The system is working exactly as intended...

Illustration of "DESPERATE PEOPLE MAKE IDEAL WORKERS AND DISTRACTED CITIZENS." Three rows of little cartoon people. First row: "Desperate people" - 6 months no newstart, high student debt, ATSI programs cut, high med fees, 40 job apps a month. Second row "Make ideal workers" - Work for cheap, for pizza, down a mine, far from family, sell us your land if we create jobs on it. Third row, "and distracted citizens" - Climate change? I gotta pay rent! Disability rights? I gotta find a job! Land rights? I need to feed my kids! Refugees? I've got medical bills to pay! Long-term problems? I got short-term problems!

    @breadandcircuses
    What force leads a man
    To a life filled with danger
    High on seas or a mile underground?
    It's when need is his master
    And poverty's no stranger,
    And there's no other work to be found.

    @fuck_cars Something I wish Australia would change is laws prohibiting any vehicles between a 200W ebike and a full motorcycle. I'd get a lot of value from a 60kmph limited 1kW ebike. But currently to sell such a thing it would have to comply with all motorcycle requirements, and things like ABS on both wheels is really not required for such a device.a

    @LovesTha @fuck_cars at what point do you need better-than-minimal brakes and lights? What training and what PPE should be required? If Are you a motorcycle rider and so know what 60 on 2 wheels means?
