything is better than ever. The reality is the opposite. The easiest way to spot the lies is if you watch the news, note how zoomed in the camera is on the presenter so you can't see the empty shopping centre behind the presenter. In Australia, most businesses went broke thanks to the restrictions, especially in Victoria where they had the longest lockdown outside of China. Also in Australia the depression will be exponentially worse as the things that are being bought are mostly being bought with debt such as credit cards and Afterpay or PayPal's Pay-In-Four - I have a feeling that most people won't be able to pay their debts when the time comes and thus the depression when it fully hits will be exponentially worse than if people actually only spent what they could afford. Also it should be noted that food businesses and supermarkets are now letting people use Afterpay to buy food so its obvious how bad everything is but the media are only claiming the opposite.

  68.  @Igoriann  The reason people don't want to get qualified is usually because they're in a country such as Australia where it takes forever to get qualified (TAFE & mandatory apprenticeship) for things that could be solely taught at TAFE in practical hands on classes (i.e. plumbing and gas fitting, electrical work (electrician)). 3-6yrs (course + apprenticeship as both are mandatory) to get qualified as a plumber (assuming you can land the apprenticeship - a requirement to even enroll in the course) VS 4yrs getting a degree and getting a job in another country where you get paid well. Also, the more bureaucracy the govt creates, the more people leave as they can't be bothered with jumping through more hoops and paperwork. The primary cause of this is govt's trying to keep everyone in education and to eliminate every single risk / injury down to paper-cuts. A lot of people are also being kept out of industries because they have a relative already in that industry. In Australia, if you have a relative already working in any medical field, you're automatically prohibited from doing the exam required to enter medical courses so that "the same families don't keep taking all the places and not letting other people have a go". So you get this situation where those other people don't want to do medicine and because the govt prohibit anyone with relatives in medicine from getting qualified, there happen to be huge shortages and thus the govt brings in "skilled migrant workers" because "there's no one in Australia who wants to work". People are sick of this BS, no matter what industry they're in. Then there's people such as myself who got qualified in their industry (engineering), only to have the govt regulate us out of work by having excessive requirements in order to register under the newly introduced mandatory registration, requirements that make zero sense for the industry, so, I went overseas where my qualifications were happily accepted without any of the BS. As for people who want to sit at home and make money - its easy. Plenty of people get paid to do work from home as freelancers, writers, programmers, web designers, etc. A lot have got into financial trading (day trading, etc.). "When the rules of the game keep changing every time you come close to winning, the only way to win, is to not play the game!" This quote is exactly what people are doing, they're pivoting, going overseas to where they're treated best and / or simply not playing the unwinnable game.

  70. Fixing (i.e. paying) the debt is easy. If the "western" world quit being bloody welfare states, they'd be able to pay down the debt which would dramatically shrink the interest payments. But no, instead of having pain now whilst the debt is relatively low (when compared to 2050 estimates), they'd rather keep delaying, increasing the debt, debasing the dollar and gearing up for the collapse to end all collapses. If they dealt with it now and had pain, it'd be bad but survivable. By delaying it, they're all but guaranteeing their absolute destruction / collapse from which no one will survive. If they hope that this will drive people to CBDC as it might look "attractive", then they're fooling themselves as many are waking up to the truth of what a CBDC is and why they're dangerous. Basically, the west is destroying itself and will cease to exist when it all comes crashing down. It is very likely that the Euro will take over as the global reserve currency as its used by at least 28 countries who collectively contain the richest people in the world. Whilst the 3rd world thinks its gonna do well with BRICS, they're delusional. Ironically, every country that joins BRICS is immediately cut off from trade with the west (some exceptions apply such as China because they're still deemed essential at the moment) as they're trading with a sanctioned country (Russia) which thanks to ITAR prohibits trade and assistance to any country that trades with a sanctioned country. Its actually quite surprising how many daily used items are actually subject to ITAR. Their assumptions are based on "the west, especially Europe needs us". Providing that Central and Eastern Europe continue to do things themselves (i.e. manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, farming, mining, etc.) then there is no need for the 3rd world as far as trade is concerned. This is good for the Euro because it means that if the 3rd world want aid, food, products and services, they'll need to obtain them from Europe if they can't obtain it from themselves. This means that they'll have to pay on the terms of Europe - i.e. Euros. Their only other option would be to pay in bullion - this is the opposite flow that BRICS want; they expect the world to pay them in bullion, not for them to pay the rest of the world. Ever since the '2020 thing', a lot of manufacturing has moved back to Central and Eastern Europe, the war in Ukraine has only helped accelerate this process due to sanctions and trade / export bans.

They already think that printing more money is good - do you really think they won't just make a UBI that keeps making tokens? They already plan on the UBI/CBDC being fully programmable and being able to both limit what you buy and where you can buy things, they also intend to be able to adjust your balance as they see fit.

  74. Letting Russia 'win' and ensuring that WW3 finally takes off is hugely controversial. The only reason Ukraine haven't won is because the 'west' won't let them use the equipment how they want, whilst Putina is happily doing just that with his equipment and hitting everything everywhere in Ukraine. This is 100% what Nazi Germany did in the 1930's - invade everywhere, the 'west' say 'please stop', Nazi Germany laughs and just ignores it - the result was WW2 because the 'west' happily and intentionally refused to help stop the threat whilst it was possible. Russia is currently stoppable, the 'west' are once again too gutless and cowardly to do so as they'd rather have WW3 take off because $$$$$$. Simply put, if Ukraine's borders aren't restored, Russia will simply take the 'win' and immediately attack the Baltics, Finland and Poland. That means WW3 on full scale.

  76. @NeilMcCoyWard Welcome to Communism and its core tenant - POLITBURO and "wrong think & wrong speak". They NEED to control the narrative just like during the plandemic because they know that their plans will only work if the masses are uninformed of facts and only if the masses are unable to communicate with each other. This control of speech is core to indoctrinating and brainwashing people. They always go after the easy targets first - social media posts and sharing information because these people a experts at disseminating information and communicating - skills that could be used against the regime one day (hence why they must be stamped out). Then they go after ANY & ALL political opposition - there's only room for one party - hence the "right are bad, only the left are good and able to save the world", etc. Lastly, they remove the "family" - your kids belong to the State and you have zero rights to be a parent - its a 'privilege' the State chooses to bestow upon only the "best" citizens. The entire time this happens, you lose everything - your job, your house and all you money - then you have no choice but to comply because the only one who can keep you alive is the State. That's communism and what being behind the Iron Curtain was. Honestly, as someone who agrees with you on a lot of things, who's family faced persecution by both the Nazis & the Soviets, I would highly recommend that you do a CBI program (if you haven't already) so that should worst come to worst, you can flee to a safe place where the tyranny isn't happening. Things will only get worse and the more the masses try to resist, the more tyrannical and extreme the regime will become as the time to stop the tyranny was at least a decade ago, but most definitely pre-2020!

  77. palestine isn't a country, a territory or a place. Its a fabrication made by religious nuts to try to conquer the Holy Land that rightfully belongs to the Vatican! Anyone who thinks palestine is real is 100% a terrorist as only Ham-arse think its real. Ham-arse is a declared terrorist organization. Ironically, had those nuts have accepted a "state" the many times they were offered, things would be vastly different (i.e. they wouldn't be stateless and would have the ability to do deals and trade which only real countries can). Only countries can be part of BRICS, given palestine isn't real, it can't legally be part of BRICS, nor can a "palestine" passport exist - currently its considered a "Fantasy passport" by the world.

  78.  @homesteadgal4143  most weren't outsourced but only a mere handful of people were required so 99% lost their jobs. Outsourcing was a pre-full automation measure mostly in the 90's and early 2000's. By 2010 even the outsourced were made redundant by servers and automation.

  79.  @homesteadgal4143  I've done my research the US doesn't outsource much work. They automated everything and resorted to buying in completed products which isn't outsourcing, that's being a retailer. Outsourcing is when a company operates in one country but employs people in another which barely happens in the US as most businesses became retailers and thus don't employ people abroad.
    1
  80.  @homesteadgal4143  That's literally importing, not outsourcing. Outsourcing is exclusively a term for a company moving its staff or production abroad (note that the production must be 100% owned and operated by the same company). What you are describing is importing as the product is 100% independent of the company inside the US. So take your own advice and do the research. The US is a primary importer however they have almost zero outsourcing of jobs. The topic was never about goods - only jobs.

  81. It has zero value - its 100% dependent on energy (power) and the centrally controlled internet, it requires insane amounts of data to be recorded forever in order to function and is easily controlled by controlling the mining. Whilst privacy coins are untraceable they have the same problems as normal crypto. If you think blockchain is the solution and will last, look what the govts have done to privacy coins and crypto - delisted from exchanges, illegal to possess/have/own/use, on-ramping and off-ramping to all exchanges has been banned by most western banks along with PayPal and most credit cards, mandatory govt id registration of wallets, use of hardware wallets banned (on-chain crypto only), just to mention a few things the west has done. How long until the govts force ISP's to block all crypto at the protocol level? How long until govts forcibly shut down any exchange that supports crypto? How long until govts make the possession, use or acceptance of crypto illegal? How long until govts do what Australia did and tax crypto so heavily that its literally not worth having? I have a bad feeling that when WEB4 launches (the internet that is 100% govt ID regulated and controlled), it won't support any unauthorised protocols or transmissions and thus won't support crypto. The result would be all the crypto servers being shut down! I've said for ages that whilst the "how blockchain works" is good to know, blockchain as we currently know it has too many issues resulting in it being worthless as the problems far outweigh the solutions. The only way for blockchain to have value and for crypto to thrive is to decouple it all from the internet, for blockchains to be lightweight and self-pruning and to be designed solely around anonymity.

  82. This ends once Russia is flattened and put in its place or when they surrender and completely return home with their tail between their legs. You can't de-escalate without sacrificing the lives of every Ukrainian and without losing Ukraine - if the latter happens, all of Europe will be bulldozed by Russia and its allies because this has never been about Ukraine, its about expansionism and rebuilding the Tsarist Empire; Russia's allies will get involved the moment Russia defeats Ukraine, with them involved there is no hope. The single biggest threat at the moment are the moronic peace-nicks who think that you can be rational with the nutcase that is Putin/Russia. Learn about the Slavic world and the history of the Baltics, Poland and Hungary. Do NOT let this become another Vietnam where the media and peace-nicks caused the deaths of countless millions of people who were left to be slaughtered by the communists - that blood is on all the peace-nicks, look at how shit Vietnam has been as a communist shit hole - its basically a failed state with basically no economy. The reality, as horrible as it is, is that Russia are always looking for trouble and would have invaded regardless of the excuse/reason given. In the last 600yrs Russia have never wanted peace, they've only wanted war. Countries such as Poland and the Baltics have tried to mind their own business for centuries only to have Russia always start a war and try to take over simply because these countries exist. Look at the interwar period - what happened the moment WW1 ended? The Russian Bolsheviks went on the war path and tried to obliterate Ukraine, Poland and Europe simply for existing. Thankfully they were brutally defeated by Poland in the Polish border region. As for more recent examples, Russia purposely paid their own citizens to move into two parts of Georgia to cause trouble and then claim they're being oppressed to justify invading. The same happened in Crimea. The same happened at the beginning of this current Russian war against Ukraine. What you fail to understand is that Russia have never wanted peace, they only want war and that they only understand superior violence/force. Putin has said many times that he wishes to reclaim all the land that formed both the Soviet Union and the Tsarist Empire and yeah, he's insane enough to try. Not a single country has had any interest in invading Russia or taking anything Russia has. The reality is that Russia was being ignored by the rest of the world, left out of trade, huge reductions in gas sales as the west moves away from gas and Russia couldn't stand being ignored. The solution for them was to start a war, to rape, torture and massacre innocent civilians (none of which you do if you're trying to rescue or maintain peace). Thankfully though the sanctions on Russia are working, most businesses have abandoned Russia, all software companies that could remotely disable their software did just that. Russian's can't bank anywhere outside of Russia and are prohibited from doing business with any "western" country. This is why Russia is cracking the shits and making threats that they simply can't back up. 50 years of corruption, horrible storage conditions and huge lack of quality of training has resulted in Russia being a joke militarily the moment they're up against modern western equipment. The best thing that can happen now is for the west to defeat Russia and end this war now before Russia get their allies fully involved.

  83.  @kellysouter4381  They're doing it through myGov Digital Identity (a parallel system), and yeah its rolling out this year. Need a group certificate for taxes - you need to use this system. Its already mandatory. Have a director ID? They've already got your entire personal information and will force you to give the same info for their digital ID. Nothing to improve or change. They only have to shut down myGov as its the old antiquated system. Everything in myGov already exists in myGov Digital Identity - they just haven't enabled it all yet.

  84. Benefits of an EU Digital Identity... NONE! As an EU citizen I sure as shit won't be having a 'digital identity' - they can go to hell. If they won't provide physical documents / ID's then I'll simply live without them and will continue to carry the expired physical ones. I'd rather live like the honest and ethical Robin Hood than be "bent over and reamed" by tyranny.

  85. Keep believing the lies - Putina will NEVER accept anything less than all of Ukraine because then he can claim that Poland and the Baltics existing will pose an 'existential' threat and thus he'll use that to justify invading them. Remember how Ukraine giving up its nukes would be guaranteed that it wouldn't be invaded. Putina has already declared that she wants to rebuild the Tsarist Empire and thus will continue to invade if allowed to 'win' in Ukraine. If Russia gets the 'win', they'll simply attack the Baltics, Finland and Poland. That's all out WW3. Its better to defeat Russia now whilst they're weak and possible to defeat, preventing WW3, than to let WW3 happen. This is the same as the 1930's when Nazi Germany kept invading, the 'west' told them to stop, Nazi Germany just laughed and continued, resulting in WW2 and a much stronger Nazi Germany that was almost impossible to stop. The only reason Ukraine haven't won already is because the 'west' won't let them use the equipment how they want to - meanwhile Russia is using their equipment how they want to and attacking all of Ukraine indiscriminately. If the 'west' let Ukraine use the provided equipment how they want to, the war would be over in a month.

Also, why do you think they're locking up public land and keeping you in a depressing grey concrete jungle? To stop you resisting their tyranny.

  87. Whilst the WEF might be a private group, they have people everywhere. The Young Global Leaders program trained and indoctrinated people to do their bidding around the world, alumni include many world leaders, rulers and the owners of all the biggest businesses. By controlling/owning those people you control everything. On the Young Global Leaders website there is an alumni directory, ensure that you select the filter that shows all members including those who aren't paid up, filter the list and look through over 100 pages of people they control.

  88. Won't mean anything. Under the current WEF plans, by 2030, all museum vehicles (all collectors vehicles) are required to have the engines removed and destroyed so as to prohibit the illegal use of ICE vehicles. This was covered at the WEF 2021 Dubai meeting. Unfortunately the bastards have thought of everything. Our best hopes for defying the WEF will be to return to riding horses as they are still legally considered vehicles.

  89. There never will be. Any attempt to do so will shut down all business and production. The "elites" have more than enough money to never work again and they only do so to make more money. It would also stop anyone from starting a small business as they'd be hit by the robot taxes as would the robot supplier (if still in business). Don't think for one moment that taxes will only affect one group - look at Australia and New Zealand - taxes affect everyone and rarely the "elites".

  91. It's usually because getting qualified is being made harder every year that passes. I don't know what its like in Canada but in Australia, the hardest part is getting qualified because they don't want people getting qualified, they want people eternally in education and on govt assistance (easier to control and more likely to keep the govt in power). In Australia, one can't simply become a plumber, electrician or welder, they must: * Find a business that'll hire them as an apprentice * Said business must register with the govt's apprenticeship scheme if they aren't already registered (a lot of paperwork, reporting and cost) * Now you can enroll in the appropriate TAFE course * TAFE for 3yrs * Apprenticeship for 4yrs (you must be supervised for absolutely everything you do as otherwise any work you do can't be signed off - so you usually sit around doing nothing) * Sit an interview / exam on quoting the act "word for word", only now, if you pass can you get the licence to work. And they wonder why no one can be bothered getting qualified. The TAFE course should be all that's required as its hands on. Its literally easier to get a degree and work professionally for more money, even if you have to more overseas than it is to "get a trade".

  92. Sorry but you're totally wrong about sailing - there's no market, prices are tanking. Hate to break it to you but unless you're commercially qualified and the vessel is commercially licenced, you can't legally sail internationally. To hold and maintain a commercial qualification and licence you need to be working for someone in the maritime industry (i.e. not self employed) and have to do annual courses and assessments to remain qualified and to renew the licence. The stupid ICC (International Certificate of Competence) that the EU, UN and most countries demand isn't possible to get if you have the 'wrong' nationality, if you're a national of a 'Res. 40' country you need that countries licence but can only get it if living there full time, and now the EU is bringing in a new 'EU-wide' licence that the UN has said will be required globally to sail internationally as a private individual. All this BS because they won't accept licences from non-EU countries unless they're commercial licences. Actual experience, skill and government issued non-commercial licences mean nothing, its all bureaucracy, money and nationality that matter. Sadly the reason they're doing this is to stop people being able to travel internationally as they want you stuck in the country you're already in. I've been trying to get around the whole ICC thing myself (so I can live aboard and sail internationally) but can't and I can't get an ICC due to nationality, even though I have actually learned to sail, have passed multiple assessments beyond whats needed for the ICC. I hold multiple countries marine licences (non-commercial). I have been told that the IPC is only accepted if the person is from the USA, and that the NauticEd SLC isn't accepted if you're an EU national (must have an EU licence).

  93. Even if it would encourage it, it won't happen. Like over the last few years, harsh penalties, people being compliant and others "doing their part" by ratting people out to snitch lines will take care of that. Its already illegal to trade or barter (because the govt don't get to tax the trade or barter) in the entire western world (except remote parts of Alaska), even currently people getting caught trading or bartering do end up in jail. The media just don't cover it.

  94.  @lukyluky864  For the govt it is easy. They have records of transactions in most of the western world, security footage - even if shops won't provide it, the govt has cameras outside all bullion dealers. They also can go door to door. Plus they'll offer huge rewards to those who rat people out. Assuming you can avoid all that, how are you going to use it without being caught out having a "near endless" supply of money whilst others are starving? They'll work out how you're affording the essentials when they aren't permitting you to have them. Outside the USA, its absolutely easy for the state to confiscate anything they want.
    1
  95.  @lukyluky864  What am I wrong about? Outside the USA, rounding up bullion and having the general public rat everyone out is absolutely easy and was proven over the last few years as 99% are compliant sheep who do what the govt tells them to. As I said before, how are you going to survive with spending bullion whilst everyone else is barely surviving - you'll be the only person who's not starving and thus making yourself a target. Sure you could stash away food and rotate it like most preppers but even that still carries the same problem as bullion - you'll stand out from everyone else and thus make yourself a target. I can also tell that you didn't read what I wrote and only put a "default" emotional response because you don't like your safety illusion being questioned or critiqued, because, at no point have I ever been pro-crypto - I fucking hate crypto because it is the problem - it is the CBDC just before the code get forked and turned into CBDC. Why the fuck are you assuming I have crypto? I don't and never will. I ask you again - how are you going to keep your bullion hidden but somehow trade for food without using it? How are you going to avoid not looking starved when everyone else looks like that? How are you going to explain having so much with a near endless source of wealth whilst everyone else has nothing? How are you going to keep your neighbours from ratting you out? Over the last few years, neighbours were ratting people out over the slightest breech of the mandates? If they're starving and think that you aren't, they'll rat you out for an extra food ration.

This is the wall being built (i.e. the Iron Curtain) - get out NOW whilst you still can!

  97. Because their issue isn't with the interview. The reason we are all having "misinformation and disinformation" laws being forced upon us is because they want to have a much easier time controlling the narrative than they did during the plandemic. Simply put, people will speak out and have evidence if they allow ANYONE to show "the other side of the story", by prohibiting that, there's only the fraudulent propaganda they create. That's why they worry - they don't want people getting used to hearing all sides, nor do they want people to expect to hear all sides, nor do they want people to even think about asking questions.

  98. There is only one solution - don't bank in Europe and all affected businesses need to simply ignore this BS and simply report the lowest possible scores for each category. Compliance whether out of fear or not will only make it worse. This BS will end in communism and everyone being completely broke. Sadly the majority of people are nothing but cowards who won't fight this crap. Or simply ever business will become a "micro-enterprise" and thus not affect by this BS; with computers and automation this should be easy to do.

  99. Oceania - living up to the 1984 in more ways than just this. Come to AU & NZ - both are basically communist shitholes and the Australian Government just passed laws that supposedly stop hate (2024 Nazi Militaria & Symbols Ban) but in reality force the descendants of Holocaust survivors to destroy their old family documents, letters, postcards, photos, birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, ID's, etc. all because these documents were stamped by the Nazis in the 1930's through 1945 with stamps that contain the "bad symbols" or because the document is a copy or official statement of what happened to their relative and thus contains "bad symbols". The reason such documents have to be destroyed is because whilst possession is still 100% legal, the documents can never leave the property they're on, they can never be shown to relatives, friends or even consulates, nor can they be scanned and provided to relatives, genealogists or consulates as that would violate the "transport, supply and transmission" ban purely because such things contain the "bad symbols". So say you want to move house, move overseas or when you die (the law doesn't permit inheritance), anyone would be violating the law if they kept or inherited the documents, also if they moved them off the property. This means that the 6 month "estate" period would be all they have to destroy said documents, that is, to destroy history and official legal documents, simply because they were stamped with "bad symbols". Oh, if you think that you'll just sneak such documents out of the country, they've got that covered - if you "conceal" hate material (anything containing the "bad symbols") you'll get an even longer jail sentence (concealment, transport, transport over a national border, etc.). This same law also makes it an offence to share, disseminate, distribute, give, trade, make available for access or to access ANY documents in ANY format that contain the "bad symbols". Want to research what happened to that relative who was sent to a concentration camp - sorry, Australia just outlawed that as should you access ANY document that contains the bad symbols when searching the Yad Vashem database or Arolsen Archive or any online accessible Holocaust document database, you'll be violating the new laws. What this effectively says is the Australian Government want to finish the work the Nazis started under Hitler - to erase anyone that the Nazis considered to be "lesser", by means of forcing people to destroy their own family history simply because they have old family documents because their relatives (grandparents, etc.) survived the Holocaust. The claims by those that support the laws (sadly many secular Jews) and all the far left is that "no one should possess or profit from hate", completely ignoring that many things contain the "bad symbols" but aren't hate material. Oh, the best part - these laws are part of Australia's counter terror laws so any breach results in gigantic jail sentences and being declared a terrorist. The scariest part is this law applies globally, to: * Australian Citizens * Permanent Residents * ALL ALIENS & FOREIGNERS (including foreigners who've never been to Australia). This means anyone anywhere in the world, even if they're not breaking the laws where they are, will be able to be extradited and prosecuted under these Australian laws.

Taxpayers are sick of being robbed of their hard earned money just for it to be given to the bludgers, the illegal immigrants and wasted on stupid unnecessary govt projects or "foreign aid". Australia forgets that this whole "pay your fair share" isn't an endless money pit, that people are sick of it and leaving in droves - why do you think the govt have limited the movement of money out of Australia to $40,000 per year? Because a lot of people are moving from Australia.

  106. If Trump is smart, he'd help Ukraine defeat Russia and then reinforce the Ukrainian border. Make no mistake, if Russia get to 'win', they won't stop, they'll say they will but then start invading the Baltics and/or Poland. The reality which I truly wish all the peace-nicks and Puntina lovers would actually get through their heads is that Russia WILL NOT stop. Its the same as Nazi Germany in the 1930's - idiots told Hitler to stop invading and expanding, he openly lied to them and did it anyway. Russia is 100% the same. If Ukraine's borders aren't restored, Ukraine will fall, then the entire EU will be under invasion. Once again peace-nicks and apathy are actively starting WW3 by once again failing to stop the problem before it becomes too big to just stop.

  113. The problem arises when you have to pay the government and they only permit the payment to come from a bank account. In Australia, taxes, council rates, licences, etc. must all come from a bank account (only licences can be paid with a credit card or from a bank account).

  114. Found the Russian bot. The reality is that if Russia is given the 'win' in Ukraine, Russia will immediately attack the Baltics, Finland and Poland. That's the reality because Russia is rebuilding the Tsarist Empire and because as long as those countries and Ukraine exist, Putina considers them all to be an 'existential' threat to Russia even though those countries have zero care for invading Russia if left alone. Russian promises are jokes - they mean nothing and can always be ignored. Remember when they promised to not attack Ukraine if Ukraine gave up its nukes? This is 1930's Europe all over again except instead of Nazi Germany its now Russia doing the invading and ignoring of others and of promises. The ONLY way that WW3 doesn't fully kick-off is if Russia is defeated in Ukraine and Ukraine's borders restored, along with Georgia's borders being fully restored. The only reason that Ukraine haven't already won is because the 'west' won't let them use the provided equipment how they want to, Russia however are using similar equipment exactly how they want to.

  116. Sounds like the bank is secretly using "sucker scores". Basically because the amount asked for is tiny, the fee's on it are tiny as the person is likely very able to pay it back on time. Also because the person isn't likely to be living in huge debt and forever rolling one debt over to another, the total fees the bank will get from them are tiny. Thus the "sucker score" (a value between 0 and 1) will be close to zero or zero. "Sucker Scores" get used by multiplying them by the individuals credit score. If the result is under a certain threshold or 0 then the bank will reject them. It started in the US, spread to Australia and now is spreading everywhere. The days of responsible people being rewarded for doing the right thing are gone.

  120. Rubbish. Traveling closer together is more dangerous and results in drivers getting more distracted and more crashes. Faster roads move significantly more vehicles with fewer crashes. Also, anyone who's been taught to drive properly knows that when driving slowly you're supposed to leave a 6 second gap to allow to being distracted/boredom-distraction so it makes zero difference. The reason they're lowering speed limits is to make driving dangerous (to justify banning cars) and to increase pollution and congestion to further justify their plans. Also, most engines run better at higher speeds and require less fuel to maintain speed. Slow stop-start traffic uses more fuel that fast flowing traffic.

  121. With AI that's all BS. AI is already replacing people in most jobs. Anything data entry / office related - AI can do it better and faster. Powerful servers and automation eliminated 50% of these jobs, AI is taking the remaining ones. As for creative jobs - no such thing. AI art is already well beyond what any human could do so why would anyone waste money paying a human when an AI can do it for significantly less. As for "pulling the plug" - good luck; Boston Dynamics have humanoid robots that can do most of the complex things humans do so they'll be able to maintain and secure the power they need very soon, if not already. This is not like the industrial revolution where people get machines to assist them, this "Great Reset" as the WEF call it, is 100% about eliminating people as part of their global depopulation agenda in which they want only 500,000,000 globally. "You will own nothing and be happy" - Klaus Schwab This quote is your future - you will either rent everything or if your social credit score is high enough, be permitted to use some things.

No amount of positivity will change anything, only actions will. The future is indeed very bleak, but only because that's the way the WEF and western govts want it to be. The ones who'll disappear first are the ones such as yourself who are all "be positive" because you won't achieve anything as positivity doesn't achieve anything.

The system treats everyone as an inexperienced moron with zero way to prove you actually have the skills and be fast tracked - Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) was supposed to let you demonstrate your skills under direct supervision and get qualified quickly, however it turned into "we'll only accept the same unit code from another course or institution". Experience and ability counts for nothing anymore.

  129. But its not just wages - many of us are sick to death of always having to jump through new hoops, "refresher" courses, new courses, redo work experience because its never "enough", just to do what we're qualified in. I for one am over it all. Many of these illegal immigrants are happy to work for nothing and to break the laws because they're criminals - they rock up to the country illegally, are 99% of the time violent and think they're entitled to everything and that they matter more than locals. How many of us who were born in the west are criminals? Very few because we were taught to always "be good, don't break the law", etc. This is why so many waste their time, their weekends and their money that would otherwise be savings, just to hoop jump and forever do these stupid pointless courses and "refresher" training that the regime made mandatory, just to stay in work. Its honestly not worth it anymore, yet they wonder why we refuse to work for peanuts.
