#nostriches and #austriches
Just caught up with a mate who assisted his old business at a large trade show in Austin, Texas.
His comparison to Australia was that the US vibe was optimistic. Retailers spending at trade shows, good outlook and general consensus that economy was NOT falling apart.
What will be the straw the breaks the camel’s back here?
- growing homelessness
- relentlessly immigration
- per capita recession coming up 7 quarters in a row
- worst decline of living standards among peers (and non peers!)
- small businesses going bust
- increasing taxes to fuel handouts and 💩 policies
All of those make me 😡
But what’s most alarming is the second level consequences of this:
