 Absolutely bonkers.

“This means that one in every 30 people in Australia in March 2024 was on either a student visa or a graduate visa.”

This is Boomer Feudalism - the importation of a peasant class to undertake slave labour for wealthy land owning Boomers whose only interest is the increase in value of their property portfolios.

 And yet they put my Irish partner through the wringer to get her visa……..#cunts 
 That’s the only category of immigration that is difficult in Australia - partner visas. Also costs like $10k from memory?

Coming from India to ride an e-bike for UberEats whilst getting a degree from our diploma mill Universities - fast tracked and rubber stamped, no questions asked. 
 A friend in academia jokes about this.

Unfortunately, it was easier for him to adjust his values than his career. He now believes the working-classes are to blame for everything, and that he's saving the world by disinheriting them in favour of the children of failed Third World bureaucrats. He's Gen X, so he'll probably live long enough to harvest the fruits... 
 Another #austrich! Nice. #grownostr 
 sorry bro. i'm coming. brzil is already commie, cant live here 
 lol don’t leave Brazil for Australia if you’re trying to escape commies mate - that’s just jumping out of the frying pan, into the fire 
 we can compare things, do you want to do it? 
 No need, I believe you mate. I’m just saying don’t come here thinking you’re escaping commies, Aus is infested with them too 
 I know that.
the choice is to be less slave.
find good and create good community.
if ure really from aus, I would like to pay some sats to know u bro. I'm going in july 
 You don’t have to pay Sats mate 😂

Where are you going? It’s a big country 
 adelaide. I found a good course out there 
 That’s 1000 kilometres from me 🤣

@phil's neck of the woods. There’s a few Radelaideans on #nostr 
 just a little more time and we will have a bitcoin walk  
 Adelaide isn’t a bad place to live in Australia. It’s smaller and I don’t think the cost of living/housing issues are as bad here compared with the cities in the eastern states. And definitely better weather than Melbourne! 
 so I made a gud decision ! tyvm bro. lets keep humble and staking sats
