Wealthy & Sorted's version of climate adaptation: adapting to leaving kiwis behind.
Let’s not forget this is where our govt wants to head, as it continues to throw everything at burning as many fossil fuels as it can. Someone tell the good people of Papamoa, Mt Maunganui, Matakaoa, Tairāwhiti, Oākura

Muppet greatness. I need everyone to watch this so Disney sees the numbers and accidentally approves more Muppets.

What's the single overall best car chase in cinema history? One that almost has everything you would want from a car chase?

It's not a bold or original answer, but I think I have to go with the French Connection

Oh there's political recognition alright. It came in the form of government moving to limit future liability for clean up. Expect to hear more from our prime manager about personal responsibility as the insurance companies pull out.
life ending and infrastructure destroying floods are now an annual occurrence in new zealand. there is no political recognition of this new reality, and thus there is no resourcing for its prevention. we are not ready

Coming up three months since redundancy and I'm starting to get job hunting burn out, even with a break over Christmas from searching and applying for jobs, it's always there looming in the background.

If you're going to compare yourself to Mamdani, you better be promising free public transport and childcare, and affordable rents.

Raising taxes would send Kiwis overseas? Bitch crack a newspaper once in a while huh? Or ya know, even better, actually read your briefing from Stats.
Raising taxes on rentiers would snuff out the recovery, but making working people save more is 'ambitious for the future' . Clown show. Come. On. Commentariat. This ain't hard.

“He earns about $20k more than he did in New Zealand…and he prefers Australia’s center-left government to NZ’s conservative leadership.

Plus the vibes are just better.

‘It feels more positive here,’ he said. ‘People seem happier.’”
