Not something we can blame trumpy for, but kinda illustrates how Merkans end up with a reputation for poor decision making. "A county sheriff's office in Maryland said Monday a professional cornhole player who's also a quadruple amputee fatally shot a passenger in the front seat of a car he was driving during an argument." There are too many (trumplike) unanswered questions there. Who gave him control of the bus and the weaponry? https://www.cbc.ca/sports/cornhole-quarruple-amputee-murder-charges-9.7139716

I quoted net profits after tax and all outgoings.

I'm no fan of the backroom influence held by big mining (and esp multinational interests). However, a quick websearch offers up Australian mining revenue. In the 2022-23 financial year, Australia's mining industry generated a record $455 billion in export revenue. (Aside: just imagine the profits if we turned it into steel). Big dollars indeed. But look at the ratios. Australian mining sector contributes more than half of the country's corporate tax revenue, with the industry paying approximately $65 billion in company tax and royalties for the fiscal year 2023-24. This makes mining the largest taxpayer in Australia, At risk of oversimplifying, they collectively paid about 14% tax. I wish I had that tax rate on my pay packets!

Yeah it IS a picture. But is it silly?

Happy days!

I'm still awaitin to hear OME complain about all this dam rain......

On the bright side Trump, in his ignorance, has done more to promote decreased reliance on fossil fuels than any carbon tax or green energy initiative has ever done.

I think that issue is steadily fading. We are noticing more and more EV's with interstate number plates. And now we are more likely to know somebody who drives one, and we get first hand feedback which is more reliable than any media blurbs.

You are probably still in shock after getting robbed at the servo.
