Just... go!

Yep and many kids these days think the world owes them. They don't take responsibility for their own actions and expect others to do things for them. All part of Labor and the Unions' "gimme, gimme" culture.

How about the government take responsibility.

The under 30's didn't sell their jobs to foreign entities.

That 'living with the parents' statement doesn't make sense. There's few job vacancies in regional or country Australia. Young people must move to the cities if they want any hope of finding work. What would you have them do? Sit at home out in the sticks forever?

To be fair, Labor is even blocking savings measures they had intended to introduce if they won office. Yeah, you got nothing.

Thank heavens for the good people in the senate.

These 'progressives' you cite are in fact those governments themselves who accepted that there is a social benefit and a social responsibility involved in ensuring that those who cannot profit from the 'prosperity' (LMAO) of the country should receive a minimum sustenance allowance.

The social benefits are too numerous to outline over and over again .

How this can be perverted into some kind of neologistic 'progressive' ideology thinking is beyond me.

Back to school.

No - I'm expecting to be a 70 year old who is 'surplus to requirements' and who will be turned out to live under the bridge....

I'm currently re-reading 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee' - a book that contains many parallels for the current rape of the West.  Like most of the Plains and Rockies Indians, we had no truck with the global economy and it often blatant abuse of people for grabbing our gold and land, we had no argument with it and often operated in peace with them, allowing them their own free passage over our land..... now they are moving us onto reservations of poverty, lack of opportunity, and hopelessness for no reason other than that we stand in their way (see Android** Hicks and his rabid views - truly an Android there).  Very similar.

I recall that shale oil was deemed uneconomical to get out - same with this fracked rubbish... now these are becoming the mainstays of economic drivers..... and we pay for it even if it is taken from our land... like the Indians we have no choice but to give up our land and its wealth and then we receive back what pitiful rations this new government will allow us.

In my studies of terrorism etc and regional issues - it became plain that such concepts as the Asian-Pacific Region was not, in fact, a discrete physical entity, but was, rather, an amorphous and boundary-less essential state-in-being via trade and cross-cultural connections etc.  This is the same as the Islamic State, and in the same ways, poses the same threats to national sovereignty and the well-being of the people of nations.  One primary reason the Islamic State is opposed by many Muslim nations is the simple fact that it adheres to no national boundaries and borders - the same applies to trading regions, and by extension, to the 'global economy'.

Thus a 'global economy' unconstrained by any government and answerable only to itself is as much a danger to stability and security in the West as is the Islamic State to Islamic countries.  The differences are that the GE does not impose by physical force, intimidation and violence (you may argue that at leisure), and we do not oppose it in the same way as states oppose Islamic State.

"OK.. there was an.. artificial person malfunction on Ripley's last trip out, and.. some deaths were involved."

"That's putting it mildly!"

"I'm shocked!  Was it a Cyberdyne Systems Series 101?  The 101's always were a little twitchy!"

"I don't give  a damn, Bishop!  Just stay away from me!"
