So i just just discovered these communities tonight, but these seem unique and awesome!
Sometimes means testing can become more expensive and time consuming than just getting the benefit out the door to everyone.
Plus its less popular because you inevitably have the murdoch-whingers crying about the less wealthy being undeserving by dint of their lack of wealth, and also people complaining over edge cases that miss out.
Glad you've put a little more meat on the bone. Taxes are so much more complicated in every country than memes like this ever capture. Second point is totally true, but who wants well maintained roads and hospitals?
I heard on the radio they hadn't kept the receipts. Theres an accountant at channel 7 with a growing migraine trying to locate which dealer supplied, which coke, on which night. The outgoings column is a coked up mess!
I'm glad you've said this. For a harmonious society situations like this have to be treated reasonably equally.
But its such a silly thing to do for such a high profile personality like Kerr. Tje bastards will have a field day! If she actually said it of course, because she has registered her innocence, indicating she disagrees quite sharply with the cops interpretation of events.
Thats what Frodo said to Gaffer when he asked where he was going, "oh, just upshire."
He didn't trick old Proudfeet though, he knew Frodo was weavin porkies.

This concocted nuclear energy debate, being pushed by the industry, is such a powerful reminder that while attitudes in aggregate can change across generations, the same propaganda previous generations fell for, future ones will also fall for.
This is analogous to 'clean coal'. The whole campaign rests on these technical truths that are cynically used to make sweeping generalisations about an industry in order to shape the good faith arguments and policy recommendations against the industry as radical and over-reaching to the casual observer.
This is why i like Lemmy, and less centralised, but robust, power structures in general. Right wingers can be on here, i'm sure theres a few somewhere. But their unsubstantiated claims aren't going to be coddled by a friendly platform or news outlet.
Blessed is the mind too small for doubt!
Alright, alright! I'll let you borrow my emu for the week.
I would like to drive around in one of these please.. in the front or back, i dont mind!
Sometimes i find people will also use it as a 'discussion shut down' when they don't want to get pulled into a larger conversation about politics.
They have their reasons, like knowing they have little knowledge on the subject, or knowing the person they're talking to and not wishing to engage with them too heavily (i may be guilty of employing this tactic at times).
