Hi Paul1405,
'The job you have when you don't have a job'
its not really that hard to figure out, it's not like I've done anything amazing, just used logic in looking for a solution.

In truth though its only the age of internet, smart phones and apps that make my idea possible.

If apps, and for example airbnb can allow one to have 'the home you have when you don't have a home' then it's apps that can create the backbone of 'the job you have when you don't have a job'.
Its apps that could allow one to learn whats required / or provide the training required for a particular job shift, and confirm / accept a particular job shift with the use of both a smartphone and a digital resume that could determine what job tasks you are skilled to perform.

It's internet, apps and smartphones that make my idea possible, from where it was once impossible.

Other countries seem to want to go down the Universal Basic Income route, but I don't think thats the answer.
These ideas were dreamed up by other countries that don't have a good form of medicare like we have, so they don't really think about things in a way that we can.

Once you have base-level education and healthcare, it's much easier to see that the missing piece is a job to pay for these other luxuries.

But people who don't see the merit in my idea, or never considered it think the way to manage the budget is to get rid of medicare, and bring us back to a 1 legged barstool, when it needs to go the other way, education, healthcare, and a job.

Cars.
Yes, cars can by the lynch-pin in which many adolescents 'fail to launch' properly.
I've known people whose whole lives were built around drugs and welfare, simply because they didn't get a car and some real independence to build on when they were young.
- Basically they couldn't even put one foot in front of the other in their lives and never got anywhere, just became a lifelong burden on the other members of society who were paying.
They ended up couch-surfing and bludging off others until they wore out their welcome, living a carefree life of drugs when they could get away with it in their teens and 20's, until they had no-one left anymore in their 30's and ended up in the half-way house / men's lodge.

If the government created some kind of plan to make it easier for adolescents to get licenses and cars (and independence) things could've been a whole lot different for them, and they may have become contributing members of society, instead becoming of a burden on it.
So yes, I agree with you cars are a big part of the solution.

And the government auctions off thousands of them every year.
I'm sure there's a workable solution there somewhere.

Just flicked on the news...
Scomos saying 'Labor CAN'T manage the economy'
Albos saying 'We NEED a change of government.'

Democracy's flawed, its not really working for us
We need to lock the whole bloody lot of them in Parliament House and say:
"You're not coming out!".
"You can all stay in there until you stop grandstanding and blaming each other and arguing for the sake of it;
When you can stop disagreeing and come up with some REAL policies that BENEFIT ALL OF US
- Then we'll let you out!
Until you come up with some good policies together, you can all stay in there FOREVER!"

A few days ago I heard about a terminally ill man who realised this will be his last opportunity to vote in a Federal election.

After a lifetime of voting for either of the main parties he decided to consult his adult grandchildren to see what was in their best long term interests rather than his own immediate ones and eventually declared this time he will be voting for the Greens.

Politicians only look as far ahead as the next election (except for China which thinks in terms of generations ahead) but voters are much the same. Up to 10% of voters only decide when they enter the voting booth and in a democracy it only takes two morons to outvote a genius.

This is no ordinary election. The decision Australians
make this Saturday will determine the path this country
takes through one of the most treacherous decades that
they will have faced. As Tony Windsor recently pointed
out: " We cannot afford a second decade of inertia."

This is the time for journalists to hold our politicians to
account, not only for their future promises, but for their
past deeds and failures. Neglect, corruption and incompetence
cannot be allowed to fester unseen.

Good journalism can also give us hope for a better future by
examining bold policy vision and giving credit for good
ideas when its due.

People have a right to make an informed choice at the ballot
box.

No matter which reptiles slither into government, it looks like they will be signing up to the globalisation of Covid control and regulation by the WHO. Another step towards loss of control by sovereign governments to World Government (UN). This will suit the likes of Albanese and Morrison of course, because they can dodge the responsibility, like Morrison passed the buck onto the states so that he would look better.

Do not think for one moment that anyone in the political class will fight for us against world government. They will still get the big bucks, but deny responsibility.

Anyone with a real interest in what will happen to their country pretty damn soon will search for this information. I am not going to waste my time detailing it just to have the usual bozos rabbit on about the 'far right' and publications they automatically deem incorrect because they are 'conservative'.
