Remarkable watching Govt inch slowly towards understanding magnitude of the fuel situation, so obviously blinded by optimism bias & ideological aversion to intervention... constantly a week or so behind those that have, errm, read the briefings. Some sense of what 2020 would have looked like I guess

The IOC can say this ban does not impact grassroots sports but so much grassroots, masters and amateur sports take cues from IOC policy. The U.S. and Britain have already banned trans women from grassroots sports. Granted political leaders drove that but the IOC didnโt push back. It stood by.

I cannot believe that a) this stuff isn't constantly leading mainstream and business news reports; and b) that he's able to be the CEO of a huge publicly traded company, and his privately owned space/AI/social media company has multiple government contracts.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

she's literally funneling the cash from all her various media ventures into a money gun and pointing it directly at whichever institution promises to hurt trans people the most. she's not even lying about it. she's just telling you that's what she's going to do if you give her more money

Important ๐งต about the reality of who receives benefits and what their lives are like. The cost of living spike is going to cause huge hardship to people already struggling. Yet Nicola Willis casually and callously discounted all these people today.

Nicola Willis has some gall saying she makes no apologies for helping working people only when her government has actively destroyed the labour market. She should hang her head in shame. Thereโs hardly any fucking jobs in this country and most of the jobs pay shit.

It's always nice to have a reminder that as a diabled person, you should just stay inside, out of sight. You have no need to be out of the house. Your existence does not create profit for the rich, so you don't matter.

There are approximately 2.02M h/holds in NZ - just under 7% of NZ h/holds will receive an in work tax credit of $50/week to assist with rising fuel costs. Not our most impoverished h/holds tho, not h/holds without children, and not most two-income h/holds.

About 140,000 families to get $50 a week to help with high fuel prices
The boost is expected to cost about $373 million and last no more than a year.

Meridian Energy made $227 million in profit last year. Genesis, who majority own Chargenet, made $337 million in profit last year. The government are giving money to millionaires, I thought that was bad? Govt should be creating customers for Meridian and Chargenet, to encourage investment.

The equivalent of this $50 million in clean car discounts for a used EV would put 14,255 electric vehicles on the road, or 7,127 brand new EVs. So imagine the entire of Oamaru all in used electric cars, or the whole of Warkworth in brand new EVs.

That's right folks, the economy is sliding sideways because people are 'reluctant to spend'. This is such an infuriating narrative - Liam needs to replace 'reluctant' with 'unable'... how many households have gone from two earners to one? How many have seen costs rise by more than earnings?

My husband has been told they need to return to 5 days in the office, unless you claim an exception, and even then you can only get 1-2 WFH. Never mind us planning out our entire childcare arrangements and me taking a job with a commute again because we knew he had his WFH days.
