There is so much inertia in the banking market, people hardly ever switch. We tried to shift to Kiwibank way back and they made it too hard so we didn't. But we don't hear nearly enough from politicians about this IMO.

The five biggest banks in NZ are set to collectively gouge almost $10 billion profit out of Kiwis this financial year. They all do the same thing. They all offer the same service. Why don’t we just have one nationalised bank? This is so fucking stupid.

At this point we just have to accept that we're a feeder country for Australia.
For context, four Aussie banks took approximately $6.5 billion out of the Aotearoa economy in the last year or so

The majority of which was gleaned from mortgages on family homes

The economy is improving? Sweety, it's tanking, sinking, shitting itself sideways, and you're a big part of the reason
'Really insulting': Can ANZ really claim its record profit is due to economy improving?

This is unsurprising
If you read the terms of the package it’s a bunch of highly improbable goals Tesla could not reach in a reasonable time frame so this is literally just a “special boy wants attention” deal. Elon wants the press to report on it to “trigger” libs and look cool to his little rube followers
BREAKING: Tesla shareholders just approved a pay package for Elon Musk that’s worth up to $1 trillion.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I am BEGGING the studios to pivot to Bluesky so entertainment journalists and critics can stop using Twitter as part of our jobs. My Predator: Badlands reaction post is bringing out nothing but misogynistic nazis.

We went from flat html pages of nice info, to modern pages that do 30s of "spinner" animation everytime you click something.

So much of my life spent watching stupid spinners.

Absolute scenes at Caltex Upper Hutt this morning after they accidentally put a "1" at the front of their advertised discounted fuel price instead of a "2". People lining up thinking they're getting gas for $1.49 a litre.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.
