All I want for Xmas is the Aotearoa version of this
-Bust up monopolies
-Boost unions
-$20/hr fed minimum wage
-Ban Wall Street from buying homes
-Pass M4A
-Universal childcare
-Get rid of Trump’s tariffs
-Enact UBI
-Tax the rich
These are crucial steps to making America affordable again. Every Democrat must fight for this.

From Auckland University - Comment: Wellington’s contested central library is about to reopen – and it’s not trying to be frictionless and avoid the messy everyday work of being a public space.

An amazing NZ story of a consumer taking a int'l jeweler to a dispute tribunal after they claimed the "lifetime" guarantee on a wedding ring ought to be for 12 years, since the average NZ marriage lasts 14yrs with 2yrs of separation.

No, sorry, I mean, fucking Christ, how many nurses is that we could have kept in ANZ? How many radiologists/radiographers is it? Enough to clear the eight-month wait list for a basic CT?
As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
