Good.

I feel that we should bite the bullet with schools and implement a full quarantine.

Yeah, but then you're just going to have tens of thousands of kids roaming the streets during the day, and getting up to shit, and spreading the virus anyway.

- Largest employer in the country to guarantee paid leave for casual staff.
- Absorbing huge penalty rate surges at 0% cost base increases to meet demand
- Keeping up with historical demand with 0% cost base increase.
- Pre empting government actions by generating 5,000+ jobs to help curb the unemployment crisis.
- Created segregated time period for the elderly and disabled to shop outside of demand surges.

"systematic RORTING of worker"!

This ladies and gentleman, is someone that has no experience outside of a text book.

There does appear to be some evidence of price gouging but NONE as you say at Woolies and Coles.

I'm no fan of their business practices but Mr "Mass Hysteria, Nothing To See Here" is wide of the mark.

 

[Del191229]

Oh here we go, the woke SJW mafia is rolling up to defend Coles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same can be said for kids, whom all still have to get to school before and after school, so I guess that's the case of a % of the day in both scenario's.

Public transport will get shut down soon, so that might bring this to a head.

I doubt PT gets shut down.

But I do think we will have a lockdowns similar to what's happening in Europe now.

I'm the same, however I'm purely judging them on the last month, how can you not be impressed (even ****ing proud) of all the supermarket workers, managers, logistics chain over the last weeks.

Given the amount of abuse, the amount of hours and stress they've been put under. I mean, a supermarket worker has just been stabbed in Rosebud in the last few hours during this frenzy....

They've been on the front lines having to deal with the circus for most of the last fortnight.

Yep, and I haven't seen any evidence of price gouging.

In fact, they are probably costing themselves money with the changes they are making to help out the olds.

Absolutely! Ridiculing one of Australia's biggest business' at a time in which (as one of the few likely profitable companies over the coming months) they have shown a willingness to get in the trenches with the rest of the nation and help out, is bloody outrageous.

Wesfarmers don't own Coles any more.

Yeah, but as I said, this is the person who told us it was all media hysteria whipped up to distract from the failing climate change hoax.

Thanks poindexter!

You DO work for them.

The fashionable lefty is a capitalist today.

"Trenches", LOL.

I work for ME, actually.

This much is patently clear.

Don't comment about a life experience that is completely foreign to yourself. Sell your bullshit somewhere else.

You're like some actor at the Oscars. Where is Ricky Gervais when we need him?!

 

[Del191229]

I worked at Woolies when I was 15. I'm sure lots of people here did.

 

[big_e]

Thanks poindexter!

Stop using my real name, hypocrite!

I've got sufficient employee's to have to notify the state department of human services and have a formal session at trades hall with the full Victorian sub-comitee of the CFMEU in the liklihood I make them all redundant in the next few months.

I think I've got a little bit of life experience on the topic of workers and their rights.

Govt is going to try and sell $500m of gilts tomorrow.

That will be very very interesting.

Just checking in. Have the banks collapsed?

Not yet, but give them a few days or weeks.

...........something..................something.................Trump!!!

The USA has tested fewer people for the virus than South Australia. Trump has lied every time he has spoken on the issue. He has variously blamed China, Europe, and the Obama administration for his administration's failings. He has claimed to have a "natural ability" for science because he had an uncle at MITdespite not knowing a thing about vaccines. HE has taken zero responsibility for failings and awarded himself 10 out of 10 for the response. He deliberately delayed testing because he thought positive results would be bad politically and now we find out he tried to monopolise a potential vaccine purely for Americans.

Do you really want to defend Trump?

He demands proof from everyone else but he can't provide it when he's pulled up. Instead he reverts to personal insults. It's the same every single time. So fricking hypocritical. Even someone that spent time in a year 8 science class would be able to see it.
