Jesus, Lemmy, this should be a positive thread not just an opportunity to complain

My county government office is a well oiled machine. Paying for taxes like car tags and property is a no-brainer, in person or online. Last time I got a new driver’s license I was in and out, 10 minutes flat, including the walk to and from my truck. Prices for all of the above are plenty fair.

Naval aviation.

Abandoning public services and privatizing them :(

Corruption

Welfare for giant corporations

Australia is super good at dryland cropping, growing wheat where there’s fuck all water.

Also, digging up red soil and flogging it to China at a rate that you can almost feel the earth’s axis shifting.

Many things. For example, every single president during my lifetime has been almost universally liked by everyone in the country - kind of like a lifetime of Obamas.

A more recent example of something they do well is when I started my business. I received nearly 10 hours of one-on-one personal guidance on how to do it, completely free. They’re also paying me around 600 euros a month for a year to help me get started.

Pulling shit out of the ground and inflating a housing bubble.

Oppress mosquitos

Fucking the working class.

Destroying public services.

The ADA.

Protect rich people at all costs

They handled the pandemic well with regards to small businesses

50% of your normal monthly income, free, no questions asked. That was great lol, sat on my arse for six months

Also, 1% of my taxes get put into a training fund that I can spend on any kind of training I want. Doesn’t have to be relevant to my business at all
