This must have been the top candidate for 🏆 “Dummest idea of the Day!”
Grocery prices are out of control. Since 2019, they’ve risen by 31% 🛒📈 Meanwhile, this year Coles & Woolworths pocketed a record $2.23 billion - in just six months! The Vic Greens will take 30% off your essential groceries by introducing publicly-owned, local supermarkets.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Coles and Woolworths supermarket profits have risen mostly because of larger sales volumes, not because they've dramatically widened margins. Their reported EBIT margins have remained within a relatively tight band around 4-5% over recent years. finbox.com/ASX:COL/explor…

Is this meant to be rage bait?
Super has been an unmitigated disaster. Workers have 12% of their wages stolen for 50 yrs & only given back when they need it least. Unions & Bankers feast, charging $15bn pa in fees. The Elites feast, $65bn pa in tax concessions. Pension costs keep rising.

2.5m per employee. Congratulations indeed for those 1000 workers. Rest of Australia: Commiserations 😔
Tomago, we've got your back. Massive congratulations to the thousands of families who can rest a little easier knowing their future is more secure and to the @AWUnion, @theamwu and @ETU_national who fought so hard to make this happen.

17.2 million for managing an event is not a bad payday
Australia will spend $150 million funding a pre-COP climate summit in Fiji in October, including $17.2 million for event management and $2 million for broadcasting services, because host country Fiji cannot afford it.

WFH a hard earned right? Ellen Sandell proves yet again the severe disconnect of pollies with reality.
The new Premier has barely moved into his new office and he’s already crumbling to big business and their tantrums. Workers were weeks away from finally getting these hard-earned rights. Then the corporate lobby came knocking and the new Labor Premier rolled over.

Perhaps because people can’t find employment? 🧐
BREAKING: New numbers show that more businesses were created in July than in any other month on record.

Hey US? If you thought Kennedy was “special”, meet. 👇
Replying to @TheKouk
Fun Fact: GDP is a misleading indicator. If I pay someone $50 to dig a hole and someone else $50 to fill that hole in GDP will be $100. In Accounting terms that would be called a loss of $100. There’s a reason why most companies don’t employ economists. It’s because they’re useless and a liability rather than an asset. Economists are the climate scientists of the finance world. They rely on flawed models rather than real numbers. The sooner they are ignored the better.

Mbappe displays more class in a single post than this “lady” has in her entire being.
Madame Celeste Amarilla, Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction. Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays. Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
