@JohnMax05825444 @David_Cormack He's not an idiot though, or at least his campaign isn't stupid. This discourse creates/ solidifies support for Trump.

It's terrible, but cynically, it's good for their campaign. As long as he gets away with it (which he does), it's a winning way to engage voters

@speltbeans @VelasWhale @LoxDixon @okanepeter No. The landlord dictates it.
They decide, based on a number of variables, what they'll charge.
What they can charge at the top end is dictated by supply & demand, but they can choose whatever amount below that that they like.
They're not helpless - a rental price is a decision

@VelasWhale @speltbeans @LoxDixon @okanepeter What the fuck has vaccination got to do with the rental market?

A rental property is an investment in the property. The payoff isn't meant to be at the weekly expense of the tenant
The profit is meant to come when the property is sold and the investment profit realised

@Tauranga2020 @jasontweats @byroncclark I doubt they'd ever get anywhere near taking women's votes, especially here where there's pride in being the first country to allow them.

However, the divisiveness that comes from this crap can be hazardous for social cohesion, and it empowers loads of people to be shit heads

@JudePensees @MaxRashbrooke That's only fair if there is good public transport and good cycle lanes.
For example, there's no public transport from Woodville to Palmerston North. Many people commute daily. The new road will have a toll. Add increased rego costs & the proposed new road user charges
It adds up

[it's still not over folks (Team Cuthbert) @DaimDozen]

@Pfisher92 @MaxRashbrooke Do rubbish collectors make a contribution to society?
How about retires?
How about people who can't find jobs but volunteer for charities? Low paying community workers? Museum staff?
Factory/freezing work staff?

It's bullshit to imply that only people oh high salaries contribute

[it's still not over folks (Team Cuthbert) @DaimDozen]

@A_lost_Kiwi @MaxRashbrooke Given rego costs are going up & they're introducing road user charges for all vehicles it's gonna get totally unaffordable for some people to drive. Yet alternative transport is not getting improved, it's a mess

[it's still not over folks (Team Cuthbert) @DaimDozen]

@JG_moves_NZ @kiwi_bill @mixedusezoning @MaxRashbrooke Problems arise when the alternative route is still used by many drivers who are dodging the Tolls, and that road has to be maintained by local councils
Those roads are usually in poorer condition and costs to maintain them are high
See the new road in Manawatū for example

@xkf89610177 @emnode @Butters09016449 @RyanGirdusky There would need to be a law change for them to be drafted

If the law was changed there's no evidence that women would not be included in that draft especially because women are now (generally) more accepted in the military (if you don't include the sexual crimes)

@speltbeans @LoxDixon @okanepeter Many landlords put up rents due to increased costs of owning a rental property - interest rates, council rates, renovations etc often lead to increase rents

Yes, they can do this due to supply and demand, but it's still a choice they make. It's not outside their control

[it's still not over folks (Team Cuthbert) @DaimDozen]

@calico_gf @GetCaughtLiving Yeah, I'm unemployed due to health reasons The "what do you do?" question sucks

So demoralising
I don't do much due to my health conditions but I don't look unhealthy most of the time, so I just come across as a lazy leach on society

But it's hard to think of other questions

[it's still not over folks (Team Cuthbert) @DaimDozen]

@KyleDChurch I don't totally disagree with you, but Fidel Castro did used to give long speeches, which is the point. Not that they have similar political positions.
It's not a good example to use, but it's a valid one.

@LeaCowley @KyleDChurch Issues with FEMA are not down to the president, but to republicans not supporting the funding
The system is fucked. If the party of the president doesn't also have control of the house they are always limited in what they can do
Neither option is great but project 2025 is scary

@scaredforNZ @Tiare_MP That could also just be a result of more and more people using online shopping everywhere because of the ease, and behaviours like this increasing due to shopping under covid
Personally I don't online shop because of parking, there's plenty of parking where I live, it's just easy

@oldenoughtosay NZ - on the left is a spatula, on the right is a fish slice. In saying that many people call both a spatula.

The English language is a mess

@_Jase_The_Ace_ @ClintVSmith It's valid to track from that point because the current govt made a promise of 500 new cops - this is tracking their progress on that promise.

That's not a partisan view, it's looking at promises of govt, which everyone should critic, regardless of who is in power.

@magpiesaid @JimmyJoeRogres @byroncclark The acts of Hamas in October last year can be recognised as horrific & the actions of Zionists that followed can be seen as genocide - both things can be true

To be against Zionism is not being antisemitic, as many Jewish people have proven. Learn the difference, it's important
