fsck off. Stop pouring our money down the money hole!

They are taking money from health and policing to pay for this. Good frigging grief, but this cANCer have their priorities horribly wrong.

 

[Kung Fu Porkchop]

Would it be a hate crime if I wondered out loud why someone hasn't permanently removed these incompetent and corrupt asshats from the world yet?

Im willing to bet that this 10bil will just cover debt when they first asked for the bailout. It wont even touch sides its just going straight through and another bailout will be needed.

It would be optimistic to think that they'll use this "bailout" to cover the debt etc. Most of the 10 billion will likely end up in someone's pocket

The ANC:

The new Dawn of South Africa. Take money away from healthcare and policing in a country with serious health and policing issues and hand it over to a bankrupt airline with profitable competitors.
Thank goodness we have the government to distribute resources "rationally" instead of the market.

 

[Quicks]

Down the drain. Just heard on the radio they get additional 6.5 Billions to pay off some debt.

Wake up you idiots. Play by the ANCs rules or be prepared to lose the game...

My damn phone just had the next word as weight on predictive text after I typed lose..more upset about that than the R17b to SAA

No, a revolution is needed. Diplomacy doesn't work. It's time to take these ***** out.

 

[RedViking]

What will it take for a tax revolt to happen?
How far do they need to go before this happen?
Surely if we could face something like lockdown, we can face a revolt?

How close are we to one?

 

[xodosman123]

How much money can they actually waste? and it is allowed to Continue really...

 

[Gordon_R]

I made the mistake of watching the news on TV, while eating my supper. Left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth...

However, public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan and the ANC were insistent that SAA needs to keep flying, and this must come from state funding.
