Open letter to the people of New Zealand
HON JUDITH COLLINS KC
Public Service
To the patients, students and families affected by this week's planned strike,
The Government regrets the impact on you, your children and your families that is expected on Thursday because of a strike planned by a number of unions.
We regret even more that the strike appears to be politically motivated by the unions.

But...what do I do with this now?

Image of an RPG Trident:
Name: Non-fungible trident
Weapon (trident), artifact (requires attunement)
You gain +3 to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapn. Whenever you score a critical hit on a creature with this weapon, they instantly die.
In addition, the Non-Fungible trident can be used to cast the Wish spell 3 times per day.
Curse: You may never actually wield the trident in a physical sense. You may never touch the trident or attune to it at all. Yes, you may have purchased it, and you do *own* it, however it must stay sealed within the ancient vaults of Tyr'Ygsol. Instead of wielding it, you may carry a fine painting of the trident* and official papers of authentication to confirm that you do technically own the trident, and show how special you are.

*other creatures can make a convincing copy of this painting with a DC 10 tool check.

Image credit: Unknown, but I'd love to know.

What I would say to you, Simeon, is that the health system should NEVER be underfunded or under resourced in the first place, that is all on YOU.

The only people to cross an ethical threshold are you and your colleagues.

Everyone who worked for him in AirNZ knows what a useless buffoon he is!
He had a whole floor of employees dedicated to wiping the internet & social media of his bad press.
He surrounded himself execut with yes-men/women & suck-ups. An absolute bully, wrapped in a fake Bible.

We just got chased up for a missing 2023 tax return for our son...he's in high school, but has some money in a trust from his Grandad's will. They put us through weeks of stress and threats of penalties only to find they owed *him* $7.32.
