“My money is mostly stocks, which means it comes from underpaying and undervaluing working-class people, and that’s impossible to disconnect from the economic legacies of Indigenous genocide and slavery,” Ms. Gelman said. “Once I realized that, I couldn’t imagine doing anything with my wealth besides redistribute it to these communities.”

…

Heres the sort of slime tenured and burrowed in like ticks to keep the flame of idiocy alive.

“The wealth millennials are inheriting came from a mammoth redistribution away from the working masses, creating a super-rich tiny minority at the expense of a fleeting American dream that is now out of reach to most people,” said Richard D. Wolff, a Marxist and an emeritus economics professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst who has published 12 books about class and inequality.

He said he has been professionally arguing against capitalism’s selling points since his teaching career began, in 1967, but that his millennial students “are more open to hearing that message than their parents ever were.”

…
Heirs whose wealth has come from a specific source sometimes use that history to guide their giving. Pierce Delahunt, a 32-year-old “socialist, anarchist, Marxist, communist or all of the above,” has a trust fund that was financed by their former stepfather’s outlet mall empire. (Mx. Delahunt takes nongendered pronouns.)

“When I think about outlet malls, I think about intersectional oppression,” Mx. Delahunt said. There’s the originally Indigenous land each mall was built on, plus the low wages paid to retail and food service workers, who are disproportionately people of color, and the carbon emissions of manufacturing and transporting the goods. With that on their mind, Mx. Delahunt gives away $10,000 a month, divided between 50 small organizations, most of which have an anticapitalist mission and in some way tackle the externalities of discount shopping.

HAS STATE BEEN OMI-CONNED?

PETER LAW

Seven of the Premier’s key reasons for ditching the planned February 5 reopening do not stack up

Claims made by Mark McGowan to justify his decision to delay the reopening of the WA border indefinitely do not stand up to proper scrutiny.

The West Australian fact checked claims the Premier made in his prime-time television address on Thursday night and which he repeated at Friday’s press conference.

They showed inconsistencies with evidence about what is really happening in Australia’s hospitals amid an explosion in Omicron cases in the Eastern States over the past month.

Some basic facts were incorrect and repeated many times despite being wrong, as Mr McGowan attempted to mount an argument that delaying the February 5 reopening would help WA avoid a “catastrophe”.

Claim #1: “South Australia had 11 people die today, back when they opened they were COVID-free like us, so that’s the sort of thing we’re doing our best to avoid.”

South Australia’s Premier Steven Marshall earlier on Thursday announced 11 deaths over the previous 24 hours, but cautioned he had been advised by Chief Health Officer Nicola Spurrier that the “unusually high number” was possibly a backlog.

“She said, ‘Look, it’s quite possible that it’s an accumulation for a number of days’,” Mr Marshall said.

“There is no urgent reporting requirement from residential aged-care facilities into SA Health related to COVID, and so sometimes there’s a bit of a catch up.”

Claim #2: “There’s been a surge in hospitalisations around Australia, with an average of almost 5000 Australians hospitalised a day since the start of the year with COVID.”

There were 5147 patients with COVID-19 hospitalised in Australia on Thursday. The peak was two days earlier, when there were 5307 people hospitalised with the virus.

The West Australian calculated that since January 1 there had been a daily average of 3800 people hospitalised with COVID-19 in Australia, well below the 5000 cited by the Premier.

Claim #3 “Hospitals are overflowing with patients, hospitals in meltdown. That’s what’s happening and it would be grossly irresponsible of me not to watch and act on the basis of that.”

The Federal Health Department on Thursday published its weekly report on how hospitals were coping with the number of COVID patients.

It showed 8 per cent of hospital ward beds and 22 per cent of ICU beds across Australia were occupied by COVID patients.

In NSW, those figures were 12 per cent (ward beds) and 24 per cent (ICU).

Australia’s Chief Medical Officer, Paul Kelly, on Wednesday said the nation’s hospitals were “coping” at the moment.

“These are levels of coping that have been agreed with the States and Territories in our common operating picture through the National Cabinet, and so in terms of hospitalisations right across the country, that’s still green, in a green-orange-red traffic light system,” Professor Kelly said.

“In terms of intensive care, there is pressure, so several States are showing amber and are taking action appropriately for that, and Victoria has been in that higher level of red for the last couple of weeks.

“But even there, that means that they’re at 33 per cent of their capacity. So there is plenty of capacity.”

Claim #4: “I can’t predict what the future will hold and we couldn’t predict Omicron. Omicron came along on December 8 in Australia.”

NSW Health announced Australia’s first case of Omicron on November 28 — 10 days earlier than the Premier’s claim — after genomic sequencing showed two overseas arrivals had the strain.

The first suspected case of community transmission of Omicron was on December 3, a Sydney school student with no history of overseas travel.

Mr McGowan again wrongly stated on Friday that Australia’s first Omicron case was on December 8 while defending the timing of his Government’s rapid antigen tests order.

The Premier’s office later said he had been provided incorrect information.

Claim #5: “If there’s an argument somehow we should have gone and spent half a billion dollars on rapid antigen tests with some sort of foresight for a virus that didn’t exist at that point in time, I think it’s a very unfair argument.”

The Premier has been unable to reveal the exact date WA Health ordered millions of rapid antigen tests, only saying it was in the first half of December.

The Commonwealth and State governments agreed on November 5 to share the cost of RATs required to comply with public health orders.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration approved the sale of RATs for at-home use from November 1, but the ban on their sale was not lifted in WA until January 10.

WA Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson said she expected there would be 10 million RATs in the State stockpile at the start of February, with 1.5 million already in stock and more than 80 million by April.

Ten weeks ago, the Victorian Government announced it was giving kindergartens, daycare centres and schools free RATs to help manage outbreaks.

Claim #6: “The science shows that people with only two doses of a COVID vaccine have only a 4 per cent protection against being infected by the Omicron variant, but a third dose can provide a 64 per cent protection against infection.”

The Premier on Friday said these figures had been provided by WA Chief Health Officer Andy Robertson and were based on academic papers.

Dr Robertson’s written advice attributes it to a research paper published in Denmark on December 27.

The study found Omicron was up to 3.7 times more infectious than Delta among the vaccinated and the booster reduced transmission.

The Premier’s office referred questions to WA Health. Dr Robertson told The West his advice referred to a table contained in the report on the effect of vaccination.

The West was unable to find anywhere in the report that explicitly states double dose protection fell to 4 per cent and received no explanation about how Dr Robertson extrapolated the data.

Last week, the UK Health Security Agency said vaccine effectiveness against Omicron 20 weeks after a second dose of Pfizer or Moderna fell to 10 per cent.

Two to four weeks after a booster, effectiveness ranged from about 65 to 75 per cent, falling to 55 to 65 per cent at five to nine weeks and 45 to 50 per cent from 10 weeks.

Claim #7: “The local AMA (Australian Medical Association) endorsed our move (to delay reopening) and called for it.”

AWA WA president Mark Duncan-Smith did not call for a delayed reopening. He instead advocated the Government immediately impose harsher restrictions to slow the transmission of Omicron already spreading in WA.

HAS STATE BEEN OMI-CONNED?

In the Senate, the party has launched an attack to “kick out” Pauline Hansen and install teacher and unionist Penny Allman-Payne.

Ms Allman-Payne said the Greens were in a good position to end the “stranglehold” of Ms Hanson’s One Nation.

Good luck with that.
The overlap between PHON and Green Senate voters = 0.

Good to see The West doing its job for a change – even if just a little. The ABC, on the other hand, keeps the pandemic panic war footing at Defcon 1:

Ahh yes, so appealing.

Oh yes. A protest vote.

The Anikin/Padme & “Always Was” memes come to mind.

It beats me why anybody would get upset about randoms and their comments on the internet.
Though some do write things to get a rise out of people. Something I would never do. No sirree Bob. That kind of thing can get you kicked off a certain British Army (unofficial) site.
Then again, people can be unkind.

The West will have a massive drop in government advertising, that’ll fix it

Dear Dr BG – I haven’t yet received such missive, but wonder if it will apply to purchasing alcohol at Aldi.

I don’t have an Aldi within reach, so I am going to have an accommodation with my local bottle shop to pay him by bank transfer and have him deliver. My local vietnamese restaurant does takeaway. So I shan’t be greatly inconvenienced.

I had been considering the novavax, but not any longer. The more government tries to coerce me, the more resistant I become to the whole vaccination bizzo.

Then again, people can be unkind.

Cwuel, so very cwuel.
I welcome the opportunity to seek vengeance on all those who have said cwuel things to me.
I will start with all those who call me incoherent!

Patrick Kelly,
Watched the tube one of the Sydney march.
Why is there always some mimdless moron making mong music on a drum?
If you kicked them in the cods you would be the bad one.
Having said that I still would have liked to have gone. If I wasn’t a raspberry ripple.

Another thing that will be interesting to keep an eye on – I wonder how many people those places that do check fastidiously will be turning away? Because if it’s quite a lot, I think we will have some idea of how trustworthy the cited ~95% vaccination rate is.

I estimate 10-25 % of blue collar workers and 2% of white collar men either themselves or someone more IT literate than them, has acquired a cert. from my lil anon or gladys channo have no eggs.

Just for sh*ts-n-giggles, you should LARP as a schoolie and hassle green-card holders going into the bottle-o to buy you a fridge pack of Jack’s n coke.
And get a coolie hat and pretend you’re a Effing Vietnamese Balt, wait at the front door of the restaurant with an empty tin dish, calling “Aussie Aussie Skippy Skippy, me no can work or move, you got UN ration for meeee?”
Oh, the fun i’d have if I were retired and unmarried…

The only thing that would move me to get vaxxed is the ability to travel abroad. Fuck McGowan and Morro and their rules – I wouldn’t do it for them. However, I have family OS and, at the end of the day, if I want to enter their countries, I have to abide by their rules. Not much I can do about that if I want to visit. Also, do the airlines permit the unvaxxed to travel?

Not planning a trip any time soon, however. It’d only be if someone got very sick or something like that. Let’s see if the madness dies down. Now that England has nixed virtually all of its Covid restrictions and Ireland has done much the same, I think these could be the first dominoes to fall.

Oh Come On,
I cut up my cards to any establishment that required the peon’s passport after freedom day 2:in NSW.
Fortunately my local couldn’t care less. And it’s been kind to me with keno.
I purchased a swag of tshirts that arrived Thursday. The one I wore yesterday had “When Tyranny Becomes Law Resistance Becomes Duty”.
I don’t normally wear Tshirts but Monday will be “Vikings Against Fascism”.
Anyway keep staunch. Fascists can kiss arses.

I think these could be the first dominoes to fall …

Does that mean Mein BatearedFuhrermeisterFuckhead and his elf lacky will fall?

As dominoes they are both a double #2.

Got the WA gummint information email yesterday, telling me I wouldn’t be allowed into a restaurant or bottle shop without a vaccine certificate after the end of this month.

I have the sensation of living in a really bad horror movie, where some fascist loonies try to take over the place. And when you look around for ppl to fight it, you find that most of them have been turned into compliant zombies. So it’s not just a fascist takeover movie, it’s a zombie apocalypse movie too.

Oh well. At least it’s not so boring as just watching one.

Wifey and I went out for dinner last night with a group of middle aged middle class people Wifey is associated with and, apart from another couple, all were jabbed. I had last associated with this same group over a year ago, all were then praising the virtues of McGowan, nothing has changed since.

The only difference I noticed was a sense of apprehension, a fear of something unknown which wasn’t there over a year ago. There was also a lot of defensiveness which wasn’t there previously, for example when I mentioned Boris Johnson’s removal of all mandates some became very agitated about how this will kill everyone in the UK and their pets too.

Zombiefication is already happening, it’s not through the injected concoctions but through a psychological process of induced fear. These people will cheer when the unvaxxed are deported to their internment camps.

It will empower Australians to ‘unmask’ the originators of anonymous defamatory comments …

A question fellow cats and Johnsons. Does the unmasker first have to show that the comment does not originate prior to the new law? Or is it retrospective legislation?
