Trumps just gonna keep him hanging hoping he’s in the inner circle and bleeding him dry in the process.

Her take on the cost of living crisis was that it was good that I wouldn’t have the issue of hoarding things like her, as I would never be able to afford them in the first place.

Lmao. You’ll be so poor you wont be able to buy things. Great flex, boomer.

I went to Aldi yesterday and they do really good prices with the limited options the my had. Example.

Sea salt chips big bag:

• Woolies: on special from $6 down to $3.60
• Aldi: always $2.99

So they do better than the half price specials at the majors.

Politics in one simple chart. Sigh.

There’s an outbreak in NZ as well. Seems like we’ve let other vaccinations drop after COVID :(

Great list. Might I humbly add Peachy Keen or Cinnamon Lip from Pollyanna.

Fucking hell SA

This screams “look we’re doing something about the cost of living crisis!” energy without tackling the major influences in the cost of living like housing and grocery prices.

Absolutely. Great idea.

He’s getting grilled about that now on 7:30 report!

That is amazing.

Because while the sun is up it’s extraordinarily hot and the UV is high. The more north you go, the hotter it is in the evenings and the less it makes sense.

Exactly. That’s why we’re an early morning city. Once the sun is up it’s too hot to do anything.

I’m trying to lift my mood with upbeat electronica but it’s not working. Maybe classic rock is the go to. Have a good one anyway 👍

Doing the same! What music you listening to?

The elastic strap is a good idea. I have a couple of giant daiso bags that fit like 3 supermarket bags in them. Keeps them together and makes it a ton easier to carry instead of trying to loop 6 different bags through your fingers.
