@ShadowofEzra Problem won't be with robots replacing humans and humans are on universal income. Major problem will be humans losing purpose in life and that's will be disaster. We already know most retirees with no hobby, purpose die early than those who do.

@Brookstarr48 @mauriceraiti Not just them, it will be almost everyone except trades. But it's years away to have cost effective robots until then it's business as usual.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@sunshinehaze1 @mauriceraiti Lot to do with hiring cycles. Current cost cutting measures are cause of this.

@WallStreetApes My rule is simple for such trades, handover money and check all you want. Doesn't work for you? Return item and take your money, ensures no one does a runner.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@Liquid_Times Spoken like a true labour party office staffer, knowing well that no one from any party would get any deal when far bigger, far more significant countries are have much worse treatment

@GPhilip52086 Only businesses doing well with growth YOY now are councils.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@Liquid_Times Ok, answer me on just one thing. If English is not officially needed then why students, immigrants have to pass IELTS? Fact is you can live without knowing any other language except English but not the other way around if are in any sort of job.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@RusselNorman Problem is sticking to ideology despite strong arguments against it and considering that green party is not far off.

@Liquid_Times @PowderPuffPlay It's few months left, Shane jones will sink it further, peak has already passed for NZF in polls

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@TheNzRocketeer @OpinionistNZ Same, I always voted strategically to have a counter balance but Shane Jones is unbearable so this time NZF is out of equation.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@realBigBrainAI Yup and these won't come cheap, most likely these will not be outright ownership. Subscription, software updates, maintenance, battery will all cost a a lot so this will likely be a business for top 1% or businesses.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@HanumanJiKiJ @winstonpeters Oh please!! You guys have been saying that for over 2.5 years. It's ok to disagree and still be an alliance. Pathetic when your only hope is fall of coalition.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@Moeilijk_Geval @hexles @ClintVSmith Yes, completely agree.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@Nobody06886476 @ClintVSmith No that is not the reality, otherwise person would not have accepted it in first place. Even homeowners live like that in thousands as they can't afford repairs. Reality is that when you have nothing, something is a blessing.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@Nirgal451 @Matthewjw1978 No you don't. Read a little more it's all available publicly

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@matt_horncastle On this I don't agree, minimum protections must be in place or it will be slavery again. You have no idea how bad some employers are.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@HanumanKiJaiHo @nzfirst @actparty Don't worry, it's exactly the way we see labour green and tpm failures as joint failure. Unfortunately Labours damage was so bad that I find current lot bearable. Even if left bloc does come into power nothing will change except we will be further poorer and we means working ones

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@kiwimum13 Agree, no wonder our taxes fall short and Acc levies rise affecting everyone.

[TheCentrist @NZCentrist]

@NZMAGAMike @Obese_Ballerina It has future but not sure about valuation. There will be competition coming for it just like Tesla has. People buying based on FOMO are just gambling.
