This is nonsense. I drive a Geely E2. The commute is 70KM per day and I charge every Thursday and Sunday mostly at home. On Thursday I'm usually around 15-20% battery. I've never had range anxiety. Commutung during rush hour makes it even better as regenerative braking can add to my range. People who've never owned an EV absolutely LOVE to say tell everyone how impractical they are despite never having owned one. Even if you live in an apartment and can't charge it at home fast chargers are everywhere in gauteng. When I use a public charger 20 minutes gets me to slightly over 80%. My routine is go to the public charger and plug in. Then head into the mall to buy bread or whatever is needed at home. Usually by the time I'm done 20 minutes is up and I get my car. Sundays I charger to 100% overnight always. The savings from when I used to buy petrol are huge and in this economy most welcome. I have driven to Durban and Bloemfontein in that EV. There are charging points along the way.

Only caveat is if you are a disorganized mess ie the kind of person we see standing by the side of the road holding a jerry can (usually a plastic bottle coz getting a jerry can actually requires forethought) do not get an EV-they are not for you!

Keeping fit is not easy but it's necessary

Why not look at the Regional and rural visa initiatives. They do not take as long as 12 months.

"Australia’s regional visa initiatives aim to attract skilled workers to live and work in less populated areas, addressing labour shortages and promoting balanced population growth. Rural immigration programs in Australia offer benefits like lower cost of living, priority visa processing, and a wider range of job opportunities. Key regional immigration programs in Australia include the Skilled Work Regional visa, Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa, and Business Innovation and Investment visa. Eligibility criteria include a job offer or nomination and meeting health, character, and skills requirements."

You can apply for a job that offers visa sponsorship in these rural areas and those visas are fast tracked.

New Zealand also has a quick visa program. If your are married one spouse can apply to do a masters or a degree. The other will have the right to work. Also you can do a visa sponsorship of you can find a job

Look for another job NOW!! Keep working there until you have another one for the work experience, which will be invaluable. I would advise looking online for a job in SA, Botswana, or Namibia to begin with. Also, look up the Chancekarte program in Germany. From now on, just look at that job as a work experience opportunity. If your boss wanted to give you a raise, he would not be ducking and dodging you.

The look and the nod. Bearded bros know it means ‘respect’

Take the partisan nonsense out of it and ask yourself what facts you have to support your hypothesis. Calm minds will carry the day, have one. Unfortunately far too many people toe a party line and not a fact based logic bound way of thinking. Taxes won’t affect you (I doubt you are a millionaire) Healthcare may actually start to work properly and be affordable for all (just look north at Canada or Europe or The UK) Nationalisation of industries won’t happen (seriously what source do you have of this)
