I'm so glad we voted in the left wing of the neoliberal government this time.

Why are we still pushing for coal mines? I would have thought australia would be ideal for solar in certain places.

Well it always is down to something like that, but how depressing. I always think, just how much money do you need?
Also if you are a great business person, why not diversify in what clearly needs to be future tech and infrastructure?

At this point it feels like we are just chemistry and the idea we have control is just an illusion.
