In Australia and possibly elsewhere

Expenditure priorities in times of scarcity

When facing cost of living pressures, people would be wise to assess expenditure priorities. With accommodation costs at astronomic levels and food costs rising, cutting back on costs associated with social and recreational pursuits seems a common sense choice. Given Australia’s economic circumstances, I am amazed that expenditures on alcohol, sports venue attendance, gambling, and food delivery to homes by Uber (adding hugely to costs) have not been trimmed.

Solar farms sitting idle

P

This fiasco situation results from the ‘cart before the horse’ organisation and strategy. Common sense dictates that before solar farms are built, that provision is in place for the electricity generated to be input into the grid in a seamless way that adds to capacity and supply. But no! Build the solar farms, then muddle around to try and determine how their output can be used. What a schemozzle.
