Here in Melbourne Australia, plastic bags are illegal. Same with plastic cutlery, plastic cups, straws etc, and Ive not heard any significant whinging.
Any country that hasn’t done it yet needs an authoritarian left wing government to storm in and force their gormless populace to grow up and take responsibility.
I bought an electric motorbike to use instead of a car, my right wing dad bummed me out when he said australia is 70% powered by fossil fuels.
I caught covid at PAX last weekend, but I couldn’t figure out how to report it. Even if the populace has stopped caring about covid, you’d think the government would still be putting in some effort.
What’s the purpose of having the three monkeys that basically all say the same thing?
Like, from a rhetoric standpoint?
Renters have to pay for their own water. I’ve lived in rentals for 15 years, and never saw a landlord do “upgrades” on my house. Didn’t stop them from upping the prices every opportunity they could. I’ll give you rates and repairs, although if landlords hadn’t scalped all the properties I’m sure people could afford to shop around to buy a better built property.
But who’s fault is that? That’s right, the investors/landlords who scalped all the houses, making supply scarce and causing prices to increase.
Owning more than two (and I’d argue more than one) properties should be illegal.
Homie still thinkin bout his ex 😬
Saved you a click (or embarrassment of not knowing what one looks like from the thumbnail)
It’s the tardigrade.
Good point, corrected.
What’s not in their jeans is probably in their genes.
We keep up with the mortgage because the minimum wage here is $16USD.
The average Australian citizen pays $17,000 in taxes as opposed to $14,000 for seppos.
For that, I know myself and all my fellow Australians will never be crippled with medical debt, as going to the hospital is always free. We have the second best health care in the world, right next to the UK.
Us Aussies like to look out for each other, rather than you individualistic, seemingly selfish yanks.
I’m more privy to “_fireFox” when declaring my browser.
PNW?
Damn, $3.50USD gets you a flat white/cappuccino/latte here, I don’t know if you’d find pour over coffee. And people here are upset at THAT cost, with home espresso machines taking off accordingly. I’m surprised Americans drink so much coffee at that price.
Wait what’s the joke
$5USD for a coffee, is that normal? Is that inclusive of a tip? Here in Australia Id leave the register if they tried charging me more than $3USD, and we don’t have a tipping culture (thank god).
I dunno, I’m kinda of two minds. On one hand, it’s definitely good to know the breadth of the LGBT+ community, for further policy decisions and what have you - ALL info is good info.
On the other hand, what business does the government have knowing what I do in the privacy of my bedroom? Aside from the legal aspects of sexuality which I believe are fairly equal now (marriage laws, adoption laws etc), why do they wanna know who I’m blasting nuts into?
Gross vibes on this one
