The sad thing is at the same time our inept government has reduced the value of our currency so much, I might as well pay you in sea sand.

isnt worth chit? really? did you read what my wife earns? Do you know what I earn? What do you earn an hr and doing what skilled job?
she works on her own, right? hustles to find the jobs? thats not unskilled. she doesnt show up in her work polo and hat and stand behind a register for her 6hr shift. shes providing a service, which as you know, is more valuable.

however, if it was your 9yr old nephew cleaning, you might only pay him minimum. if at all.

nope, turns down jobs all the time, she only likes to work a couple of hrs a day. 4 days a week.

Its all unskilled labour.

like talking to a wall. by hustle, i mean she doesnt work for anyone. shes independent, like you described above. not sure why you're calling her unskilled? wonder what she'd think

You haven't seen some of the managers I worked with over the years.
I don't really have a subservient personality, so I always managed to be outside of their reach.

there ya go. keep that foil on good and tight
Derp. Can you refute my assertion?

I can justify it, but you couldn't keep up.

Go read a textbook. You've been drooling in front of Fix News for too Long.

But you won't, because it might take something called 'effort'.

Yeah, but I would need to chop down a forest to do it because electricity rates here are nuts. Oh and there are quite a few chemicals that go into making glass.

Just to repeat

So we have a Scotch fillet steak which is more expensive here than there.

We have Lamb that is cheaper here than there (im assuming as nobody said otherwise)

We have Milk and bread that is the same price. (which is the BIG one as its a staple)

We have a Big Mac that is 20% smaller but also 20% cheaper so the same price in reality.

And we have a higher min wage (double or more for adults) with penalty rates and allowances. Sounds like our children under 18 get paid more than your adults...

Im glad we cleared all that up.
