No nurses have been included in the health ministry’s primary care advisory group. Multiple nurse leaders have written to the minister expressing concern, but have received no reply. Why is the experience of nurses so rarely acknowledged? #nzpol

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
