When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

I was once extremely depressed for 10 years and didn't think I'd live too long. I made it through with the help of my cat. She's gone now, but I never forget her.
Today I give to cats shelters in different parts of the US.
They save us.

In Australia, you could replace most attention seeking elder economists with an LLM based on economically dual orthodox thoughts circa 1982, trained on data from 1971 to 1993, and the results would be indistinguishable from what you unortunately get to read everyday.

Nothing the Albo govt loves shelving more than a "long-standing commitment"‼️
