"All to do with government policy and the failures since [----]. AUD lost 97% of buying power Inflation +1300% Governments let debt across households grow uncontrollably each trying to keep the scam going rather than take the political hit to try and reverse the decline.

"They were in the right place at the right time. Right-wing populism is on the rise and the failure ofthe centre parties in Australia since 1970s has eroded their trust away. On the economy John was one of the biggest wreckers and should take responsiblity. 97% buying of AUD gone and inflation up +1300 in this era has a price https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019668469558739026 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019668469558739026"

"This is as disjointed as a Family Guy segway joke. Hey peter its like the time you went to capital hill to talk up the enviroment but had to recycle the sign from Megs 5th grade debate homework and when no one showed up Chris had to use chat GPT to make a crazy rebuttle wih a single point of truth.

"No one's job has been replaced yet by the current phase of AI. CEOs will say we are cutting jobs because we are going to do the work with AI but there is no evidence of phase two the implementation of AI. Companies over hired for years and with declining revenue must cut ineffective costs. But you cant say we fucked up and are bad at hiring people so it gets wrapped in spin. Right now that is "AI". I haven't found an example YET where Ai was truly the reason. If you know some examples i would love to know them"

"No this wont work because the economy isnt in equilibrium. Australian governments are not good at economic management as the Australian voter rewards policies that go against running in equilibrium. Since [----] AUD lost 97% buying power and inflation up more than 1300%. I am not defending the minister she is doing a terrible job. I am highlighting what the conversation should be about if we really want to repair our country. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020065942697627855 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020065942697627855"

"I haven't seen any evidence for salesforce or IBM replacing role function with AI open to being proven wrong. Not familiar with the other two will do some digging. These layoffs are just part of "right sizing" dealing with years of bad management. Twitter/X when 90% of stuff were fired and site stayed up was a rally call to all in the valley. Only heard Zuck so far publicly admit it demonstrated they had been managing teams wrong. When the Ai layoffs start I think Q3 this year we will know. It will be a phrase of consistent firing not planned batches that meet balance sheet reporting"

"The actual figure is higher i choose the bottom of the range. Look it up. But your argument is results like 97% AUD decline and 1300% inflation since are results Australians can be proud of. I say it proves our goverment is broken and has been for a long time (55 years of shit government). I say this is what the conversation needs to be about if we want to fix the economy and almost everything else is a distraction. Housing and cost of living can only be solved if the framework fixes this insane intergenerational standards decline. Now cause I love my country i bring this up and dont pretend"
