Too few people are calling Trump's tariffs what they are.
They're an import tax.
A big new tax on everything.
A big new tax on everything that's imported from overseas.
A big new tax on every American made goods that use imported materials or parts.

In 2017, a Tesla assembly worker filed a lawsuit claiming supervisors and co-workers called him the N-word. But his written complaint to HR was not investigated.
Musk allegedly responded by emailing staff, pushing back against the complaint.

In light of recent events, it's worth taking a look back at some of the #MeToo and racial discrimination allegations against Elon Musk, dating back to at least 2017.
At the time, these allegations were either dismissed, including shamefully by some on the left.

Let's just hope for Australia's sake there's nothing more to Musk's regular contact with Putin.
Because Musk now reportedly has access to classified defence and intelligence information from Australia.

The other part of this story is how, once again, an easily offended American right wing snowflake is triggered by content that doesn't toe the ideologically correct line.
This is yet another example of the cancel culture of the right.
Why do these people hate free speech?

By 30 years ago, there was no doubt that toxic fossil fuel pollution causes global warming.
Or that a warmer atmosphere and oceans means more cyclones, bushfires, droughts, floods, snd heatwaves.
Especially within the toxic fossil fuel fuel industry.

You know all that crap that came from Trump/Fox News/the American right about education?
How they claimed it was Democrats/the left that wanted to brainwash kids and spread propaganda through schools?
It was all projection.
It was always projection.

What does the toxic fossil fuel industry do when the oil wells run dry?
Move them into a shell company to avoid the clean-up bill!
Just ask Koch Industries, which is owned by major Republican Party donors and climate denial think tank funders the Koch brothers.

Tony Abbott also promised to cut the public service. He called it a "budget emergency": www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10...

New update from the Emergency Vic app just a couple of minutes ago.
It confirmed the bushfire is continuing east, not under control, and is now impacting the town of Dimboola. It's too late to leave, homes and lives in jeopardy.

Having a new twice-weekly coach service to Yass Junction will be great for the people of Young.
But this proposal doesn't go nearly far enough.
Imagine a town like Young getting a half hourly coach connecting it to a half hourly faster train to Sydney and Melbourne.
That should be the next step.

Personally, I would want to see the slowest sections of the Sydney to Melbourne train line upgraded to be a 6 hour trip, as suggested by Philip Laird.
I would increase frequencies to be at least one service every 30 minutes.
And then I'd run half hourly coach services that connect with the train.
