Now we know how National would have handled the Covid pandemic. The 20,000 we saved would be dead.

Time away from school can be disruptive. As opposed to an outbreak that kills and maims people.

Does anyone know of any car boot sales (or similar) happening in the Wellington (NZ) Region in the next couple of months?

This is it for me too, largely it is a mental break from the RW dickheadedness I am surrounded by.

Maybe PH is popular among the only demongraphic they cater for these days.

It's 2025 and my law firm is still beating Trump's voter suppression in court.

We fight hard and we usually win.

If the NATACT government had a real interest in improving education outcomes and not just enriching their friends by training young fascists, it might be a different story.

Really, Andrew Little? Andrew Little has appointed Ray Chung to head an important Wellington City Council committee. We don't think he should be doing that. If you agree, please tell him so. Here's how.

Emily (Emily Writes) and I drafted a letter to Andrew Little about his decision to appoint Ray Chung as chair of the CCO Review & Appointments subcommittee. We think this is unacceptable given his past behaviour. Here's a template for a letter if you agree:

Western civilisation school is jumping the gun a bit, eh.
Also Socrates himself is particularly missed.

"Keep rates affordable" means not keeping them affordable. Someone else always pays for the penny pinching. The ratepayers pay in reduced/cancelled services; constant restructuring at their councils reduces customer service; less spent on the things that make a community like parks, culture #nzpol

Those 30+ general population here who've been rigorous about 6 monthly covid vaccines and never had covid will be due sometime now or soon.

This post brought to you by checking my dates after a Tuesday exposure event that (based on daily testing) doesn't seem (at least yet) to have infected me.

What's even more wrong is the other countries that want to emulate the US privatised healthcare system - Britain and New Zealand, for example. We can all see how broken and unaffordable it is, why the hell do our governments seem hell-bent on copying other countries' failures?! #NZpol
