Nothing winds me up more than Luxon and assorted other suits saying we need to be wealthier before we can afford doctors, nurses, water we can swim in etc. Meanwhile wealthier kiwi households have stacked up huge piles of savings (cash, shares, equity etc). The economy works for the few. [🧵 1/n]

Norway is a leader in EV uptake but it wasn’t a fluke, it was good leadership with a vision.
New Zealand could have done the same or better, but we got Luxon.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

We’ve paid rent for over 270 households so far in February and we currently have a waitlist that totals over $30,000.
We distributed rents one by one.
We can’t even think about March rent yet.

Now, if you were CEO of a crumbling, disaster-prone, and increasingly miserable NZ, looking at our balance sheets, what would you do? Ween us off imported oil to balance trade? Invest more and save less? Or, would you encourage people to save more and businesses to go into debt?!? Lol. [Ends]

Oh, it's huge. Biggest in the OECD. Now, before you get too doom-laden, remember that liabilities are not just simple bank debts, they also include shares. Also worth noting that NZ companies have a lot of land on their balance sheets, so the value of their shares/equity reflects that. [5/n]

Now our financial position has to balance of course. So, if households are mega-rich, the Rest of the World has a net claim on us, and Govt has a positive financial worth, what gives? Ah, that will be our business sector. Net financial liabilities of around 350% of GDP. How big is that? [4/n]

As a country we are in debt to the rest of the world of course - that's what happens when you run 50 years of trade deficits. Remember: we balance trade deficits by 'exporting' (selling) NZ assets (bonds, NZ company shares, equity, houses in Queenstown etc). [3/n]

It gets worse. While (a few) households save up the megabucks, Government does the same! The NZ Govt is not in debt according to any sensible measure. So, Govt and wealthy households stack up savings while our infra falls apart, kids go hungry, teeth go rotten, etc. Make it make sense. [2/n]

But the US has been much more forthcoming, admitting we are in talks and moving towards agreement. My article today.
