Merry Christmas to the MB crew. Love your work and commitment to the cause. Great to be part of your tribe. See you in 2018 😘
Seconded. Here’s hoping that the crash happens soon so I can convince the Mrs to re-memberise myself and rejoin the tribe in 2018!
Merry mandatory-purchases-and-giving-day to you all and a safe, happy and prosperous new year too!
Do these look bullish?

Mate, they’re just so damn bullish – looks like you become a paid member only in 2019, then
Lots of love – your’s truly…………….. forever.
Great year’s work, guys. You should be very proud of your efforts. Thank you.
Well done to all at MB. Enjoy your end-of-year breather!
Merry Christmas to the resistance.
Twitter now allows polls. Could the MacroBusiness website (not the Twitter account) do weekly polls and set it up to only allow paid up members to vote?
Maybe a record amount of blog responses over the break.
M C all
🥃 Merry drunken holidays. 🥃
Cryptos are being “debanked” (sic, Coinspot) by Aussie banks. Bye bye cryptos? 👋
Bitcoin heading for zero

The whales are bailing!
🎅 Happy Xmas, crypto fanboiz! 🎅
Exchanges have been debanked? Might explain why bank supported cryptos, such as ripple have done well:
XRPUSD=1.01
Merry Christmas R2M.
Great work chaps ……come back refreshed in 2018 and keep that disinfecting light shining on the crawling things that live under the carpet of Straya
……..I’m sure many MSM journos peek in here and your messages may seep into some of their domained brains …..especially next year when it might be harder to write gushing real estate stories from ” under the hammer “
Seasons greetings to all, and to sundry, buy yourselves a subscription. 2018 will be an enormous year, astrologers are predicting a significant financial event in May if you don’t believe the sages who write for and comment on this site
It’s been said astrology exists to make economics look credible. Or was it the other way round? Anyway, BIG Thanks MB, Merry Christmas all.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, gents. Enjoy yourselves.
Merry Christmas all. A big thanks to the MB team for their hard work over the course of the year, and I look forward to getting back into it during the Great Crash of 2018!
I’m jittery with withdrawal already. Oh well let’s hope the old law of taking a break causes the pot to boil.
Merry Christmas to all, I hope Santa brings you a house price crash apocalypse. Well that’s what I’m wishing for anyway.
Thanks to all the MB crew,, and to all the commenters for another year of interesting reading. Don’t work to hard, enjoy some time off with friends and family.
Lmmao….
Collapsenicks want a market crash to spread cheer and festive good tidings….. there is hope in the air…
Some say poverty is a mental disorder… I might have to consider libertarianism as a disorder… quasi religious self fulfilling sort…
disheveled… working save xmass, boxing, and new years…..
On the other hand…
Sunscreen for everyone….

Just got back from work, drunk and ready to beat harldus as first.
We all have our cross to bear.
Sad but true.

Bugger me. I would have sworn on a stack of bibles that He was a Man United supporter.
This ones for you Haroldus, thanks for the many laughs along the way
Merry New year

and to MB and all who sail with them.
That is exactly how I dance.
Like the chick I mean.
Did you catch the latest Star Wars film?
Yeah sadly, last night. Hated it, DrSmithy will love it though, full of SJW goodness..
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/liberal-identity-politics-has-ruined-star-wars-fanboys/
The new Star Wars movie sucked. Had Disney’s prints all over it.
@UE Classic Disney schmaltz? I would expect to see references to various Disney characters in the next releases… You know, one of the storm troopers has a “Minie Mouse rocks my world” sticker on his butt cheek protector, or “I 💘 Elsa!”
As Dr Seuss aptly put it:
Screw this, screw that,
Screw you, and screw your hat!
So long suckers! See you all in the new year! Here’s to a better year, full of government failure, house market colapse and a full blown depression.
Ino said this
And Ino said that.
All year long he talked and talked
And wore out his hat.
S/he posted this and posted that
And made poor Dr Seuss lose track of his cat.
Twas with measurable pleasure Ino’s posts were read.
Most often at breakfast with coffee and toast bread.
With Christmas drawing nigh
And posts growing longer
The Cat in the Hat wondered
Would they also get wronger?
But with a big sigh
The Cat pushed reply
And sent a post of yule cheer
To the member whose first name should be Brian
For those with a musical or Pythonic ear.
Merry Christmas, my dear!
lol you guys
(looks down the pants) Yup, shuttle’s in the hangar… definitely a “he” here… None of that gender fluidity guff, chum! 😀
Shuttlecock
Have to say it’s never once crossed my (female) mind that Ino is female.
A segment on Big Australia which just aired on Paul Murray Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JBpiSzDx3U
Interesting that even hardcore Conservatives like Michael Kroger getting pissed off with the effects on wages. Georgina Downer also quite impressive with her response. Meanwhile the fake left busy giving the bird to anyone opposing Big Australia.
I will repost on weekend links.
Good video that 1.
To all those Pastafarians out there, happy 1st Day of Noodlemas.
And thanks to the MB team for another year.
ps. Here’s a video about the drunken pagan history of Christmas.

I wish Saturnalia would make a comback.
Reminds me, I was watching the Santa parade with the Mrs and wishing, well, I was somewhere else to be honest, and at that exact moment the Three Wise Men went past. Usual jokes ran through my head. Then I wondered, what would they all have in common? Well​ they were all cashed up merchants from over the border, so 457s?
Cheered me up no end that did. Would definitely be a skills shortage category in Australia too.
Thank you for acknowledging my religion. Remember he boiled for our sins!
Greatest enemy of the pastafarianism is Riceism 😀
Pastafarianism isn’t a rice though, it’s clearly pasta.
Merry Christmas to the MB crew and all the readers and commenters.
Merry Xmas MB and all the readers subscribers. Les see what 2018 has in stall for us.
Seasons greetings. Happy and not too interesting 2018.
And lots of thanks to MB team.
Happy break to all, if you are getting one. The kids seem more excited by the prospect of swimming on pudding day afternoon than gifts. The forecast in the west is 32 degrees.
