Australia mandated instant payments between banks and there hasn't been one issue since the day it was enacted.

Everyone knows everyone in these communities and it's not like people can just drive a town over to them.

You'd be more likely to have someone find a spare and install without asking you.

Some think they're doing a service as they think they're teaching them about the 'real world'.

>“‘Just yourself. Not your backpack. Leave it,’” she told him as they prepared to escape, according to Doan.

I'm in two minds about the backpack, especially after this next sentence.

>“She tried to hold on to him and it was hard to stabilize things with the current,” Doan said. “And they got separated.”

I feel like using the backpack as a kind of harness to help hold on might be a good idea, probably one without a buckle but tightening the straps would have been better than holding with a hand. Although huge risk of just slipping through the straps as well.

Not trying to judge the Mom at all, just thinking out loud for myself if I ever hit such a situation.

Don't forget they were all gifted a ton of money during COVID.

Yep, people who want to arm teachers don't understand this fact.

Staff also use student bathrooms all the time.

Dog whistle and clandestine support for the young disenfranchised males that got these guys elected.

Here's an article covering some of the subject matter - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-63905490

South Korea recently introduced a very misogynist government right?

I'm all for freedom to buy what you like but I have a feeling the reason for spending time and implementing this is not a good one.

Voters need to be like a jury with no name recognition.

This is getting ridiculous.

Lead times for chips are years.

It's cycles mate. They use debt off the stored value of their good times, whether via market cap or stock buybacks.

You can enact austerity if you're an idiot.

They did think opportunities for real missions were useful though.

Because it's budgeted and necessary to make breakthroughs to have the new chips attractive again.

They've been feeding, time to put back some of that in investment.

This is a good thing.

Find a new equilibrium, use the time to better develop new tech.

The lows are breaking records and it seems sustained as well.

Ketamine is really safe and this doesn't sound safe.

But you never know with drugs because of the boy who cried wolf aspect.

Low hanging 'support' fruit.

Which they do the same in the US when they find an illegal gun.

You don't say the US confiscates guns, you're trying to avoid that.

Confiscation would be cold knocking doors and conducting searches and seizing. None of that happened.

You don't call drug laws confiscation.

Give it a rest.

Amnesty requires someone to hand something in on their own volition.

They is a tabloid calling for laws.

I kind find 50 trillion examples in American media.

There was one more wholesale change in Hangguns in 2002 but the laws pretty much stayed stable with only minor changes to facilitate the initial intent.

Amnesties are not buybacks, just opportunities to comply with laws on the books.

> then piece by piece they banned and confiscated everything, one by one

I lived Australia mate.

They had a single buyback of semi-autos. Nothing else really happened since then. There is no piece by piece.

You can own all the hunting weapons you desire.

Edit:

>They just recently ran an article demonizing and doxxing every owner of a bolt action hunting rifle in a state in Australia.

Wow, an article. As much credence as your post dude.

Gun control proponents are about control, not removal.

A situation like you said would not happen overnight and in times of end times, I would see a legitimate need. Right now there is not one and if you go for gun control such as what is in the rest of the developed world. You can still own one if you want, you just need to go through extra steps.

I'm a big fan of Australia's laws and have been hunting in Australia for pest wildlife just fine.

Are you implying our pompous asses will be crying because we won't have guns to steal or defend food reserves?

I'm confused.
