@gruber.foo Hi John, re. your latest article on OpenDyslectic and that “they’re just ugly fonts”: Not true, my wife reacted with shock and amazement when she realized she could read without struggle, now using it on all her devices. She feels ‘over’ her handicap, so there’s more to this story.

The Trump administration and Department of Energy policies have already cost Americans 91,000 clean energy jobs and counting.
They are actively killing jobs in rural places and small towns across this country, and they have no plan to replace them.

We tried to explain fiscal policy in NZ was crazy last year. Jack Tame was nice enough to interview me on Q&A on TVNZ. The RBNZ responded by disagreeing dismissively and the NZ Gov ignored us.
It gives us no satisfaction to see unemployment rising & NZers migrating to Australia.

Putin is doing this only because Trump is too
