@ARealPresident1 @matt_horncastle The one without horncastle simps like you apparently

@CullenKehoe @matt_horncastle You mean the GST rate that National increased to 15% in 2010? And the increase to 82c/litre fuel excise tax National also plans to implement from Jan 2027??

[Sarah @katieoneeighty1]

@CullenKehoe @matt_horncastle Nope - the math ain’t mathing. Or does your rage not allow you to operate a calculator?

[Sarah @katieoneeighty1]

@ARealPresident1 @matt_horncastle Even if he taxes your income at 50%? Because that’s what he believes is happening so that must be how he’s taxing his employees. Hard to want to work for someone who would basically be stealing from you, unless you like being exploited - then all power to you!

The 2023 IRD wealth study found that the richest 300 people in NZ pay tax rate of 9.4%, versus 28% for someone earning $80k. Luxon Govt is removing the clauses of the tax law that allowed IRD to collect the study data. They don’t want you to know. https://t.co/tsZ05T09ug

To Bolger's credit, he spent the last part of his life expressing his disgust at people exactly like David Seymour.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Because people are fucking stupid.

isn’t it crazy that republicans can link tylenol to autism but not guns to mass shootings

[maia arson crimew facts and tea @awawawhoami]

charlie kirk died for what he believed in. in a literal sense: he believed in a world where gun deaths are inevitable and the solution to problems is violence. he excused his own death before it happened. if anyone else had died he'd already be weaponizing and relativizing it.

[Caroline Renard @carolinerenard_]

He wasn’t an elected official. Didn’t make any significant change to better this world. Wasn’t an activist. Didn’t serve in the military. Just a loud privileged white supremacist with a podcast but they’re trying to revere him as some kind of hero. These people are ridiculous.

[Francis McRae @FrankMcRae]

Insane seeing people trying to celebrate kirk as some peaceful civil libertarian. He spent his life promoting authoritarianism and inciting violence and met his end in the world he worked to create

[Jack Meyer 🏛️ @Jackbmeyer]

I’m a bit surprised by the number of seemingly sensible people that fell for the ‘change my mind’ pretense of campus political debates and imagine these events as some kind of good-faith forum for engaging with different political views

[Ethan @buildmoreethans]

Main points from a convo with my Aussie coworker who visited NZ last November

- beautiful
- no commerce
- Chch was sad and just Wilson parking lots
-no young people
- her ferry broke down
- expensive food
- expensive to get around and you can only get around by car

@ClintVSmith Stanford says the Māori words didn't fit the scope & sequence of books helping kids learn to read.

Better Start Literacy Approach founder Gail Gillon says there's "absolutely no evidence to suggest children are finding this reader confusing. Our data would suggest the opposite."

bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. 1/2

[Sam Sachdeva @SamSachdevaNZ]

David Seymour described smokers as “fiscal heroes” during a speech to a neoliberal thinktank in London this month: “If you want to save your country’s balance sheet, light up … lots of excise tax, no pension.”

Tobacco researchers are…unimpressed:

Anthony Scaramucci is right. Gavin Newsom had a choice. Either appease the deranged authoritarian despot like Neville Chamberlain did — or tell the fascist shitstain to 'bring it on' like Winston Churchill. Like Churchill, Newsom chose to stand up to the tyranny of Taco Pedo.
