Depending on the US for anything is bad policy these days. I'd love to see the entire rest of the world collectively exclude them from the global economy. But of course the oligarchs won't allow that.

Breaking with the US will be painful for Australia in many ways – but it’s inevitable | John Quiggin
It's a very pretty confirmation of how fucked I already knew I am.

3 times as fast as 100? I don't know what you're expecting here. It's 83.3 metres per second, if that helps. Your friend must have a nice car, there's not many that can go that fast, and even fewer that can do it and still handle predictably.
Australia says it would prefer to work through a dispute settlement process
Fuck that. You can't negotiate with an unhinged imbecile who changes his mind depending on who was the last person who spoke to him. Every world leader who bows down to trump just makes him worse.
Believe me I will. But I'll put a socialist, green, or certain independent candidate first.
I wish that we had so few problems I could vote on this single issue, but stopping any Australian version of maga needs to be priority number 1, and then about 50 other things before legal weed. Honestly, it's not hard or expensive to get a prescription, you can do it all over the phone.
It's shocking how many maga wannabes we have in this country. If you're thinking of voting along those lines, please do more research. Don't believe anything they promise you. They'll say anything, and when they have control they'll absolutely fuck the working class to make the rich as rich as possible. Just look at what's happening in America right now. If you're not comfortably living off the returns on your vast wealth, or you have any sort of integrity, Rinehart and co have nothing good for you.
Whaaaaat? No way! Things like this normally never happen when you take a bunch of untrained morons off the street and give them police like powers.
Fuck America. We don't want their tyrannical oligarchic bullshit here. trump and his hopelessly incompetent government think they can coerce other countries into doing whatever they want through tariffs, the rest of the world needs to start a new global economy without the US in it.
In the US right now we're witnessing the logical conclusion of capitalism and unless you're one of a handful of people it's not pretty. Unregulated capitalism needs to end or it's going to take us all down. We should be looking to emulate the democratic socialist countries of Europe, but it's never going to happen while we sit back and let rich people's kids rule our lives.
Can't have people keeping the truth if you're planning to rewrite history.
We have a federal election next month, with candidates that have a lot of similarities with the US situation last November. It's going to be a good indicator of what kind of country Australians want.
