The Policy Guy

Damn near impossible to get vehicle restos done now - some of the best in Vic are booked solid 3 years out. the impending recession will likely clear the order books out. I don't know my old Holdens. My oldest was an HQ monaro coupe with a 350. A mate was only 19 when he poured all his bucks into an SLR5000 and dropped a COME racing 355 into it. Madness back then. Slower than a Polestar now.

Let me make this so clear to you that it smacks you in the face. As cognitive impairment with respect to AI + Data Centres has affected all points of the voting spectrum. OBSERVATION: You wanted to shut down the exploitation of coal and gas in western economies for some frivolous ideological pursuit to 'save the environment' YET you've been inexplicably silent in accepting that Chinese and Indian use of these fossil fuels has surged by multiples of whatever pointless reduction western economies made NOW you want to shut down all data centre development and kneecap the development of artificial intelligence, whilst idiotically parroting 'national security and sovereign capability' SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL DO IN CHINA? Has anybody noticed that climate change, transgenderism or the progression of AI are NEVER talking points in India or China? What idiot hobbles their own future, and makes themselves totally vulnerable to external forces? That'd be you. YET YOU'LL STILL BUY CHINESE CARS, CHINESE ELECTRONICS, CHINESE SOLAR BATTERIES, PHONES, ROUTERS every single component of the digital ecosystem you wrap yourself in (whilst X-posting about the perils of AI) - is a new threat vector which YOU WILLINGLY EXPOSE YOURSELF TO. Your solution starts with getting every ounce of energy out of the ground (we have tens of thousands of years worth BTW) Building data centres and AI centres of excellence Fortifying STEM learning in our younger generations Fostering inquisitiveness in our children Or perhaps just sit back and bitch about data centres whilst your robovac and coffee machine monitor your conversations NB - overly woke image for deliberate 'appeal'

Is there a statute of limitations here? I'm cool with a 3 strikes and out policy for some halfwit who can't enjoy a ham and pineapple pizza. But is 4 years somewhat onerous? Deport!

I'm moving to Paraguay

Hey....yeah i prefaced the comment with 'technical' recession. I do get your point however, which is sustained falls in per capita economic activity

The desperate scramble to be the preeminent imbecile has begun

Gutwrenching. Shreds me every time i remember little Matilda. Never forget

Clearly the CCP and Albanese have shared DNA. They'll bend any truth....just press on with the lie

The knock on effects from the DJ's VA will be worse than i first thought. At best, they'll shutter two thirds of all stores and hunker down on the flagships. This means thousands of retail workers now looking for work. Generating no income tax, and drawing down on welfare. Local suppliers now with less opportunities for revenue, and needing to reclaim large amounts of stock. Commercial real estate will see falling demand, occupancy rates and revenue. This is your proverbial stone in a pond....the ripple effect will just grow larger and larger. Now is PRECISELY the time to shut down worker streams of our migration program

In times like these, there is a propensity to draw illogical conclusions. For instance, not everything the Trump WH did was on the nose. But clearly, much of what it did was displeasing. There are lessons which should be observed by right wing parties if they seriously wish to vie for elections. 1. Well managed immigration is fine. As is a patriotic stance. But wars and poorly managed international affairs are not. 2. You can go hard on DEI and transgenderism....but meddling with abortion laws is problematic. It's a matter of whether political parties can practice expediency

This makes for an interesting and frustrating read....

The single most important question for the upcoming Vic election is this.... Will the LNP adopt all functions and features of the One Nation 'transparency app' unveiled by Pauline earlier this week. I will do a detailed write up on this tomorrow. But trust me when i say, if properly implemented, this will save tens of billions in government waste. Many tens of You must all harangue @DHughesy until he confirms this. ONV or LNP, if that app sees the light of day, your lives will improve. Unless you're a grifter

Why has nobody realised this? THE MARKET PRICE FOR DATA CENTRES JUST WENT UP. Data centres are our key to unleashing productivity, and unlocking huge economic benefit. With the US midterm results now in, data centres will be as popular as the plague. In other words, US companies will pay MORE to set up DC capability here. Get that energy out of the ground. Get those centres built. Get AI capability stood up. We'll thrive for decades if we do this now.
