@spirogenetor@FlyingLow666@NZ_Lolbertarian It's a bad idea to compare the two - because a ward can operate short staffed but a firetruck cannot. And that makes full staffing of nurses look unnecessary.
Anyway, FF are maintaining equipment, training, doing paperwork, community education etc even when not fighting fires.
@NZ_Lolbertarian Nurses aren't as effective at work-to-rule b/c of female empathy and sick kids. We all know this but can't say it.
FF have less of a personal r/ship with their public, and are assumed to be on top of their industrial concerns.
But the wins of the 90s are long gone.
@banfield_jane@DavisAndrew88 He was using metaphor. A similar incident happened recently with a bunch of kids storming a food court and assaulting a worker. Charming, right?
I think they used to promote provincial cities as good places for families. Lol.
@MichaelFieldNZ The price of multikulti. Language is taonga right?
If Sanskrit seems irrelevant or offensive to you, perhaps dwell a moment on the complex relationship Indians have had with the Crown.
Māori activists could only dream of the injustices India had inflicted on it.
@jeff32567916@Elizabe90736128@ljd216 If you are interested, there are a bunch of videos on YT covering low carb and carnivore diets for AI, and other health conditions.
Exercise caution - and seek out advice from channels run by functional medicine experts. Low carb down under has interesting seminars.
@no_folds@ArbyHyde@jacindaardern@chrisluxonmp Not as much as crashing the economy does.
Frankly, if someone is sticking their neck out for those worse off than them, I'm not going to police their language.
And we are vulnerable to small fluctuations in the cost of living. There is no dropping Netflix or cutting out the vino
@ca_mcarr @davidfarrier Historically very low numbers, and despite claims to the contrary, well tolerated.
The issue now is with social contagion, irreversible treatments for minors, and the inability to have these discussions in public.
I'm a cyclist and not a National supporter but still think this was the better option, for now.
Eventually we'll need to get bikes across, but once the middle class can't afford cars there will be a spare lane going.
NZTA has made the right decision (again) to not remove lanes on the Auckland Harbour Bridge for a cycle lane.
Removing lanes would cause significant congestion, inefficiency for key freight routes and PT disruption.
Common sense has prevailed with this decision by NZTA.
