If I'm right they assumed no interest earned on money not invested ("The investment is assumed to be 100% equity, with no interest earned…

The premise that the 73 yr old can't decide for herself what type of vehicle she'd like to drive seems as insulting.

With the fruit it's all the same stuff. There's no advantage to taking the "not free" ones. But yes, when you see a parent giving their…

Isn't this why the supermarkets have free fruit for kids though?

I wouldn't be too concerned about the installation process, its not hard, much simpler than changing a tyre for example.

They said in and OUT of super?

Things are already going wrong at the parent level, otherwise why would we need this bill?

Yeah if you gave more notice and they denied it then I'd probably agree with you. Its only $65 and you didn't give much notice, time to…

Unless it was early Friday morning - which I'm assuming it wasn't if they didn't reply - it's not two days notice. But if its such a big…

So like 1 business day notice. Cop the $65.

Why wouldn't you just test drive the one you're going to buy? You need to make sure it drives ok anyway, and its the normal thing to do.

Seems like the recovery code is the important thing to have, if you can't get into your email/authenticator without Bitwarden, and you…

I tend not to go to the GP until I really need it, at which point I'm usually willing to pay a gap to avoid waiting 3 days or whatever for…

Me too, except Tuesday evenings can be annoying cos they start removing all the special labels, so you can't tell what's on special.

Cos 'popular with' != 'official'.

They're not saying you get less total money in the pocket when you're paid more. Their point is that at 'high' incomes your marginal tax…

Hear this a lot but it doesn't pass the sniff test. E.g., my mate continually tells me grocery prices are going up since covid cos Coles…

No, the post just asked why university shouldn't be free. No mention of TAFE or vocational training etc. I know some TAFE courses are free,…

1 is fair. 2 is not - as I said, if you can't write precisely that's on you.

Ad homeneim fallacy

Thanks for having a go. I think we more or less agree, there is a just a question of at which point the downsides become *too* large to…

The example would apply if it took 3-5 years to get the results of a screening, and while one screening is in progress, you cannot have any…

The statement was that more university education always makes a society more prosperous. Perhaps you missed that I said it's not…

Mate I have PhD and am fair useless with a spanner. I'm just saying there's more people going to uni doesn't always mean society is more…

You don't sound like a prick, but its not an argument especially if you're not equipped to explain it (no offense). Is the point you're…

Well yes I agree with the second part. But I mean surely writing down the loans means less money in government budget which means less…

Agreed

What do you mean? Money doesn't come from nowhere.

Uh no, not necessarily. In what world is studying some braindead arts or sociology degree more useful than becoming a plumber or carpenter.
