Australia has a Superannuation Guarantee. It's currently at 11% and will go to 12%. Employers get fined if they don't pay it to their workers.

Conservatives in Canada are trying to cut it. Conservatives in the USA are attacking social security. Conservatives are vultures. Never vote for conservatives.

Conservatives here are the worst at picking and choosing. They'll happily borrow America's racism, anti-socialism, hypercapitalism, nationalism, mysoginy, gun culture and mass surveillance... but holy crap do they make noise when you put a pumpkin on your front lawn in October.

What's wrong with pumpkins? As an atheist who enjoys festivities and decorations, pumpkins are my go-to this time of year. I get pretty ones from the produce section and cook them at the holiday they were being decorations for. It's fun and it works for Halloween, thanksgiving and solstice.
