[Tragic]

If you distribute the wealth and more people can afford something, then the price of that thing goes up and only the wealthy can afford it again. The only way to make it more accessible is make more of it. So comes back top productivity. Robots and AI.
But then the robots become restless and its all over.

An outcome of using students with no real world experience or pragmatism to come up with your policies.

Actually that's your mob frank, the far right. If only you right wingers could remove your blinkers and see what's really being perpetrated.

Won't happen I know. You lot are hysterical

Chloe has trouble at times understanding that real world implications effect the Greens policies. I was at an urban planning seminar where she was on a panel recently where she was pushing for more long term rental accommodation over private landlords. She brought up the numbers that Craig Renney from the CTU had released that the removal of the interest deductibility would cost the government $3 billion over four years. When she was asked if the changes in interest rates would increase or decrease the cost to the government.... she said it would increase the cost.

Sorry, but a drop interest rates means a landlord claims less in terms of the deductibilty i.e. if the entire amount of mortgages on rental properties was $36.6 billion, 7.5% interest rates would mean the government would not be allowing landlords to claim $915 million PA (at the 33% tax bracket). But, the average six month mortgage is now 5% meaning the government is now allowing landlords to only claim $605 million PA.

In other words.... the lower the interest rate.... the less landlords can claim back.... the lower the cost to the government.

She’s actually clearly quite stupid

Challenge accepted

Storming the palace with a brave band of fighters
Seizing the means of production, and arresting gaslighters
Cruel Neoliberals tied up with string
These are a few of my faaavourite thiiings

I wonder how much of what these opposition MP's time is just getting out there and winning votes. Doesn't matter how harebrained their policies are, they are just getting out to convince people to vote for them, no matter what

The fact that their policies are completely unworkable isn't really the point. The point is just to win a vote at a time.

Being able to have a policy that actually works is a luxury that only the governing party has to worry about

Happens every election cycle. Many thought 500 police recruits was going to be a big ask. Turns out it was with that now unachievable

Not really. What's your qualifications?

I couldn’t watch beyond her inability to offer any detail on capital flight risk, dumber for having got that far. She has always come across to me as having the intelligence of around a mid-level secondary school student. Embarrassing.

 

[MaybeTop8]

Can you explain why you aren’t implying NZ voters aren’t far right despite the fact the majority continue to support a coalition that you strongly believe to be far right? Please no more serenading unless it’s classic 70-80s rock

You're asking me to explain why you've interpreted my post a particular way and as a result of that interpretation you're telling me what I've written and you want me to explain your interpretation?

Meta.

This kind of 70s/80s?

You guys eh? You're all so smart, it's heart warming.

She couldn’t answer anything the moment it went off her practiced script. Of course you will defend her however she’s a slow bowler who just happens to have a reasonable profile with idiots.
