They didn’t end them over politics, they are ending it because of ethics.
Voting for Trump is just saying you’re an ignorant puppet who has been manipulated by lies into putting the fox in charge of the hen house!
The smart hens think that’s a stupid idea!
The stupid ones think they are right because more of them voted for the fox!
@TomasTusel @BeetBayley@TexasLucha@MsTrixieRVA@DisrespectedThe You pointed out the real problem perfectly.
But it’s an own goal…The problem is that ignorant people think a consensus (wining a vote)., makes them right, but facts and logic make you right.
Have fun watching your costs go up and your society burn…consequences!

Moving to Bluesky…because integrity matters.
It was bad before, but this platform is now primarily a weapon of propaganda and lies.
Elon will not see any of my $ again.
@piyushmittal Naa…it’s actually worse than that…in your example they should still add a 100% markup to their landed price, so it will be $60 a shirt.
Then if you do the same to all the parts and components ot things that are made in the USA, but using parts from offshore it’s insane!
@guelphgirlchris The stupidity of people like this is that they can’t see reality because they are so indoctrinated.
They think facts and truth is based on consensus and not logic and reasoning…that wining the vote means they are proven “right”.
They cant grasp than they have been manipulated.
Yeah, it’s not like the europeans who arrived believed in an all-powerful, all-knowing being who created the entire universe, but remains invisible and largely intangible, operating from an unseen dimension. They follow a story where this being sent his son—who is also himself—to Earth via a virgin birth, to ultimately be sacrificed in an act of divine forgiveness. This son, who performed miracles like turning water into wine and walking on water, then came back to life, proving that death itself could be defeated. They believe that accepting these ideas, often without concrete evidence, leads to eternal life in a paradise, while skepticism could lead to eternal damnation in a fiery realm. It’s a faith that calls for trust in the unseen and belief in miracles beyond the grasp of science.

When you sober up and need to think about “something else”…I know a great restaurant (my shout) as a thanks for a you have done.
It will require a long nap on a plane, but you will like it here :)

Trump Cult members + misogyny + racism + misinformation + followers of Musk / Rogan etc 51%.
But mostly ignorance and blaming the current gov for Covid and the global economy because they don’t understand cause and effect or the time it takes for changes to effect them 🤷♂️
The irony is most of the pain they feel is the long term consequence of the last Trump gov and now they have put the fox in charge of the hen house and Middle America is going to get well and truly F*ed over…if they do half of what they said it will make the great depression seem like a practice run and the USA will be put back into the dark ages!
Look forward to all your costs going through the roof and medical care being something only the rich can get etc as every system of protection in place for the environment and peoples safety will get culled so corporates can do whatever they want without any controls or obstacles!
I think the phrase Middle America is going to learn is “F around and find out!” And they will know 1st hand what all those Ma’s and Pa’s who just got scammed out of their life savings feels like first hand!
@MichaelJStern1 It’s a sad day for humanity, but I guess I should update my dating profile for any women who want to move to New Zealand!
If you feel bad, just think about what it would be like for a Ukrainian today!
Yes and race and ignorance.
Like any con-man Trump tells people about their pain, so they feel heard and so believe him when he says he will fix it.
Democrats try to explain the nuance of the issue and people just think it’s an excuse because it’s not what they want to hear…
When you add the Covid trauma and consequences that are both economic and that take time to turn around…they just want to blame the govt.
In New Zealand the public turned on one of the best leaders in a generation and put in a bunch of populous idiots who are bumbling everything for the same reason.
They still have support because they just tell people what they want to hear!
Have to say, Integrity is hard to find these days and Sam seems to ooze it and the values of what I deem to be a Kiwi in every interaction I see him have!
I think I would have to say a bucket list moment for me would have to be to drive all the way down to Arrowtown pop into his place to say: “Hi, just wanted to introduce you to my dog (Black Lab X) because he’s never met a pig and well, been meaning to say sorry for that time I walked into you coming out of the dairy (in Arrowtown) in 94/95…have been worried I might have squashed that pie you where holding and it was real cold, so didn’t get a chance to apologise in the awkward moment (me looking stunned because it was Sam Neil and you because a 6’9 guy just appeared from nowhere and smashed your pie into your chest).
Heard you where a bit crook, so glad to see your looking good! Liked the post about the Hospital…thanks, your a bit of a legend!”
Then maybe buy a bottle of wine (in part to make things square about the whole pie incident) and drive back to the AK, feeling like the universe was back in balance!
We need more blokes like Sam!
@Generali11@DianeDromgold@BenFordhamLive No, but they can say…”I just don’t want you on my property…it’s just a vibe thing”.
It only becomes a legal issue if they give a reason that is protected”.
Like in the USA “You’re fired because you’re a woman” (Bad). “You’re fired, just because” (Fine).
@mauriceraiti This NACT govt is so so so stupid, the first time someone hands them a solution that sounds like what they want, they jump on it!
Their hubris and ignorance makes them suckers for a sales pitch, they are either gullible idiots or wreck-less and self serving!
@mauriceraiti The primary cause of the leaky homes issues was from private building consent contractors ending up in a situation where their entire revenue was from one prime contractor, so they ended up with a conflict of interest.
This plan will guarantee this issue occurs again 🤦🏼♂️ Idiots!
Imagine if every voter actually had the courage and patience to watch this (and the Trump version), take a moment to ACTUALLY THINK about the propaganda they may have been fed to consider which person has the actual skills, experience for the job.

One candidate is a rational, educated, informed person with real world experience of the common folk and the struggles, issues they face and a history of making balanced considered decisions.
The other is a hate filled, con man who is one foot from the grave, talking nonsense, with a history of fraud, criminal activities and being sucked into and being manipulated by others leveraging his mental illness (narcissism) that means he also has no cognitive ability to have empathy (critical in management and public service) but people think there is some comparison for the role of PRESIDENT!?
🤦🏼♂️
Because it’s the govt spending the actual cost is $3 PLUS all the losses of taxation revenue, PLUS all the extra benefit costs to any of those employees who now don’t have work (consider one benefit buys a lot of the margin on top of $3 meals) plus the lost foreign currency that NZ will have to earn somewhere else for every $ that goes offshore to Atlas etc.
$3 is not the fully loaded cost to the NZ taxpayer / Govt!
We have to stop the NACT’s “free puppy” sales pitches to their ignorant base!
@rugbyintel@MikeMatakatia What I would say to you is, how about you learn the difference between government spending and private spending when the services and materials you are buying are all in NZ dollars and tell people what the actual cost (or benefit) there is to the NZ Govt 🤦🏼♂️
