Watching America fuck around and find out with a front row seat to the oligarchy shit show
Your analysis assumes at least a stable of not increasing consumption by the market. This just isn't what the long-term macroeconomic trends are showing.

Chasing cheap customers is where companies win market share and volume and says nothing of brand value (eg Nike). The H2D has achieved neither.

I will say I found the lack of direct references to the denials of due process or the victims from the earlier speakers disappointing. Plenty of oblique references to authoritarianism but no specifics.

Do you have data on the efficacy of various outreach methods in Australian elections? Or are we just rolling with the vibe of what we think works? Have you done it yourself and at least have anecdotal experiences to speak to this?

Right there with you, still have a 2.4 that's 90% done and haven't found time to get back to it 😕

This is true but if you have a specific hobby or use case you can get above the slop and find content speaking to your focus.

If you have nothing specific to do with the printer then of course the Internet will take the path of least resistance to catch an impression.

If the time, effort and technical requirements are not a deal breaker then yes.

Nah, you still have a profile in all those social media accounts, cookies, etc that are enough for ads to target you. There's a certain baseline level of data you cannot avoid giving up one way or another when in certain online spaces.

Why would you spend money sending ads to people who are likely to vote in your direction? Particularly in a country with mandatory voting so you don't have to motivate people to turn out in the first place.

Just a quick question - has Australia abused its regional power to effect a brutal domestic policy against marginalized non-citizens? Nauru and Manus Island don't ring any bells?

I suggest leaving Harris out of these analyses or you'll have people tearing her and the Biden campaign to pieces for offering more of the same in the face of all these looming and obvious threats. It's just a losing argument to defend a losing campaign, even obliquely.

When they stop getting a call 20 minutes before announcements are made.

You also accurately described a substantial portion of "legitimate" capital. The regulation is just a veneer for the rich.

Agreed, creates disrupted workflows.

The top 10% - that's the only portion of US society which was increasing their consumer spending. Not entirely sure if the trend will continue though because we're all conscripted in the trade wars.
