"We, like, totally have regime change. The old person is dead and there is a new person who respects me very much…so very much.
And the war really stopped, like, weeks ago. The gas is cheaper than ever. A former President called me…I won’t say who…won’t say. But he called and said “I’ve never seen anything like it, sir, and the ships are bringing the gas with all the trucks…so much trucks.”
And I, like, nodded very wisely but I am going to have him arrested…he is a friend of mine but, you know, our fine FBI Director said “we have the proof!” and I was, like, “we need to see it” and the ballroom will really look great, if you can believe it. The curtains are the best…so much trucks.
But the regime is gone now and the trucks are bringing the oil so, as you can see, we really do have Greenland now."
Q: Whats the difference, between the vietnam war, and the iran war.??
Hang on a minute, Newscum you’re out of Cali bringing his best mate in to replace.
Keep with the times, moving at lightspeed… backwards
Don’t worry about it so much.
If anyone should be worried it’s me, no fuel, gov lying again today I see, no fertilizer, but I see this coming in January and forward planned for it so I do not go bankrupt as many farmers are. Gov has 1 month to sort it out around here or there will be minimal crops that includes feed for animals and humans even if you are a vegy.
WA has cut back too I see, can’t get the everything they need right now. Fuel, sprays and Fertilizer. Read the report last week of one of the biggest ones in WA. People don’t understand you have a window of opportunity to get maximum yields and if you miss that window, you go bust very quick.
Oh it’s coming Bowen says, what in June, september, you can’t wait until then. Oh it’s only $4 a ltr. Well try filling up an 1100ltr tank on a Case tractor and you last around 12hrs on that. Becomes not viable.
It’s a mess around here, some sprayed and worked up paddocks just sitting there with Tractors empty on fuel. The paddocks are already drifting big sand blows across roads that councils can’t even get the graders out to clear off because no fuel. Haha IDGAF just lock her in 4x and hit the manual over ride button. This is what they wanted, you got it pal. Not just here, in Victoria too I see over the weekend.
I always said from day one, do not vote Labor the leader of it, there will be trouble. Oh well nobody listens reap the rewards of the kaos you will ensue for 2026.
My housemate working in Kalgoorlie has had his 10 hour days cut down to 8 hours because of the lack of Diesel, and that’s in the biggest Gold region of Western Australia.
I’m yet to catch up with another mate who runs a Company contracting Haul Road/Access Road building and maintenance to the big Mining companies such as BHP Billiton/FMG etc. up in the Kimberly/Pilbara regions……… but he was already commenting the same thing about the lack of Diesel availability as a subcontracted Company.
Indeed, one trucking freight company I know has parked their dozen semis up as they cannot pass the cost on, stood down the drivers.
Another good friend is a driver locally for important frieght, farm supplies. He’s off for 2 weeks at the moment. He’s got another job to cover for the moment for a friend delivering a motorhome to Queensland.
The only time that the general public will begin seeing these fuel shortages out here in the country is when the food shortages hit, postage/shipping/deliveries stop and fuel starts disappearing in the major Cities.
What blows me away to this day is during covid bs there was so many people working from home, of course not everyone can do that but just those that could made the roads a delightful place to be. Traffic was never a problem.
Why not work on that more? There is little need for many office workers to leave the house for work if they have the internet.
A subsidy for having people work at home would slow demand a noticeable amount, and place less load on infrastructure while improving efficiency for those that can’t work from home… but again… government only likes to be seen to be doing something - results don’t matter just polls
Good idea. With the internet being better than in the past it should be doable for a lot. I only have one request, charge your bloody headset up before I’m trying to comm with them. Oh hang on I’ll have to call you back headsets flat, or can’t hear you lost bluetooth connection on it
Technically I work at home too, but I still need Diesel to run it
I’ve been work from home for over a decade. Even when the companies I worked for had offices, I would work from home or customer site. But I work for young cyber security companies who have no history of big office. I know guys doing similar jobs for mining, banks, big 4 and they all have instituted return to office mandates. It’s so fucking stupid.
I know my company encourages work from home if possible, but most of us can’t. Hell my work truck uses over $1000 a fill of diesel and adblue atm and I’m doing that once or twice a week, and there are trucks and machines that are way more thirsty than that… and that’s the stuff that keeps the country going.
Telling a few people to catch a bus, ride or walk is a nice thought, but I doubt it makes stuff all in the big scheme of industry, farming and mining; all which keeps the economy going and people living.
End of the day if someone can bus ride or walk to work they probably are already doing it. Most of the country outside metropolitan areas it just isn’t an option.
Again typical Labor… seen to be doing things without any results. Decades of liberal and Labor’s only policy being “the other party is shitter than us”… fucking pathetic that these morons get paid for that. And even worse that many get paid once they are voted out… which really is getting fired for being shit.
Remember when the country nearly ground to a halt few years ago, no fertilizer was available, no urea=no adblue= truck or tractor no go anywhere.
There was a lot of deletes during that time.
Stoopid thing is we have plenty of it here. They’ve started one up iirc or extended it or something as due to shutdown. Think we just import it all now. Not sure, ignorance is bliss
I do remember! Had a mate that had a ford van (poor bastard!) that needed adblue, so the moron went out and bought himself a drum of it that took years to use. Meanwhile truckies I know we’re losing there shit and income over it, and he barely drove.
And that’s the mentality that makes the up the stupid population here.
“Think of how stupid the average person is; pretty stupid right?
Now remember that half of all people are stupider than that!”
George Carlin might have been ahead of his time on that one!
I’m actually for abolishing credit card surcharges….a tax on a tax on a tax…to use a card you’re already paying for…. Banned in Europe for a while now…
