Improved roading infrastructure and safer cars. Many factors go into it as the article highlights. Good news all round with the figures dropping.

All the focus on the billionaires is false flag stuff.
The real issue is setting a sound economic platform that rewards, promotes and backs success. You need success at scale and lifting all boat higher and a huge wealthy middle class.
Punitive and jealous policy just results in less business, growth and increasing standards of living. Things like a CGT don’t hit the billionaires, it just weakens the middle class even more.

Really inspirational article about Paul Kelly and a similar philosophy I’ve had to be relatively successful:
“If you get two people doing the same job, one is doing 40 hours and one is doing 60. If you’re doing 50% more of whatever you do, you’d have to say you start getting better at it. Because you’re getting better at it, you’re getting more productive per hour, aren’t you?
“So if you can become more productive and do more – it’s not like you’re just doing 50% more, you’re doing 100% more. Next minute you’re doing 200%, 300% more.”
“If you do more hours you’re going to make more money. And then if you work smart within those hours and do more hours, you make an absolute fortune. It’s just the way it is.”
And it’s not just about the money and productivity, you get experience at a phenomenal rate which sets you up for big success. Enjoy your holidays everyone, I’ve got work to do

How many extra hours is ai doing to get good at something? And that's earning billions of the backs of everyone for a select few and stealing jobs.Really inspirational article about Paul Kelly and a similar philosophy I’ve had to be relatively successful:

As Inruin mentioned, it's a far more complex world.
We've had the same system for 50 years, as I mentioned the whole time I've been here. Neoliberalism. It's extracting wealth upwards, and all of us bear the financial and social costs.
The select right wingers can bang on about pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and there is merit in that, but it's so far past those tired tropes now.
The billionaires are rogue, there's fascism openly manifesting and the right are going full blown authoritarian and fascist themselves. Even neoliberalism is too soft now for the oligarchs, the techbros.
They and what I see on the right is quite frankly falling within a normal definition of insanity, certainly sociopathic, probably psychopathic.
So yeah, Inruin, it is far more complex.
Those on the right banging on about immigration? Guess what - AI will take exponentially more jobs and no one will be able to do anything about it, while the billionaires get even richer.
So yes - how much is enough?

I dont subscribe to the AI killing all jobs.
Railroads, industrial age, internet, factories, globalisation, etc all changed the workforce and we just adapted and found new and varied jobs. The unemployment rate never gets affected despite the massive changes. Humans thrive as a species because we adapt. It’s our superpower.
Did we dwell on the demise of video stores? Just look at jobs in people-to-people industries that will always be around.… I’ve got a job in tourism if you need it
So anti technology now too lol
How much is enough? You seem to have done a fair bit of travelling this past year enjoying yourself. How dare you while others are worse off than you. And all in this neoliberal setting. Or is it the typical left trope, attack anything that doesn't actually require anything from yourself to change. It's big corporate or billionaires or oligarchs or..... Easy to sell that to the left followers with a snappy 'we are the 99' or whatever.
I'll tell you something for free (something the left love is free) targeting the top 1% or whatever it is, is going to have minimal effect and certainly not anything like what you seem to desire.

Careful mate, they'll be coming for you soon. Obviously you are one of the evil ones taking advantage....Did we dwell on the demise of video stores? Just look at jobs in people-to-people industries that will always be around.… I’ve got a job in tourism if you need it

It’s not targeting the 1% for change. They know it’s pointless.
It’s about creating division and a common enemy to get enough people upset that they vote a certain was.
Example - get everyone upset by cherry picking 300 mega people to bring in a capital gains tax for 15% of the people like it’s somehow linked.
All part of the lefts divisive personality and propaganda wars.
And just bought a house. More bourgeois than proletariat, that’s for sure.
