How does privatisation work, and who does it work for?
First billionaires give bribes to politicians, called donations
Then politicians say we need to privatise to 'save' money
Then they sell to the billionaires for peanuts and get kickbacks
Then they privatise something else

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.
Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.
They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.

I'm about halfway through ENSHITTIFICATION and just marvelling at how great Cory Doctorow at just explaining complicated things in a legible and accessible way. If I were a high school civics teacher it would be one of the books on the reading list.

Weasel words Luxon wittering on, blaming Labour for the fall in vaccination rates. No, Klutz, the decline is due to the rise of anti-vaxxers, actively encouraged by NZFirst, your party and ACT, in your quest for power no matter the cost.

Funny* isn't that the Media complain about the 15% payrise for Train Drivers over 3 years, or the 22% payrise for Doctors over 3 years.
But they ignore the 76% payrise for CEO's over the last 5 years, or the 38% payrise for Bankers in 1 year.

Dang. They need to retroactively address that 2-2.4% increase that slipped through then, for, uh, MPs? newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/13/c...
Ministers set to take big pay rises, right after wiping 33 pay equity claims
In July, taxpayer funds will top up MPs' pay by $669,100, despite the tight fiscal environment that's led to some big Budget trade-offs.
