After well over 20y in tech, trying to figure what to do about the looming civilisation collapse. It was not supposed to happen in the lifetime of my generation. Yet, here we are, it seems. #brussels, about to move back to #newzealand

They keep doing studies on UBI and the answer keeps coming back, “It’s more than worth it.” Stunned by this outcome conservatives say, “that can’t be right. Let’s do another study.” Rinse and repeat.

They are building a serious bunker at the Whitehouse. How do we slow this down? Lawsuits? Why don’t we see the plans for our house. The Whitehouse is the people’s house.

Wondering why Trump pardoned ex Honduran President Hernandez (jailed in the US in 2024 for 45 years for trafficking 400 TONS of cocaine)?
Here's your answer:
In March 2014, Reagan's former Pinochet liasion, Mark Klugmann, Peter Thiel & Austrian fascist Barbara Kolm were promoting this experiment👇

The Govt claims to be pro-market yet: $200m subsidy for oil exploration; Uncapped subsidies to decommission old oil fields; $1billion subsidy for LNG imports; Fonterra faces zero price for emissions under ETS. There is a pattern here. They are using the state to support and subsidise pollution.

NZ has so much hydropower already it would be straightforward to run the entire country on water, solar, windpower and EVs.

This ‘explainer’ article fails to explain that the changes are being driven by an ideology that insists NZ Post runs like a profit-making business instead of a public service.
