Mining is Australia's jobs saviour, according to the people who recently re-elected an incompetent, scandal-ridden government because the other major party were going to introduce climate measures. These measures would "cost all Australians all their jobs" (right Pauline?).
Well, the mining industry is automating people out of employment a lot faster than the alternate government would have. This is on top of the casualisation of the workforce to lower job security and wages.
On a related note, safety standards in mining have always improved - until recently. There have been five separate deaths this year in mining in the state of Queensland alone (right Pauline?). One factor in this is that the statutory positions responsible for maintaining and auditing safety have been contracted out to individuals rather than employees and they know full well that if they don't sign off on safety that they'll have their contracts terminated. The Queensland Government is now removing mining's exemption from industrial manslaughter legislation as a result (why was it ever exempt?). Hopefully this will force safety back into prominence in those mines. Whatever else, it will definitely speed up the adoption of more automation and less jobs.

Now we don't even need your stinking papiere, danke.

... the perpendicular pronoun doesn't care

I'm surprised no-one has asked why Maccas hasn't been automated yet.

You worked at IBM and in HR. That explains things. It's going to be difficult for you, but try to understand that not everyone is out to rip everyone else off.

You seem to be attempting to conflate profitability with competence. Not at all the same thing.

Or is it that you need someone to blame when the SaaS hits the fan? It won't help, but if it makes you feel better...

Here's the thing, like. Noone watches television any more.
Brilliant.
Totally.
Yes. Exactly. Yeah.

Are you suggesting this is yet another instance of US courts finding foreign companies guilty and subjecting them to outrageous amounts in damages, as a form of anti-competitive tariff? Sounds reasonable.

The US National Guard has better fighter planes than most of the world's air forces. Why does a National Guard need F15s? Are they planning on taking on the US Air Force or is it somewhere that USAF planes go to retire?

You had me at Dutton.

My apologies.
A month or two ago I read about some foreign (non-Swedish, maybe American?) entity buying something Swedish that I thought was the leading mobile payments platform (at least that is how it was headlined) and thought to myself "Well that's another f'*ing stupid move by Sweden; still falling for the promise of Globalization even in the face of all the evidence to the contrary". Now I cannot find any evidence of any relevant article, only suggestions on Wikipedia that now that Swish is dominant that banks are considering introducing fees for the buyer as well - which is along the lines of what I was suggesting would happen in my original post (yes it's hard for me to say I'm wrong).
I will try to provide links to my sources in future and this should prevent similar stupidity on my part.
