Red 2.2.1
Yep in principal on the approach, not so much the spin and politics of it all , the team of 5m thing ( vomit inducing) , canonisation of certain individuals, smugness of nz in contrasting other countries without realising how much advantage we have to most other nations, releasing not so complementary reports on health sector performance very late and after the election, attempts to make this a left and right issue Apart from that on board
Drowsy M. Kram 2.2.1.1
Red, what makes you think that there s a (general?) lack of realisation of the advantages (
e.g. remote island, delayed risk of exposure, small well-educated population, competent leaders and dedicated public health workers focussed on protecting the health of citizens) that NZ has wrt this global pandemic?
In the past week a relative and a neighbour of 5 years need to look for a new rental, they both recieve supported living payment. Just over 4 years ago when my landlord sold I had to leave the property. It was hard enough back then in the private market, now it has become out of reach for people who even earn the minimum wage.
The out lay to move into another property is expensive, 2 weeks rent, 4 weeks bond, removal of furniture, transference of the internet and power.
I had a mother on my street last year give away her furniture because it was too expensive to transport furniture to another region.
Yesterday we had the unseemly sight of a landleech threatening to keep his houses empty in response to better tenancy laws. Meanwhile in Catalonia they have a solution for that: nationalisation
Then it went on a big cull. closing down 70,000 accounts world wide associated with Qanon.
There were some local consequences. Democracymum had her account shut down as did Red Baiter. Former ACT candidate Stephen Berry lost his ability to tweet and neofascist Damien De Ment will tweet no more.
Vinney Eastwood, aka @Guerillamedia is also gone. I have met him and had dealings with him. To be frank he was rather crazy. The Agenda 21 conspiracy stuff is a bridge too far. Agenda 21 was an attempt to make a more sustainable world, not an attempt to subject us to mass slavery. He may have 50,000 youtube subscribers but there are more than 50,000 crazy people in or near New Zealand.
