#Superannuation was meant to help people save for retirement, but 40 years on it's become a tax dodge for the wealthy. It's now set to cost taxpayers more than the Age Pension.
Watch Alan Kohler break it down:

“The great American (#USA) cultural and economic #hegemony that has lasted for more than 80 years is coming to an end.

America's global economic #leadership was formalised in 1944, when 730 delegates from 44 allied nations met at the Mount Washington Hotel, in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and agreed to base the global trading system on the #USDollar, which would in turn be pegged to #gold.” — Alan Kohler

An simple example. Yesterday sitting down catching up and talking to my neighbour, electric cars come up and the US variety was booed (guess which one) , the CH version lauded (BYD). The world is routing around the USA economically, right now.

If you’re feeling a bit gloomy #AlanKohler has a refreshing and upbeat perspective on the new world order.

#Australian #financial #journalist #AlanKohler of @ABC has been the only commentator I've heard today who hasn't tried to #sanewash the #BatShitCrazy effluent coming out of the mouth of the world's most dangerous man.

Kohler doesn't hold back. He describes #Trump as a man with "zero expertise" who "doesn't know what he's doing". He describes the way that the #tarriffs were calculated as "bonkers".

When they come to throw you into the #gulag Alan I'll proudly share a cell with you.
