And when they didn't have a stream of babies they traded to get more people. Or just outright stole them.

It's going to be an interesting time when the generation of 10 people is faced with hunting and gathering for the generation of 1000. Pro-tip: It doesn't end well for the generation of 1000

The number of people in the world is predicted to start going negative before the end of this century.

While it is the right thing to do, continued cultural isolation of its people is exactly what the Taliban want

This is the problem when times are hard. That right wing money is still money.

Nah they won't get outed or penalised. They'll just get invited to less cool parties now because treason is gross and nobody wants to be seen with that

Remember governments past and present piss away this and more routinely for far less social benefit

Check out a developer called yiotro. His stuff aint flashy and almost entirely strategy/puzzle but are light on resources (i.e you can pick up and play/stop whenever without losing progress. Also won't kill your battery), and not most importantly not bloated with ads. The perfect time killer.

Some of his games are pretty fun/addictive/challenging. Paid versions are a few bucks and free for life.

Most people commenting here don't have kids. Private schools are so prolofic because the majority of public schools are so defunded and sad looking that there is a native demand for schools with... non-below average facilities which families are willing to pay for.

This country doesn't spend enough on education and instead is letting its citizens fund the education sector out of their own pockets. It's kinda criminal.

So instead of blanket banning private schools we should be funding public ones to the level that makes most private schools redundant.

That's way too basic to be a solution. If you take from them they'll simply take it back from us by cutting jobs and services while raising fees.

We should be making it harder if not outright illegal for them to arbitrarily cut costs in the way they do i.e closing branches, offboarding atms, making workers redundant to keep up profits. They are in many ways a public service and the service component is worth protecting.

Countering this behaviour would be far more impactful to Australians and the economy than just having them hand a bag of money to the government.

I think they should still sell them but they should be $40 per sanger and have "best of walmart" type warning images stapled onto the plain paper bag.

School will never need to run another fundraiser ever again
