You can just literally take the ownership of a portion of the stocks and investments off them and place them in control of a government run sovereign investment team instead. It's not exactly hard to figure out what these are worth at any moment anyway, realized gains or not, that's what the stock market tracks for us and what they use to estimate worth and use as collateral for loans with banks. If banks trust this way of doing it then so can we.

One can just look around the world to see the benefits of the public model Vs private. Universal health care, quality of living standards for the poor (in both developed countries and upcoming counties like China), Norway's national sovereign fund, there are tons of examples where the public model has uplifted and improved the lives of the many Vs the rich and fortunate few.

Yes it's correct that private companies and individuals will run off and stash money overseas if you tax them; that's why public service are public run in the first place so that we aren't over a barrel and can tax these entities appropriately regardless of what they might do. At the end of the day their own greed will ensure they'll want to invest back into our countries where their investments are safe anyway.

They seem to have gone with something called Falcon instead of Firefox for some reason. Maybe because it's lightweight perhaps. I wonder what the hurtles are to having a full fat browser on the platform?

Edit: I found this that explains it. They have Wayland and lots of stuff ported but the Wayland implementation is still missing a few small bits to make it work. Very cool though.

I don't get it. Would make sense if it were the one with nuts.

Thunderbird did get a UI overhaul semi-recently so it might offer what you're after now.

I also liked eM Client which has a free version.

Personally I like Connect even though it's not FOSS because it's layout is similar to RiF.

When I was homeless as a teenager my school gave me second hand uniforms for free at least.

You don't have to vote in Australia. You just have to show up so it proves you were able to vote without impediment if you so choose to. You could draw a penis on it if you even could be bothered.

Voting typically takes place over a weekend in Australia and you have plenty of time to do it. You can also postal vote or absentee vote in advance fairly easily if you wish too. Polling places are literally like every school so there's always one nearby too.

Most Australian schools do not have different materials for uniforms. They arrange with a couple of very specific providers to make official uniforms with exact same materials and quality standards. Saying otherwise shows you don't know what you're on about.

They include the logo on most of their stuff including tops and bottoms specifically so that other companies cannot rip off their uniforms and sell inferior products. It's so controlled it's basically a racket in Australia.
