It exists because fools pay money to it, that's how & why it works

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

I'm really starting to believe there's no way Trump's reign of terror, greed, and corruption ends without revolution or a combo of nature and luck.
Diplomacy and legal options to fight this fascist regime are growing weaker with each passing day.

Not the lessons that you might hope for
Not for the first time, heads have rolled at the BBC following a puffed-up scandal pushed by the UK's Tory press. Will the ABC learn the lessons of its British compatriot?
Bending over backwards for the right isn’t saving the BBC. It won’t save the ABC either

We call it a duopoly, it is in all reality one party government
That is the point of it
The Duopoly only has two parts when viewed from the inside, by the time it affects the Australian people it is Monopoly
Has been since 1983

Why do we quote actors speaking of politicians?
Is it that through speaking other people's lines convincingly they gain some kind of insight into politician's words & worlds?

Since the ceasefire began on 11Oct25, Israel has launched 125 attacks on Gaza, killing 211 people (mostly women and children). After each attack, Israel announces it is "resuming the ceasefire". Western news media says very little. 😠 #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide

My personal thoughts of the US is that they will descend, one ignorant totally avoidable tragedy after another, into an utterly disorganised dystopia, Mad Max rather than Handmaid's Tale or 1984

Sources say Robbie Gibb amplified criticisms of Trump, Gaza and trans rights coverage, and had ‘a lot of oxygen in the room’

‘Make no mistake – this was a coup’: the extraordinary downfall of the BBC’s top bosses
A BBC board member with links to the Conservative party “led the charge” in pressuring the corporation’s leadership over claims of systemic bias in coverage of Donald Trump, Gaza and transgender rights, the Guardian has been told.
Sources said Robbie Gibb, Theresa May’s former communications chief who was appointed to the BBC’s board during Boris Johnson’s time as prime minister, amplified the criticisms in key board meetings that preceded the shock resignation of the director general, Tim Davie, and the head of BBC News, Deborah Turness.
