Off the top of my head I can't think of a single ideology that does not intersect with another is some way.
Communism and Fascism, which are supposedly the polar opposites of each other (Left vs Right) are virtually the same thing. Its the lay perception of them that puts them at the opposite end and I suspect that its a false dichotomy left over from the second world war where Hitler and Stalin shaped up each other as ideological enemies.

If there is a hateful right, they have zero influence. The extreme "left" ties itself in with issues that sound like they are good and just, instead they are toxic groups trying to engineer social change that will destroy the future for our children.I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

AUD$50 or US$35 an hour is pretty much the minimum any tradesman will get. How does that measure up? I could be quite precise about various trades if you want.Risto the Great

How much does it cost to have a bathroom or Kitchen remodeled? Here I typically charge $15,000 for a bathroom and about $20,000 for an average kitchen, this is labor only.

Those figures wouldn't be outrageous here. But nobody would quote labour separately here. It would be a total price.Risto the Great

These figures also depend on the trade you're engaging, typically the licensed trades like electrical and plumbing tend to charge like wounded bulls as do the labour intensive building trades such as concreting and bricklaying, although the last two occupations have spiked in $p/h because of a lack experienced operators, this has certainly been the case here in Victoria.
Typically a bricklayer will quote (as a rule of thumb) $ something per brick layed, (usually in excess of $1+ per brick and that was many years ago)...makes for an interesting and fucking expensive hourly rate charged by an experienced brikie.
In Victoria the building boom has been two decades long, it all started around 2000 at the time of the introduction of the GST...those in the building game have seen money like never before...before 2000 most of these guys were living modest lifestyles beaten up vans, often struggling during lean times, today they're rarely seen in a work vehicle less than $50K and their wives are in Merc's and BMW's...and sometimes Aston Martins and Bentleighs...no shit...I've seen it all.

A brickie client of mine said he has tried over 25 new apprentices and none have lasted longer than 24 hours. Trades will make a fortune in the next generation.Risto the Great

That is the main reason I gave up a relatively easy and safe office gig to start from scratch. I forsee a future severely lacking in trades.
Right now trucking is sucking up a lot of the uneducated labor. They get paid 80k to 100k a year to just drive. I'm actually considering buying some semi trucks and seeing if I can start a trucking company. Thanks Amazon.

I wanted to purchase Tesla Put options that cost $5 at a strike price of $245 3 weeks ago when the stock was at $250 Those options would have expired this Friday at which point I could either sell the options for a $55 dollar profit or exercise them and close out the trade with Tesla stock at $193 as of today. Those options would have cost me 5k and I would have grossed 55k in proceeds, 50k net profit. BUT freaking E-trade thought it was too risky of a trade because I was already shorting Tesla stock and said I wasn't experienced enough to make such a trade. Thanks for watching out for me you cunts!
