sorry milo just having a vent

Just that every time you read the paper prices up, then polies wage up then rego up then fuel up & up elec insurance up everything up but no more money in our pockets.

English not real good when I wrote this.

Once Fuel Hits $1.60 (As for Diesel) I believe country towns will suffer the most...Shorter trips will be the norm....I, for instance will go no further than Greens lake and Tocumwal......And I will take all that I need as far as Fuel. and plenty plenty of tucker.....I'm sorry too say that! It is going too be very serious....They say New Zealand pays over A Dollar a Litre.....Geez! How can that be comparared to Australia with the distances we have too travel.........

In this corporatised world the fat cats get fatter on the basic spending of the sluggers on the street.
It's horrible and it's not going to change any time soon.
When those over-paid corporate greedy gutses get paid what they are REALLY worth, not what they award themselves, things might balance out. But it will be a cold day in hell, and I'll be long gone from this World when that happens.
No one, not even politicians, but certainly not managers and CEO's are worth multi-million dollar salaries. No one is worth more than $140,000 a year - NO ONE!
Then they get huge payouts when they stuff up. If they have a 5 year contract worth $25m and they stuff up in year 2 or 3, they should be made to pay their way out of that contract, NOT get a payout to cover the balance of the contract.
Jeez this country runs upside down at our expense on the streets, the little people.
When will reality kick in? It's so frustrating!
I had to go to a medical clinic this morning. It's a new building with its own car park. They charge $1.50/hr to park there. A private car park! That's just greedy!!!!
And that's the way of the world.

you have to pay to park at a medical clinic?? struth..

Most of the hospitals now charge for parking in NSW, well suburban areas anyway.  They contract the parking out to private enterprise evidently

New Zealand fuel 91octain $2.11 , Deisel $1.57. Plus with Deisel we have to buy road tax kls. or miles in old days. Costs me $400 od $ for 10 thousand ks. for my Jackaroo. Trucks have hub meters on to record distance.

The good thing about living on the Island is you don't need to drive anywhere till you live for the mainland.

Your on my pet subject here but don't get me started, the whole situation can be blamed on over population this planet was never meant to provide for five billion let alone seven billion and thanks to the chinese and Indians it will keep increasing so will the demand for food, water, land and oil. (fuel will go to $6 per litre soon, if you think I'm full of it, just wait a couple of years)

 Diesel only costs me 18 cents per litre, I don't know what you lot are doing wrong more than likly getting it from the wrong place.

If a person has the skills, knowledge and contacts to increase a corporation's profits by (say) $10m then they are certainly worth $1m a year.

The same thing applies if they are able to reduce a corporation's loss by $10m.

They are simply worth the money and I am not sure how anyone could say they are not. 

I agree that there is, and will always be, a great deal of the old school tie looking after their mates, and there will always be examples of stupidity where someone is paid to just go away, but we don't live in a perfect world.

 Mate, to put it bluntly, I take offence to your racist remarks. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but when it makes others feel... F*ing angry, is the only way I can describe it, then keep them to yourself.

:edited to be more clear in my point.

sorry mate, but the way I read it he is referring to the idea that they are causing the population explosion. Maybe punctuation might have helped.. but to be honest, I don't really care, it's his way of thinking that I find offensive.

I'd still like to know how he's only paying 18 cents a litre for Diesel.

Cheers,

Sheba.
