Have lasted well and been well used over the years.
I got 2 years ago from The Warehouse.
Russia, China and USA dividing up the world between them? This seems really really bad β¦. if a country has a βbadβ leader thatβs not reason to invade and kidnap and take over - surely. Without following any process, just cos βyou want tooβ. Feels really worrisome.
Moved from Auckland and into a cheaper / smaller house. And I love it. Close to my parents and food from their vege garden too. Downsizing my life has been great. And I realise how privileged I am that I could too.
I reduced my hours and job responsibilities to enjoy more life balance and slow living β¦ I therefore spend a lot less on βdiscretionaryβ stuff and a lot less on capitalist crap.
I am pretty keen on all things Degrowth, simple living and no doubt itβs all βbadβ for GDP.
Pretty great for my health.
Not having to take glasses off sounds delightful. In theory.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Anyone else βgigglingβ at the I OWN my family home (in a Trust) outcries β¦. um, YOU donβt own it, the Trust does β¦ YOU chose not to own it and have it in a Trust (or company). I donβt know the details of the CGT, just having a wee grin at some of the rhetoric.

Love to you at this time.
Closing lines from a Celtic prayer I like titled βwalking with griefβ
βBe gentle with the one who walks in grief. If it is you, be gentle with yourself. β¦. Take time, be gentle as you walk with griefβ.

will continue to think of you, gaze at your art, and send love.
My personal view: capital gains tax should be paid when property NOT the family home passes to the estate or inheritors. Person βsoldβ it effectively on day of death. On the family home, NO CGT until after it is βsoldβ to estate on day of death, but yes to CGT from that day.
β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
If property passes to an estate, itβs tax free at that point. If the estate sells it later and makes a capital gain, that period is taxed only - from date of transfer to the estate.
What I want to say when I hear people whinging about Labourβs CGT β¦β¦
βoh just fuck offβ
tiny violins for people needing to pay some tax on income earned when selling property (excludes family homes and inheritances, so βpiss offβ is my desired response to complaints.
Thatβs a very narrow CGT isnβt it, Labour?

#BHN David Seymour this morning commenting on someone who used to be associated with the Te Pati Maori that his actions showβ¦
βthe true soul of Te Pati Maoriβ
So, if those are HIS standards, the true soul of ACT can be seen in child sexual criminal, Tim Jago
Fair?
it is such an embarrassment (imo) that he is a NZ citizen (in such a dodgy way too)

Economic question
Interest rate cuts β¦. how many wonβt be affected at all as they donβt have a mortgage? Wonβt have more money to spend cos of the cuts to interest rates?
How many people will have less money to spend as they have investments, not debt?

Any New Zealander who doesnβt see a problem with this requires a in-depth cultural literacy education. PΔkehΔ domination is not acceptable anymore. The voices of diversity in this country are no longer something PΔkehΔ systems can suppress. To see the face of PΔkehΔ domination in 2025 is chilling.

Chloe in Gary Economics was a real treat this morning when I logged into YouTube
