The sooner you blame the kids and your wife, the sooner you’ll find it in the obvious place.

These champagne flutes of room temperature milk make Beavis and Butthead look like Marie and Pierre Curie

Left wing coalitions are complicit, right wing coalitions are complicit. The only thing that would appease the eftpostle is 100% pure theocracy. Shame he only rates < 1% on election day. Fucking loser. If only he wasn’t damaging thousands of hapless souls (sadly including some of my relatives)

'The invisible unemployed': Too much for a benefit, not enough to make ends meet While the rising number of beneficiaries is plain to see, there is another layer of people struggling.

But for some very good luck this could easily be me. How many are there?

There’s a fantastic line graph plotting the course of inflation for several nations including NZ that paints a pretty good picture of whether it was a global phenomenon, or localised excessive consumption as the Reserve Bank reckoned. Dear reader, they were wrong.

When you're paying $3 a litre for petrol... Remember Luxon's govt crashed the EV market, slashed public transport & cycleway spending & cut fees for importing gas guzzlers by 80% - turning NZ into a dumping ground for the worlds dirtiest most oil hungry vehicles.

That was for the men’s team I think? There’s another post welcoming the women’s team with open er… arms.

And Auckland Airport Limited is a money printing machine. It’s staggeringly crap.

You have to walk to the very farthest part of their pickup lane to catch their own bus to their own car parking facility. Like you’re being punished for spending money with them.

This.

Also businesses don’t want higher wages and high unemployment helps them achieve that.

It's all very simple, the government
*WANT high unemployment
*DO NOT WANT people on the benefit
*WANT people out of public housing
*DO NOT WANT homeless people
*WANT low wages
*DO NOT WANT people moving to Australia.
It's so straightforward, dunno why anyone has trouble complying

"Biased and unimaginative" are probably the kindest things anyone could say. I was thinking "often completely incorrect" and "thoroughly unpleasant."

Plenty of those so called "competent managers" have walked it back.
Almost as if they were ok with it when faced with no choice. When they have the choice their micromanagement tendencies win.

Just one of the many many GREAT reasons remote working should be bloody embraced.

Answers the question I have: “how do households with Auckland-sized mortgages survive on less than $200k”?

With food insecurity.

Loving them receipts!

That's coming up more and more often — lack of profitability/viability of industries because of "red tape," compliance costs, regulation.
Seen it from dairy farmers, landlords, now food manufacturing.

Such a load of bullshit.

It’s hilarious to me that after numerous media gaffes and several days of intense scrutiny, rumours of a spull, many articles criticising specific incompetence, the entire National Caucus has just shrugged and said “we’re all good thanks he’s our guy.”

How much more damning can you get 😂

Terrifying, as evident by their crowing about the previous response and doing precisely zero about the next one. It’s all performative, they couldn’t care less.

And that “Jacinda talks to us like we’re toddlers” because it was broken down, simplified, crystal clear and highly understandable.

They’re trying to have their cake and eat it too.

The communication was an internationally recognised master class. What an absolute load of shit and waste of taxpayers dollars just because their lie-infested ideology disagreed with the first report.

The number of these c**ts who have come into power, done incredible amounts of structural damage, and bugger off again with zero comeuppance. Enraging.

Accurate

Labour campaign slogans really just writing themselves eh?
“We won’t cut anymore hospital jobs”

That timeless existential question: to embrace your inner sadist to see whether it’s a giggle; or not.

💯

Those other politicians should not make our politics so political!

Seriously. I set mine up 2 weeks ago. Life changing.

Rhymes with Flax Tree?
