Wizofoz you are totally wrong. I don’t have to face any “consequences of capitalism”. I’m well off and can afford anything they throw at me. I’m concerned about typical Aussies.
Buckshot1777, fortunately Australians don’t eat more food because Aldi is here. Aldi has a formula of not sharing the wealth – that is, they spend about 4% of their turnover on staff, compared with 8% spent by the normal supermarkets. Aldi is not only our most profitable retailer, it is also the most trusted. They will get more and more money. The only way Coles, Woolworths and IGA will be able to compete is to sack Australians.
It is what I call “extreme capitalism”. As we get to the limits of growth it starts to work only for the wealthy. We now have 96 billionaires who have doubled their wealth in five years, whilst typical Aussies have hardly kept up with inflation.
