The victorian government (au) finally introduced a 10c rebate for cans and bottles in 2024, when the buying power of 10c is essentially nothing, I don't know if i could even get a head of broccoli for under $3, an can of beans is $2.99

in the early 2010s there were riots in Brazil when bus fairs were increased by something like 30c, I cant stop thinking about it. The price of a metro ticket in vic goes up more than that every year. I look around at everything chugging a long as normal. I hate living in the colonies.

Anyway, here's something I read the other day, in an anti American Colonization Society pamphlet:

men are like trees: they delight in a rude [and native] soil—they strike their roots downward with a perpetual effort, and heave their proud branches upward in perpetual strife. Are they to be removed?—you must tear up the very earth with their roots, rock and ore and impurity, or they perish. They cannot be translated with safety. Something of their home—a little of their native soil, must cling to them forever, or they die.'

I've had too much coffee ,I'm going offline so I get something (ANYTHING) done today
