US markets closed.

Somethiing i don't get....How do these MSM people think democracy is ending because a lot of people in Germany and France are waking up and voting accordingly, isn't people voting what democracy is? The people choose who to vote for, just because those in power now are on the way out doesn't mean theres no democracy it's quite the opposite as it means democracy is working and why do the MSM say Hitler/Nazi's were right wing when Hitlers political party was a Socialist Party and socialist parties are far left not far right, i think our MSM is all mixed up and back to front, one of the first thing Hitler did was censor free speech and censoring free speech is what our modern lefty parties are wanting to do and in some cases like Brazil's lefty regime actually are banning it by getting rid of X and also going further by freezing Musk's other company financies like Starlink, it's the lefties that are very bad not the right if you check your history and have a look around in today time.

IO down

Australia GDP suffering more than other countries, Albo and Dim Jim trying to say it's the RBA's fault when it's their management fault, all countries have had the same problems and almost all countries have had higher rates than us and are all doing better than us so that only leaves our governments policies and management to blame, our rates are about 1% less than most other countries, if we went higher than other countries did then they may be able to say it's more the central banks fault but with rates being about 1% less than others and we still going backwards per capita!!
Albo and Dim Jim just full of BS if you think about it and make comparisons.
