We are wealthy and sorted, per capita
If we are so collectively rich as a nation, why does the government insist we're too poor to pay for anything?
I reckon true Better Economic Managers™️ would be able to figure out a way to leverage this wealth to pay for things. 🤔 #nzpol

Sendo a 2a maior população carceraria (e 3a per capita) do mundo, faz-se a correção:

Industrial livestock doesn’t just pollute our waterways & wipe out biodiversity, it also threatens our very existence.
On a per capita basis, Ireland is among world’s worst livestock polluters.

Meanwhile in Australia, one of the wealthiest nations per capita, decades of policy failure are increasing #homelessness and #inequality. #auspol
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Damn, I read Judith's letter! I'll leave the politics to others, but, lord, the Govt spending stuff is REALLY BAD! I'll try and keep this short.
First up, this bare-faced lie. The countries in the pink circle have a similar-sized economy to NZ. Govt spending is a lot higher in all but one . [🧵 1/n]

Universal healthcare is cheaper than the current system we have. Every country that has it spends less per capita than our insurance dominated system.

So the per capita consumption drops, for drinking is declining by a higher percentage than population.
Add in the fact that Russia is disproportionately recruiting heavy drinkers into the Army, and the decline in per capita civilian drinking is even larger.

Since local media are now attacking paid parking at Balboa Park with appeals to equity, reposting some figures I made earlier showing who goes to the park under the existing car-priority system.
Excludes D3 since it contains the park and is an extreme outlier, and D5 and D8 for extreme distance.

Trump will happily send troops to LA and SF but not Kern County, CA, which has one of the highest per-capita crime rates in state.
How come?
I’m suuuuure it has nothing to do with the fact that Trump carried solidly-red Kern by 21 points in 2024.

Another Georgian activist arrested today for allegedly blocking the road — Koko Mikaia.
The total number of political prisoners in Georgia — a country of 3.7 million people — is approaching 140. Per capita, we have more political prisoners than Russia.

No, I want socialism like they have in Scandinavia. Where people live longer despite paying less per capita for healthcare, nobody is able to horde billions of dollars from their fellow citizens, and all sorts of other really great policies that result in a much better quality of life than here.

Vic premier Jacinta Allan responds after Qld Premier David Crisafulli attempted to make a joke after a stabbing in Melbourne's CBD. This is on top of admitting last week his crime numbers were wrong. He thinks he's Batman but he's using his own metric of victims per capita instead of ABS. #qldpol

Take these numbers with a grain of salt, but that's how transit ridership in Bologna look like 1932-2024.
If we exclude the 1975-85 period (I explain why in the next post), ridership per capita has been above the late 1960s lows until now, and reached an all time high in 2019

So an estimated 7m marched in the No Kings protest according to several sources. That’s, per capita, the same as a Dublin march of 100,000.
It’s better than the last one [5m] & fairly decent as something to build on.
For the marches to have an impact I suggest 17m would show wide public concern
