Oh I don't disagree with you at all. Just adding how misleading their chosen moniker is, on top of how they're being sanitised by the media.

Great thread about the lies we were told about #COVID , and that in many cases, we're still being told.
Why the lies? Simple; the economy can handle you dying. It can't handle you not working.
We're no longer people, we're just fragments of economy that need to be managed.

Not a single thing we were told about #COVID turned out to be correct. A long thread š§µ

They're not just picking solutions that won't benefit the population, they're intentionally picking the actively harmful options that increase climate impacts and cost of living, as well as sabotaging future resilience.
They're not merely incompetent, they're evil.

They've already said we value lives far too highly. Clearly a student who isn't even generating tax revenue yet doesn't measure up at all to several seconds of time saved every day by a busy executive driving their SUV/tank at 50 instead of 40.

Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...
Why not spend $2.7b on solar & batteries instead?

"Well you see, if we assume LNG as always and forever staying at the lowest price it has been in the last 5 years, and then assume that solar panels will be at the highest price they've been in the last decade, then... wait it still doesn't add up. Lemme find some different numbers."

You know why. Because then us plebs at the bottom of the food chain would benefit, not the corporates who are his mates and on whose boards of directors he expects to retire after his current hobby of destroying the country's future wraps up.

Strategically hooking our energy dependence to the most unreliable partner in the world, using energy sources that are rapidly running out.
The bribe they got for making this happen must be significant.

It takes every problem of building a datacenter on earth, fixes none of them, and adds 20 more. And the media can't praise him hard enough for it.

Oh Luxon, you're the one who should apologise, to us. Trump is a racist (among other things). He's always been one. You don't get to act aggrieved. We should never be involved with his type of hatemonger in the first place, and that's entirely your fault.

Luxon said it was right that the post, which depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as primates, had been taken down.

The media should cover this only minimally. There's a process, follow it, report the outcome "Mass murderer's appeal denied" on a footnote somewhere, and that's that. But clicks = dollars so they will parade this tripe around for months I'm sure.
