This article was posted shortly before the election but everything in there is still true and seeing his appointees perhaps worse than predicted.

    And your nanny state. Don’t think the rest of the world doesn’t know Aussies clutch pearls hard enough to crush them. Y’all are a stones throw away from Fascism, mates.

      Reasonable regulation is much further from fascism than what the diaper wearing clown who’s been elected president is gonna bring to bear.

        Y’all don’t need any tariffs to make your electronics prices inflated beyond insanity, your backwards ass government already did it lmao.

        Get fucking rekt. Like an Aussie has any right to say they’re better than the USA. Go find a Norwegian and you got a deal.

        • We do have heigher taxes yes. But we also rate heigher on almost all the metrics. Statisticly im smarter than u, more educated than u, heather than u, taller than u, bigger dick than u, will live longer than u, will be happier than you, will be richer than you, have a hotter wife than u, have more sex than u will. Look man not all these are a result of our heigher taxes but it sure as shit helped. And at the end of the day i can become an immigrant and pay my way into ur corrupt system if ever im feeling like im missing out.

            Man, that must have been one wild study…
            You’re not wrong (well except about most of the actual things you asserted) but while retreating to some zany upside-down nationalism to defend your precariously teetering democracy might preserve your sense of superiority over the US, it’s pretty clearly blinding you to the realities of the situation you’re living in.

            Twice. Kek. Hey, insult all you want. I have a no-blocking policy. Mama raised me with a spine.

              Got a bit ashamed by me pointing out your mistake?

              You also can’t see a road. There is some paving, but none that’s broken. That’s two puddles and a patch of snow. So yeah, this isn’t Australia. It’s summer in Australia, and it’s not exactly known for snow in the winter either.

              You proposed a deal. I’m Nordic. Do I have the right to act as if we’re better than the US, as you promised?

              I haven’t attempted to insult you. I apologise for you thinking I did. Idk what you perceived as one?

                We’re so off base at this point, I’m not even sure why you’re arguing with me. Boredom?

                Since we’re really out of material, I’m out. You do you. Maybe we’ll make fun of eachother in another thread down the road,… a better road.

                  One “I pointed out your mistake” later and you’re running with your tail tucked.

                  Get rekt.

                  So, to reiterate, like you promised, I’m allowed to act like my country is better than America?

        … Are you really, though? Meaningfully? It’s looking pretty damn bad for ya’ll, and you seem to have even less political will to fix it than we do. Not saying we’re not worse, but you guys are catching up fast.
