Fucking the working class.
They handled the pandemic well with regards to small businesses
50% of your normal monthly income, free, no questions asked. That was great lol, sat on my arse for six months
Also, 1% of my taxes get put into a training fund that I can spend on any kind of training I want. Doesn’t have to be relevant to my business at all
Jesus, Lemmy, this should be a positive thread not just an opportunity to complain
Yea, didn’t see it going this way either.
Killing brown people. Incredibly skilled at it.
Corruption, and running enterprises into the ground with. Our countries official power utility, our postal service, our railways, our police as examples. You know , the stuff we kind of need as citizens. Edit: Our taxation is world class though.
Historically we have had good education and OK healthcare. The trend is downward.
The military has been really good with purchasing used but good equipment for cheap.
The foreign policy has been consistent, and even opponents to military alliance pushed for NATO when Pootin screwed the pooch.
Abandoning public services and privatizing them :(
NL?
Welfare for giant corporations
National Parks. Make fun of the US as much as you want, I have travelled to a lot of other countries and have always tried to find something on par with Americas National Parks, and really only Iceland comes close.
Gun violence. Police murder. Cover-ups.
Parks and interstate freeways
Incarcerate citizens.
Australia is super good at dryland cropping, growing wheat where there’s fuck all water.
Also, digging up red soil and flogging it to China at a rate that you can almost feel the earth’s axis shifting.
Shoot itself in the dick
Taxes. They have an incredible talent to raise new taxes.
And, more seriously, like already mentioned in another comment: destroying public services. which is a real sad thing to see happening, if you ask me.
