How Does A Bank Get Numbers So Wrong?

Australia has 4 big banks, which have eaten up all their competition over the years. These banks have profited enormously from the decades of a residential property investment boom. These banks make something like $250K profit on an average home loan downunder. Housing in Australia is overpriced due to investors and the banks making so much money from the boom. Recently, we have been informed that Westpac has underpaid its staff to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. How does a bank get numbers so wrong? I mean, aren’t banks supposed to be the gold standard with numbers and checking on credibility?

Your Economic Plight Stems From Neoliberalism

We have had, for the last 45 years, governments complicit with big business in defining our economies. This is called neoliberalism. Where you personally find yourself financially right now is a direct consequence of this. How are your finances going? How have these largely unrestrained market forces been treating you? We were told that this would be the panacea to all our economic problems and that governments had been getting in the way of markets. Although, neoliberalism originated from the Right, both sides of politics embraced it over the last 5 decades. Your economic plight stems from neoliberalism. What have been the outcomes?

Australians Are Not Like Americans

You know, I hear stuff about how we share similar values, but Australians are not like Americans. Take a look at their midterm elections and the disgusting shit they spout via their political campaigns. You will not see that kind of lowlife crap here. The lies and disinformation spread are toxic and they have no regulatory standards. Americans lack standards everywhere you look, which is why a grifter like Trump could succeed in the first place. How individuals are around power and the getting of that power tells you a lot about them. If they have no qualms about lying and slandering their opponent that tells you who they really are.

America has a problem in that it fails to place reasonable limitations on the rich and powerful. Politicians and supreme court judges can stay in office until they die. The nation fails to set standards in this regard...
