But who's fault is that? That's right, the investors/landlords who scalped all the houses, making supply scarce and causing prices to increase.

Owning more than two (and I'd argue more than one) properties should be illegal.

Saved you a click (or embarrassment of not knowing what one looks like from the thumbnail)

It's the tardigrade.

I don't care about anyone's hair. Maybe you misread my comment? You can sub in any action performatively done in response to a "no".

Your misreading of my comment is toddler core.

Anybody (of any gender) that perfomatively does something solely out of spite is toddler core.

"My girlfriend told me she doesn't like mullets so I got a mullet lol"

"My dad says I'm not allowed a tattoo so now I want one even more!"

Toddler core.

I swapped to brown rice from white, found that I wasn't getting sleepy 2 hours later anymore.

Good point, corrected.

What's not in their jeans is probably in their genes.

Key word is "state mandated", only the state of Victoria was locked down, I think COVID barely scratched the other states. I also lived in NZ at the time, and as you recall, we barely got COVID and I spent 2020 and 2021 skiing and partying. Thanks to clever leadership, not seen in the US at the time.

As for UK healthcare, I quickly researched where Australia stacked up in the world and by most metrics, the UK was overwhelmingly the best. Unlike the weirdly propagandized Americans, I don't have to do weird mental gymnastics to try and force my country at the top. I can accept facts.

We keep up with the mortgage because the minimum wage here is $16USD.

The average Australian citizen pays $17,000 in taxes as opposed to $14,000 for seppos.

For that, I know myself and all my fellow Australians will never be crippled with medical debt, as going to the hospital is always free. We have the second best health care in the world, right next to the UK.

Us Aussies like to look out for each other, rather than you individualistic, seemingly selfish yanks.
