I’m about to finish up my time in the fields, and wanted everyone to know that we (farmworkers) are paid $7 for two gallons of blueberries. How much do you pay for your blueberries?

Yesterday I tweeted that Morrison should not be hammered for taking a break with his kids. Then he goes and does something totally, grossly, fuckwittedly stupid like this. They’ll love this in Victoria. NOT. Imagine how the Murdochracy would go feral if this was Dan Andrews.

Let’s see if I have this right. To get the government’s “homebuilder” grant of $25,000 you must be: Earning $125,000 or less (before tax) Or $200k for families Planning a reno worth more than $125,000, ie way, way over your annual pay packet. This policy is useless.

My neighborhood, burning. Median income $33k. Many have no transit. Our pharmacies, banks, gas stations, restaurants are destroyed. The six closest grocery stores are looted. Our post office is on fire. The nearest gas station is on fire. No response from our city or state.
