#NZPol RNZ had this on the radio at lunchtime-ish and did a nice job covering it, but it’s not on the website that I can see. #InternalConflict?

#NZPol I’ll say it plainly because RNZ suck donkey cock when it comes to actually describing the larger truths of the world, conservative cucks who can’t say genocide that they are.

Gold is up because trump is a moron who is destroying the US economy and no-one trusts him to do anything right.

Why are gold prices surging?

Prices have surged 50 percent in 2025 alone, marking the metal's biggest rally since the 1970s.

I don't think people fully understand how remarkable this is. In 2024 China was installing the equivalent of five large nuclear power plants worth of wind and solar every single week. Now look at 2025.

There are dozens of charts just like this one across the vast swaths of transportation & energy. If you're living in an 1800s technology pipeline world, you're living in a delusion.

China installed more than twice as much solar capacity in the first half of 2025 as the rest of the world combined

Fucksake. It's quite clear now that they only looked at this benefit policy as political marketing and took no advice on who it would impact – which includes young people with serious health issues and disabilities. Just feckless and cynical. Shame on them. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

In 2022, protestors hurled bricks, faeces at police & lit fires. Winston Peters said those protestors just wanted to be "heard" & shook their hands.
