Hi all. There was a chart on here a week or two ago show the yearly wage earnings and the populations that earns that amount.
If any one could help me find it i would appreciate it.

Just saw an ad from AirBnB which I thought was worth sharing here. If you’ve been displaced or are helping with relief efforts, you can book free accommodations between 8 - 22 November 2019.
Or if you've been unaffected but have some free space in your home, you can register your place for free to those who’ve been impacted or to relief workers helping with recovery efforts.

Shouldn't Sydney and Melbourne have dedicated metro networks by now as in rapid transit? There are so many pro's...
- Rapid transit/metros are faster
- metro trains don't interact with mainstream traffic like trams and suburban commuter trains, which have to use level crossings, they are predominately underground
- driverless
- serve high density areas like the inner city suburbs with frequent stops, essentially like a tram, but underground
It seems that in the 70s, 80s and 90s Australian cities were focusing too heavily on roads and cars when they should have been prioritising better public transport and building metro lines. One academic said that Melbourne's public transport has not been adequately updated for decades, despite some "dressing up" of already existing infrastructure.
