Pretty much eh? "The policy's benefits flow primarily to existing property owners. While perhaps justified by broader housing benefits, it's worth acknowledging this is a form of wealth transfer." As many of my school reports said, "can do better"

Honestly, on top of the political problem, if there are adults left in the White House -- BIG IF -- Elon's meltdown really does pose very complex NatSec issues.

Historians and political scientists spend decades trying to determine the influence of money in politics and Musk just tweets out "I bought the election"

Musk and Trump are a great example of why men are too emotional to lead.

Pō mārie, e te whānau. Our MPs are heading home tonight. Their suspensions may silence them in the House, but not in the movement. Aroha nui to the kaimahi who stand behind them every step, & to every supporter who amplifies their voice outside the chamber. We are unapologetically whānau. #NZPol

Dead right message, unfortunately, the wrong measures. The purpose of the privatisation was never about more efficient delivery of public goods, it was always about looting those public goods for private profit, and in that I suspect it has been pretty successful Such that doing more will "work"

This isn't a normal Musk meltdown. He doesn't give a shit about deficits or anything else that doesn't affect him. This is part ego, but I also think the enormous pressure of Tesla sales imploding combined with the coming robotaxi clown show is pushing him over the edge.

I'm sure the police will run cover for PM or nameless staffers will be blamed... Lots of 'in hindsights' ... #nzpol It's not like Forbes was accused of shoplifting..

So I'm guessing NZ's RW has lost their collective shit over the PM's office employing an ACTUAL sexual predator just like they did when they misunderstood some instagram posts & tattoos on a Green MP labelling them all manner of hideous things. They are being critical of Michael Forbes right?

What are the odds Upston knew he was under investigation but "it was only some hookers so who cares?" And somewhere, someone has a memo that they did tell Luxon But he has no interest in anything that doesn't enrich him of boost his ego so he "was not informed" And NOW they are scrambling for cover

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it will revoke a federal policy that required hospitals to provide emergency abortions when necessary to stabilize a woman’s medical condition. We will be allowed to die.

I wish it WAS devastating, for their adherents it's meaningless, 50% of them couldn't find "reciprocity" in Webster's & 50% of the rest couldn't understand its meaning As well as rule by dementia and brain fart, the ONLY thing that matters to them, is how much bigger their dick is than anyone else's

Is the DPM Alright? Seymour says our legislation is hugely problematic World Bank says we are 99/100 & the only "evidence" he offers is dogs can't be in hairdressers' The RSB breaches it's own standards The Pay Equity fiasco also breached but "it didn't matter" "99.5% of RSB submissions were bots"

Yes! Oooh, yeeesss!!! OH MY GOOOOOOODDDD YEEEESSS!!!! I have ZERO problems with consenting kinks, but that's the POINT of everything they do, your, and my, consent doesn't matter and that we don't consent, and they do it anyway is SUCH a turn on for them Sitting in Luxon's lap, under his nose, 🤮

I did see yesterday that last week, 7 of us died with covid, flashed through my feed and is long gone, but it ain't over

If 99.5% of the submissions were indeed done by bots, the media should question Seymour to confirm this with GCSB, as it would indicate a significant cyberattack on the nation.
