  • As a parent of 2 kids under 10, at this age they don’t care about brands. The school uniforms are much more expensive than any t shirts or shorts or track pants from Kmart or bigW (Aussie retailers). Poorer kids still get hand me downs and second hand, whereas richer kids get brand new. Most kids are only-child these days, so the concept of hand me downs is less prevalent within a family.

    For teens, I can understand that point, but for teens I think self expression and exploring identity are key parts of growing up.






  • The uk doesn’t generally provide housing. It does provide a monetary allowance for those that don’t have a primary residence near Westminster. Places like downing st are for the convenience of the state, not the politician, like the White House. The royals, on the other hand…

    This is very different. This is people getting given government housing because they are feeling unwelcome in the community. It’s hypocritical and, as the article points out, it’s pushing out the people this housing was designed to accomodate.

    Of course it’s not really socialism, as it’s not for everyone. The point is the state is proving their wants (not needs) while they deny the needs of others.
