    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    This seems to me the story of what is currently happening. How anyone can defend the conduct of HBG is beyond me. ***inset caveat about waiting for facts here Anyone who thinks the Richo stuff breaking today has nothing to do with HBG is living in a fantasy.

    These first 2 tests have really shown how blessed Australia have been to have Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood going together. They bowl as a unit and so share the wickets a lot of the time and often not one stands out. When you remove 2 of the 3, the 1 remaining stands head and shoulders above the...

    Its the Amerification of our sports. All about personalities and bells and whistles. How pointless is that balance graphic on Fox? I just watch it on mute now as ABC never seems to sync up.

    pretty amazing achievement for a guy who had plenty of knockers early in his career (mainly Warnie). Seems to be getting better too. Freak

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    Happens a lot in the Premier League. United fans HATE their owners, Tottenham have had issues, Newcastle before they got bought by the Saudis.

    Hard not to be very cynical here. Think that is just pot stirring knowing the depth of his current connection with the Dogs.

    Sure Richo just loves this clown talking about him and timeframes for his decisions in the media

    Harsh on Uzzie. 85 tests (arguably should have been more) average of 44 opening the batting. To put that in perspective thats on par with Langer, Slater, Warner and Boon. Hundreds in India, England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Has he gone too long? Maybe. But its not as if anyone else has knocked...

    What do each of US feel about Wealth Inequality.

    Ever played monopoly? There are plenty of examples: When large companies dominate a field - they can charge customers and pay workers what they want, they can bully smaller businesses and make it less competitive. Or when individuals or groups buy up vast sums of property, commercial or...

    What do each of US feel about Wealth Inequality.

    This is not what I am doing though. I'm in a very fortunate position that in with a combination of luck and hard work I have built a lovely little life for myself. I don't care for extremes of politics and I am off social media. I genuinely think the scales are tipped or at least tipping against...

    What do each of US feel about Wealth Inequality.

    Seems to me you are saying that people who believe in these multilateral institutions have a "worldview based solely in suicidal empathy"? is that not exactly what you wrote?

    What do each of US feel about Wealth Inequality.

    Acknowledging the playing field isn't level and advocating for reasonable adjustments to be made is NOT alleviating personal responsibility. I am well aware of the need to increase self-efficacy and autonomy, acceptance of the things you cannot change and taking action toward the things you can...

    What do each of US feel about Wealth Inequality.

    This is such a narrow view of multilateralism which has been a net-gain for just about every Western democracy post WWII.

    What do each of US feel about Wealth Inequality.

    Is it though? Feel like it is a bit more nuanced than that. The idea that it is solely the responsibility of the person, and that the system they live in perfectly incentivises hard work and good values is just disconnected with reality. There is a balanced and rational debate to be had around...
