We also have the largest cabinet in the world. Our government – and all the parastatyls are costing the country more than they’re worth. That’s a big issue. Government admin takes up too large an amount of our budget. Oh, if you’re looking for an interesting read, check out the May 2001 Quarterly Journal of Economics - THE IMPACT OF LEGALIZED ABORTION ON CRIME by JOHN J. DONOHUE III AND STEVEN D. LEVITT.

They're conservative about all the wrong things (like conserving their position in power), and progressive about equally wrong things (like giving people fish instead of teaching them to fish). In some American states they found that paying teenage girls to stay child-free during their high school years actually eased economic strain on the cities. There were fewer uneducated mothers who had to quit school to support their fatherless kids, plus all the negative stereotypes that go along with that. We need to do stuff like that here but it will never happen.

If that just meant not having the best net access in the world, or dealing with random corruption, it would be fine, but things in our country aren’t cheerful for a lot of people. Worldwide (mainly Africa) the number of people living below the breadline has been decreasing pretty much year on year since the last ‘80s. In South Africa, the figure is increasing. For a country that doesn’t have a war ongoing or major natural disasters, that’s pretty sad.

You could buy an apartment for R10m in Sea Point 3 or 4 years ago and sell it for R20m now. That's what all the foreigners are doing. I get offers from foreign buyers for my place a few times a month even though it's not on the market. A friend of mine got an apartment roughly for what I paid for mine, but got offered triple the amount in monthly rent from a foreigner. Personally, I think it would be cool if the country goes to shit for like 6 months so that I can buy more property for dirt cheap. And then rent it out at prices only the 0.1% can afford when it gets back on its feet. But that's just me being a selfish prick.

By law there are certain things only council can do wrt connecting some stuff. One example is (happened last week on a site jaq was on) The council needs to come connect the earth for a new house. This is a simple job that one person could do in 30 mins. council rocked up with 4 guys in a van who had to borrow Jaqs tools ..... and ask what to do and where to do it (no idea or care what their jobs are) Once their job was done they connected some phase thing for regular appliances then connected a multiplug to that and finally plugged in their portable fridge and sat and played cards for the rest of the day. SA Government is fucking rotten from the inside out all the way down to council level. Obv not everyone ever but ya'll know what i mean.

He mentions Sol and Zato becoming weaker against elphelt as well. Elphelt can still "win".

Originated from a "piece of eight", or peso de ocho, which was the Spanish dollar. The plural of Peso was Pesos, or Ps. Eventually they thought it would be a cool idea to merge the P and the S (wtf). And then that eventually became the dollar sign we know today.
