Trying to find some joy because I'm responsible for protecting it in others, but I will never get over seeing what I have seen on my screens this year. Watching a genocide in real time colours everything I do and see. I don't know what 'normal' is anymore, but it's not this.

Chatting to an Aust journo 2 days ago who told me how much she's enjoying BlueSky and would love to follow people back, but she's very wary of so many people without bios or some sort of post history, avi pic or indication of who they are.

If you'd like to be followed back here, it does help.

Excl the pandemic, the last time Australia's economy grew slower than 0.8% was.... during the 1990s recession.

If you still that is a sign of excess demand then it might be time to stop pretending you are an economist and admit you really are just a ghoul who wants more people unemployed.
