God I absolutely despise when those executive high up gronks from companies go on the radio and and act like they understand. Fuck off, you don't understand shit, you would have no problems with like... Being afford to live

Like the Qantas CEO saying things like "We've listened and so we're changing" or any of the supermarket reps. All of it's just fluff and BS

Yeah like the mega rich ones who sleep "rough" for one night to show solidarity to homeless. Build a fucking shelter arsehat.

If only there were some practical solutions they could implement immediately. Like quit avoiding your taxes. Or pay your employees properly.

Years ago my mate got a job at some sleep-rough-for-the-homeless gig at the MCG. Basically camping on the MCG field with cheap camp equipment to generate corporate goodwill. It rained. 90% of people left. Housemate came home with as many breakfast packs as he could carry. Like 50 of them. We all ate well for a few days.
