These days mainly I do DIY and chase dogs. I also run a tiny gym with the best view in Aotearoa. Also an academic. Father to a disabled kid so I do the advocacy thing as well. Psychoanalysis; Lacan; MMT.
The entire thing is a complete clusterfuck.

Im pretty confident they’ve had their calculators out furiously calculating the impact on the rental portfolio. A few tears fuelling the panic.

I don't understand no. 3, and with no. 4 I think someone should tell them that tax *is* actually levied on gains from savings and most other kinds of investment, including KiwiSaver. I feel like they need to know this to save further embarrassment.

Worth a look at actual weekly earnings. Note that lower quartile earnings have been well below inflation for months. This is the plan: run unemployment high, subjugate workers, go bene-bashing in the media, force people into shit, precarious jobs working for your donors. (Ends)
