Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

I always said Marty is a brave man.... "The large number of Orca sightings last month have proven that Tasmania’s East Coast is one of the hotspots to see Orcas in Australia." And he even went swimming disguised as a seal! Wow! (Quote from Pennycotts cruises) -
Even donny said "It's a great time to get rich!"

I agree. The whole tariff thing messes up everything - especially when players are changing the trading rules like is currently happening

Great in theory. But if those same cheap workers are given all the workplace safety we expect, the job security we expect, training, worl/life balance, etc, etc. Then they will cost the multinational exploiters as much in overheads as we have for workers here. And no longer be 'competetive'. And your cheap tile saw will cost much much more.

In one swift move, USofA has trashed the great GLOBALISATION movement. Globalisation has mainly served line the pockets of the biggest players in trade. And probably brought about more sweatshops the world over, in a race to find the cheapest sources. Whether it really causes a lot of inconvenience (to us as consumers), remains to be seen. When there is turmoil and change, there are always nee opportunities- if only people seek them out. Maybe in a few years time we might feel t rump has done us a favor?

What has Trump NOT done lately? Mr Musk is leaving the Whitehouse after the legal maximum tenure of 130 days. Is it possible Mr T didn't love him enough to wipe that law? He is usually eager to wipe/revoke laws he views as 'counter to tha administration's goals'.

I couldn't quite make out what the K47 means (on the side of the cap) Is it promoting something? The pic was in a news article.

I couldn't resist putting this pic here. Elon seems to have a new hat every day.

That in itself begs a question. Are the courts clogged with vexatious cases and profit based opportunists? Or does this indicate that there are indeed people needing protection of their rights? Not trying to be silly here, just curious. Sure, I don't want us to get any more like USofA with all their litigation for profit. Law should be about enforcing a 'fair go'.

I once went to a urologist - he was born to be a urologist..... His name was Dr Yap Y - A - P (True story. But he didn't get it when I giggled)

And "Australia is the only liberal democracy not to have either a constitutionally entrenched bill of rights or rights or a national human rights act."

To quote from Wiki:- "A bill of rights, sometimes called a declaration of rights or a charter of rights, is a list of the most important rights to the citizens of a country. The purpose is to protect those rights against infringement from public officials and private citizens.[1]"
