I recently followed a link from PO to a video by an economics professor who went through the way that real wages had not expanded since the 70's and how major manufacturing concrens moved into the credit business. Can't remember the guy's name, but although he's leftish mentions appearing on a right wing chat show where the guy agreed with him.

I've searched and cannot find this video. Could someone point me in the right direction.

Try the advanced search engine here. I found 24 threads on wages, 69 on credit and 12 using the keyword expansion. Good luck.
Since it sounds like economics, check that forum for topics dated around when you think it was posted.

Australians have been left mortified and shocked after US workers have revealed how little annual leave they get.

In Australia, full-time workers are entitled to four weeks of annual leave for every 12 months of work.

In the US, annual leave can be subjective and change depending on your employer, but on average, workers receive 10 days paid leave a year.

“Shocked in Australian. I get 35 days plus public holidays,” one shared, adding that they also get long service leave.(3 months full pay after 10 years or 6 months half pay)
Plus sick days at full pay most get 10 Plus days (a friend has unlimited sick days, you just need a Drs certificate if its more than 1 in a row...this is rare 10 or 12 is fairly normal)

In the US, the average salary is just shy of $AU100,000 at $AU98,000 but in Australia the average wage is actually more. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, it is now $103,812.

did you ever see those ads about Australia on TV years ago. We put a stop to those, too many yanks coming down. Now all you hear is stories about how we have no guns and are defenseless, perfect psychology to ward off the immigrants of a degenerate empire. Very little is know of Australia to outsiders and we like to keep it that way. My post above was really a bit of a betrayal, think of this instead



Sorry, I searched and searched for images of Australian poverty, but none came up



I did find this pic off an sbs page, but it's clearly a photoshop, all the kids are basically the same age and 5 of them look pasted into the picture. The family is probably just the 3 in the foreground and live in a house behind the camera, dump-rats with an old van in the yard? Even the rubbish pile looks fake, note the manicured lawn right up to edge of it.
