The Reserve Bank hiked interest rates last week - but why?
Despite the unusual economic climate, the RBA is just ploughing on as normal, @grogsgamut.bsky.social says.

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.

It’s not just the 7. Or the 57. It’s the whole system.
The law isn’t helping. New York’s voluntary intoxication loophole makes it nearly impossible for survivors to seek justice if they drank or used substances prior to an assault. Because of this loophole, Jane Doe’s assailants may never be held accountable under the law.
