@labourcartel @basilbiker I don't think that's correct. IRD website claims supply of cross-border remote services to NZ residents is subject to GST, and invoices for Google services in NZ definitely contain GST.

@MusicalChairs14 Does the ECT data include online sales?

removing types from your own code is clownish, epically misguided behaviour, but whatever — to each their own. removing types from a library THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO USE, however, is just user-hostile dickwaddery

@marcdaalder Important to remember that a lot of the CO2 reductions in west over last 20yrs have come from offshoring manufacturing to China etc. So emissions from the new TV or car you buy are assigned to China despite the goods being consumed in NZ, US, EU etc. It's a false picture really

@bobthegreatist @ClintVSmith @_seashelleyes_ @TaxpayersUnion Key line from the article that you probably didn't read: “We have fairly decent evidence that masks can protect the wearer,” Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University, told The Atlantic. “Where I think it sort of falls apart is relating that to the population level.”

@slyall Don't forget the investor in your example would also be paying tax on the rent income, despite the operational loss from the interest expense. So in reality the effective rent is 30-39% less (depending on their marginal tax rate), making the loss even bigger.

@ClintVSmith If the current rhetoric doesn't get National a win, isn't it more likely they will lean in further? Adopting the Trumpian populist positions we've seen the right embrace in US, UK etc to fire up their base, pull votes back off Act and win over the conspiracy theory crowd

@JeneeTibshraeny @Econgrad5143 The LSAP did turn some govt debt into settlement cash with interest at the OCR, but for the first 2 years that meant a beneficial reduction in cost of govt borrowing. The real cost of LSAP will depend on what interest rates do between now and 2026

@JeneeTibshraeny @Econgrad5143 Different issue surely? The indemnity, which accounts for unrealised reduction in market value of bonds, is just a transfer from one hand of the Crown to another.

[SG @EgorNZ]

@JeneeTibshraeny @Econgrad5143 You seem to be implying that taxpayers are funding the RBNZ's interest payments on reserves. Do you have a citation for this claim?

@ajthompson13 This outdated meme goes up to 2021, when a prior year of drought had affected hydro production. Since then, coal consumption for electricity has dropped 61.9%

[SG @EgorNZ]

@SimeonBrownMP Convenient that you chose to show data only to 2021 in your meme, rather than the current figures which tell a different story

@trupunzel @paulbrislen No. You took the net total of new houses and subtracted from it things that had already been subtracted from it.

[SG @EgorNZ]

@trupunzel @paulbrislen Why are you subtracting those things from the total? I don't think you've read the table correctly
