Hahaha the Financial Times disallowing comments because it knows in everyone fucking hates financiers and their complicity in every shitty thing that is happening right now.
Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathy Ruemmler sought Jeffrey Epstein’s help to secure a top job at Facebook just months before the sex offender’s arrest, and advised him on how to respond to press coverage of his crimes. ft.trib.al/P3CyJeg

Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing - during the last election the former Liberal MP (in my seat) Jason Falinski fronted what he called a grassroots movement to attack Teal MPs who advocate climate action - turns out it was entirely funded by the Coal Industry.

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

The only winners out of today’s interest rate increase are the big banks.
And they don’t need the win. They’re already making 200k profit off the average mortgage!
This government is choosing to let ordinary people cop the pain, while corporate profits soar.

Part of the problem of religion in politics is that practicing religious folk believe god is all powerful and controls everything, therefore if they ascend to high office it must have been God’s will that they lead.
When you replace facts with faith, disaster is inevitable.
