Let's get back to what I posted to Marg.
This : Australia's big supermarkets have been put on notice. A Treasury-commissioned review recommends making the existing voluntary food and grocery code of conduct mandatory. The voluntary code sets standards for wholesalers, retailers and suppliers to try and ensure fair negotiations over prices for products."

They have been caught not just this year but in other years. Has nothing to do with other countries. It's do with how they are acting here.

Has nothing to do with socialism unless you think Dutton and the Nationals are socialists too.

Albo didn't want to go further into it and we know why but it will stay in the headlines the closer we get to elections as promises. He doesn't want to be seen doing a bad job - too late on that.

They were caught and fined over underpaying their employers.
They were caught in other areas too and fined. A federal court found them guilty and they were fined.

I stopped shopping at Woolies when woke stuff came up. Now Coles are on notice too. No one wants automatic checkouts or self service. It's all been in the news. Not making it up. If you think it's socialism write to them not me.

I'm going back to rereading a couple of chapters on Homo Deus - a very interesting book and chapter on A1 and weapons, also where humanity fits in with wars in the future or where we fit in at all? If computers can self learn - they will have superintelligence. But what about consciousness? Man has evolved consciously but robots cannot. Who will evolve faster? Man or computer? Cyber crime happens in milliseconds. Think about that.

What you posted to Marg was Supermarkets price gouging the consumer.

This code of conduct is different to retail prices or 'excessive' retail margins and on these points you raise i totally agree that supermarkets do the wrong thing or have done the wrong thing, they shouldn't exercise their ungodly power they been given over small businesses and their suppliers and they shouldn't under pay staff

The food and grocery code of conduct does nothing about retail prices, it's about dealings with Supermarkets and suppliers, this code of conduct is the modern economists way of trying to control the power the supermarkets have over suppliers. If your not going to break-up the overly large and powerful supermarkets then this type of thing is required or more accurately this type of thing is the theoretically next best option to protect suppliers being crushed however it will increase prices not decrease them because the cost of this code of conduct never use to exist and thus needs to be paid for and just like all regulations the consumer has to pay for it, ie- Me and You, not the supermarkets, not the suppliers and not the government, the people always end up with the bill.

Albo doesn't want to go into it because he knows it's got nothing to do with supermarkets retail margins but he wants the people of Oz to think it has with the help of fake narratives throughout our MSM conning the public or misleading them.

Of course Dutton is a socialist, the LNP as a whole is socialist, obviously they have less extreme socialist ideology and policies compared to our ALP and the ALP is less socialist than the Greens but make no mistake they are all socialists. Anyone that prefers national and global fiat monetary system over a real money system like Gold based is a socialist, it's that simple, the only reason to have a money printer is so they can print money they don't have and this ideology of money printing is the fundamental foundation of Socialism, without the money printers socialism wouldn't exist as it is today but don't worry LP, it never lasts forever.

I think all the Ai stuff is interesting, i also think the future won't have all these wars, i think AI will develop itself into so called superintelligence if it hasn't already, i think conciousness and/or better understanding of it it will prove theres a god or creator of some description and i wouldn't conclusively rule out robots gaining conciousness however if thats possible it's likely way past our lifespan imo. Cyber crime happens in milliseconds because data travels at light speed, robbing a bank down the street takes longer because we don't move at light speed.

I would back humans over AI lasting the test of time, we are a far better design imo.
