I may have said this before but as I remember it, for me anyway, the "great reset" occurred back in Feb 1966.

When decimal currency came in 1 penny would convert into 2 cents and as an 8 yr old going on 9, I was very elated with this. With many a penny in my piggy bank this was probably the catalyst for me to start financial planning.
By the end of that year though, that conversion was reversed and 1 cent got you 2 pennies. I become so disappointed and disillusioned, even "tapping" coke bottles was becoming a real chore and meant double the effort.
I kept thinking what a bunch of cheats and I hated it with a vengenance. How dare they ruined my plans and dreams!

Not too many years later it came as no surprise that inflation is at the pointy end of economic reality, and oh how our buying power has been eroded since then. $100 in 1966 would buy over $1.5K in 2022. So the $AUD has lost approx. 93% of its value. I felt that decay way back then with "my reset".

You know, funny thing is I tend to think some how it'll all happen again. :2twocents

So sorry but the actual vote was not rigged. Was at the Count myself to make sure. As a scrutineer.

There are a lot of factors that help Labor as in Graft, Legislation and corruption.
Don't diss the Vote. It is a true reflection of the community of the day.

Terrible herds of brainwashed low iq sheeps
vote green, whatever if you are a leftist but no thinking entity could reelect that IMHO
Anyway, thank for checking vote??
 
It must be tough life being the only one out of 1m people or so who has any ability or insight in appreciating the situation.

It's actually common throughout Asia, and formerly, elsewhere.

But what does it mean?

I think everything to do with it pre-1930s has paled into insignificance. Maybe it's a mistake. Surely .

It's a shame, because the original meaning was something like conducive to well-being, or something.
 
Those who've worked in old power stations, electricity networks, old industrial sites, early electric locomotives and so on will likely be well familiar with this one:

The company is legit, nothing to do with Nazis, and used the logo from the 1800's to 1933 when it was replaced for obvious reasons.

Just guessing after having a quick look after your prompting young Wayne ....

This is the Swastika, yes?

Represents a state of "happiness" in Hindu? But Hindu is a minority religion in Thailand??

Old mate Klauss Schwab would not have anything to do with the choice of symbol for the summit would he?! :nailbiting:

Poor deluded sick b@sket KS is :( (And he is definitely not Hindu!)

Apologies if I'm on the wrong track, but I am no fan of Klauss and his followers.


ps JI see that @Sean K and @Smurf1976 have both already responded. I'm a bit slow, but my opinion remains the same;)

Apparently, the symbol is common at Shinto(?) shrines in Japan, but were taken down/hidden for the Tokyo winter Olympics.

Given the attendance of WEF characters, it gives me cause to wonder.

as i understand it the European symbol was an inversion of a Hindu 'good luck' symbol

a certain mustached Austrian was rather into the occult so the inversion probably meant more than 'bad luck '

would any members like to give a better interpretation of the much older Hindu symbol ( it is bound to have been mangled in Western culture )

however i MIGHT be wrong but the person at the podium looks to be Macron , and surely the French ( and Europeans ) have done enough damage in Asia and the Pacific over the last 3 hundred years
