It’s nearly like religion and donations should be kept out of politics…

It’s literally the worst thing you can do in a democracy. Allow your representatives manipulate/be manipulated by the stock market
You would presume that the partner of a BP exec would have sufficient household income. Apparently not…
Excellent, thank you.
I’ve been considering switching to Linux, but did you say Firefox takes 30 seconds to start? Is that standard? Edit: what a strange bunch you are to downvote a random question.
How strange… Thanks for letting me know! :)
I’m currently in a country that has controlled internet. As a result I often can’t see external links or news articles…
I think you’re confused. I said I don’t know if you missed a /s or not. Meaning that the quote you posted seems outlandish, but there is unfortunately plausibility it’s true.

Unfortunately, valid comment.
Holy shit, that article outlines an incredible level of incompetence, dear lord …

That’s a lot of money for not many people. What’s the general consensus about it ? I’d be curious if perhaps they paid half of the student debt, or forced a 0% interest rate or something if that would still make a difference without such a huge sum of moolah
Ehh, these summary bots aren’t great…
You’d think that… it sunk the Australian government when they tried to implement it 10-15 yrs ago
Holy shit you guys need some serious help.
