Haha, yeah, 'cure for cancer' lol

Thanks for reading the link :) if you're interested, I'd recommend some of the South American reporting / analysis. The Anglo reporting unsurprisingly don't cover it in detail. These things are always on long timescales, but the approach is really cool.

    I think I may have been cleared because I sent them the precursor to a consumer protections complaint because they wouldn't refund a glitchy game. The account is not that old.

    Agreed, still off topic. This really was meant to be a global economics piece, not a politics piece.

    Obviously I think more needs to be done on housing - end capt. gains discount for property, neg. gearing. But agreed.

    What do you is going to happen when the Americans wake up? I think both of us are going to get some replies.

    I might delete my comments. This was off topic

    Edit: My off topic comments have been removed.

    They were off topic and not conducive to the conversation. I regret getting off topic.

    Notifying you they have changed since your response.

    Is the change in unequal exchange more impactful than Capital accumulation, etc. - I'd like to know. Either way, cost of living is not improving.

    I am interested in critical response on whether the increase in productivity will balance out the equalisation of exchange.

    But my, unsubstantiated, view is equalisation of trade will increase cost of living even with productivity considered.

    I am referring to unequal trade, - us getting more in return from the Global South (Asia, south america, Africa, etc.) for what we're giving them.

    This is true for our trade with China, but I am specifically speaking generally.

    "China’s exchange ratio with the Global North has improved over time. During the 1990s, the exchange ratio was on average 34 to 1. In other words, for every unit of embodied labour, materials, land and energy that China imported from the Global North, they had to export 34 units to pay for it. As of 2015, the ratio had declined to 4 to 1." https://progressive.international/wire/2025-04-18-china-unequal-exchange-and-the-present-world-historic-juncture/en

    Does that answer your question?

    The deputy commissioner did not issue a compliance notice because of the remedial steps taken by the UoM during the investigation, including developing a new surveillance policy and amending its terms of use and associated policies.

    No consequences for their wrongdoing. They can just retroactively state they track you now.

    The article is very clear on the timeline.

    Funnelled is correct, these contracts are not easy to get access to.

    I would also be interested in a further breakdown of contracts and time frames. I suggest Defence release this information.

    As stated further down, the genocide has been going on for many decades. Australia is complicit.

    Neoliberalism is reaching its natural conclusion, coupled with the gradual fall of colonialism, is going to lead to a permanent crash for the working class.

    While Trump is being loud, the project to divide the US working class by ethnicity has been ongoing always, and began ramping up this century.

    It will be required as all production is centralised within a handful of families. And the global south can no longer be relied on for cheap resources and manufacturing for middle class treats.

    The US doesn't have a union presence, nor does it have understanding of left politics. Conditions will get worse and worse every decade.

    There's also the insinuation China would interfere with our trade in the region.

    Based on what? Nothing.

    Oh, unless we do blindly follow the US into another war and cut ourselves off to half our shipping lanes and trade partners.

    The media is a joke. Fucking CIA bullshit
