Then make that clear, stretch. At the moment you're using a huge fkoff brush.

Nope. That day labourer is still trying to make the most of his situation, and that rate is his going rate based on the type of labour and the market he's competing in. Setting a minimum level that people need to charge above for their labour is and always has been a recipe for disaster. Fewer people get hired overall, a black market rises up and charges even less for the same thing and we're back to step one again. I agree that the level of pay is disastrous, but it won't get better by putting a floor on the price that the labourers are allowed to charge for their time. Formal employment, yes. 100% agree with you on that, cos at least then you're protected from a CCMA / employee perspective. Informal employment, they take what they can get. Edit: agreed fully with the knock on effect of a higher income, in SOME cases. This is where generational wealth comes into play, and is extremely powerful And Oversupply of labour is the reason for the rock bottom price of day labourer pricing. Fewer of them = higher average cost due to supply / demand curve.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't be cognisant of other people's plights, but the middle class isn't responsible for the lower class's suffering or position. That's squarely on governments shoulders as a result of decades of maltreatment (pre and post 94)

Bollocks. Just because people have different levels of income and different circumstances it doesn't mean that they automatically have disposable income to put towards other people's benefit when so much is already being squandered. Disposable means just that. Disposable. You'd be surprised how many people actually don't have it. Lifestyle audits to lift other people up, when tax should be going towards it already? Nope. That's a one way ticket to socialist principles. Whose "preferred lifestyle" are we talking about? Yours? Mine? The miners'? Zuma's?

Erm... Hate to rain on your parade, but given proper govt spending and a nominal increase in marginal tax rates it wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem. It definitely is governments duty and role to do the upliftment. Majority of middle income earners (if they have disposable cash) are jaded and won't contribute more when so much already goes to waste. If it didn't go to waste, different story.

Going on Rossi's later pace (once he was able to get past Jack, who is always difficult to pass) he was up there with the front runners, again. Really did himself a dis-service with his qualifying, which was his primary complaint about the weekend. I think he has found some breakthrough. Testing - I'm not putting much stock into that as they may not have been looking for all out speed, maybe something else. I dunno. But his performance this last race was excellent.

Not discounting that, but it's personally something I despise. Manipulating an image / editing an image to make it appear "more" than it actually is. Not talking artistic license so that colours pop r you get juuust the right composition out of a true crapshoot, I'm talking about something like this in the Time cover, or when there's an "AMAZING, HUUUUGE wave" that is fkn amazing, till you realise that the horizon is out by 15 degrees and it becomes a completely different matter entirely.

This isn't binary. It can be more than one reason, and Eldron is right. So are you. It's a cumulative thing that no one change would have corrected.

ah.

Yeah, using public buildings to highlight wealth disparity.... sneaky fks. Yeah, the private property is one road removed, and still covered, but the focal point (and target) of the pic is on the diff between the types of buildings and implies that those public buildings are private homes. Very misleading.

She still wants to see the manager. Problem is, the Manager of the bank wants to see her, too...

What about this? Don't knkow much about Toni, but it seems decent... https://wood.tools4.co.za/product/toni-ts315-contractor-table-saw-315mm-2000w/

he was the goodest dog...

cos she's not used to drilling things from behind.....?

In the light of the sun?

YES!!!!!!!!!!! Or from behind. I reckon there's a 90 deg "safe zone" directly behind the ships, and about 30 deg above. Can't go vertical, as that'd mean falling spears into the ships.

Bran is the Night King

Remember, Arya still has her faces....

I reckon it's the Hound, and yes he is walking away, or rather, turning around and walking away. Maybe he was turned the other way so that the Golden Company wouldn't recognise him? Re Euron - how awesome would it be if the Dead Dragon rose again? Sea water is secretly healing and stuff, maybe?

Who do you think!? The first person on her list. Clad in steel...

hell yeah... just 5 days. 5 days.

Is the preview out yet?

I call bs on this one. Guaranteed you'll huil at least twice between now and then. ????????

Yes, but it's THE TV show of the century, so far. Controlling yourself is easier than controlling everyone else. Exercise restraint. Don't read it if it had the TV show heading, for 24h.
