Why the f$&# is TVNZ publishing the stupid crap of an insane podcaster (Candace Owens vs Emmanuel Macron). What a waste of air time. No report on teachers strikes or the failing health system or the tanking economy

Nicola Willis refuses to meet with Christian leaders today, calling them "intimidating". And in Parliament, Luxon refused to say whether NZ would join Aus, Can & UK on Gaza state position, instead deflecting with "Hamas". Over 200,000 Gazans have been killed, largely civilians

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this:

Star Trek never could have been made in New Zealand, because it feels like as soon as the opening shot comes up and you hear, in a thick New Zealand accent: "space, the final frontier..." Everyone would have assumed the rest of it was a comedy.

The economy must be going super good when the Reserve Bank Governor and Chair resign within six months of each other, having both conflicted with the Finance Minister over the role of the Reserve Bank and how it is funded to be independent. That's a sign of the recovery being around the corner.

can't stress how important it is that you maintain at least one really wild insane left wing political stance to keep the hitlers off balance and the issues in perspective ie. feed landlords to snakes. trees get their own parliament. put solar panels on jeffrey bezos. send all mormons to the moon.

The absolute audacity of this woman blaming “local leadership” and cycleways for the flailing economy after firing our public servants. You’re the Minister of Finance AND Economic Growth. Take a hard look at yourself, your lack of plan and your missing boats before coming at us.

If you understand Labour, Reform and the Tories as competing factions in a political class fighting to secure the specific section of the electorate that broadly favours the Thatcherite Consensus in its harshest, ugliest forms, united against liberalism and socialism, then you will not go far wrong.
