I'm going to be a tourist myself the next 4 weeks! I will be on the receiving end of those beers.
Be my guest. You be proud of RBA and the destructive results of its lack of policy has resulted in Australia.
I'll give my respect to something where it is due.


Working for beer in lieu of money? Not sure I'd call that a holiday but each to their own. Anyway, Bonne Vaccances.

I guess some will do anything for a few free beers. Out of 1.3 Billion people, or whatever the figure is, there may well be one that will indulge you. America, in excess of 300 million, though not sure about New Yorkers, may equally put their hand in their pocket. If you keep to Bali, of course you could prevented save yourself going off budget.

If you have never debated in 'real life' hardly my fault. Contradictory, no not at all. Although saying that I could play Devil's Advocate, and get the message some are attempting to 'get out' on this forum, with greater ease, although I say it myself.
You really need to work on your syntax. Half your sentences make no sense and have commas and fullstops all over the place. To address your statement, I've been around, and debating with, left leaning economists most of my career, in my experience, with a few celebrity economist exceptions, they tend to be more grounded in reality and can make coherent argument based on research. In comparison you're about as troublesome as a cloudy day.

I expect you agree with tax cuts for the well heeled though?
I don't think you should assume anything. Ahh...The CPI says prices aren't rising, but my finger in the wind anecdote says they are, therefore they are.

I said internally contradictory. You play Devil's advocate with yourself.

Your career? By own reckoning you are in your twenties. Now that's some career longevity. I'm afraid the greenness behind the ears, especially but not confined to, when attempting to get the 'upper hand' is all too evident, My sentences make plenty of sense, unfortunately they pass over your head, but then by own reckoning you are only in your twenties, so life experience at a minimum, let alone being exposed to anything like alternative and/or challenging views, but never the less certainly have a ticket on yourself, (certainly deluded by feelings of grandeur and no doubt self importance)which I can shred in as many pieces as so desire on every on line encounter. It must do your head. But you make it so easy.....By the way would be 'over the moon' , to hear your ability at speaking the two languages you once claimed to speak.

I'll leave the playing with oneself, to obviously someone with experience in that particular matter as yourself.
Hope the syntax is not beyond your comprehension level of understanding. English being a somewhat, simplistic language, I just assume native speakers of the mono lingual variety, well be in a possession to grasp it.

Ha! Thanks for making my point.

Such a simplistic language and yet someone of your eminent intelligence has trouble constructing the most basic sentence.

Of course you are. It really doesn't matter , as you could be a spotty sixteen year, attempting to be adult. It's not about you, but the content.
