Is a solution to ask Chat GPT for better ideas.... Although to be far...as generalisations go .. they seem better than what is on offer by this govt...

Ok. I guess we got to it first? Draft Project 2025.... Can we call this government the mini tangerine, maybe the Clementines?

Am I imagining it or is the USA economic policy similar to our government at the moment? Tax cuts, axing govt workers, tax relief to those with assets, cancelling contracts, role back of perceived diverse policies and putting us in a recession. If so, then who just got richer ..

As an ex librarian now engineer I agree. 4 years study for librarian. Diploma for Civil engineer job. I changed coz there are no library jobs. BTBH perceived benefit, the reason I make more money now. I affect people's profit. Profit (not economics) before welfare is NZ politics.

So I am an ex librarian (applied science degree and post grad cert) Now a Civil engineer (diploma). I make more as an engineer. There are aspects of the work that are very similar yes. The only difference I found is liability, experience and expected behaviour within the industry.

Hmm.. Of the 70+% turnout in actuality only 6% of the pop voted for ACT. Of which a portion support the Bill. And media conflated things. Maybe our response should be that the govt is redundant and media needs better stories. Maori party should focus on Lux needed Maori support for economic growth.

Actually what would have been easier is if they did an online search for "public trust in NZ police" While results of 69% are good, it is not overwhelming.

Question. What is this going to do to Treasury Bonds? Is America a good bet from an investment point of view? Especially considering the amount of debt there currently is held by Japan and China.

Hmm... I miss my Nokia N97... Threw it down concrete steps in front of an apple rep. No cracked screen, started up fine. Software stopped ads and push notifications.... Ahh the good old days.

Document is the AEE from the applicant, not the full decision. As stated in the article Contact energy undertook extensive assessments, however the Panel were not convinced due ecological concerns ... Meaning "experts" on both sides were in the room and Contact Energy didn't make the case.

As a casual user I spend time arguing with ChatGPT to pass the time. Especially as there is no nuance and it favours a sanitised American point of view. AI are all biased and I find this mirrors us perfectly. Finally, arguing with ChatGPT is less likely to end up with some hurt feelings.

I watched his latest episode and the call for us to own the idea "Tax wealth not work!". If only TOP was this clear on messaging.
