Damn right. She's a born Marxist and I say that to her face although she does like the odd bauble.shes not going to be happy!
you could try and boil it down to neoliberalism.
it’s for the rich by the rich.

something like that anyway, apparently.
maybe add in atlas if you get stuck.
The bruises will heal eventually if I can get through ED in a couple of days. She reckons with her background and if we'd stuck with Te Aka Whai Ora, I would have been seen and processed before she gave me the slap.

RNZ’s radio audience continues to decline sharply – where it was once the market leader, it now sits eighth behind Newstalk ZB and six music stations.
You can clearly see people in 2021 switch away from the left RNZ to the right ZB foreshadowing the change in govt. the gap between left and right is growing indicating 3 more years for the coalition?

can you even say she is a woman? It is actually impossible to come to that conclusion:
- First she’d have to self-identify. But in order to do so, she’d need a definition to reference her identity against
- The modern definition of "a woman" is a person that self-identifies as a woman
- But that’s a circular definition. As a result, it is an impossibility for her identify as a woman, which means she is not a woman
- By process of elimination, if she can't be a woman, she can only be a man
(not that there's anything wrong with that. It's actually quite a modern arrangement)

For those of you who think that the government should just tax more and borrow more (as per the Greens alternative budget), consider where NZ is placed on this chart from the IMF which doesn't look a borrowing as a percentage of GDP (as most who say the NZ government should just borrow more), but looks at where NZ is when the cost of borrowing is looked at in relation to government revenue.
Sorry, but just borrowing more isn't the answer.... why? Because the interest payable on that borrowing is holding back growth, infrastructure, health, education, poverty outcomes, social services. Every dollar spent on interest is a dollar less that could be spent on these. Chlöe's answer.... tax more to pay for the interest on the additional borrowing.

Hey, none of this in depth rational analysis. Be kind and try concentrating more on emotive stuff(I'm replying to Wiz's post which was originally in the Donald Trump thread).

These parody billboards attacked the Greens – why they've fallen foul of advertising rules
Sensible Sentencing Trust ads were misleading but ASA rejects harm and offence complaints.
See there's more calls for compulsory testing for meth in rental properties.... but those wanting it don't think the landlords should put up the rent to cover it.
Really?
I wonder how many landlords produce/use meth in the rental properties. Sorry, but it's the renters who do because no landlord wants to go through the expense of decontaminating their rental properties.
It always amazes me that people don't think that costs incurred by landlords will eventually be recovered from the tenants by rental increases.... the increases might not be today, they might not be tomorrow but eventually, when the landlord thinks the tenants can afford it, the cost will be recovered through rental increases.

Govt committed to 2028 child poverty target despite forecast - Willis
The Finance Minister said the Government remained committed to meeting targets, but said "it depends on how we go over the next few years".
For all the criticisms of the previous government not hitting targets they set out to, many aren’t being achieved by this one either and look like there’s no way they can in some areas like already saying there’s no possible way they will be recruiting 500 police as was said. It makes it look ridiculous the borrowing they did to pay out the meaningless for most tax cuts when they came into power and drove up that dept further
"P" testing was the biggest load of horseshit. Funnily enough, driven by the companies that stood to profit.
