More uni, less productivity

See for yourself:

https://treasury.gov.au/policy-topics/measuring-what-matters/dashboard/productivity
https://www.statista.com/statistics/612854/australia-population-with-university-degree/

I don’t have a statisica membership or the desire to collate the raw data…but if anyone here does, it’d be great to do a proper productivity growth vs population % gone to uni and get the r value.

makes sense to me

the jimmy flood has produced a bunch of low wage low value add workers delivering uber eats and standing outside supermarkets as security guards etc, the kinds of roles that get measured by productivity wonks as modest contributors to gdp

the more the economy packs in of these types the more productivity per worker metrics will decline

the arborist

Even without the jimmies, universities were pumping out useless idiots. University is basically an extortionate fee you have to pay (in time and money) before you can get a job.

stagmal

its the biggest forced waste of time ever

LSWCHP

For a lot of degrees, yes. Any degree that has “studies” in the title for example (womens studies, gender studies etc) is expensive bullshit.

But if you want to build bridges, write complex software, perform surgery on brains, defend someone in front of a judge etc then university is the only way to get there for most people.

stagmal

i suspect you could just train people to do some of those jobs without a formal education beforehand

law never used to require a degree for example

nor did nursing for that matter, suddenly it does for some reason

abraham lincoln was a practicing lawyer without a degree

actual training is much more effective for facilitating the learning process than university education

stagmal

university education to a great degree is just a proxy for IQ imo which is the true predictive component for working success

the arborist

USED TO BE a proxy for IQ. At least for the cattle class degrees (master of business et al).

I’d suggest a cattle class degree is more of a test of how good a person is at being a drone and never questioning anything. The perfect EZFKAian.

Drago

Questions:

What value is a degree from an EZFKA Uni, when the Pajeets are all flooding in with their ‘qualifications’ for the same discipline from the Shitskin University of Mumbai?

Karen in HR won’t give the local kid a chance when they do want to get a job with that degree. Tick for diversity instead.

Why would any Zoomer in EZFKA pay hundreds of thousands for a degree when said Pajeet gets the same job with their shitty Uni degree?

How do you roll back the cancerous growth of Universities and their associated parasitic infrastructure including thousands of local employees?

The voracious greed for Overseas students has been fuelled by the likes of Dan Andrews and the Universities who saw the cash, but not the fact it would shit on a generation of Zoomers who will not have the opportunity, culture or even lifestyle their parents had. A subservient media like The Age couldn’t bring themselves to point this out, they just more white guilt stories and how awful it is for some Chinese student having to experience the shitty mess (no mention of the hundred thousand local kids who do).

the arborist

1) not much
2) naivety
3) a massive economic crash

I’m pretty sure Dan & co saw that it would crush legacy zoomers. He just doesn’t give a shit. Maybe even prefers it that way. As long as numbers go up, nothing else matters.

Maybe all this diversity crush-loading will be a good thing when the global population crashes. Probably not though.

OzCuck

Legacy Ezfkas are some of the biggest boot lickers going. Their so called conversations are 80-90% bitching about and putting other Ezfka units down. Complete scum.

All engineers know that most Indian (for example) “degrees” aren’t worth the toilet paper they’re printed on. Not all, but most.

I recruited engineers for over two decades and never hired an Indian. Of the two ethnics I did hire, the Egyptian was a dud (lesson learned) and the Chinese bloke was barely adequate.

When you can basically by a education in India at the corner shop it leads to useless “qualified” people.

So true, Uni is now just a test of how you can conform to the rules and parrot back what you have been taught, they do more to indoctrinate to the woke agenda than actually give people skills.

Peachy

So true, Uni is now just a test of how you can conform to the rules and parrot back what you have been taught

actually, to take the other side of the argument, it seems to me that this was pretty much always so.

most people (say 80%, because distribution shapes) are simply not talented enough to ever achieve any significant degree of original thought or creativity. This includes most people who went to University.

But, for the 20% people who do have that talent, University is one way (though not the only way) to realise that potential. Even if University is mostly parroting stuff back. So say you have 20 sufficiently talented people – if you send none of them to university, you might naturally get 1 great thinker out of them. If you send all of them to University, you might get 3 great thinkers.

if you accept this premise, then it’s just a numbers game, displaying declining marginal utility. In the old days when only 5% of people went to University (selected mistly by wealth and class), you’d be missing out on developing a significant amount of potential great thinkers. By the time 25% of people go (selected by a mix of wealth/class AND academic ability) you’ve harvested most of society’s potential.

by forcing the next 75% through University, by making a degree a prerequisite for childcare work and such, the gain in great thinkers would be very very marginal.

iq 115 was considered the minimum to benefit from uni education

iq 115 was considered the minimum to benefit from uni education

interesting! According to the Internet about 15% of the population sit at 115 or above.

that’s pretty close to my own estimate of 20% as the portion of the population with potential and talent

LSWCHP

Oh FFS, that’s complete bullshit. I wasn’t talking about nursing I was talking about brain surgeons.

I was a professional engineer. I built large dangerous machines that could kill people. Their correct design and implementation required a deep understanding of mathemics, electronics, software development and a dozen other things, all of which I learned at university.

If you seriously think that people can learn about differential equations or computer processor design or linear algebra on the job or at trade school then you should just stay in Dubbo.

Stewie

Sorry – left ‘Engineers’ off my list… they sort of fell in under esoteric Mathsy subjects. Quite often though it was smarter journeyman tradesmen who’d be identified and then sent off by the company to get their qualifications.

Until the Baby Boomers, going to University was still only accessible to people who won academic scholarships (a great means of reducing inequality imho) and those wealthy enough to support or lucky enough to be supported through the training eg by their employer.

Stewie

I believe you can still become a lawyer as a Journeyman through the law clerks role.

xxxxxxxxxxxx

It has to do with all that litigation and insurance requirements. You cannot be insured unless you can demonstrate “competency”. If you want to consult with someone without official qualifications but life or practical experience instead, you have every right to do so. Just do not sue if things do not work out.

The90kwbeast

That is a good point. Most professions are the same, be qualified to be insured.

Stewie

Credentialism as a social phenonium exploded after the US Supreme Court banned employers making their potential employees from performing an IQ tests as a formal screening process in Griggs v. Duke Power when the found that intelligence was not necessarily a reasonable measure of job performance – this was basically on the basis that the population group differences in IQ could result in discriminatory outcomes for some ethnic groups.

As a consequence employers basically outsourced the relatively cheap IQ tests they were using, to the Byzantine and enormously expensive and complex University system, the cost of which was essentially pushed onto citizens and the Govt via inflated education costs.

Prior to this only certain ‘professions’ required formal training – not all, as it is still possible to become a Lawyer through the Law Clerk route (or at least it was possible 20 yrs ago). Things like Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, etc. Other than that there were esoteric subjects like pure Math, that kept super nerds off the street and in easily accessible locations if the Govt should ever need them, and the ‘Arts’ basically for the same core group of unemployable wankers who dominate the administration centers of most Universities nowadays.

Long story short, thanks to diversity, a simple inexpensive filter capable of easily sorting employees by their ability to do the job, was replaced with a complex, expensive and enormously time burdensome ritual where nearly the entire cost of which is pushed onto ordinary citizens.

As well as low trust societies and the closure of conveniences stores, the bloated University system is just another thing we can thank Africans and ‘diversity’ for.

Together with its partner in crime, Affirmative Action, these two changes have allowed incompetent people to become Credentialists Journeymen (or women, as they are the other largest beneficiary of these policies) to rise far beyond their station in life, and spread their inefficiency and disproductivity, throughout society and the economy, and in my honest opinion is one of the driving forces of dysfunction in our societies today.

some aus jobs still kind of use IQ tests, really crap ones that have like 10 questions that are really poorly constructed

everyone who has applied for a grad position has done them, theyre absolutely horrible and all part of the obnoxious matrix of things you have to clear to even be considered for an interview

a properly individually admistered IQ test or well constructed vocational exam imo >>>>>>>>>>>>>> most degrees

stagmal

i reckon you could eliminate maybe like 65-70%~ of all university students today and replace w/ IQ or vocational g-loaded tests and it would end up producing better outcomes

stagmal

that reminds me just LOL chat gpt must be wreaking absolute havoc on these grad school app tests bc theyre all done from home and online, suck shit hahahahaha

Do any companies still do those Myer Briggs type tests? Haven’t needed to myself for decades but I do remember sweating when I had to once.

Supposedly they would eke out a view on your personality by asking the same question fifty different ways, to find out your supposed tendencies etc.

Being the type to have no time for idiots, Jews, etc. I was always a hairs breadth away from being branded a psycho by Karen from HR….

stagmal

yes they’re still used in job application processes, grad programs use personality construct inventories (not myers briggs but they’re all about the same)
personality construct inventories do have some predictive value but the problem in HR selection processes is people can game them by just lying about their personality

the

the way they catch up liars is by asking the same questions over and over again with different wording

such as

Are you a people person?

Do you like people?

Do you have lots of friends and enjoy being around them?

etc

eventually the liars will be caught up by asking one differently from the other and the discrepancy will be noted and the application rejected

if you know this, they’re very easy to lie on and its obvious HR depts want people high in conscientiousness and middling/higher extroversion (or whatever constructs are equivalent) etc

In my last job we had tons of them, they all spew out the same BS. They usually came out in strategy sessions.

Gruppenführer Mark

These are not that prevalent any more. But! I did find that if you have a rudimentary knowledge of Myers-Briggs, it does help with determining some traits observed in awork setting, as people tend to assume a different style professionally, rather than being the same type in personal life. And M-B does offer strategies to deal with or appeal to various types. Not fool proof, of course.

Helps with early development of people-reading skills, but only early development.

I think the theory behind MB may not be on point, but the archetypes that they allocate into are very real. From what I gather corporations and professional personality dissectors mainly use the OCEAN or big 5 personality type tests over MB nowadays.

Most of the Australian economy is just debt growth and government spending so there’s probably not a lot you can automate to make them more productive

Good thread:

So we need to import unskilled migrants and their elderly parents to look after all the elderly in EZFKA. Good argument that one.

LSWCHP

I’ve unfortunately had recent experience of hospital and aged care facilities in rural NSW.

A substantial number, maybe 30%+, of the nurses in the hospital were Irish. And the great majority of the shop floor staff in the old folks home were Asians of various kinds. I’d say Chinese and Filipino, though no Indians that I can recall.

So that may be a positive aspect of immigration. But if many of those people are also bringing their parents over later on, as the Indians are constantly demanding, then what’s the point of it all?

The Indians are jumping about trying to claim its a bloody human right to be able to immigrate to Australia and then bring over their aged and infirm parents who have contributed nothing to the health and other infrastructure they will use.

Fuck ’em.

got harassed by that same group of boong kids that spat on me in kfc car park again
was just walking through the park and 2 of the same kids walked up to me and one of them said WANT A WORD WITH YOU menacingly
i just ignored him and walked around them, kept walking
then 2 others followed and they all formed a semi circle around me shouting abuse
i just kept ignoring them but they kept following / surrounding me, one of them started throwing air punches over and over again right in my face and i lost it

You were in fear of your life.

The police will go speak to the boongs and ask why did a group of you corner him and start throwing punches at him?

nup, i saw one of them next day and hit him with a stick after he came up to me to have another go (but he wasnt being this violent that time)

he wasnt in the group from the day before, he was there when i got spat on in kfc car park a month or so ago, theyre all related or siblings i believe

id say theres a 50-50 chance ill be charged with something minor but at the end of the day there’s no way im going to let it happen if its going to

The only time MB got anything right was putting everything in cash early 2020. They got their 40% discount on everything, then were too stupid to put it back into equities. A lot of people were calling a bottom in the market in late March.

I’ve got a theory developing.

it’s easy to not be racist in a prosperous country, surrounded by a relatively homogenous population.

if the country becomes less prosperous (less economically secure) and folks are surrounded by all sorts of foreign sorts of peeps it becomes quite natural to notice the problems of those foreigners – whether they are on average more violent, less honest or reliable, fickle, loud, whatever. Because, in that situation, there is something at stake.

I agree. Dealing with incompatible cultures tends to make one realise that some cultures are incompatible.

JimsCentralBanking

It probably goes back to a concept as simple as the Maslow hierarchy of needs.

A significant portion of the country doesn’t even have the second level of the hierarchy consistently met, probably not the third or fourth either.

The threat senses of those struggling are working harder than some upper middle class progressive karen whose biggest life challenge is anxiety about climate change or worry that the neighbours might look down on them for only having a 5kw solar system.

  • Prigozhin is seen on the sidelines of Africa summit in Russia – prior to BRICS, largest international forum
  • Prigozhin posts first video from Africa, inviting volunteers, etc.
  • Wagners re-establish African presence, this is a new focus
  • Prigozhin suffers a “special landing operation” – thanks for this, JCB! – along with 5 or so others of his inner circles – presumably commanders on the ground stayed on the ground
  • Wagner presence in Africa is retained, commanders will certainly be “strongly encouraged” to follow a new leader, whose name we might never learn

All of this 2 months after mutiny.

Or Prigozhin may have been “killed” for media purposes only. We may never know this either. His body may have already been buried in the Black Sea.

Peachy

So you think this is an opportunistic play at some kind of increased African influence?

while priggo gets a new face grafted on (like that old movie) and lives the rest of his life somewhere in luxury?

Gruppenführer Mark

This is a play to strengthen ties with Africa without having to rely on a person who was already ousted as unreliable once. Remember, Wagner Group was organised by various players from Russian shadow operatives (FSB, GRU), and Prigozhin became a “spokesman” for the group. I highly doubt he was behind any military operations, development of strategy, or decision-making, having no previous experience.

What he did have is a no-nonsense way of talking that appealed to the common folk, and he was well versed in the Russian prison culture, which he was intimately familiar with, having spent a number of years for various crimes. This helped him in his recruitment effort of the convicted felons to fight in the early stages of the SVO, allowing Putin to properly train the first wave of mobilised forces. And prisoners have done very well against Ukrainians in Bakhmut. Prisoners were suffering losses, but they were motivated and well-supplied. They were also fighting for their “honour”, whatever that means in the prison system – Solzhenytsyn described some of it in his manuscript. Ukrainians were under-equipped and mobilised from the streets against their will, so their will to fight and motivation were much lower, and losses higher (some estimate 5:1) than Russian convicts.

Then, on the back of his own PR campaign, and grass-roots support across the blogoshpere, Prigozhin started to believe that he was more than a figurehead with a loud mouth. And he tried mutiny which was not publicly supported at all. Not by the opposition, not by the military, not by people. He was done. Putin spoke of traitors and heroes, without naming names, but there was a clear line that all of Wagners were heroes, except those who tried to stab Russia in the back. Then the scenario with Godfather’s “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” is starting to take shape.

If Prigozhin is alive and will be reinvented in a different image (which I highly doubt, by the way), he may well be sipping cocktails with Epstein somewhere on the shores of Red Sea.

And a couple of other dot points, which may be connected:

  • Russian army has held the Ukrainian counteroffensive for the last 2+ months successfully
  • General “Armageddon” Surovikin’s three lines of Russian defense are still there, fighting is yet to approach, let alone breach first line of defense
  • It is an accepted knowledge among military strategists that if the first line of defense is not breached within 3-5 days, the counteroffensive is considered a failure
  • According to the news reports from Western (not Russian propaganda) sources, Ukraine has recaptured ~0.2% of its territory as a result of counteroffensive
  • There is now a constant stream of opinion pieces in Western mainstream media openly discussing failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive
  • A NATO talking head floated an idea that Ukraine should consider giving up some of its territory to secure NATO membership (not allowing Ukraine to join NATO was one of the original reasons for the SVO)
  • Pentagon is encouraging Ukrainians to concentrate everything they have left for a last-ditch effort, presumably, in tan effort to expedite destruction of the remainder of Ukrainian army
  • Zelensky has admitted that a new wave of mobilisation (11th? 12th?) will be necessary to recruit up to 200,000 men to ensure the success of the next counteroffensive in spring 2024
  • In the meantime, Russian army has started taking village after village around Kharkov, taking more and more villages and land every day
  • USA just advised all of their citizens to leave Belarus as soon as possible
  • Poland admitted that they have lost 10,000 “volunteers” in Ukraine, who fought there. Poland’s ground forces are circa 60,000
  • Some Telegram channels are hinting at Russian offensive in the making
  • General “Armageddon” Surovikin has been relieved from his post as the commander of Russian Air Force and will be transferred to a new post. He remains on vacation (started right after Prigozhin’s mutiny, so 2 months ago)

I invite others to make their own wild conspiracy theories 😀

Stewie

Your dot point post actually made me think differently, especially these points:

Wagners relocate to Belarus into new camps training Belarus army

Prigozhin is allowed free travel in Russia and Africa

Prigozhin is seen on the sidelines of Africa summit in

Russia – prior to BRICS, largest international forum

Prigozhin posts first video from Africa, inviting volunteers, etc.

Wagners re-establish African presence, this is a new focus

Prigozhin suffers a “special landing operation” – thanks for this, JCB! – along with 5 or so others of his inner circles – presumably commanders on the ground stayed on the ground

Wagner presence in Africa is retained, commanders will certainly be “strongly encouraged” to follow a new leader, whose name we might never learn

And an idea popped into my head.

When I heard the news I immediately laughed and went along with the msm narrative “Of course Putin killed Prigozhin” But this also violates my heuristic short cut The reality is the most likely truth is the opposite of the mainstream media’s narrative.

It is apparent in your points that Prigozhin and the Wagner group have been treated very concessionally considering their supposed crimes, and less than two months after this supposed ‘coup’ he sauntering around Africa.

What is one of the key outcomes of that trip? How about the Niger coup and the destablization of all of Central Africa, massively to the disfavour of the West.

I would not put it past the US or Zelinsky to have carried out that attack. Zelinsky has carried out numerous assassinations within Russia, and Belarus is a poorer more dysfunctional version of Russia, so it would probably be easier to infiltrate.

For Zelinsky it would be a no brainer – blow up Prigozhin, like he’s had many others killed, Putin gets blamed and he gets kudos and more funding from the US and France because he got rid of someone who just cost them central Africa. The very fact that there hasn’t been one suggestion of this in the msm imho makes it more likely to be the truth than not.

If you don’t get it, we can’t help you.

There’s definitely a revolting behavioural or cultural side to these political elites.

In the olden times it was just the crassness of ‘new money’ who acted this way but now it’s a heady mix of self entitlement, massive ego, absolute hatred of the average Australian, and mid range IQ.

At least the rich and elites used to have a code of behaviour, politicians like Mick Young and Barry O’Farrell knew it (look them up). Set your kid up a job sure, but it wasn’t done by rorting tax payer funds to do it, and for fucks sake do it discreetly.

The sob story of him growing up in Housing Commission is now a joke. He looks like some Gordon Gekko corporate raider.

Dan Andrews is an entire range of levels above Albo though, his corruption and nepotism is at a huge scale. 30 of his ex Ministers and mates are now on quasi Government boards.

Dan is sociopathic.

Mate, you still don’t get it. Stewie, LSWCHP, Peachy, others above (and other threads) tried to tell you a basic fact: there is a job, and there is a profession.

A job can be held by anyone, with minimal specialist training that can be learned on the job, in tech school, online, or in plastic surgeon’s office. These jobs are largely based on looks and gift of the gab, because they are service jobs, sales.

A profession is something to be learned in an institution of higher learning – doctor, engineer, teacher. Can you point out some standouts who were naturally blessed with extraordinary ability to just grasp this higher stuff? Maybe. They are the exceptions rather than the rules. Ugly smart kids will win here every single time. And some of those ugly smart kids will invent some stuff and become wildly rich ugly smart kids and will have to fight off a line of people with tits and a nice smile who want to fuck them just to get access to the bank.

So, either get a pair of tits, learn a trade on the job, or go to uni. Otherwise, all other less qualified people will be getting ahead of you. Even those spitting villains of yours will soon grow old enough to receive “sit down money”.

OzCuck

Yeah every town and country on earth has an incrowd. It might be nice to get a big management job at channel 7 like Howard’s son got, he also married a model I think. But yeah dream on. Gotta do real work.

stagmal

i don’t agree they’ll win every time

cognition has some casuality within the labor market, but it’s much less meritocratic than most people actually think (or ideally should be)

really the absolute hierarchy of useful characteristics in the labor market are in this relative order

1) connections (usually family)
2) looks or conforming to stereotypes re: a given job
3) cognition

all might be more useful than another in a given circumstance but the absolute determinants of the variance in outcomes are in that particular order

the IR literature seems to agree esp: re: stereotypes, it’s one of the reasons why it is so hard for old(er) laid off cunts to find work and why structural unemployment is so pernicious and difficult for governments to deal with

stagmal

cognition is a really important factor for the variance in incomes BETWEEN societies but its relative value drops off within societies to a degree

Stewie

For the individual IQ is less of a determining factor of success, being born smart and poor doesn’t mean you will necessarily turn out a success. It increases your chances but there are other factors over which you have no control, including plain old bad luck, that can hold you back. For societies collectively and all those that live in them, there is nothing more important to their overall quality of life, safety and wealth than median IQ.

Coming

im pretty sure that multiple studies show IQ is the best predictor of income

better predictor than education, grades etc

stagmal

education/grades derive much of their predictive power from IQ, which itself derives its predictive power from the hierarchal apex factor you extract from the variance in IQ test scores (the so called general factor or g) using factor analysis

IQ is better at predicting incomes between societies than within societies IMO

within societies it is also itself proxying other traits (such as connections), there’s also the fact that incomes don’t necessarily follow IQ linearly, especially beyond a certain point, or at least for the majority of people

some of the most well renumerated professions are not very g-loaded, and some relatively modestly (or high variance) renumerated professions are especially g-loaded

Coming

well quite frankly that isn’t true and I will go back at some point and I will find the twitter post from the IQ-sphere that shows that IQ is the best predictor of income

either you aren’t high IQ, or you are limited by other intrinsic factors eg mental illness

(or just an edge case)

stagmal

quite frankly it is true lol

IQ is much better for predicting group outcomes rather than individual outcomes

its a very good predictor, one of the best (who is saying otherwise), but being a good predictor of something as highly multi-variant as income doesnt mean that much for given individual cases

i think you think i’m thinking something i’m not thinking

stagmal

i really have nfi how this blew up from a statement re: that the job market isn’t as meritocratic as IQcels think it it, which was in reference to albo literally proving that which is what everyone was bitching about in the first place

p.s: reading comprehension is a fairly g-loaded characteristic

think about that for a second

Coming

Can’t be fucked finding it but you’re completely wrong

stagmal

I think IQ for the record is probably the best predictor or maybe second best predictor compared to examples of parents who can very clearly get their kids jobs (like albo)

the looks thing is funny but i doubt its really a better predictor of incomes at least than IQ even if it would still be a very good predictor, unfortunately

so what exactly am i wrong about

the fact that i think IQ is a better predictor for group outcomes than individual outcomes?

Stewie

Education and grades use to perform like an IQ test – the goal was success and knowledge, and those with high IQs generally performed best.

But as the goals of education changed to from that to ‘learning’ and ‘growth’ the correlation with educational success and IQ has weakened.

the arborist

You’re right, but lots of jobs have been elevated to profession status such as ‘Human Resource Management’ and ‘Marketing’.

stagmal

it’s just semantic games with the word ‘job’ vs ‘profession’

Gruppenführer Mark

Don’t disagree. But speaking things into happening doesn’t make them so.

Point was, there are real professions that require real skills that must be gained through higher education, and no level of nepotism, cup size or the like will make the candidate beat the experience and education.

Rocket surgery is not something one picks up on YouTube.

Like the old joke goes… Some company bought some new whizz-bang machine, all computer driven, HR and management are extatic, lower costs, higher productivity, nirvana.

The machine breaks, the management calls every expert, they are lost. So then someone remembers old Billy Bob, who knew his way around things. They bring him in, he walks around the machine, looks inside, grabs a mallet, makes some measurements with the tape, puts a mark in one spot, whacks the machine with the mallet, and it’s up and running again. Management rejoices.

Two weeks go by, the company receives an invoice for services rendered, $20,000. Cue the outrage, emails fly demanding explanation for the amount charged for 15 minutes of work.

Week later, breakdown of the fee arrives. $50 for the mallet work, $19,950 for knowledge where to apply the mallet.

Agreed. I was just pointing out the term ‘profession’ has been dragged through the mud and can be used correctly (as you did) or incorrectly (as general society uses it).

They’re coming for your Super, make no mistake.

We’re fucked either way.

If you’re in an Industry fund Labor will grabs those funds for their own projects, bye bye decent returns there. It’s all about rewarding Union mates with more projects, they then give their members funds back, then splurge and waste on public housing etc. Labor have always been great with Finances…pfft.

If you’re smart enough to want to dictate your own life, they’ll keep attacking your SMSF’s as they have. Call them rich bastards etc. with pathetic culture war shit, then strip away any benefits and ramp up the costs. Soon it just won’t be worth the fight of having one.

the arborist

True. To be fair though, have SMSFs been used as a tax avoidance measure as opposed to being used as a retirement nest egg?

Not that I’m pro tax, but SMSFs are yet another avenue that cashed up people use to avoid tax that isn’t available to poorer people.

As usual, the lowest and highest income people avoid tax, and the middle are bled dry until they join those at the bottom. Sounds kinda WEF-y to me.

I have no doubt SMSFs are a good thing in general, but are being rorted.

Drago

Rorted is a very subjective term, think Kerry Packer’s comments to a Senate Committee where he classically said, “I pay whatever tax I am required to pay under the law, not a penny more, not a penny less… if anybody in this country doesn’t minimize their tax they want their heads read because as a government I can tell you you’re not spending it that well that we should be donating extra.”

In EZFKA, SMSF’s are one of the last true bastions of independence and freedom, many who have been wage slaves themselves, and either luckier and or smarter than others. What is the rort if they are managed well and provide for a good independent retirement? That’s what they are meant to do, and that relieves the burden on taxpayer support.

The elites have so much cash they can avoid tax and have great lives, that means both politicians and corporate heavyweights. Labor band Green politicians avoid tax as well and as much as anyone.

The working poor and middle class are otherwise fucked, they have no chance of independence or freedom, they pay way too much tax.

the arborist

Yeah, I get all that, but SMSFs are being used as a tax avoidance vehicle by people who don’t actually need an SMSF.

If we accept misuse of SMSFs, we also have to accept everything that goes on with negative gearing.

If pushing the boundaries of the rules to your own advantage is ok, we have to accept that everything that Gerry Harvey, Dan Andrews, Anthony Albanese, Rupert Murdoch, Klaus Schwab, Judaism, Islam, etc do is also ok. Where do you draw the line?

Gruppenführer Mark

From a personal perspective, SMSF have a place where a person has time and brains to manage his/hers money. Generally, this takes one of two shapes. First, property investment that one buys and largely forgets. Second, moving in and out of various securities, that take a tremendous amount of time for research, market timing, the works. Some, of course, will buy BHP or Telstra because dividends, but that is more akin to set and forget.

I have tried SMSF and found that for me, personally, the results did not justify the time invested + accountant fees, etc. I wasn’t operating with a huge sum, it was above 100K minimum “recommended” but below your average property price. So to generate returns would require me to invest time, which is finite, for the sake of potentially superior returns to what could be gained by working the market. Honestly, time spent on other things was more valuable to me then than picking securities, being in FT job. I did ok, but if I included time cost, I lost compared to a managed fund with low fees.

Again, personal perspective. It is for the same reason I don’t do laundry except for socks and jocks, taking shirts to a service where a shirt would set me back $5. Or cleaning outside of vacuum and mop.

This was one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned in life so far – know the value of your time. I’d rather spend hours with a book, enriching my brain, or in the kitchen, knowing that what I put in my body and in bodies of loved ones will reap way more rewards than ironing a shirt.

Not really replying to your post, just a rant. Maybe when I retire I’ll have time to chase stocks, but I doubt it.

Freddy

Nearly halfway through this video. Whilst he says a few truths, my initial thought is he is doing exactly what he says the fake-trader mentors are doing. That is, pretending to be an expert and then profiting from training:

https://itpm.com/education/

What alerted me to the grift is his comments that “successful traders trade all markets”. Complete bs. Soros (FX), James Simmons (Equities), etc. The objective is to find a trading edge. You may find many trading edges in different markets that are not really worth your time, but eventually you will find one and invest the bulk of your time trying to maximise it. Once you have milked it for all you can, you may target another edge in another market, but no way in hell all markets.

stagmal

i knew someone was going to say something like that, and i agree and wasn’t that interested in the spruiking of his own service, but the way he described how brokerages work etc was genuinely eye opening and in my experience i’d believe it. so many retail investors will only ever tell you about their successes and not the times or years they’ve blown up their money or didn’t make sh1t, at the end of the day for most it’s a casino. even for those who never lost if you compared their results to an index (especially over a long enough period of time) you’d see they’re not really doing much better than if they had just put it in a mutual fund.

stock analysis doesn’t inspire me most of the time either; frequently if there’s an argument in favour of an equity there’s an inverse argument that’s equally as logical. even for the greats of the industry many of them i’m sure are skating by a lot of the time with access to insider information that isn’t available to peasants like you and me.

It seems you actually have no idea what I wrote. Let me elaborate. Discretionary Trading is what your average punter does in choosing individual stocks to buy.

Non-discretionary is using an algorithm to tell you what to buy. There is no discretion. You buy it.

I wonder what will happen to his African business empire. This level of chaos around Wagner must have really undermined their reliability as a security force.

If the official story is true, Prigo went all-in to take over Russia itself. Putin’s regime pretty much kills any semi-serious dissident figures, hence billionaires regularly falling out of windows and political opponents dying violently as soon as they get any following. Maybe because they were mates, Putin let Prigo amass more power than he would allow for other people and that culminated in the coup attempt.

Don’t know if anyone remembers our previous discussions but Turkey had a regime change at its central bank and installed an ex Goldman Sacha banker in June

they then increased their interest rates suddenly after the last guy left rates stable for a long time

as soon as they lifted rates the following inflation reading shot up , after having been falling for the previous 9 months straight

Interesting

The annual inflation rate in Turkey rose for the first time in 9 months to 47.8% in July 2023 from 38.2% in June, and above market forecasts of 47.3%, as several tax hikes and the lira depreciation pushed prices higher. Main upward pressures came from housing & utilities (19.3% vs 14.8%), transportation (43.4% vs 21%), furnishings, household equipment (50.1% vs 43.2%) and health (75.9% vs 65.7%). Food inflation also surged to a 4-month high of 60.7% (vs 53.9%). Additionally, the core rate climbed to an eight month high of 56.1% in July from 47.4%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices soared by 9.5%, the biggest increase since January last year. The central bank of Turkey recently forecast inflation will hit 58% by the end of the year.

I guess it’s better than the 86% (reported) inflation back in october 22, but still terrible.

But 50% of Hospo staff at least seem to be basically unskilled and provide very menial work for little to no value. No wonder in Chinese and Japanese restaurants I keep seeing shitty little robot waitress things.

I reckon 5% of all Hospo staff (ie. only in high end places that have a basic self worth) do they seem to care, I’d challenge anyone to show me the value most add above the shitskin in the servo pushing me to buy a snickers bar with my fuel.

Commercial rents especially so, Retail propadee is largely bought and sold purely on the yield achievable. The ¥ewish have always been strongly represented as landlords in that sector, and it’s what made the Lowy family’s Westfield the pride of Israel.

EZFKA has only been able to really benefit from Italians over the years in terms of restaurants, the upper end restaurants however are just old fashioned nightclubs where it’s all about being seen there. There is no value for money and basic quality as there is overseas. Asian food is largely slop, and Indian is lucky to qualify as basic food. I can’t see why anyone would import 3rd world food ‘culture’ (meals, cooking style, etc) or anything really.

LSWCHP

I love cooking, and regularly do a variety of ethnic styles. French provincial, French Haute, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai…you name it. And I almost always make better meals than I’ve found at restaurants around the world. Most restaurant food in Australia is average at best and very expensive.

Not a big trawler of Tucker Carlson – I’ve watched maybe one to maybe two & a half of his 18 episodes. But today I watched my 3rd, his 19th episode in which he interviews Trump – supposedly now the biggest most watched interview of all time, with over 160m views:

https://twitter.com/i/status/1694513603251241143

Which while listening watching it I stumbled upon some earlier fringe theory put out by Tucker in January 23 on how Richard Nixon was deposed and replaced with the unelected deep state President:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2JMsZa7f6c

or if you prefer reading, the original transcript that I first came across it was here:

I knew some of these things, but so far all the factual items in the story have panned out. It is just the alternative interpretation of the narrative, using those same facts, is the one that is suppressed.

In particular, it is the ‘facts’ or connections that the media chooses to leave out. Facts, like Woodward’s “Deep Throat” being an FBI department head who was in charge of a department to discredit political opponents of the US Government. These connections, ignored by history because it was ignored by the ‘media’, make alternative interpretations of that same event being more credible.

The narrative is set by the media, after which it becomes ‘history’.

The Leftards in EZFKA are just mental, evil little pricks.

Worked in a butcher shop from aged 12, normal working class upbringing, then worked as a cop and saw a fair bit. He’s pretty blunt, doesn’t see everyone as being worthy of any compassion.

The Left have gone fucking mental, they want the host cancelled.

They can’t stand their ABC would have any balance, let alone allow a chance for Dutton to talk and be seen as a normal bloke. Worse still, allow him to say what he thinks.

Can understand the rage from the left – the first two episodes have featured conservative independent Dai Le and Dutton.

But past seasons of the show involved members from all the parties, even including the likes of Clive Palmer and Ricky Muir. At some stage I expect politicians from Labor, Greens and the Teals will get a run – and when that happens the right will arc up, and those on the left currently raging will be predictably silent.

Anything involving politicians is always going to include a degree of spin and BS, and this sort of show to promote their stage crafted personas is no different. At worst it’s soft propaganda, but OTOH people complain they don’t get much insight into what our politicians are about so provides that kind of purpose too.

ABC 4 Corners and its ABC reporters couldn’t give a fuck 5 minutes ago, are now obsessed about footy.

It’s clear this is another EZFKA tradition or institution they want to destroy, and what’s funnier is the AFL have tried desperately to virtue signal to these types for a while now (and clearly that’s still not good enough).

No chance anyone in the AFL or fans will call this out as bullshit and just an attempt to wreck their game. The media don’t give a fuck about a Gay player either, they’ll be a handy pawn for them, clicks for their revenue stream.

Australia’s real estate industry is the go-to sector for money laundering and more professionals should be compelled to report dodgy transactions, an anti-corruption group says.

Transparency International Australia says a flow of dirty money into the country could be pushing house prices up even higher but the real estate industry disputes the claim.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12451395/Australian-property-market-Fears-dirty-money-contribute-house-price-rises-costs-soaring-Sydney-Brisbane-Melbourne.html

The FATF has been slamming Australia for years for it’s weak anti-money laundering rules and nothing much has ever been done about it. I wonder why.

Since the assessment of the effectiveness of Australia’s measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, the country has been in an enhanced follow-up process. The country reported back to the FATF in 2018 on the actions it had taken to strengthen its AML/CFT framework. As a result of this report, the FATF rerated the country on 7 of the 40 Recommendations.  

Today, the country is compliant with 12 Recommendations, largely compliant with another 12 Recommendations, but remains partially compliant with 10 Recommendations and non-compliant with 10.

Stuff the country full of unwanted third world migrants and make it so that nobody in their right mind would invest in housing for them, why not, what could go wrong.

Politicians around the world are playing that game where you don’t step on the cracks or lines in the footpath… and the cracks or lines are policies that worked in the past and normal people actually fucking want.

theres almost no point in saying anything any further

immigration is more of a human right (especially if youre not white) to most westoid elites than free speech

it isnt even just about the wages, asset prices and other economic effects it has, its a moral necessity to have an immigration program

simple as, it’s why you cant convince any of these die hards with any good argument against it, even if you could show them incontrivertibly its harmful in some way they wouldnt gaf

and most normie critics of immigration dont want it to stop anyway they always couch their criticisms of it in shit like needing to stop/reduce it temporarily so “the infrastructure catches up” and whatnot, very few people truly want it to stop entirely for the same reason its cheerleaders dont; its a human right

No1

It’s not even just immigration. Every kind of remotely sensible policy or statesmanship seems to be like an elephant in the room now.

The housing problem, back in the 60s governments used to vigorously build either social housing or private housing that they would sell at below market prices to FHBs. As far as I know, no Western government is doing that anymore and there’s no serious consideration of it being done.

The Ukraine War, there’s still pretty much no suggestion that this war actually be resolved via realistic negotiations that don’t involve Ukraine getting back all of its post-Soviet territory plus demilitarising Russia, despite the huge cost to Europe of this war continuing.

There’s no permissible debate on anything of importance anymore in the Western world and the traditional media won’t even mention that in the near past there was a functional alternative to these horrible policies now being forced on everyone. It’s some real Soviet-style shit where the base assumption is that the party is always right and anything that contradicts that by implication doesn’t exist.

The trans horseshit is the peak example of the end of western civilisation for mine.

Almost anything else can be rationally debated in some way, but declaring that men can be women and vice versa is just utter batshit crazy denial of reality.

Anybody who makes or supports such claims is insane. If I was king I’d probably have anybody espousing transgenderism shot on the spot for the good of society. That’d put a stop to that nonsense chop chop.

Lucky for them I’m not king, I suppose.

In regard to immigration rights, there was an all-time classic stupid quote in Twitter last week that was suggesting Democracy being a veto of Globalisation and should not be allowed to happen. This is how fucking stupid lefties have become.

Easy. Anyone can self identify as aboriginal no issues mate.

I have been watching some Spanian vids. This story is scary. In NSW you can be locked up for having anything on you worth more than $130 and being unable to produce a receipt.

stagmal

holy shit i listened to that

doesnt surprise me at all he was clearly being stereotyped in the situation by the cops based on his appearance etc

i’ve heard of this happening before to people too

Aussie Soy Boy

Yeah no shit he was stereotyped. The cops sixth sense was correct because he’s a low life violent criminal.

By the time he was twelve, Spanian knew he would follow his family’s footsteps to become a career criminal. What followed was a decade-long string of brazen crimes and brutal violence: stabbings, ram-raids, drug runs and a notorious high school siege.

stagmal

fantastic story teller but

pretty fucked thing that police can just do this to you though, all the more reason to keep your head down in the ezfka and not draw attention with bullshit like tatts etc

Aussie Soy Boy

https://www.armstronglegal.com.au/criminal-law/nsw/offences/goods-in-custody/

The cops only go after dirty lebos who deal in stolen goods.

stagmal

given it was an ipod this story likely happened quite a long time ago, in the video he says hes 43 and it was uploaded a few years ago

so probably around the mid-late 2000s when people still used ipods

Freddy

I don’t think he was stereotyped. The cops would have known exactly who he was and their way of keeping him on a leash.

They have similar powers elsewhere. e.g., highway patrol can pull you over and defect your car for many trivial things like tiny scratch/fraying on seatbelt, washer fluid bottle on half-filled.

Coming

If we had a real country he would have been too terrified to commit crimes because of the risk of corporal punishment

but he was in and out of juvie and prison which was just a holiday camp

Aussie Soy Boy

Haha as if a cop is ever going ask someone that doesn’t look like a dirty, greasy, ex-con, Lebo turd. Don’t tattoo your face dumb dumb if you don’t want attention from the cops.

Coming

This is what you get from public housing

he has multiple videos of him going back to the housing commission

it’s filled with absolute scum

given us albo and Spanian
two dumb entitled fuckwits

stagmal

tbh this is a good point about albo

if he never had public housing access he may have never gone anywhere in life bc he wouldnt have been proximate to the cbd

could have set off a butterfly effect chain reaction that led to him being pm, its very likely

imagine if he had ended up growing up in some shit hole like dubbo or some outer suburb instead

OzCuck

Apparently he stabbed a guy in school to “impress the girls”. Some people are only a split second away from serious violence.

Anyway he makes good vids so whatever. Violence is hardly the only evil in the world.

He tries all these foods around Sydney that noone can be fucked doing because you have to drive an hour to get anywhere. Trying say 5 burger joints would be like a 12 hour day.

stagmal

yeah he’s very entertaining

good on him for turning things around with these vids

OzCuck

Yeah just watching people talk shit and eating food or travelling is often better than anything now.

I just watched Harald Baldr have a haircut for an hour.

stagmal

compare his unpretentious editing style to someone like friendlyjordies

no fucking annoying music, no cuts or little breakaway clips/gifs imposed over the top, adhd jokes every 2 seconds breaking the topic being discussed etc its just a guy talking shit into a cam in random places, and its refreshing compared to what is usually on yt these days

Freddy

yeah there is some authenticity to his vids.

Actually, I find more authenticity with lower-middle class people in general … except the blonde variety that want to kill me because I have darker hair.

OzCuck

I think Jordies will always provide at least some value. Sure he’s a Labor shill but he’s overall reasonably red pilled.

You only have to provide a bit more value than the MSM and it feels like way more.

stagmal

cant stand him the cunt went totally AWOL during covid it was the most pathetic thing ever

itd be like being a live vlogger during ww2 in the UK or something and not mentioning the war once the entire time

OzCuck

Jordies just did some much needed damage to crypto scum.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kWPjBmPXIs&ab_channel=friendlyjordies

Drago

The only thing worse than that whiny annoying Labor shill FJordy are his fags for fans.

Guy is a total coward, had the platform but shirked it all Covid and since.

His pokie vids were just ok.

Takes just the easy shots, even Barilaro was pretty harmless (did he really get his house firebombed, really?).

stagmal

if he had come out criticising lockdowns, mandates etc it’d of been bye bye access to all the labor insiders he gets to rub shoulders with including rudd, hes explicitly interested in career climbing (he says so on his other channel Jordan Shanks – he’s a self-help tony robbins style devotee), he basically has very few principles outside of the ALP paradigm

i dont know why anyone wants to listen to him so much

Coming

Tbh he’s a very odd character and I would have been interested to hear the PSL community assessment of him

he was a male model
(though to me he’s not really attractive enough to be a model)

but he seems like a weird drama fag

and he dates Asian girls which is usually for the ugliest of white guys and incels

and he’s into politics which is strictly for the ugliest people who are still narcissists

and he’s into self improvement and Tony robins which is not something that anyone good looking enough to be a male model should ever need to be involved with

The90kwbeast

End of the day everyone has their biases, country is still probably a better place with him around

OzCuck

Yeah he is primarily a Labor shill but he’s still better than the MSM. They generally hate him so he’s obviously doing some good.

His skits are pretty good too imo.

I don’t think he makes out like he’s some big saviour or anything.

lmao this guy is a complete psycho

Drago

What a total POS. But at least he’s not a journalist.

Drago

This is pretty good, look him up for the thread.
