Why are cars all such boring colours now? It’s all black, white, greys, red and a little dark blue. Is it something to do with the flag? Is it like the millennial grey thing where there’s some dumb idea about resale value? It’s all so BORING

someone was explaining Chinese labor law on reddit the other day w/ this and I had to screenshot it because it just seems so totally unreal

The employees involved were full time employees. Under Chinese labour laws, employers can only terminate full time employees before the expiry of their employment contracts for four sets of reasons: (1) Gross misconduct; (2) Persistent inability incompetence in the job the employer was hired for despite repeated attempts for improvement; (3) Collective dismissal upon approval from the Ministry of Labour and the relevant trade union; and (4) Mutual agreement - i.e. the employee accepts an incentive in return for their resignation. Not included in this is the employer just one day deciding they don't need the employee anymore and unilaterally terminating the employee. The court would require that a company so adversely affected by disruption that it needs to start laying off employees submit for review with the Ministry of Labour, enter in formal restructuring, seek consultation with the trade unions, file a redundancy report They would then be obligated to attempt retraining of its current workforce, and if that failed then provide severance compensation. Additionally, long time employees, pregnant employees, and employees who are sole income earners for their families are also protected from dismissal.

A key reason people in China are more receptive to AI than in America is that the courts there have ruled that you can't just lay people off because Claude can now do research and write code. You need a better reason than that. In America, CEOs can't wait to get rid of "low value human capital".

Say goodbye to the enormous tax concessions that encourage people to speculate on property, pushing up house prices. "This will mean more of the properties that come up for sale will be sold to owner-occupiers and first home buyers. More people will live in a home of their own." #auspol #budget2026
