Also politics is something i used to care about and follow really intensely when i was in hs and early uni but honestly i don't know if its the same for other countries but australian politics is basically all the same with both labour/liberal being slighting left wing ideals

Like policies and stances are mostly media dictated and everything they teach you at college is how bad the media is and how much it messes with people who actually want to improve things (in terms of law/finance)


Its the same

You're economy is quite strong if I recall correctly. I was told by my mate who lived there that an average pint was equivalent of £7-8 which is insane but a reflection of how well you guys are paid.

they do that income thing in australia and it works really well since u don't have to pay a single cent until you earn something really decent like 60 000$ a year and its 5%

If people didn't get so irrationally upset about Jew 1 beating Jew 2 and the modicum of difference it really makes to people not at uni or in poverty it wouldnt be worth caring, but as it stands this election has turned out pretty well from a comedic standpoint

Kerry says

i mean, it's 9% of your income @ £22k+ but yeah


Yes regarding the 9% at £22+ I am essentially in a £20k job yet pay rises entail more work load and extra hours for essentially the same income.
