Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025 Part 2

[Happy Mastenator]

If you're on $2K a day, and work 44 weeks of the year (which is the same as a full time employee after annual leave and public holidays), and we'll knock off a week for sick leave, so 43. That's 43*5*2000 = $430000 (fwiw, income tax on that is 39.1%, any additional costs are also tax deductable).

That's in the top 1% of incomes across the country. Easily. Even if you were only earning 80% of that time, you'd be at the 1% threshold. If 99.5% of people are earning less than you, then yes, it's "much".

People have to stop the delusion that high incomes aren't high incomes. They are.

EDIT: This was a lot funnier 20 years ago when it came out and before inflation made banana's cost $9 each, rather than $0.50.

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse at Essendon.

Pinched this for the Bay, thank you

What may I ask is the Bay?

Bay 13
The degenerate board.

Do not ask.

Get the tiny violins out for the peeps on over $190k a year.

While those bananas cost $9 now, wage growth has stagnated over a ten year period while the cost of living and housing pricing continue to exacerbate.

Bay 13
The degenerate board.

It even has it's own theme song


I ain't got no money, I can't pay no rent
Last week's dole cheque, up my arm it went
Well, I'm a d-e-dirty
I'm a dirty degenerate board

I used to work in strategic purchasing and engaged a lot of these guys. They don't bill 44 weeks a year. More like 2/3days a week on average as they complete engagements (a couple of days, to a few weeks depending on what type of work they do). The rest of the time is the business development time to get more work in.

Probably average about $150-200k gross income after business expenses. Still a good income but not obscene.

Then there are the specialists that charge $10K a day. They'd definitely get their $500k+.

 

[Mr Q]

That might get it down to earning more than 93% of the population... So they're doing pretty well at that.

 

[The Dodger]

You guys are missing the point. Barham is forgoing these kinds of salaries to do his all-important charity work down at Essadon. And he deals with all of these ungrateful kents who can't see the silk purse he's making out of a sows ear.

'Not obscene' is still in the top 6 or 7% of the country so yeah, those poor didums

So…

The two most unlikeable teams in the AFL at present

Go Cats I guess

Would rather a meteor hit the MCG tonight than either of these teams win

We need to look at this another way rather than being annoyed that these 4 are in the grand final.

I'm stoked for any of these supporter groups to be miserable they didn't win the GF this year, despite going to close.

So whilst one team we don't like will win, 3 of them are going to be completely shattered they didn't.

It's a numbers game people.

You should stop shopping at Boatshed.

Brisbane to go back to back. Satisfied with their two premierships, Neale and Starcevich come west to the eagles to help the kids. #copium

30 minutes before bounce-down and the Weddle W*nkfest is already in full swing.

 

[Cuzz09]

Im not fussed who wins tonight

Both teams haven't been as good as they think, a reflection on the sub par comp

 

[PerthBoy86]

Dangerfield has played twice as many finals as Freo. Let that sink in.

 

[PerthBoy86]

They just have to be the least average side to win.

 

[squashface]

I genuinely don't think I have it in me to watch this wank tonight.

Who would've thought Collingwood would be the favoured team over the other 2.

But they're.
And by a fair margin as well.
