Lol, the only concerning barrier is acquiring a trained workforce? So, you're telling me what type of sub doesn't matter, cost don't matter, and when we are getting them don't matter?

Not to mention, ITAR restrictions don't matter? The fact that we will have highly enriched uranium and will be in violations of nuclear treaties don't matter?

Typical "Naw yeah, she'll be alright mate" australian mentality.

At the end of the day, nuclear submarines are much more suited to future warfare and the types of seas surrounding Australia.

It might not be a "fun" subject, but better to be fully prepared with the right equipment before any future conflicts arise, rather than figuring it out only when the danger becomes apparent.

You do know how social security works, right?

Unless your population keeps having a lot of kids, you'll have to make them work more to guarantee the pension, so the system doesn't collapse on itself.

I should have clarified that my second point about masks was prior to covid. Most people still wear them here (probably 90% but it varies on neighborhood and time of day) now because of covid.

The government is making pushes for April/May for less restrictions, but I think most people will still continue to wear them.
