Key's gvt allowed bigger and heavier trucks. They don't pay their way compared to their damaging effects.

I wasn't too unhappy with ACC refusing to fund shoulder surgery. Having an immobile shoulder for several months so no driving followed by more restricted muscle mvt gave me pause. Good luck. You managed last year, you can manage again!🀞✌️

The Peoples Project The People's Project supports people experiencing homelessness in Hamilton and Tauranga into an home and then to get the services they need.

Move On is at odds with this People's Project to rehouse the homeless in Hamilton. How bizarre.
Schizo city or MP?

Gary Stevenson is being interviewed on Q&A tomorrow & giving a talk on March 4 at the Bruce Mason Theatre. He always mentions his dad, who worked for the PO, could buy a house & afford a good life. Tax wealth not work he says.

Live: Israel says it launched pre-emptive attack against Iran The attack follows repeated US-Israeli warnings that they would strike again, if Iran pressed ahead with its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

What happens when a few ppl have all the money so no one can afford anything? Mass suicide? French Revolution Mark 2?

I remember reading it was an offence to feed the striking wharfies. Thks will watch. Today the Greens are labelled commies or a clown show or dangerous. The same capitalist mindset. It's great a Green female plumber won a seat in the UK yesterday.

My nephew is gay and has been in the army for a few years now. He's a lawyer and loves it. He's often flown places like to Auckland for Pride Week last year to represent them.

Yesterday, I found a grocery delivery from Woolworths on my doorstep. I called Olive to let them know about the incorrect delivery. I had to give the delivery number. I got an email to say they couldn't pick up the delivery so I could keep it! Just let's you know how much profit Woollies is making!

Congratulations, Greens. A bright note in dark times. Thank you, Zack, for reviving hope like Mamdani. I hope the Greens in AotearoaNZ can win big, too. RW media in all countries aren't helping.

Daily, I wonder who is looking ahead at the big picture in this gvt. Agriculture has reached its limits. We need other ways to make money. Most impt inventions like the Internet were gvt funded. Where are the jobs for yng ppl coming from? Esp now AI has landed. Idiots.

Cartoon of an Aboriginal man complaining about Epn colonisers.

During the 19th & early 20th centuries, Australian colonists poisoned Aboriginal people by lacing flour, damper (bread), or water sources with arsenic or strychnine, esp in Qland & NSW. Smallpox infected blankets were given in a few documented cases in Canada & USA to indigenous ppl.

It's interesting that Epstein funded research to show Africans were less intelligent. These beautiful headdresses expose the lie. They shd also be in Nigeria.
