@garyandglendah1@HwsEleutheroi@realmikolson Different people have different reasons for our view of Ardern, but for me and many others it was legislating that unvaccinated people weren't allowed in large classes of businesses (cafes, hair salons, libraries) and that whole industries had to mandate vaccinations for staff.
@garyandglendah1@HwsEleutheroi@realmikolson Maybe I'm making it sound a bit grander than it is, but Ardern is viscerally hated and she is reminded of it every time she's seen in public, which is why she doesn't live here. Some of this may be to do with the size of the country though.
@sandysummer353@aniobrien Liberalism is the solution. That's where you judge people by their actions, not their identity group. We can avoid rebounding to a different extremism if we return to our liberal principles. The US and Britain have historically been good at this and can be again.
@MarkHubbard33 The DTCC is the company that settles all US stock transactions. They turn over 4 quadrillion dollars yearly. They have a multi-chain strategy to tokenize assets on crypto rails by the first half of 2027. The gap between how crypto is perceived and how it actually is is enormous.
