Just as I suspected.
Still, it will be good get more details after the agreement is signed by the US administration and eventually passed by Congress.https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09/20/world/politics/denmark-trump-greenland-deal/
And yet again, we have main stream media propaganda machine echoing #47 trashtalk and peeps believe the shit. Workers of the world seriously need to wake the f*** up.

There is #StructuralUnemployment which can be addressed with re-skilling for available/new jobs and then there’s the #NeoLiberal #NAIRU principle based on a deduction that real full employment will lead to runaway inflation which is an #RBA responsibility to maintain within an *arbitrary* range. The latter leads to *systemic* unemployment which requires #PublicSupport.While I understand structural unemployment occurs and will continue to occur, there is no economic imperative for policy-driven unemployment. It is strictly a policy specifically designed to enable wealth transfer from the #Workers to the #RentierClass through #WageControl.
In our current economic system, #Wages are treated as a #Costs of doing business resulting in #LowerProfits. Maintaining #unemployment in the 4-5% range ensures competition for jobs and supresses demand for higher wages hence maintaining a higher level of profit. That’s how it works.
How stupid is that? Creating unemployment to please #FinancialMarkets and #privateEnterprises while simultaneously using #PublicFunds to help those out of a job. What kind of screwed logic is that system based on? I’ll tell you — it’s not Capitalism — it’s plain and simple #ClassWar led by #Grifters (which can occur in any economic system if it is deregulated enough or centrally controlled by the #Oligarchy — we have both).
BTW, instituting a Universal Basic Income (#UBI) would look after the unemployed much better than we do now, but it would not solve the repercutions of our failed NeoLiberal economic system. Wealth transfer to the 1% would still occur. Our economy is **rigged** and we need to changes that with stronger regulations, check and balances.

The answer to #CostOfLivingCrisis is, and always was, #HigherWages. #Corporation and #businesses will **always** equate *Productivity Increase* with workers working harder and will tie this to any wage increases. Because that is what #Grifters **Do**. They treat wage earners as *Commodities* and a *Cost* to doing business because **they can**. And workers have now heard that *narrative* so many times over the generations that they believe that **crap**.

Posted by Matt Grudnoff - Senior EconomistRoss Gittins’ article in the SMH today thanks Greg Jericho for blowing the whistle on the real cause of the cost-of-living crisis, wages.
Greg has been pointing out that while prices and profits have been going up, wages have not been keeping up. The amount of stuff that workers can buy is going backwards.
Ross wrote:
So I’m indebted to the Australia Institute’s Greg Jericho for being the country’s first economist to blow the whistle. He’s actually looked up the numbers and seen that, though businesses kept increasing their prices in the first two years following the COVID pandemic – March 2021 to March 2023 – the workers weren’t game to ask for a pay rise.
Ross also points out that when bosses say give us an improvement in productivity and we’ll give you a pay rise, they have it backwards. Higher wages now will encourage businesses to improve the productivity of there now more expensive workers.
The solution to the cost-of-living crisis is higher wages.”

A word or two (quoted from Prof. Richard Murphy) on the nonsense of increasing the official #CashRate to stymie anticipated #inflation stemming from external uncontrolled events. Here, the European Central Bank is the guilty party but it holds true for all Central Banks.
“This [ECB] move is meant to control inflation arising as a consequence of the war between the USA and Iran, as well as food shortages arising from that same war and drought. No one is suggesting there is excess demand in the Eurozone. However, inflation arising from excess demand, a phenomenon not seen in many economies for decades because so many people are having so many problems in making ends meet, is the only type of inflation that an interest rate rise can address.”
Not only do we know all of this, but so do the #CentralBanks (they’re not stupid).
“[…] increasing interest rates at this moment might be described as an act of economic illiteracy. It might also be described as class warfare based on economic aggression, because its purpose is, in reality, to deter those on wage income from seeking pay increases to maintain their economic positions, while those who profit from the price increases are left to enjoy their newfound and unearned riches.”
Economic illiteracy or calculated monetary intervention to maintain unemployment and shift more wealth into the pockets of those least in need? #Bankers are not stupid. They know. The #Oligarchs creates a #war and we all pay for it while they reap insane #profits from it. And the Bankers think: ‘Why not let them moke more profits through #GreedFlation?’ We’re all screwed on this path… time for a real change, for a change.

This is not **News** per se, by which I mean this is not a new development. In one form or another, precarious agricultural workers have been take *to the cleaners* over the centuries (from Australia’s colonial past to the present #NeoLiberal #NeoColonialism). Wherever there’s a buck to be made by skipping around laws and regulations, there is sure to be some clever arsehole that comes up with a scheme to vaccum up easy cash. That, is the state our society has come down to and some of the worst perpetrators of this *financial fraud* are #LabourHire companies. They provide nothing that can’t be had by other more equitable schemes and skim the cream off the top for the privilege of screwing workers. ** A pox on all their houses.**
“Australia's growing reliance on temporary migrant labour has fuelled a booming labour hire industry, with contractors sitting between growers and workers, often recruiting, transporting and housing them.” (Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-04/australias-hidden-modern-slave-labour-workforce-exposed/106968610 )

It bears pointing out the obvious, again, and again, until the general population *Gets It* before the message finally get through the thick ears of govt and those in power start to *read the room*.
“…on almost every issue listed below, the Albanese government has gone against public opinion. For example, more than three-in-five Australians support a gas tax, 83% say the supermarkets deserve some blame for the cost-of-living crisis, three-in-four Australians want a ban on gambling ads and 79% hold a negative view of Israel. On these big issues, the vast majority – from left to right – are in agreement. Yet, as we show below, the prime minister has repeatedly stood with powerful interests.”

RE: https://aus.social/@Blacksmithoz/117017551134332056
How can we allow this kind of rort to go on…? How *responsible* is it for govts, meant to *represent* our wishes and act on them, to ignore the magnitude of #StateCapture?
Wake up people, the representatives we have elected so far in our democratic history ARE NOT your friends, they do not “Represent” YOU.
Get active, get political, make your vote count wherever you live before that voting power is taken away from you for ever.

#UnionBusting practices have been very successful in the last 50 years or so and this is the result. Beats me why ‘workers’ are too stupid to realise this. The only way to secure ‘workers’ (wage and salary earners) rightful share of the national wealth is through #Unionism. Strong, courageous and principled (Are you reading this #ACTU #SallyMcManus ?) willing to fight against all forms of govt for the benefit of all workers. I remember a time when Unions weren’t in bed with govts and strike funds coffers were full.#JoinYourUnion or keep loosing. Those are the choice, ever were so. “They” can’t lock us all up… remember that. #UnityIsStrength
Hope you’re well Melissa.

The worse our industry gets, the more crucial it is to help each other. Talk to your coworkers and get in touch with orgs like GWU Montreal NOW, it'll be too late when the bottom falls out.
It's time to take back control and bring democracy to our workplaces!

I’m a union member because I believe it's the right thing to do, not because I have a particular need for union support in my present workplace. But I am pleased to read the email I got today that tells me my membership helps pay to insure me in case I have an accident going to or from work.
