It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Well done, Neo Liberals...
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

Well, if it did I have to say I didn't really notice it, beyond a few grocery price rises - which were covered by the raise we got in our Super. I still managed a little savings account, paid my bills on time, kept the roof over my head and frittered a bit away on fun stuff.
But I guess that is the beauty of a guaranteed liveable income, affordable rent in a small but well maintained home, and subsidised medical care in an almost free health system. I wish everyone had those real luxuries.

Indeed - & that would be the point.
