The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

This happened with the dire threats of recession in January, anxiety in March over interest rates, then warning the May budget would inevitably cause house prices to rise and simultaneously to fall. And now core inflation.

The Howard years ended with more than 28 workplace deaths per million workers, a level now gone forever. The rate declined through the Rudd/Gillard period, ending at 16.7 per million. This fluctuated through the Coalition but has been steeply downwards under Labor.

The ideal interest rate range is 4.0% - 5.5%, historically in Australia unattainably low. It was above 9% from 1978 to 1991.
The current 4.1% is smack in the middle of today’s desirable band, given global conditions.
Yet the craven liars in the newsrooms want readers to think this is catastrophic.
