#RonnieSalt is, if anything, good at rubbing salt on our political wounds but it’s theraputic even if it stings a little. Bear with her and read it through, laugh while you cringe, and shake your head at the cruel reality it portrays.
To boot, she makes a good point:
“In Australian politics right now, we’ve entered Saturday Night Live levels of parody. And just like SNL, the only people laughing are the players. If you add up the cost of supporting the crop of people in politics mentioned here, most of whom were paid to represent you, you might come close to over $6 million a year. Add in the cost of corruption commissions and police time spent on either bashing their own citizens or investigating histrionic allegations, and you’re getting closer to $10 million, $12 million and counting. If you’re wondering why you can’t save for a deposit for a house, or why your job stacking shelves in Woolworths isn’t getting you anywhere, why not consider a career in politics in Australia?”My answer is simple enough, I couldn’t possibly imagine myself licking the boots of the narcisist leadership I’d be subjected to — in any Party. As an independent… life would be too hard for poor ol’ me and I’ve got better things to do in my retirement. As A younger lad, I considered it but lacked the ‘lived expereince’ necessary to truly represent a constituency. All I’ve ever done is vote (as you do) and still castigate myself for not voting informed 100% all the time. I know what I was like at 16… don’t ask… but I cannot in all honesty say that had I been required to vote then, I’d not have had the maturity to do my civic duty the justice it demands. Are today’s 16 yo better able to deliver? I honestly don’t know. I have no relationships with young people these days.
I will not apologise for the spoiler, but Ronnie’s punch line points at the reader and lets them know who’s is at fault for allowing this circus to go on.
“You can tell people to get fucked in country town halls for $100 an hour and make up stories about assaults that never happened, drive around in a ski mask, tell shit sexist jokes that weren’t funny even at the Ferntree Gully pub in 1987, and stay up all night worrying about the colour of your weekly rubbish bin lid – all for the price of millions of dollars a year of money that isn’t yours.
This is Australian politics in 2026. Trivial side-shows and grift-maxxing on a grand scale and yes, all of it is a joke. But while we keep paying for it, the joke is always on us.”https://theshot.net.au/uncategorized/our-politics-is-a-farce-and-youre-paying-for-the-tickets/

CW: New European banknotes??????
Apparently there's a vote on new European Union banknotes ongoing from the European Central Bank. They'll be rolling these out next year.
Do me a favour and vote for the OBJECTIVELY (Joke, but also not really.) BETTER bird ones.
Non-Europeans can also vote.

If anyone thinks a privatised NHS would be good. Take a look at the Pharmacy network, pretty much all in the private sector. With two critical acute medicines on prescription on Friday, I visited 4 pharmacies without obtaining the items. The fifth pharmacy had one item. The remaining item has been ordered from online supplier but doesn't arrive until Wednesday. #NHS
Remember this if you're thinking of voting for a party that says the NHS would be better in private ownership! #YourVoteMatters -

Hey, US folks, today is #election day for both party primaries. Yes, we still only have the two. (Someone put me in contact with the Monster Raving Loonies, let’s make it international and I’ll run for president. MissConstrue, she can’t possibly be as bad as those guys, or just get out and let a woman fix it, sheesh. Solid slogans, I think.) (Because the US is clearly ready for an ethnically indecipherable socialist woman of certain age and philosophical views to lead them into the future. Ha!)
In any case, your choices are two, and two shall be the counting, so if thou hast not voted, get upon thine ass and go. Go now. Do it!
