Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
so tired, I’m going to bed. Good night everyone 😘
I think the fairer way to manage inflation is for the government to raise taxes temporarily. At least then the burden is shared more equally.
I think we need to increase taxes permanently, and start spending more money on essential services again. But we need to tax in a fairer way, aiming to reduce inequality. I’d be looking at captital gains tax and the huge discounts we give. And unpopular as it may be I think we should tax gains on residential homes. Which would not actually be as much as people would fear - once you take out a deduction for interest payments, stamp duty, rates and all the other costs most people would not actually have that much gain, but people who receive windfalls from being in the right spot would contribute some of that back to society.
Hmmm yes take more money from the people trying to buy a house to live in. I like it. Thanks for the idea, Satan!
Yay I finally got to see some lightning! I thought everyone else got all the fun and I missed out. No rain here though. I think we may have gotten half a sprinkle earlier.
Edit: I’ve found a pattern with my loud downstairs neighbour. She consistently fires up whenever there’s some kind of weather event and as someone who also digs weather events, I can respect that. Been at it for almost an hour now off and on.
When I was a kid and used to have sleepovers with friends one our favourite things were staying up late and watching lightning when it happened as we told stories all night. E
For some reason lightning was super cool and we had the best time when the sky was flashing and the thundering booming every now and again.
Ahhh fond memories.
If there’s one thing Paul McGann brings to anything he’s in it’s terrible kissing. Please for the love of everyone, especially the person on the recieving end, stop giving that man romantic partners/interests.
Honestly, I’m less grossed out by my 80yr old Grandparents having one of their weird denture filled snogs.
Well it’s all happened now. Thunder, lightning and rain.
I thought we all got to piggyback off your steps? That is so many steps. Is there an alternative I can do that is more along the lines of sitting on the couch?
