Cameron Miller
young industry, requiring serious investments to increas the yeld, don't know if its worth it when you can get it from papua new guinea for cheaper
yes
Gabriel Gutierrez
That's pretty interesting. So why then is coffee still so expensive here?
Levi Torres
Australia grows coffee?!
Isaiah Lewis
It’s probably still expensive to import it, just less expensive than home production
Mason Foster
because you get cucked and still import most of your coffee beans I guess?
don't know if having local produce would help the prices fall down, maybe the increased aviability would help lower rarity of it

Shit just like this, this weekend I took a deep dive into bats, some streetview in Mauritius and watched about 20 Aramaki project videos

Coffee is a relatively small Australian plant industry. The total area planted is approximately 520 ha grown by approximately 155 growers in north-eastern New South Wales and Queensland. Production is approximately 1040 tonnes per year (Foster, 2014).
Those are rookie numbers, barely over a 1000 tonnes

Everythings expensive here because they can mark up everything because we have good wages
Caleb Morales
but if we have good wages and so they increase the price then whats the point of a higher wage? it just ends up costing the same

We're still better off with purchasing power but also it keeps everything like the housing bubble and domestic consumption going so we can have jobs even though we make fuckall
Mason Sanders

Companies can get away with charging more because our governments answer to western corporations primarily.They use "high" wages as an excuse when in reality they use a stable middle class family with two salaried incomes supporting the household as though it's the norm for the entire country, thus providing the impression that your average Australian has so much disposable income that we won't notice.
Internet shopping has done a fair bit of damage to this myth of the high purchasing power of your average aussie and large brick and mortar businesses have been screeching autistically, demanding online mobs like Ebay, Gumtree or Amazon be forced to "compete fairly" with "local businesses". We're not talking about the local music shop, fish and chips or hardware store, we're talking about the CEO of David Jones throwing a tantrum on prime time TV about their business model and by extension the average Australian, being under attack.
Talking heads from right wing think tanks also try to justify entry level award rate wage stagnation and our high living costs with economies of scale, suggesting that shit is expensive because importing is expense thanks to not importing enough. This is complete bullshit because these same paid off fuckwits are also lobbying on behalf of BHP and Rio Tinto, to get the government to give them massive tax subsidies on their import/export activities. If economies of scale was relevant than our largest corporate importers and exports are the last business entities that should be granted special tax breaks that in effect cost the tax payer billions quarterly. These same resource mobs end up paying next to no tax, offshore their profits in tax havens and are largely owned by American investors.

Ryan Russell
St Pierre and Miquelon is interesting
Jayden Powell
Thanks, I'll look that one up tonight.

There doesn't seem to be an English wiki page, but
ja.wikipedia.org
It's an island several hundreds kilometres South, South East of Okinawa and over a thousand kilometres from Tokyo. They not only have internet but fibre speeds and all the plans have fully unlimited 4G LTE usage, with the fibre speeds having data restrictions. That's better than anything my country has to offer and it's the equivalent of being on a small island a few hundred kilometres west of Tasmania. It's mind blogging how well digitally connected East Asia is.

Going down the rabbit hole

Browse Zillow to look at homes for fun and street view around them or just random neighborhoods in my city or the country.
Adrian Rodriguez
I do the same mate. Not many houses up to my standards though.

Good post
Jason Price
To be honest I'm just tired of the "Australia has high wages so you can easily afford anything" maymay.
