It’s hard not to believe that Luxon’s move to dump regional councils isn’t just another way to remove obstacles to rampant corporate profit making at our expense.

The question of asset sales seens to arise three or four years after tax cuts.
2010: tax cuts
2014: partial asset sale of powercos & AirNZ
2024: tax cuts
2026/27: asset sales? (If Nats win next year)
The reason is blindingly obvious: tax cuts means less tax revenue.Nats have to make up shortfall.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Between Sliwa and Brad Lander probably the best thing you can do as a public figure right now (even if you’re odious! like Curtis!) is lose gracefully being exactly who you are. People are desperate for dignity to make a comeback and they’ll reward you later.

Love how National proudly opposed the Treaty Principles Bill, and wore it like a badge of honour.
Then basically rolled it out anyways. They’re dismantling and removing anything that honours the treaty, and undermining Māori.
Without consultation too like yesterday.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
