Not a crisis for the nats until they are under 25%. Just trouble for now. They'll feel OK if the pop over 30 again.

Look. What I say to you is this.

Superannuitants are a burden our Super system can't afford. Like jobs or any income for young people, healthcare for the sick, housing the homeless or pay equity. All unaffordable.

These are the tough choices needed to protect our vulnerable ultra wealthy.

Never mind all that, I read in Stuff that the reason the economy is stuck in the u-bend is cycle lanes.

CNBC: The top 0.1% have nearly doubled their wealth since 2020.

An economy dependent on the portfolios of a tiny elite isn't just unfair—it's unstable.

It is time to tax extreme wealth and invest in the real economy for the benefit of all.

Just for clarity, the unemployment numbers under this government may look terrible, but keep in mind, Luxon has driven tens of thousands of Kiwis overseas as well, so its actually far worse. These numbers are just the ones that couldnt leave.

None of this is happening in Kapiti. I know because a local election candidate told me.

Perhaps we're in some kind of gravity inversion.

Look. What I say to you is this.

The more businesses that struggle, the more I get to victimise the unemployed. I have poverty and homelessness KPIs to meet with my core sociopath vote.

I keep thinking of Luxon's "we're going to happen to the future" nonsense when I read news like this.

In his own terms he's failed...because the future is going to happen to us in NZ under his Govt...and it's not going to be pleasant.

Look. What I say to you is this.

When I say go to where the jobs are, I mean with free MPs travel allowances; flights and limos. Stay in one of your many houses around the country for which you're entitled to an entitlement of $1,000 tax free.
