Always seems to be a bit of sectarian tribalism in US politics. Well historically. Catholics (and to a degree those American cousins of Anglicans - the Episcopals) tended to go to the socially conservative Democrat wing. While the bizarre evangelical (cults) going Republican. So they feel blind loyalty to the cause, no matter what sort of heathen is in there. And Trump is a man of no principles. So will just say and do whatever the base wants, to get popular with those he’s identified as potential voters.

For context. This was upper middle ranking Singaporean schools. Not elite.
But have also had friends teach in South Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese public schools that also don’t have the same social decay and anarchy as western society foist upon them.

Another dagger through the hearts of Australian renters
Australia’s population increased by a record 660,000 people in the year to September, which is roughly 1.5 times the size of Canberra. On Tuesday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released net permanent and long-term arrivals figures for February, revealing record arrivals on a monthly...

Time for Albo to have a mature conversation on what he wants Australia to look like. We can’t afford to be letting in net 105,460 people in Feb 2024. How are we going to house them?
There needs to be bipartisan policy on this so we can own it as a country.
Is not an easy fix, prior to COVID unemployment was over 5%, it's 3.9% now, there's a massive skills shortage.Another dagger through the hearts of Australian renters

It would help if the Libs built some social housing in all those years they were in government.
House prices skyrocket and social housing collapses under the Coalition
Under the current Coalition Government, provision of public housing has fallen to a nadir and house prices are soaring, as Alan Austin reports.

I’m not disagreeing with your points above. The hours worked in economy is less than 12 months so there are many under worked at the moment. And many of my friends in the building industry have stated time and time again that productivity has nose dived since COVID-19. So many people know how to work the system without fearing for their job.
I feel that letting in so many people will do more harm than good for our economy overall and for housing affordability. I want to be able to keep telling my children that if they work hard they can afford to buy a house.
Hopefully less red tape, greater productivity, improved building supplies and reduced demand via lower immigration can be found by all levels of government. But it must start now.
Countries got a few bridges n with the greenies help in recent years, we've got a *smile* load of trees. Just sell all them immigrants a tent n a weber n it'll all be right.Another dagger through the hearts of Australian renters
