Met up with an old mate this week. He made millions but lost it all. I can relate. Things fall apart. But he has such positive vibes and great attitude.

Shit happens but instead of bitterness, it’s better to appreciate small blessings and remain true to yourself

The β€œMum and Dad” marketing line hides the reality that 1% of households own half the wealth, while 50% own nothing.

A proper tax system unlocks wealth for the whole nation, and is far more productive than a fabulously rich class buying superyachts and politicians

Renters rights and the money behind them must be shown respect. This is nothing more than a controlled and abusive system. The rule of law has been abrogated for the rule of he who owns more. Not good.

I am so done with this bullshit.

NZ First mingled with a crowd who set fire to the grounds of parliament.

The Greens marched with a hΔ«koi that did not leave a scrap of litter on those same grounds.

this country is so funny: a series of welfare subsidies that end up in the hands of landlords and private childcare providers; a chronically unaffordable housing market; a publicly-owned electricity generation and retail racket; oligopolies in supermarket and telecommunication sectors lol

β€œIt is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

β€œYou cannot serve God and Mammon (wealth).”

Crackdown on rough sleepers ignores homeless kids

Comment: Women and children are living in cars, garages and over-crowded houses – but as long as they're out of politicians' sight, they're out of mind, writes Jo Cribb.

Every time there’s a policy proposal for housing they find some old duck who is afraid of losing her nest egg. While ignoring the epidemic of homelessness and children in poverty
