That's a nice lava lamp.

John, I thought the idea was not to impact upon the town. I'm pretty sure the locals are not complaining about selling $9 coke bottles and $45 steaks to cashed up miners. If you can't see a way to benefit from that situation it is your own fault.


what about the local supermarket chick, who now has to pay $9 for a bottle of coke or $7 for water? her rent has gone up from $200 per week to $1500 .... how does she survive? that is one example. .. there would be thousands ... the busness owners may do alright out of it, but anyone on a fixed wage will suffer for it.


If she works in a supermarket, it should not be that hard for her to figure out where she could get a coke for under $9 from. If you can't see a way to benefit from that situation it is your own fault. Anyone working for minimum wage in a town with a massive mining boom happening has rocks in their head. Some of the larger boom towns have to get fly in fly out managers for the local maccas. More than half the town would be raking it in. The rest are just lazy whingers or people who don't actually live in these towns but want to whinge on anyone's behalf. Even fruit towns have trouble getting pickers in these days.


So how are you saying she should do it? Steal it? Drive 200 km to buy it?

SOB


I would suggest thinking about it spot.


Why do you never ever answer any questions?
