Oil has gone up from around $80/barrel to around $100, about a 25% increase. But diesel (Perth) has gone from around $155/litre to around $2.80, and increase of around 80%. This is not international pricing, some one is making a shitload from this at our expense.

It will be interesting to see how Americans react when oil prices jump tonight, and gas prices soon follow upwards. Closure of Straights of Hormuz will pressure world oil supplies.

Trumps trade deficit problem could be readily resolved if USA would just produce stuff that the rest of the world wanted to buy.

Trumps tariffs again shows how incompetent they are. They have put tariffs on Heard and Macquarie islands. These are not a country but islands in antartica populated by penguins but have no people. Expect a delegation of angry penguins at the WH soon.

3 major problems facing Australia are climate change and the resultant damage, wealth inequality and housing. Yet in this election all we are offered is 25c off fuel price or a $5 income tax cut. How petty, No wonder minor and independent votes are so high. Give us something to vote for.

Seig Heils, mass deportations, and now concentration camps.. Why does this all seem so familiar?

Religion likes to scare the shit out of you.

If Trump can redefine citizenship simple with an executive order then future presidents should be able to redefine definition of arms- as in right to bear arms. Perhaps define arms as only smooth bore muzzle loaders as existed when it was originally written.

If all the empathy folk leave X for bluesky and all the MAGA nuts stay on X, doesn't that just make 2 groups each with their own reinforcing echo chambers and neither having any contact with the other and neither hearing contradictory views?

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

President-Elect Musk, Vice President Trump, and some useless idiot.

Trump has admitted that he probably wont bring grocery prices down despite his iron clad promises before November. It was just a lie to garner votes. You would have had to be dumb and gullible though to believe that lie. Clearly there are an awful lot of dumb and gullible magats in America.
