So people aren't using power in the night because they're at work all day right. Because they need to work all week to pay for the electricity and what not right.
Man we are all just slaves aren't we.

Move out of the cities into small towns - cheap living, cheaper houses, no rat race, lots of space and can usually survive on a single income if you are efficient.
Can’t see the benefits of the big cities and big costs really for raising a family, except For less choice in fast food options.
Usually it's job availability, perceived upwards mobility instead of living within one's means, but advertising and capitalism sell you those ideas right?
Yeah, we're on an authoritarian trajectory sadly
Planning the acerage move currently.

Fascinating shift from National - playing for the big picture:
‘New Zealand now faces a world where “stronger nations do as they please, smaller countries have to adjust” and “territorial conquest is not a relic of history”.
Where state competition is no longer about better goods and services but “cyber-attacks, disinformation, supply chain coercion, and grey-zone operations” and where “energy independence must be treated as an immediate national security interest”.
Luxon led with national security, alluding to the United States abdicating its post-1945 leadership role, Russia seeking to restore its Cold War empire, and China aggressively asserting economic and military power regionally and globally.
“This is the world New Zealand must now navigate,” this new realist Luxon declared. “Not with fear, but with clear eyes and a willingness to make different choices than in the past.”
Strong wording and trying to move the election to addressing global big picture issues which should favours National much more than Labour who strength is focuses on the individual.
National cutting free university and extending pensions to prioritise doubling defence snookers Labour who will seem out of touch focusing on pet projects…
Fascinating big picture play from National and it will be interesting how it plays out.

Matthew Hooton: Luxon delivers home truths in first-class speech
OPINION: It was perhaps the most substantive prime ministerial statement for 20 years.

This statement sums up what a load of tripe that is. This government is too gutless to even question anything going on in America like it’s all just normal transmission. Any world leader too weak to address what’s going on there isn’t worth a puddle of piss
A nice coercive push to spend less on you ( the people ) and more on their mates in the arms industries.Fascinating shift from National - playing for the big picture:
