If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

We said yesterday that we're cutting the cost of gas guzzlers for kiwi battlers on struggle street.
Our Mitsubishi ASX example costs $1,600/yr in fuel more to run than an EV. When we shift all cars to RUC it'll be $1,900/yr more.

We already have the technology to slow (& ideally reverse) climate change. We don’t need to sit around with our fingers crossed waiting for the tech bros. We just NEED TO DO IT. Electrify everything. Build already-consented solar & wind renewable farms. Stop subsidising fossil fuel. No more coal.
