Regarding tidal and wave energy, people complain about solar and windmill lifespan and end of life waste. Sea based structures are obviously an order of magnitude worse than that in both regards - it's an extremely harsh environment. Just getting in there to maintain the thing would be a nightmare. ...

Sense I got is that he's a master manipulator of people who can show them what they want to see but also keep his true motivations hidden.

Spot on. A vertiable Machiavellian psycopath. I dare say he's got Trump over a barrel too.

An unpaid caterers’ bill was the reason tickets are still not on sale for the Melbourne Rebels’ season opener against the Brumbies on Friday. Rugby Australia urgently worked out a renewed agreement with the AAMI Park caterers, who have not been paid in a year with the Rebels in a dire financial sit...

Capitalism in its current unsustainable incarnation be damned.

There is no meritocracy that can exist and thrive when people are paid to do nothing in their sleep. And democracy rests on at least a semblance of meritocracy.

Since taking over, RA has to renegotiate the hiring of AAMI Park for the Rebels to be able to play there... Apparently they're aiming for tickets to go on sale later today.

It's like people in here can't read. Where did I propose to stop mortgages and make people pay cash for assets? I'll say it again for the 3rd time.

In fact, if you really want to help solve the housing crisis you'd prevent or seriously hamper the ability of banks to lend against housing. You want housing priced in terms of real economic activity, not other houses. Wtaf is this utter shit ?! :lol: You’d stop the whole concept of mortgages and o...

Constraining what asset classes people can invest in or borrow money for is restricting the right of people to deploy their capital for productive purposes. I didn't propose either of those.

Equity funded is worse. When housing equity is used as collateral to create more debt subsequently plowed back into existing housing and so on and so forth, debt is being created with no associated increase in economic activity. The debt is cancerous. The price of housing detaches from the actual ec...

You’ve no idea what work a landlord did or does to secure the investment capital. True, but most of that investment capital comes from the bank bimbo. You just have to have enough to get the loan. So how do you “just get enough” to get that loan? Most would do it through hard work and sacrifice, un...

All landlords just have this asset fall in their lap with no work? No one said they did no work. But the renter's doing more work to secure them that asset than the landlord is.

the point is, despite the fact that the renter is paying off the landlords asset and even if the landlord is making a loss each week (a) he can claim the loss against his income (in australia) (b) he'll still pick up the asset after 20-30 years for cents in the dollar, the renter having paid off mo...

It boils down to the middle and upper income classes being taxed in an attempt to compensate for increasing inequality, substituting government spending for money that the lower and middle classes would have historically earnt and spent themselves.

Always the 80s interest rates chestnut...over and over it is trotted out.....

It's elementary mathematics that one is better off buying a house with high followed by decreasing (variable or reneogtiated) interest rates compared to the inverse. I'm not even going to bother to explain it.
