@nickofnz About time someone took some leadership on this issue

[russdwallace @russdwallace]

@nickofnz You need to get out of your ivory tower a bit more Nick and see the vast amounts of pristine New Zealand landscape being taken over by these insidious trees. They are like a cancerous tumour invading our land, both public and privately owned.

@nickofnz Haha. New York seems to be “work in progress”

NZ would not be discussing increasing the Superannuation age if Muldoon had left the 1970’s Labour Party introduced scheme in place. NZ would now be among the world’s wealthiest nations. https://t.co/AMM2dYtstk

@SimonCourtACT @Kenductor New Zealand’s biggest hypocrites, the so called “green party”.
They have been taking too many mind altering drugs for too long to be relevant today.

@nickofnz Full of shit 💩 as usual

[russdwallace @russdwallace]

ACT coming out with some practical discussion around immigration. Of course @TVNZ rush straight to the lefty low performing Greens for their views. Of course these wankers will always oppose any changes.

@winstonpeters NZ does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. Too many councils, committees, civil servants, MP's, NGO's, ministries, charities and grievance grifters sucking on the tit. They need gutting, the spending needs reigning in.

NZ needs a DOGE.

For $128,000 you can buy a Jetson ONE, take off from your backyard, and never need a pilot's license. Every spec on it is reverse-engineered from a single FAA regulation.

Part 103 caps ultralight empty weight at 254 pounds. Jetson built theirs at 189. Part 103 caps level flight at 55 knots. Jetson tops out at 63 mph, exactly that. Part 103 allows one occupant. Jetson built one seat.

Stay inside those lines and the FAA does not classify what you are flying as an aircraft. No pilot's license. No medical certificate. No registration. No regulatory oversight of the design. No regulatory oversight of operator competency.

That is the entire business model. The $128K buys you exemption from being a pilot.

You can see it in the rest of the spec sheet. 13.5 kWh battery for 17 minutes of flight. Open cockpit, helmet required. Daylight only, uncongested areas, away from airports. Every line is a Part 103 rule rendered as hardware. Build it any other way and it stops being an ultralight, which means type certification, which means five years and nine figures before you ship a single unit.

Joby has been at it since 2009. Archer since 2018. Combined they have raised over $4 billion building certified eVTOLs. Neither has carried a paying passenger.

Jetson started shipping in 2024. Sold out through 2026. Deliveries pushed to 2027. Palmer Luckey took the first production unit. MrBeast flew one down the California coast.

The whole point of buying a Jetson is the permission slip that comes with it.

Everything else is just hardware.

@agvocate_au @stationmum101 The only way to stop it growing is to bury it deep with deep ploughing.
