If I wanted to grab a command on the 73, the difference would be astronomical. Also, my 401k (Think Super), will be about 3 times what it would have been in Oz.

Of course I have to deal with two kids that have Yank accents and the odd trumper but there’s stupid people the world over.
Of course under Trump, your money was worth a lot more, and your 401K was worth a lot more,we weren’t on the verge of WW3 but yes couldn’t agree more there are stupid people everywhere.
