I duno why OP is quoting an article of an article but here is the actual article: https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/ryc11nok4ee

The Australian Financial Review has reported that the former prime minister has privately blasted as “unconscionable” the Albanese government’s decision to not adjust the threshold each year in line with inflation or wages growth.
Yes
And while other tax policy experts have said while indexation is common, they believe it is virtually impossible that the threshold will not be adjusted over the coming years and decades.
Also yes
feel like this is preaching to the cloud posting this here
I wish some people around here had half the experience you do
adjusted for people who cannot see the difference between free market wage labour in a western economy and literal slavery
it’s hard for people so used to the comforts of capitalism to realise this is actually luxury
being inside, seated comfortably, doing non-manual work, educated, can read, listening to music, this is a job better than 99% of people who have ever lived have had
Slaves who existed before capitalism was even imagined would dream of this WaSTeD LiFe 🤪
a heat pump? an aircon? an antenna? 😖
I agree and disagree
I noticed you missed this first bit 😜
The report argues for increased use of electric vehicles
So looking at the report specifically for the bit I want to see and ignoring everything else:
Electric vehicles powered by low-emissions electricity offer the largest decarbonisation potential for land-based transport, on a life cycle basis (high confidence)

I agree with you that it would be nice for places to be more cycle friendly, mainly because:
Roads: $146.8 million
Shits expensive, I would love for them to put $146 million towards public transport, mainly trains that run faster than every 30 minutes and don't take a damn hour to get to the city compared to 25 minutes by car and loads more non-road sharing bike lanes/tracks etc
But while Jay mentioned about having great cycling infrastructure in Steeeeeeeeevenage he flicks back to London with the point

But that still left me thinking, who cares if you're in Stevenage, if everywhere has cars and there's no traffic? What's the issue? If cars are powered by renewables so what
That's the one!
Bloomberg spent nearly $1 billion on his three-month presidential campaign
So my next question is:
Just 158 families have provided nearly half of the early money for efforts to capture the White House
Just how effective is advertising in the presidential race when you can spend a billion and go no where?
