You aren’t paid by your employer. You are paid by the customer. The employer just sits in the middle and allows for specialization. Anyone who forgets this becomes a risk to both the customer and employer.

The Australien Government has made an ad for it's new AUKUS military alliance, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 youtube.com/watch?v=Vb5OKr…

Cigarettes used to cost $0.25/box. But the resulting health conditions cost everyone big $$. By taxing cigarettes, smokers saw the cost upfront, and surprise surprise they made healthier choices saving us all $$. Polluting is no different, yet for companies it's still free.

For those who believe Australia can "control demand for our coal" - another sign we can't. Our customers will reduce volume, then entire usage of coal. They will do it earlier than expected, and then earlier again. We must accept it & plan for it. Thoughtfully & empathetically.

New research shows the cost of everyday activities like making a cup of tea and showering could be more than halved when households move to renewable energy by 2030. The Rewiring Australia reports found Victorians could save up to $6000 a year. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS
