		<description><![CDATA[A little over two weeks ago, I succumbed and decided to see exactly what the deal with twitter was. It just didn&#8217;t seem like a wonderful tool &#8211; SMS for the web? Really? But, in the spirit of inquiry, I thought I&#8217;d give it ago. Now, a bit over two weeks later, I can say [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an opinion page on the ABC News page about the increasing rise in house prices (and the subsequent fall in housing affordability). The solution presented: build more housing (not necessarily houses &#8211; apartments are okay too), thus increasing the supply. Unfortunately, that won&#8217;t help.

(All figures and quotes come from the ABS, particularly their Housing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my coworkers tossed out this line today: &#8220;We can&#8217;t just increase the minimum wage, because that would cause inflation&#8221;. I said at the time that didn&#8217;t have to be the case, and I just thought I&#8217;d capture my reasoning in writing.

Inflation occurs because prices go up. Prices go up because:

Now it appears the parents are going to trial. Good.

The short of it is that a young girl, Kara Neumann, died last year, age 11, from juvenile diabetes. As a consequence, her body basically shut down on her, causing severe dehydration. Although rescued from her parent&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Youtube&#8217;s limit of 500 character comment responses probably contributes to that a bit. Anyway, this kicked off a thought train in my head about my own [...]]]></description>
