@MarkHubbard33@dbseymour@chrisluxonmp “Luxon’s economic plan appears to be: lose jobs at home, import labour from abroad, then call it ‘growth’ with a straight face.
Spot on!! 🎯😎😆
I can’t wait for the comments!!
Nicklas Nilsson explains the difference between right-wing and left-wing people in spot-on text on Facebook:
"If a right-wing person is gay, then he is, and he doesn't care what others think.
If a left-winger is gay, then he demands legal changes, protests against everything and everyone, and turns it into a political struggle.
If a right-winger is vegan, then he simply doesn't eat meat.
If a left-winger is vegan, then he wants to ban meat, halt food production, and protest outside farms and chicken farms.
If a right-winger doesn't like guns, then he just doesn't buy any.
If a left-winger doesn't like guns, then he tries to ban them, prevent everyone else from owning one, and hates those who do.
If a right-winger is worried about the climate, then he flies less, drives an electric car if it suits him, and sorts his waste.
If a left-winger is worried about the climate, then he wants to ban fossil fuel cars, air travel, and meat for everyone else, protest outside factories, and demand that the state forces the change.
If a right-winger wants to give his children a good education, then he moves to an area with good schools, or chooses a private school, or gets involved himself.
If a left-winger wants to give his children a good education, then he demands more tax money from everyone, equal results for all, a ban on charter schools, and protests against every inequality.
If a right-winger complains about his job or workplace.. he doesn't. He changes jobs or starts his own business.
If a left-winger complains about his job – then it's the boss, the company, or the colleagues who are at fault. He demands collective agreements, strikes, changes for the whole community, and protests against the company so that it suits him.
If a right-winger is dissatisfied with his housing or rent, then he moves, renovates, or buys something else.
If a left-winger is dissatisfied with his housing or rent, then he demands rent freezes, more subsidies, regulations for everyone, and protests against landlords and politicians.
If a right-winger fails with a business or an investment that goes wrong, then he gets up, dusts himself off, and tries again tomorrow.
If a left-winger runs out of money on the 24th, then he blames the rich for having too much and needing to contribute more, blames the lottery win that didn't come home last week, and mutters that he has such damn bad luck.
If a right-winger sees this – then he sends it to a few friends for a good laugh.
If a left-winger sees this – then he tries to argue against it, get it removed, and delete me from Facebook."
@LukeGromen@elonmusk@chamath I suspect Universal High Income becomes the control mechanism. If AI and robots produce the wealth, whoever controls access to that wealth controls the population. You don't need chains when you can turn off the income.
@ABridgen FFS!
Water isn't a fuel. It's the ash after hydrogen has already been burned.
Claiming a car runs on water is like claiming a fireplace runs on smoke.
@foo_4_thought@JudithCollinsKC Officials confirm: While the HMNZS Manawanui rests on the seabed, elite divers have secured the captain’s treasured mug. Some things simply can’t be replaced.
@RyanHendersonNZ@JosephMooneyMP Could increased migration to Australia via NZ risk diluting the unique labour advantage Kiwis have in Australia? If NZ becomes a stepping stone, will Australia rethink the pathway?
@chrisluxonmp Skellerup Red Bands don’t have a hope in hell of competing in India. You’re taking a ~$90 NZD boot into a market that clears at $8–$15—no FTA fixes that. That’s not tariffs; it’s a mismatch in economic reality. Indian buyers want the cheapest functional boot, not a premium import
