Sorry I'm saying I don't think they have cognitive dissonance, I don't think they care about the environment and don't think about it. They think about making more money in the current instance and short term future than the other guys making a lot of money and nothing else matters. Everything is a short term grift to make more money. If they have to think about the environment it's only because someone is using it to get in the way of the current grift and the issue raised is now a cost of doing business that is eating into the monetary lead they have against the next richest grifter. They will happily ignore those environmental costs if noone makes them think about it. The triple bottom line is two too many bottom lines.

    I don't think AI is taking over anything, and I don't think the billionaires actually believe that either. The doom over AI is a marketing tool to keep their bubble propped up while they find ways to shift their money out and government and retirement funds in.

    Look just don't worry about them, they were voted out so they can't do any more damage. There's a gentleman's agreement that we don't prosecute our opponents when in a position of power otherwise it makes it okay. Also it's not right to meddle in the affairs of the private sector. They can hire staff and direct them as they want. We really want to roll back all the work done by the last administration but lots of people made critical financial decisions based on the rules at the time so if we roll back anything those people will lose some money. Just sit back and be happy that the adults are back in charge ..

    Some pretty salient points from Malcolm Turnbull. Morrisons shit subramine deal is going to haunt us for decades to come.

    I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt that by patriotism he means a focus on serving our country rather than the nationalism it tends be associated with. I'm not a huge fan of Turnbull but he has always been pretty well spoken.

    I think his idea that the Liberal party are good economic managers died about 25 years ago with Howard. It could be argued they've always been shit at economics, just noone called them out on it in the old days. I agree that they should be pushing back to the centre of they want to deal with Hanson's racist arsehole party.
