Aidan,
Mr Opinion's too young to remember the two great airlines.

Aidan,

I think you will find that they were the first in achieving CONTROLLED FLIGHT, which nobody had been able to do before they came along.

Mr 0,
That documentary I saw found good evidence to the contrary.

Aidan,
I watched the documentary only a couple or so weeks ago on SBS. Rather interesting without all the indoctrinated waffle of the past.
As I have well & truly made clear over many posts, I'm utterly opposed to greed but I'm just as opposed to hangers-on maligning the companies that keep so many workers employed.
The hangers-on are the perfect hypocrites as none of them employ anyone & they offer nothing of value in return to the society that keeps them !
I'm so opposed for them to be so readily taken up in Public Service positions without any evidence of competence & proof of merit !
I just hope COVID-19 forces change to Public Service employment criteria for the better & exposes the need for a reduction in senior rank salaries !

Every time there is a world crisis there are the same fruit bats that come out to claim that capitalism is dying.

It has survived the last few millennia and is not looking particularly ill now.

Shadow,

What do you have to say about those total economic incompetence, the Liberal/National mob who are saddling Australia with a trillion dollar debt, and 20% unemployment. Your mob make anything Labor did in the past look like a Sunday school picnic. It will take years, even decades, to pay off this reckless Coalition spending. What is your excuse?

BTW ScumO' and Friedbrain look like a couple of Commo's at work, wrecking the economy as they are.
