AVZ Discussion 2022

[Mute22]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you all a quick update. Some of you have noticed that I’ve been absent lately — and you’re right, I have.

In short, I suffered a workplace injury that’s left me dealing with a lot of anxiety and stress. While I’ve traditionally worked in a high-tech capacity (and yes, as a few of you super-sleuths figured out), I’m now doing lawn mowing and property maintenance in my local area. This is actually part of my treatment and recovery plan.

I’ll still be checking in from time to time — cleaning up abusers, keeping things in order, and making sure the place runs smoothly — but please understand that using technology can still be quite traumatic for me. That’s the only reason I go quiet at times.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hope you're doing alright mate, your health is your wealth.

We can deal with a couple of trash-tier spammers, we have had to fight with bad actors on multiple platforms for years. In the grand scheme of things, it's really water off a ducks back at this point.

I have added filters which caught most attempts, and I also did a clean up again this morning of those it missed. Hopefully some other added filters this morning knocks the rest on their head... but its really a never-ending battle.

Would it be possible to implement moderators for each respective stock forum?

Hi @zeeb0t, thanks very much. Take care, and sorry for the persistent messaging over the past few weeks but it was done as the site was heading towards total abandonment by the AVZ crew to another site.

To the supportive AVZ team, I think we can resume normal transmission on this thread

If Yaseen's mob starts up again, then we’ll reappraise. I have a complete list of who they might be - lets see what happens

Hi @zeeb0t we need some form of moderation. Please consider assigning moderation powers at least on a trial basis. @Xerof knows who the trusted regulars with an interest in keeping the site running smoothly are.

About fucken time!

What will be Kinshasa's next strategy? After Félix Tshisekedi's outstretched hand to restart dialogue, Kigali, through the voice of its Foreign Minister, slams the door shut: "He can always wait until the Greek calends, because Rwanda is truly not interested." A scathing statement that reignites the question: towards diplomacy or towards deterrence?

Wealth taxes don't work in the real world

Suggesting people can just take out loans to cover this sort of situation is batshit insane

Lol

Chalmers finally took the L

Labor has watered down its super tax proposal. Here's the new version

Every prominent criticism of the tax has been addressed, with the result that it will apply to fewer people and raise less money.

No tax on 'unrealised' gains​

The other source of controversy was that Labor's tax was going to treat assets held in super funds in a novel way.

The earnings tax applies only to "realised" gains — such as when interest is earned, a dividend is received, or a property is sold.

But the proposed tax would have also covered "unrealised" gains — such as an increased valuation of a home, a farm, or a painting held inside a self-managed super fund.

But critics said it was unfair to tax people for gains in the value of assets that were not "liquid" (that is, that do not provide them an income stream).

Now, it has been scrapped. The new version of the proposal will apply only to realised gains, and the start date for the tax has been pushed back to 2026 to allow super funds time to figure out how to apply it.

"Novel" is one way to put it.

It distracted people away from the major topics didn’t it…..
