free shit to fight corona edition
/brit/ + /aus/
*Synthesises this in the lab*
the way china is saying all its new cases are imported, lol, they way they are saying that now after exporting a virus around the globe, cheeky cunts hope Italy and Italians rise up out of the tissues like a phoenix and gives every slant eye what for
Statewide lockdown announced for Victoria
You ready lads?
need a qt paki gf
imagine believing china's numbers at all lmao
they reached 80,000 cases 2 weeks ago and every single day since they've announced new ones in sets as 20 or 30 daily with 1 or 2 deaths
subhuman lying bug people
Nationwide cuckdown for wypipo
We're full
>self-isolating
redpill me on the green part of the northern island
North Korea has 0 cases get your act together
what the fuck does that even mean? Tying your money up in shares and long term investments? Jewing out on the real estate market? The dumb and desperate will actually put that money back into the economy.
I've been hanging for it. This year will actually turn out great
need a jewish gf
*mogs you*
fuck sake
they still have people dying from smallpox and polio they dont know or care about this zoomer virus
Just need a qt I can snatch off the street to be my quarantine gf/housemaid.
Nobody is going to put money into the economy if there stuck at home and everything is closed
need an white ethnostate with the death penalty for things i find distasteful
only downside to the virus is i cant go and see prostitutes, might need to think about fixing my life
Victoria gets so mogged by NSW and QLD border-wise, like they're both squeezing down on it and its just accepted that it's a midget
No they don't
thats distasteful cya at the gallows, woah you look a bit tanned cya at the gallows
Yes, they absolutely do.
Based or cringe?
Victoria loves that shit though. They love being at the bottom of a sweaty, gay furpile.
in all seriousness though we do need an ethnostate, and jewish women aged 18 - 25 should be issued to every hosuehold has a sex maid
Smallpox has been eradicated.
i would run planet earth with an iron fist and i wouldnt let the power go to my head because im an aquarius
Don't they do house visits?
wait the gov is actually doubling unemployment benefits
HOWLING
Reposting from end of last thread because I'm curious about the response
What do you mean by injecting cash long-term? You either spend it or you don't. Are you implying that the smart thing to do with stimulus package money is to hoard it? If you have money to hoard, why are you collecting such benefits? People of every class still have to eat at roughly regular intervals and buy the same basic necessities, I thought the idea that people of higher income should also be given money came from the argument that they're not actually in a position to live off their savings as might be assumed.
To be clear, I do think everyone should be getting supplements right now, but I disagree with the idea that 'poor dumb people' are going to waste it by spending it immediately, or even that spending it would be a waste. For better or worse, the economy relies on spending, that's the point of a stimulus package. Saving/hoarding money that you'd otherwise spend in more stable economic circumstances may be smart for you as an individual, but is selfish and draining for the economy. Ironically that's something that people of higher income are constantly accusing poor people of.
Not in North Korea. We haven't had any national health statistics or any insight into the health of that country since the 1950s, but people who have escaped talk about people dying from easily treatable diseases
Fake news
Not in north korea
lol yeah
government has set aside the rhetoric and are finally coming around to the idea of UBI
based corona-chan
americans are saying thank you for your service to shelf stackers in super markets
I know, I'm so fucking unironically excited. And to think it can all be implemented so fast.
literally no reason to work when i can just get on the dole and harvest $500 every week while engaging in whichever scholarly pursuit interests me at the time
Any form of UBI will be the final nail in the economic coffin. It will transform a partial collapse into a total one.
>A traitor is going to be honest
Hmm... Yes. Do go on.
mental from the LNP of all people
On the topic of a third stimulus package:
>Is that it?
>No. The government says there will be more support coming. Morrison said on Sunday that the first two packages were focused “on those who are going to feel the first blows”, but more would be needed over the next six months. “There will be more packages and more support,” Morrison said.
Economy could retract -20% by the end of the year. Worse than the Great Depression. Get ready for breadlines
>There was limited evidence that social distancing was effective, especially if related to the risk of exposure.
The only difference is that now people aren’t scared of socialist policies.
And once this shit rolls out, it will be near impossible to put in back in the box. People working pointless jobs will be able to stay home and pursue a life that's worth leading. Anyone with a passion for work will continue to do so and earn extra money for their effort.
Neoliberalism contributed to this economic collapse. In ineffciency of the market has been exposed, free marketers has magically disappeared in 2020. Isn't that weird? Its almost like, its not working anymore
>virus causes economic depression
>”it must be because of [thing I don’t like]!”
unemployment bennies are now worth more than the minimum wage
crying of laughter
Not a very good system you got when people ave to run through barbed wire and landmines to get away from it
This whole virus thing is probably great for the gaming industry
What happens to all those delivery drivers and shelf stackers and nurses when UBI gets implemented during the virus? Do you think they're going to continue to work and risk their health when they can get the same money sat at home? No they're going to say fuck this and then everything will collapse.
@ that VF that spams articles about freak examples of young people dying to COVID
>Overall average age of patients who have died in Italy is 78.5 y (median 80 y). ~75% of patients who died had 2+ comorbidities, while 1% had 0 comorbidity
hard to tell, depends whether he was CIA controlled or not
>contributed
Fucking read you retard. It wasn't the cause, but it has done nothing to stem the crisis, and has instead made things worse.
are you referring to me? you didn't even click on the article, did you?
just took the housemates surfboard to the beach and did nae catch a single wave
also got tired with the first 5 minutes
jesus
No, they will get paid their salary + the UBI everyone else gets. Nobody is stupid enough to remove the incentive to work, and no UBI advocate I've eve rheard of is suggesting this either. UBI was always supplemental.to a wage
aha, classic
i'd be the same
it's grim brother, need to get back into shape
Accept they fucking will. Your idea of humanity is one that only does things for rewards. People do things for a million different reasons, for love, for charity, for a sense of purpose, for revenge, for hate etc etc. I fucking guarantee you there will be people that will continue to do jobs like these.
Right so they're literally going to risk their lives and those of their families for marginally better income, literal pennies on the pound? You are either stupid, deluded or both.
>we need the threat of poverty to make people do jobs we don’t wAnt to do
makes you think
Not North Korea's problem.
Newstart requires that you engage in job search efforts constantly until you're working enough hours per week that you meet your benchmark (around 50 hrs per week IIRC). That means you can have a casual job (like I do) that only gives around 10-15 hours per week and still be required to look for jobs to receive benefits.
This is coupled with the fact that to study full-time (any more than 15 contact hours per week) means you may only apply for benefits on Student Income, around $320 per fortnight compared to Newstart/Jobseeker's $570 per fortnight.
I had to shift from full-time to part-time study (doubling the length of my degree and thus how long I'll be needing assistance) in order to continue to receive enough money from Centrelink to pay rent, despite having a job, while also having to look for other jobs because my current job doesn't give me enough hours to meet my benchmark.
Now think about how many places you know that you could afford to rent on a $570 per fortnight budget. (I'm in Adelaide, so nearly none close to uni).
I am insanely thankful for these upcoming supplements, but this is how it should have been long ago. Maybe people will finally realise not everyone on neetbux gets to just chill out on tax dollars.
yeah mate jeff bezos is going to quit his job and get on the bennies if UBI happens
I bodyboard pretty regularly lad, it's hard work. I don't know if you're on the east coast but it's a reasonably chunky swell today. Keep at it, it's fucking great.
Ah right yeah let me get up and start stacking shelves at 6am for 'the love of it'.
>Accept
say it all really
Need a mutt porn gf
>literal pennies on the pound
they are still getting their wages. Nothing changes with their wage under UBI and nobody has suggested otherwise. And people will still want extra money, people will still want to save for mortgages, holidays and cars. Not everybody is this obnoxious transactionalist autist like you hur why should i work when everybody gets money : (((
yeah it was good waves for learners (me) but just could not get in the right headspace for it
will buy my own board and make sure it's a bit bigger i rex
briyewt
No not at all, haven't read the thread
there is no place for the NEETman on the foodchain
You really think some shelf stacker or delivery driver is going to risk getting a horrible virus just so he can afford a holiday? You are some proper sheltered student mong.
mental how people actually live near beaches
boggles the mind
Just let the robots stack the shelves and pay us the ubi. Simple. Automation will fix it all
Why don't you answer the aussie, is Jeff Bezos going to stop working because everyone is getting UBI?
I know it's fucking insane, but they're are people out there that genuinely love that work, no matter how menial it may appear. People like to know they're making a difference, that they are of some use to this world. And why the fuck wouldn't you stack shelves? With the UBI and a wage you're going to be living really well.
Jeff Bezos wouldn't have a job because absolutely nobody would work for Amazon if UBI was a thing
Why are we destroying our economy just to porlong some boomer's lives an extra 5 years?
>With the UBI and a wage you're going to be living really well.
ah yes it's 'I don't understand the tax budget or inflation' hours
I would, and so would many people as the workplace conditions would have to improve if they wanted to retain staff, who could just turn around and say "ill just live off UBI lol"
If anything it gives businesses a kick up the arse, why wouldn't you favour this?
Fuck Scomo, the Liberal Party, the Chief Health Officer, and all other departments of Federal Government. Biggest cunts out there.
Fuck the lefties.
We could've banned foreign cunts from entering this country since the start of the year, but no, we let these pozzed cunts into the country and now I can't even spend money on the pokies anymore. A solitary pursuit. All for foreign cunts to come buy some luxury goods that they could buy in any other country and shoot some wombats.
FUCK SCOMO
well yeah some people still would, extra money on top of the UBI innit
If the workplace conditions improved they'd go out of business
People risk their lives everyday mate. You risk your life getting on the fucking highway. God knows how many people are killed in accidents during holiday time yet they still get out on the roads for a fucking caravan holiday up north.
So governments can enforce a new world order. Only the rich and vaccinated will be allowed outside.
Couldn't really just let 50%+ of over 70s die could we?
>Scomo
hello gfberg
muhhh inflation
everyone will get bored of having nothing to do so they'll look for work, but they'll be able to find something they actually like doing instead of menial shit just to pay the rent
BASED Centrist
Fuck the universities that paid for infected wuhan-based students to come in droves for the term
What the fuck does Jeff Bezos have to do with this? Does Jeff Bezos deliver your fucking food? Does he stack the shelves? Will he care for your mum when she's dying from the virus? No he fucking doesn't. You may be able to pay for it, that's an entirely different question (which is in itself highly debatable), but who the fuck will do the labour? You know the trillions and trillions of man hours of manual, back-breaking labour that is required to keep the society whose benefits you enjoy functioning? Is Jeff Bezos going to do it? Is Jeff Bezos going to till the soil on every farm? Is he going to milk every cow? Is he going to drag the coal and iron and copper from the bowels of the Earth? Is he going to do the work of a billion Chinese factory workers working 18 hours a day to produce the endless mountain of consumer shit you ingest every day? No and until you have robots that can do all that you need waged labour.
You are a literal child you have no idea how the world works. Do not reply to me again.
Or maybe he'd be forced to run the kind of company that doesn't treat workers like robots, the kind of place that people don't only work at out of fear of poverty. Maybe he'd be forced to live off only 10 million instead of 100 billion, the poor thing.
You're just identifying further problems in the chain.
... We could.
menial shit is the backbone of the economy
Then they shouldn't be in business then, and should never have been in business if that is what they need to do to survive. Let them go under, its a principle of capitalism after all.
OH WAIT in this instance, there is no way we can change it
Really dumb argument. You absolutely do know Jeff Bezos is a valid point to make, and now you're just floundering and pivoting back over to zero hours contract workers and deliveroo riders because you just can't present a serious argument. sad!
That's the only reason his company works, it bribes politicians, avoids tax and treats people like shit
I'm not against UBI or stopping people like Bezos but at the end of the day we have to admit we'll lose a lot of the convenience of the modern life because that modern convenience is built on the back of exploitation and if you aren't okay with that you have to be okay with losing the benefits too
>It may be hard work, but I'll be damned if I don't love doing it. It's all about passion you know you've got to do what you love
I want to punch an Australian
bruh what an anxiety inducing photo
what if he swings too hard and can't stop the momentum and it goes into his leg or summat
Fucking birds wake me up at 5.30 every morning. Want to start firing off a shotgun out the window
and you're a souless fucking insect. You view the world through the lens of avarice.
you probably wouldn't come out too great afterwards
down to my last hit of heroin
>At the end of the day you've got to do what you love. And for me it's working 18 hour shifts to produce disposable plastic tat for the Western market. It's a labour of love you know
>those comments
