You guys have houses?
Sir_KevinDo vehicles count as houses?
Remember when Bush was talking to a divorced mother of three, including a 'mentally challenged' son, working three jobs just to make ends meet and he said:
You work three jobs? Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that.
Yeah, shit's been broke for so long now .
Australia has roughly the same land mass as the US and less than 10% of the population. So housing here outside of the state capitals is still somewhat affordable, but the situation is getting rapidly worse.

I think having to label "ordinary" workers as the ones with multiple jobs should be the sign that things have gone terribly wrong
Or according to plan if one's an asshole
I’m so burned out from years of multiple jobs and schooling while working. I’ve cut my expenses down as much as I reasonably can and now just slowly drain my savings and sell things off waiting for my oomf to come back to get another job again. But I’m so tired.

Uhh for any non-Australians the SMH is very much not a left wing newspaper. Its centre-right to hard right.
It also routinely fails fact checks alongside a whole host of other issues, as can be verified through ABCs Media Watch - an actual quality source of media monitoring compared to a random man from North Carolina running the MBFC site.
Someone needs to shut this bot down. I thought it was cool at first then I learned what Media Bias Fact Check actually is.
I guess I could block it but then I couldn't downvote it.
I’m thinking it’s “centre left” from an American perspective.
That's just the BS lie they told us to try and get us to accept the garbage thing.
