“When we criticise the system, we’re not attacking individuals, we’re challenging the rules that let 3% hoard the wealth while everyone else gets squeezed. Often people overidentify with the system, they think an attack on the govt is an attack on them. It’s not. It’s a defence of the 97%”-RW

Luxons Government is waging war on kids.
They have replaced locally prepared nutritious food with centrally prepared inedible stodge that arrives late. 2.20 pm today for intermediate aged kids who finish at 2.50.
They have increased speed limits around schools.
Speed kills.

First day back teaching for the year.

It's lunchtime and the LUNCHES HAVE NOT ARRIVED.

Kids tell me this happened on Wednesday too.
So the kids are off to play until the lunches arrive.

Also, the kids want their Subway and (even the) Pita Pit back.

They don't like the new food.

Under Luxon, Willis, Seymour, and Peters NZ has become a 1st world country with 3rd World aspirations.

Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.

This morning I looked at the Herald, Stuff and Radio NZ to find news of the hostage swap in Palestine that was beginning as I went to bed last night. Nothing. Not a thing about that or anything wise about Palestine. What a disgrace.

The irony of Luxon and Willis wanting more international tourists while actively destroying the very thing tourists come to see - nature. Tourists don't come here to see polluted rivers and mining pits.

"It says it will publish and produce fewer stories, to focus on those that engage audience."

We know what "engages" audience and it's not sober, well-considered stories that explain what's happening in our world and hold power to account.
