The key thing is that they don't care about homelessness, it's not designed to help with the problem. It's another way to be horrible to poor people and do what business people tell them to do.

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

Imagine a person so sick, deluded, that he believes the world will simply kneel and kiss his ass on command: "Trump is questioning why Iran has not yet "capitulated" in the face of Washington's military build-up in the Middle East.. Steve Witkoff has said."

On Move On orders - I've been in some of the meetings with Ministers about city centre safety issues in AK; it has repeatedly been discussed that the people doing the anti-social behaviour and the people who are visibly homeless on our streets are usually NOT the same people.

The reason why we can afford to put homeless people in prison but not housing is because if you house them the homeless person benefits but if you put them in prison we can funnel public funds to a private prison corporation. It’s always about funneling public funds to the wealthy. Always.

So the CoC are targeting the biggest criminals in our society- the homeless.
Israel kills 70,000- tsk tsk from Peters
Trump ICE thugs kill US citizens for driving their own cars- silence from Luxon.
Protestors targeted in UK- silence from Seymour.
NZers breaking the rentier cycle- FINE THEM!!

Useful graph for the debt scare folks. Govt debt-servicing costs are super low these days. So much headroom to invest in the many, many things we need for the long-term, yet still we beg for eye-wateringly expensive private finance.

How fraudsters and scammers are getting more sophisticated in NZ Economic cost of fraud is believed to be around $10 billion.

The economic cost of fraud in NZ is about $10 billion a year; $7-$8b of that is tax avoidance.

Wealthy individuals and multinational corporations are the primary drivers of large-scale tax avoidance.

If we want to β€œclaw back welfare payments” let’s start with the ones we’re giving to the wealthy.
