None of those things you listed represent “quality of life” in any capacity. I highly doubt anyone who’s working two jobs/60h weeks is spending too much time thinking about driving a sports car for one weekend a year. They’re thinking

I'd rather have public healthcare and a government that "controls far more of your life" than some faceless insurance company controlling my access to healthcare.

I’ve noticed more and more issues with sites on Firefox. Tried to buy some stuff on IKEA and the shopping cart just didn’t work on FF (tried Incognito too) but worked fine on Chrome/Safari.

Think you’re massively overplaying KSOs influence on the changes in the lockout laws. If anything KSO distracted younger voters away from the Greens, and to a point Labour, who are far more useful parties for that demographic.

One reason I am finding it hard to ditch Firefox is the password management from Lockwise (which is now going away). How is Brave with passwords?

You can build houses all day long but that doesn't automatically make them places anyone can thrive in. Sydney (some of the highest house prices in the world) has a few new estates built outside the city but they suffer from no schools

You requirements for a good life change as your age changes - what you value during your 20's is not the same as what you value in your 40's, in the same way what you value in your 20's isn't the same as what you valued

Can only speak about city Sydney where I live, but here the rent is so much more affordable than buying. My place costs $3250p/m rent but a mortgage would be ~$6000p/m.

This is the first time I've seen the reasoning behind the interview process they use explained in a way that makes sense. Thanks.

I’ve lived in both. They’re not that similar - mostly because Spanish/Catalan and Portuguese cultures and personalities are pretty different. Both great cities and you’d probably have a great time living in both.

This doesn't seem to be the case in Australia. The lack of migrant workers coming into the country has made it incredibly difficult to recruit skilled employees in 'office roles' and the market is insane for pretty much every

My partners grandmother in Sydney moved into a care home earlier this year as she nears the end of her life. She had to pay over $500,000 upfront which gives her 10 years of care there, and then its a pro-rated amount is refunded upon death

Don't overthink it. Don't setup a company right now, you're not one - yet. If you want to setup an entity quickly with minimum effort then a sole trader would probably be the quickest way to make things 'legitimate'
