Opinions and headlines
This article reinforces my opinion that it is full of opinions, not facts, and what we know about opinions is that everybody has one.
As fast as one opinion is given, many others appear. For example, on Tuesday, the RBA interest rate cut went in the space of one interview from a bonus for homeowners with a mortgage, to a problem for people with savings in the bank. Then it went to inflation, which wasn’t said to be the problem, it was productivity. Again, the talk went from being a win for the government to a RBA vote of no-confidence in the government.
Perhaps an improvement in productivity could be achieved if we had less high-paid people with opinions and more people working. At present, market forces have set the higher value of tradies and the market doesn’t like it.
As for the market forces mantra, I can’t help wondering about the latest and greatest AI, when things are left to humańs minipulating an inanimate object. Look at what we are getting: inflation.
That’s my opinion and it can’t be wrong because it’s mine.
