Kai for thought, @nzlabour@chrishipkins
Labour should move left to Social Democrat ground. Even consider nationalising some things. But this article re Ro Khanna interesting

"Are you the right kind of interesting? You have to drink Mac's beer to be right.
What's that you say? You don't?
Mac's, owned by Japanese behometh, Kirin?
No?
Then you're *not* the right kind of interesting, loser!"
Can we ban such propaganda?
@DrShaneRetiMP@_chloeswarbrick
The 'Right kind of interesting', the propagandists @DDB_Worldwide command us about Mac's beer.
If you choose something else, say non-alcoholic, well, that's the 'wrong' kind & you're just a loser, baby.
Are Nu Tirani NZ youth falling for this crap?

@boglyboohoo@kominsens Hi. When do you start as a public servant in Wellington then eh? You have a lot you want to accomplish going by your post. No grifter, you.
@jotaylor_taylor@kominsens#Europe's ploughing billions of euro into rail now. Parts of the #USA investing billions of dollars. #China is building one of the world's biggest rail networks.
In your view they're all wasting their money on 19C tech?
Wow, they must be a bunch of idiots, eh?
@NicolaWillisMP
@JulieAnneGenter Julie it's not just around schools lower speed limits prevent injuries & save lives.⁸
Central cities, suburban hubs, our state highways & rural roads, Hato Hone St John @StJohnNZ released stars showing drops. @SimeonBrownMP if wise will look at them before deciding.

@judamazloum@ryangrim Hello from New Zealand, Juda. Do you have a link or links to the plan you mention involving Germany, the Arab states, Egypt's debt, etc.? Or to media coverage about it? I'm keen to learn more about what you say. Thank you.
@Windynell @NZLivingStreets Except @SimeonBrownMP@chrisluxonmp & Nicola 'she will kill us' Willis @NicolaWillisMP have said they're anti-light rail. You know, despite it proving a winner globally & NZ's cities grew along tram lines in the 1st place with all the social, enviro & economic boons.
@NZGreens
Meanwhile in Egypt:
Presidential election results (were we even told by @1News@NewshubNZ etc they were being held?) are expected Monday Egypt time. Sitting president Adel Fattah El-Sisi @AlsisiOfficial expected to easily win 3rd 6 year term. Egypt big player in MidEast.

Meanwhile, in Canada:
Emergency Departments ('Rooms'; 'Casualty') are overburdened & potential patients are up & leaving before being seen. Other Canadian health concerns incl. obesity & staff shortages.

Meanwhile, in Germany:
A new setback for builders: The funding program for climate-friendly new buildings is being stopped - the funds have been used up. It is supposed to continue in 2024, and the opposition is horrified @NicolaWillisMP@NZGreens@nzherald@NewstalkZB#nzpol
Neuer Rückschlag für Bauherren: Das Förderprogramm für klimafreundliche Neubauten wird gestoppt – die Mittel sind aufgebraucht. 2024 soll es zwar weitergehen, die Opposition zeigt sich dennoch entsetzt. https://t.co/kIdPD1XBlv

Rail on Cook Strait @interislander ferries is now up for debate? What the hell? Surely not?
Our chief link between the north & south islands & now Nicola 'kill us' Willis & her coalition cronies are wavering on rail - a key transport option in this nation. They're nuts!

@nzpolkermit@chrisluxonmp@dbseymour 2) ... @dbseymour is spending $$$ on a new Ministry of Regulation! Madness.
Not to mention costs of converting newly installed lower speed limit signage back to old (deadlier) speeds, a possible contract cancellation fee on already-under-construction new Interislander ferries...
