Current state of Covid-19 policy in New Zealand: People should get vaccinated and should adopt other measures as prevalence rises and falls, but we won't let you have vaccines and won't provide reliable information about case prevalence.

Twitter fired engineers based on LOC they contributed in the last months. You can only make this shit up.

National's plan to address poverty is to cut taxes for the rich and then hope that they donate to fund social programmes.

What if (crazy idea) we didn't give the wealthiest NZers tax cuts and instead properly funded our social services?

the infrastructure which really feels like it changes things is not just protected bike lanes - plenty of the ride is quiet backstreets or bus lanes. it’s the cycle priority lights on major intersections! changes the way the central city feels entirely.

@_UncleCheese_ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? Maybe uneconomic to repair due to how it’s designed #RightToRepair

So we face global inflationary pressures driven particularly by high fossil fuel costs - and instead of cutting our dependency on fossil fuels to cut inflation (good for climate too eh!), the economic establishment plans to drive thousands of people into unemployment and poverty

A system that needs this feels kinda broken to me 🤷🏽

@JulieAnneGenter Nightjets and Railjets are great and comfy. NZ should have something like that too.
