I heard they put a call in to Harry S. Truman but there were a couple or problems.Back in stage 4 lockdown again
It baffles me that the government still have no long term plan other than destroying most industries and small businesses

I'm in finance so I think I am qualified to comment (to some degree) on the financial turmoil we are inevitably going to come into over the next 12 months+I heard they put a call in to Harry S. Truman but there were a couple or problems.
1. Hes dead so couldn't take the call.
2. People tend to frown on genocide, even if its for the greater good.
3. We don't even own any nukes.
So it seems that a scorched earth policy on the economy and business is the only current viable option.
On a more serious note, whenever I hear Danny boy talks he always says 'you' instead of 'we' like hes not part of the cluster that is covid in Victoria. I don't vote so this isn't political, but we all need to own this to some degree and Dan was in a position to instruct us what to do. I'm sure none of us can say we didn't do something, even minor, that didn't somehow break the rules.
I have been saying from the outset that we should have gone hard from the start (stage 4) and suffered a greater deal of pain for a shorter period to rid us of this but instead as soon as things seemed to be getting better everything we back to normal.
I'm self employed and quite a number of business that I service told me that they just made it through the first lock down. Sadly I think a number wont make it through the second which will go for at least another few months unless the government just give up and accept we've failed at containing this.
And Victoria can embrace the title of Australia's leper colony.
tldr is probably everyone's best option to this post.
Think I might try and get a copy of this for the next lockdown.
I'm sure most RATM fans would agree the gold standard of covers is Bill Cosby doing Killing In The GameBut the rest of you, favourite cover of a song?
Had this game as a kid
Can't remember is was any good or not though
Whilst I think job keeper has been a good move by the government it has created the greatest false economy in the history of mankind. Many are earning more then they used too and think they will be immune to the long term effect or plainly just haven't considered them. Raising the payment of job seeker has had the same effect as many long term unemployed have effectively doubled their income and now have $500+ disposable income a fortnight as they've learnt to live of the normal job seeker payment.I don't know what the lockdown is trying to achieve when the government both federal and state has said we are not going down the eradication line but more of a control measure. Are we going to do this every 3-6 months when the cases spike again? Like what is the long term goal?
Unemployment is at 7.5% I would expect that to double in 12 months time. God knows how many shell companies there are out there at the moment, only still technically employing people because of job keeper. I guess we won't truly know this exact figure for a while
Anyone remember this ending?

Pretty sure there was another version of nightmare also, with a different character to the gatekeeper, but a very similar theme.
Yeah there was a clown? you can find the videos on youtube.
crazy over here in Perth 1 of the builders I work for has had record sales the last couple months. telling me to put on extra workers if we want to keep up. same as most builders its basically going to be another boom. Hopefully dont get a second wave over here or it might fu** sh*t up
Yeah but problem is you can’t run an indefinite support but you also can’t just go suck it up - we would be staring 15+% unemployment in the face.Whilst I think job keeper has been a good move by the government it has created the greatest false economy in the history of mankind.

On the way the government is dealing with it, it really is the half pregnant approach. They lock us down while telling us they can't get rid of it. Put all the effort into protecting the vulnerable and let those who want to take the risk do so and they need to protect those vulnerable in their family.
Reality is what you've said, come March 2021 there will be a big reality check for a lot of people if not sooner when the jobs they thought the government was holding open for them simply don't exist.
Can't wait to see how much more work I lose from the latest restrictions.
well they averaged about 100 a month pre china virus. in last 2 months sold 550 houses. did about 80 a month during lockdown phase so not like it was everybody holding out. guess the $45k stimulus helped a heap but I was for sure no campaigner would be buying a house and I'd be off to the mines to be a s**t kicker but nope looks like ill be working 6 or 7 days a week. ******* crazy really.Who is building houses now? Don't get it. Why is there suddenly boom?
id be f’ed if I had a small business or was employed at a place that could close down any second and I'd be building.
