Every cost cutting decision related to transport, health, energy and education that this government has made is going to cost everyone so much more than their supposed savings.
This post was a total Ben trap.
For spending 20% of all infrastructure spend on one highway North? Not doing that and spending it on upgrading and electrifying the rail network, extending it, sorting out ports in the North and South Island, linking airports to cities with electrified transit, investing in long term renewables.
Ah the advisor to Ladapo, Cass and every other ghoul out there. I hope she falls in a snowbank and isn't found for months.
Essentially the right wing in this country are entirely convinced that the priced in realities and consequences of decades of them getting their own way will either not happen, or won't happen until after they've made bank and gotten the hell out of dodge.
Just envision that a Government came to power and cancelled a whole raft of essential programmes which would reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels, only for there to be a once in a century oil crisis.
Hey imagine if New Zealand had a gap between the retirement of its Rail Enabled ferry and the two replacements of about six months, instead of at least three years - putting more trucks on the road? God what a concept.
Fuck imagine if there'd been a few hundred milly out there for local govt to improve pedestrian and cyclist routes and access in urban and provincial new zealand but it got taken back by this govt to pay for landlord tax cuts.
Shit imagine if there'd been a public transport first approach to the capital which the new political leadership has stuck on hold for review because the right wing want to drive utes down courtenay place.
I've got energy security. I've got twelve nine volt batteries in a jar.
Hey folks, you know the Roads of National Significance are ruinously expensive, with extremely poor business cases? That was before oil prices started rising. Factor in fuel costs and these projects just became even more ridiculous.
Everyone's about to become a woke, business murdering, green, social communist because a fuckload of New Zealanders will be walking, cycling, car sharing or similar. $3+ next week? Time to walk to work.
Caleb Tangitau is a young man enjoying his rugby.
1999 saw Fight Club and The Matrix be released, two extremely wonderful and brilliant works of art which have sadly become touchstones for the sort of people who should be hit in the head with a snow shovel, and think like that's happened once an hour every hour since they were born.
A data center that is in a straight line will make it exceptionally easy to carpet bomb when the Butlerian Jihad gets going.
Hard agree. If you take up a position that the art has failed because the stupidest chuds don't understand it then you're making art for the stupidest chuds, and that's what A.I is for.
I WANT TO SOUNDS SMART AND INSPIRATIONAL
Squirrely Dan-ass syntax.
A pack of vultures at the feast. Beaks bloody! Knives out!
Go get em tiger.
The Prime Minister says he has the full support of his team but sources have told The Post the phones are running hot.
Oh but they killed him. Yeah, he doesn't have to live in this world what a sucker. Compare the U.S pre-9/11 to everything that's happened since and tell me OBL didn't get what he wanted, a U.S that is catastrophically locked into decline led by 25 years of Trying To Get Control after it happened.
We have to accept that Osama bin Laden won.
When the first US troop dies on Iranian soil, they'll have the Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan trio of interventions which don't work and kill their own folks.
Cannot for the life of me work out how she didn't win - oh wait hold on I watched the video I get it now.
They've drawn a line under it.
Starting an obscure NZ club night called Millennial Falcon where I hit you in the face with every forgotten track of the late 90s and early 2000's.

Jack Lemmon knew this about Welles and stopped him in his tracks once:
I mean, damn, it's a bar.
