Funny, the mafia also operates as an interlinked organisation designed to generate profit through extortion, is not held accountable by officials, and also makes billions of dollars each year 🤔
Experts forecast Meridian, Contact, Mercury and Genesis will report a combined operating profit of about $1.86 billion for the six months to the end of December ‒ an increase of about 45% on the same period last year.

It’s supposed to be where you started playing but it only includes NSW and Queensland, so taxpayers are paying for a game no Kiwi player can play in.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

The NZ government canning the $6bn disaster resilience fund, Three Waters and social development is a return to "Nobody is coming to help you". The international move away from governance as something that materially benefits communities. Austerity measures. A wider return to "sucks to be you".
