In west aus at least professionals are getting paid way above the award. My consultancy is paying about 25% over the award to attract good candidates.

Truck drivers hauling grain are earning $50 an hour plus super, where that was $30 an hour in 2019.

These numbers aren’t “stagnant wages”.

We’re so far beyond this type of thing being relevant.

I don’t think even an avid Trump supporter would genuinely think that he doesn’t lie all the time.

He just says whatever he wants.

edit: ok I watched the video. He’s not lying. He really believes the letters and numbers are tattoos.

Fair enough. That is a larger portion than I had realised. During the campaign I def thought that any Trump voter who wasn’t a wealthy white male was voting against their interests.

Is this really a leopards at my face thing?

I’m aware that some Latinos voted for Trump, but surely that wasn’t “most” of them.

Yeah it’s subsidised for residents.

I think bachelor units are like $2,000 AUD each which is about 1.5 weeks full time average wage. 24 units in a bachelor.

Closer to $10k each for foreigners.

I very much doubt that.

There’s blood in the water. Trump would be pretty desperate for this to go his way.

Not sure if you’re talking about Australia or Canada but while it’s easy enough to get a study visa for Australia the cost of studying here would preclude that option for most people.

Oh man.

What did this idiot give Bezos I wonder?

He’s the worst negotiator in the history of US presidents.

I’m … not quite sure about that.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks and I find it difficult to get engaged with those from American presenters or narrators. I’m certainly not alone in that either.
