Couple of branching thoughts before I move on.
As long as we continue to view management and leadership as about control and status laddering, rather delivering results and elevating those around us, we will continue to incentivise unsuitable and sometimes downright broken people to cling to power.

“May use up all the sun”
BREAKING: Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announces government investigation into “so-called solar energy,” including possible heath risks of “solar radiation” from solar panels and concerns that solar energy initiatives “may use up all of the sun, leaving us dark and cold.”

“May use up all the sun”
“The research shows that doctors who primarily rely on generative AI for decision-making face considerable skepticism from fellow clinicians, who correlate their use of AI with a lack of clinical skill and overall competence, resulting in a diminished perceived quality of patient care.”
Doctors who use AI viewed negatively by their peers, study shows
Hopkins researchers find that despite pressure on clinicians to be early adopters of AI, many face skepticism from peers for using it

Reduce crime, fix poverty first
Reduce traffic, fix public transport first
Improve employment, fix welfare and increase taxes
Increase productivity, make education free
Why do right wing govts do the opposite of what works? And they lie about it. So do “their” economists.

Struggling with the point of the Official Inflation Rate™️ (apparently 3%) when everything I need to live has inflated by far more.
The prices of things that New Zealanders can’t avoid is rising quickly, putting more stress on already overstretched budgets. Electricity prices are up 11.3%. Gas prices up 15%. Fruit and veg prices up 7.5%. Contents insurance up 9.3%. Going to the GP costs 10.3% more.

Damn, I read Judith's letter! I'll leave the politics to others, but, lord, the Govt spending stuff is REALLY BAD! I'll try and keep this short.
First up, this bare-faced lie. The countries in the pink circle have a similar-sized economy to NZ. Govt spending is a lot higher in all but one . [🧵 1/n]

New Zealand's electricity market is a total rort.
Households pay high prices so that big energy companies can increase profits.
We’re not in a cost of living or energy crisis at all. It’s actually a “markets gouging us blind while raking in massive profits” crisis.
