He was not challenged and was let of the hook by the press gallery who seem afraid what could happen to them.werewolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022796219540658064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-68853358504940590672018-02-20T19:08:43.087+11:002018-02-20T19:08:43.087+11:00I wonder if Cater really expects anyone to read th...I wonder if Cater really expects anyone to read this stuff or is it simply a condition of his ongoing funding? Perhaps it is calculated on a "per lie" basis.<br /><br />His description of consumerism as a system where "individuals get to buy what they want" seems a bit wide of the mark. Individuals get to buy what they can afford. My understanding of consumerism is "spending money you don't have for things you don't need to impress people you don't like".<br /><br />At some point in time we stopped being citizens and employees and became consumers and human resources. The difference is that we exist for the corporations, not the other way around. Cater's whole spiel is "who will think of the businesses?". I suppose it reflects the truth that the country is largely run by and for the benefit of big business - the pollies, IPA six wheelers etc are just a charade to distract from the scam.Befuddledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201490489888639207noreply@blogger.com
