😂😂 one would think that the poor poor prince would buckle under the almighty pressure of having two family members unwell, his caring duties would be enormous. 🙄
Real people have to struggle with bills and work, and life.
Not just being a billionaire and having world class medical treatment not available to anyone else.

Merry Xmas to all the workers who give up their own family and friend time today, but especially those in the aged care and disability sector who often provide the family experiences for others.
You are undervalued champions.
May you and those you support have the best day possible.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

In fact it is a perfect case of how “something is always better than nothing” is bollocks.
The NACC has just made everyone feel a lot safer, and made the efforts to get a real anti-corruption body harder.
It’s like a corruption offset scheme.
