Australia closing bit by bit for anyone interested.. still refuse to shut us down completely. Yes we are just as confused as most would be reading this🙄 They didn't give us new figures with the update except that the positive covid19 numbers are rising fast. I expect new numbers tomorrow.
Maybe Aus is struck harder than Sweden, but we have pretty much the same restrictions....0 -
Tens of thousands of Volvo workers have been laid off, and the state goes in with compensation for missing wages. At the same time, AB Volvo plans to pay dividends in the billion class.- This is what the system looks like, says press manager Claes Eliasson.

But is it reasonable that AB Volvo pays almost ten billion to the shareholders, while you receive 300 million from the state a month for employees' severance pay?- I cannot review the reasonableness of the Board's proposal. On the eighth of April, the AGM will vote on the proposal, we will come back when we know the result, says Eliasson.Annelie Karlsson, Social Democrats' group leader in Parliament, is critical of Volvo's actions:- I thank you for the greed and selfishness that this proposal demonstrates. As obvious as it is that we all, through the state, help companies and employees in this global crisis, just as obviously, all citizens and businesses take responsibility and use the support as needed instead of abusing it. The latter also includes shareholders, she says."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0

If for some reason Bernie were to actually win the nomination, most Biden supporters would support Bernie. Because while Bernie is clearly the lesser Democratic candidate, he is still better than Trump.
Bernie supporters have been indoctrined to support Bernie or no one at all. Who does that benefit?0 -
Some of these may not make sense to people overseas but there are the numbers from yesterday in Aus. Our Government and opposition are working together on this.

It’s also amazing what you can afford when you tax your citizens an astonishing 65%.That didn’t seem right, but saw it posted in several sites.
and if they pay 75% of their salary, then tax them 65%, they really are paying less than half.If we were to look at a larger blue state like the one I live in, that tend to provide services to its residents, when you add up all taxes, income fedl state local, fica, property and sales taxes, excise taxes and on... the effective rate is probably close to 50%.
now let’s add on the cost of college and healthcare, you are probably right at that European rate of 65%
but Euros don’t have to worry about bankruptcy issues to the extent we do in the states caused by healthcare or excessive college costs. Plus they don’t have slow as crap trains and pot holed roads because their 65% covers infrastructure modernization.0 -

Her “diagnosis”.When it was being used to push the right’s agenda, it was immediately dismissed. This should be just as swiftly dismissed.Post edited by DewieCox on0
