Also of note: Australian inner cities (inc. Hamilton) are not like in the US… Not anymore.

Urban “renewal”/“regeneration” has made them more like… Inner London, or Paris, with localized pockets of almost always Aboriginal poverty (Redfern in Sydney, West End in Brisbane, West/North Melbourne), but then those are surrounded by relative wealth…

Inner suburbs like Hamilton are always the wealthiest part of each capital city, and then real, independent-of-ethnicity poverty is generally found much more widespread in the outer suburbs and satellite towns…

Like the UK.

So… She’s made enough money to make it into one of the five most expensive suburbs in the entire state. Lord knows, she doesn’t get to complain about this shit, lol. Let alone the hundreds of thousands of dollars (!!) in surgeries, tatts, piercings, etc…

Just shows you that desperate men will pay for anything, if it means they get some crumbs, lol…

Meanwhile, I have medical bills sending me broke, and yet have zero body modification, but I’m a guy, so I’m fucked, and the system doesn’t give a shit, ahaha…

Fuck this country. How can “body modification” and “gender reassignment surgery” be subsidized, and yet dentistry, fucking “urgent” dentistry, can leave someone $10k in debt (so far)??! And that’s even after private health cover (yes, really. That is the “gap”)…

Whew, that turned into a rant… Apologies. 😔
