🤖 AI Summary

📝 Summary:

The thread centers on New Zealand's upcoming election, primarily debating the economic management and policy differences between the center-left Labour government and center-right National/ACT opposition. Key criticisms target Labour's fiscal stewardship, citing ballooning government expenditure #7#272, housing unaffordability, and unfulfilled promises like KiwiBuild and dental care expansion #16#12. A user #7 highlighted Labour's annual 9% spending growth versus 1.5% under previous governments, arguing this fueled inflation. National's tax-cut policy faced scrutiny over funding gaps and legality, with user #215 questioning Luxon's reliance on "trust me" assurances.

More poor economic management from this government

Did you actually read the article and do you understand that the Reserve Bank, the ones the business community want to provide more stimulus to the economy, is independent from the government? The government may only provide mandates for what the RB can do…. it’s illegal for the government to tell the RB what policies it should do.

You also realise that the stimulus that the article says should be provided is via more and larger interest rate drops….. which ultimately provided more money to landlords.

By supporting that article wanting to overcome what you called “poor economic management” by having the RB provide an economic stimulus by providing reducing interest rates, you actually advocating more money for the rich…… the very thing you’ve been fighting against through this thread.

Wonder if Atlas Network and Putin's mafia are rivals or enemies or accomplices in their crimes?
I worry with the rise of AI pictures/ videos, what can we really believe anymore?

I mean the porns pretty first class now …

Come to think of it, why bother about manipulating us politically when they could just turn us into mindless zombies with porn and drugs…
