This is one of those "embrace the power of AND" because it's that and so much more. It's the #grift that keeps on #grifting.

Begin with the assumption that anything that costs so much *must* be Important. Worthy. and all the other adjectives in the #Sunkcost box of excuses.

Then go on to the "It's New Technology, of course it's not good. Yet." and all the rest of the #alpha BS. Some of y'all sign up for #beta access, but alpha is the one they force into every app on every platform they can manage.

It's this ubiquity that is going to make the burst so horrific.

#Labor is selling us out to the #Grifting #Gas industry corporations, their #Investors and their #Shareholders. Not only are the Gas companies taking the mickey, our #PrimeMinister #AlboPM is colluding with them at having a jolly ol’ laugh at every Australian’s expense. Literally.

Aside from that, it seems we can’t afford the NDIS— Give me a break.

If #AlboPM is resisting the #GasTax because he gave his ‘word’ to foreign gas recipient’s demands (aka Bullying) to not do so, then he’s a bigger mug than I thought and frankly not as savvy as he portrays.

One: Those mulit-year fixed prices gas export contract will outlast the #Hormuz debacle (plan?) so any increases the #Grifting Corporations might add to the price of gas will be felt years from now when contracts are to be renewed.

Two: The #Investors are also the recipients of the gas and a tax on gas will cut into their egregious profit margins. So who cares?

Conclusion: AlboPM is complicit (knowingly or otherwise) to the rape and pillage of Australian sovereign #resources and a flight of our currency to foreign shores.

Ergo — kick #Labor out of govt and put the Greens in to fix this shit!

Tegan George adds further weight to the argument favouring #TaxReform in the #FossilFuelIndustry and #GasSuperProfits with this article for The Point:

“A lead analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) has argued that conditions are ripe for an overhaul of how Australia taxes liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, with gas giants preparing to cash in on another global price surge.”

There are maybe two or three people over on the evil hellsite (which I know, you are thinking I am talking about the birb site, but this time I am referring to the most evil social network of all, LinkedIN) that I respect.

Both of them have the guts to call out "AI" for the grift it is. Conversely, it's a place where I've lost respect for countless people that I used to hold in high esteem.

I cannot fucking wait for the bubble to burst. I am so sick of the "AI" grift. Let's go on to the next one, please!
