Probably a large reason inflation is so high too, putting prices up “because inflation” and pulling record profits
This is happening in Australia, a country almost universally controlled by the ‘left wing’ Labor party on both federal and state levels. The sooner you realize that literally no politician gives a shit about their people, the sooner we can move on from this bullshit left vs. right shitshow and start directing our anger at those responsible for the state of the world (hint; it’s every politician with any amount of power and any large enough corporation. The cunts are all best mates, left wing or right wing.)
Never forget who the real enemy is. We’re playing so fucking effectively into their little game, and they know it. If only we did.
