Wellington City Council vote to allow Ray Chung appointment

Imo this is on the same spectrum as the PoliceNZ scandal. Attacking women should be a disqualifier for any role and definitely an sppoitment that gives you power over others #nzpol 1/2

Women’s lives, our reputations, our safety are discounted. Misogny in action.

Beyond frustration! I just wished we could get on and just do the work.

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Sorry for your loss 😢

So what would be a good strategy to try and resolve the imbalance?

🫂 thinking of you xx

Yes I agree, you describe it perfectly. People who give birth to children are also additional affected as it very hard/ impossible to contribute due periods of perental leave.

Yes, unfortunately so 😔

Done

Depressing 😔.

How would you describe that worldview? “My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It’s an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, universities, babysitting…”

Why do Americans believe they can’t have nice things?

Stellan Skarsgård nails it.

New benefit sanctions will help beneficiaries find jobs, says Social Development Minister Louise Upston Those failing an obligation for the first time will either have to do job-search activities or attend employment-related training courses.

“Upston said [they’d have to] attend one or more employment-related training courses.”

Why? Will this magic up jobs for the unemployed to apply for?

Piss off, will you, with the beneficiary-bashing. Sanctions won’t make the jobs magically appear.

Your regular reminder that unions represent PEOPLE. They are simply the voice of the PEOPLE they represent.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Attack them and you’re attacking the people they represent.
It’s pretty simple.

Yes me too

💯 it's disappointing and dispiririting 😔

Yes he is dispicable *shudder* 🤢

Yes let's hope, it will mostly come down to who else has been voted for. Personally disappointed to see Ray Chung, Diane Calvert and Karl Tiefenbacher have been voted in 😬

Yes I agree. The Wellington mayor options were mediocre at best.

Excellent 👏🏼

This is marvelous 😂

This is GOLD 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂

Yes, I feel exactly the same.

Same

If you are, I am as well. The payments remain the same.

Decoding the ‘cult of masculinity’ around Tom Phillips The support for the Marokopa fugitive reveals several pervasive myths about masculinity, fathers and the court system.

A great piece from Alex Casey about the noxious soup: "It’s like men’s potential suffering is tragic, and women’s actual suffering is just our lot in life."
