Just like all piece of shit managers, they come in, restructure everything to no real purpose, claim they are geniuses, then fuck off and leave the people to figure out what to do with their mess.
Minister for Throwing Used Car Batteries in the Ocean to abolish the only thing standing between him and throwing used car batteries in the ocean - regional councils

No more regional councils - major shake-up of local government announced
The government says it is not a power grab, but about "making local government fit for purpose".

So ... the government just forced us all to have referendums on *existing* Māori wards because Local Communities Deserve Choice, but now they're unilaterally abolishing our regional councils because they don't like the Choices we made?

It’s wild that the tradition of singing anthems before sports matches started with a Wales v NZ rugby match in 1905, as the Welsh wanted to drown out the haka.
The haka is a longer and more established tradition than pre-game national anthems. 🤯 No more moaning that the AB’s should stop doing it.

I turned off Gmail’s new default setting that uses your inbox to train AI, which removed all sorts of functionality that never required AI before, including inbox sorting. Went from 5 unread to like 10,000 instantly lol.
I guess I’ll be unsubscribing from literally everything! Enshittification.
