"Budgets reveal a government’s true priorities. What it spends on is what it most wants to do; what it “can’t afford” is something it doesn’t really want.

So the real question is why the government doesn’t want to fix JobSeeker."

"Taxation has existed for so long, it even predates coin money. Taxes could be applied to almost everything and might be paid with almost anything. These payments went to fund government projects and services—from the pyramids of Giza to the legions of Rome."

How old are taxes? Older than you think

For thousands of years, human civilizations have been collecting taxes, in one form or another. From grain to beards to rubber balls, governments always found new ways to collect their due.

"Over a millennium ago, an ancient society of hunter-gatherers in Argentina’s Patagonia region buried one of its members in a small cemetery. In the same grave, they interred an animal—a fox—which archaeologists think was kept as pet."

Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House, judge says. Justice Lee savages Lerhmann's lies: "I would not accept anything he said". Even if he had won Lehrmann would have been awarded just $20,000. Millions in costs by Ten and Wilkinson. 👉https://theklaxon.com.au/kp11

I believe the position of "abortion only in cases of rape or incest" is about protecting the patriarchy---eradicate the fetus, eradicate the crime.
It's never about protecting females.

You do not need big spaces to help birds, bees, and butterflies and the personal and ecological payoff is mighty!

Alberto Pastor @albertopastor

"If you’re interested in creating habitat for monarchs, focus on providing their two basic needs: a place to breed and a place to fuel up for the long fall migration. Milkweed, which provides excellent breeding habitat, is easy to grow."
🦋🌾🏡 #MonarchButterflies #Habitats #Environment #Gardening

Anyone can help monarch butterflies. All you need is a yard.

If you’re interested in creating habitat for monarchs, it's really simple: Just focus on providing their two basic needs.

SO many reasons to create more accessible green space, but this is a good one.

Alberto Pastor @albertopastor

"It helps people feel better about each other, about themselves, about their neighborhood, about their community, about their street. And it says to people who might commit crimes that people are paying attention and care about this place.”
🌱🪻🏘️ #Greening #Environment #Community #Cities #Nature

One unexpected way to reduce violent crime? Create green spaces.

Cleaning up abandoned lots and creating community gardens doesn't just make a neighborhood feel safer—a growing body of evidence shows they really become safer.
