Yes, come join us in the rest of the world - where the service is mediocre and the minimum wage is marginally above absolute poverty

Kind of a lot like slavery really, we taught them it and then got snooty when they didn’t give it up as quickly as us. That’s why we Brits are so universally beloved across the world!!

Just for those of us who have been asking if the National party or the Labour party will work with the The Opportunities Party party.
It hasn't.
The party's new name is Opportunity.
No "The". Essentially no "Party".

This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. I have a very particular set of works. Works that make ye mighty despair. Works that make me a nightmare for travelers like you. If you put my trunk back on my legs of stone, that'll be the end of it. But if you don't, I will find you, and I will kill you."
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look upon my works, which were processed in a facility that also processes peanuts.

Why have they made it so clear that the party name stands for Tired Of Politics. ?
Labor's Capital gains tax is weak and will not lower housing costs nor stem the tide of land speculation. They have opted for a policy that exempts primary residences and farms rather than make the case for what is actually needed: real tax reform to give hope to the younger generation.

Status quo
