  • Typical US worker has less than $1,000 saved for retirement, report finds

    Jump

  • Yes, Australia has a means tested aged pension too. This is seperate. It's relatively new, so those at retirement age haven't had it their whole life. However those approaching retirement soon will have had.

    It's only recently risen. It started out with a lower percent contribution. The fact that it has risen in the last few years is seen as a contributing factor that wage growth is small. Businesses had to pay their workers an extra percentage at just the time inflation was biting and workers wanted wage increases.. businesses said they couldn't afford both but we're legally required to do the super guarantee increase.

  • What's the best pizza you've ever had?

    Jump

  • When we were on holiday in Malaysia as kids, we ordered room service one evening. My brother was a picky eater so we asked for a plain cheese pizza, expecting like a margherita style.

    Instead it was pizza base with just some sad grated cheese melted on top. Didn't taste great but just thinking about it makes me laugh. We waited about 40 minutes for that disappointment.

  • What's an animal that would be cool if we could domesticate to the level of companion animal, like dogs.

    Jump

  • Large birds, so they could take us flying. It would solve transportation issues and by doing so, get rid of commutes, make housing more affordable due to ease of transport from more places and be so cool.

  • Average superannuation balance in Australia, so defined contribution pension fund, is AU$170,000. All workers get 12% of their wages from their employer added to it by law. I think the hope is that eventually, there will be no aged pension and people will depend on their super rather than the government for retirement.

  • Defect implies help the enemy. They just claimed asylum for safety. I don't think the regime will be happy with them but it's not the same.

  • Iran tells world to get ready for oil at $200 a barrel as it fires on commercial ships

    Jump

  • Too expensive at $60 a barrel. Worth it at $200.

  • Why Some People Think Food Is Better In Europe Than In The US

  • Yes, in the UK but not Britain. However some identify as British. Very confusing if you're not familiar.

    And that's an area of regional conflict with terrorism that has come to peace.

  • I'd be surprised if this was accurate. I've seen average at Facebook of 350k. But, that's the problem, we don't really know as the data is not public.

    I would also assume the private company salaries we do know don't include stock options and bonuses.

    I think 700k+ is crazy high for a company without a model for much revenue. However, if they can afford it and the people are worth it, I don't think it's a bad thing in and of itself.

  • Morning Bid: Trump says war is 'very complete' - Iran has other ideas

    Jump

  • I agree with what you're saying. I also think it's important to seperate trump as a person to trump as a political entity or trumpism (maga) as a cause.

    Trump gets away with stuff, bit because we let him, but because he demands it and does everything to get it. Someone else might retire in disgrace. Hell make claims of fraud and try and incite violent upheaval to auit his purposes.

    It's not so much that he is exempt from consequences, political or legal, it's that those consequences aren't being upheld. It's very groupthink and emperora new clothes. If he thought he was immune, he wouldn't need to get rid of opposition and stack everywhere with allies and yes men.

  • Or, if you’ve no strategic goals, you never really fail. It’s a matter of perpspective. And when friendly media take his word as does a cult following, that perspective will be magnified.

    I agree, you’re looking at his actions similarly to me, but you’re trying to fit that into an assessment compared to peers or conventional thinking and/or planning. He doesn’t follow norms as he’s not normal.

  • Well, y that metric, it’s successful. He wanted to flex and bomb. He did. That was the goal. Mission accomplished.

    People keep ascribing normal behaviours and motivations to Trump. He clearly doesn’t fit in that box due to mental health issues. He neither understands the purposes of his actions nor has the foresight to see their effect. It’s all reaction, but as long as the emperor continues to have clothes, it works, unfortunately. Those around him can manipulate him until he turns on them. It’s a constant shuffling of loyalties and policies for self benefit.

    It’s assumed this was Israel’s doing. Not trumps. As are all his actions. Someone else is pulling his strings.

  • No, it's Great Britain AND Northern Ireland. Both being part of the UK. If you're going to be pedantic, be correct.

    Free movement between Ireland and the UK predates the EU and continues to this day. One part of the Brexit discussions was continuing border free travel between north and south on the island of Ireland.

    I agree, nobody is coming to save you and you have to do it for yourselves. Bombing protestors, however distasteful, will make it so there is nothing worth saving.

    Don't get me wrong. Terrorism can work. And today's terrorist is tomorrow's freedom fighter. I don't thinknthe USA is at that level of oppression for mqny people to be sympathetic to a terrorist movement, which is a requirement for it to work.
