A bit of a Greenie in Lower Hutt - who wants a better world for his kids.
Seriously, it's time to #TaxWealthNotWork - otherwise we'll lose everything.

I do. And I wonder what we would think of the Romans if they used and abused plastic like we do...

Doing what? They wanna give AI a free pass, and the purpose of AI in the capitalist economy is to remove labour cost from the economic equation. Maybe The Matrix is prophecy...?

It looks like those of us who consciously use lower fuel consumption cars are being penalised, while guzzlers essentially get a discount? This appears as not an carbon emissions aware policy...

"...political actors (outside of, and in between electoral cycles) who derive power not from institutional position or policy expertise but /from their ability to manufacture and sustain emotional engagement around *constructed* grievances/."

It's all a fabrication to gain Power. But... then what?

And that's the thing. The excesses of the last 50 years are so gross, so obscene, that our actions matter very little now.

The reckoning is coming upon those who will've had near nothing to do with its cause. It's a likely, unspoken, contributor to the rising mental ill health of our youngsters...

Thanks for highlighting the now inevitable, apocalyptic, balancing to come. I am conflicted about giving a ♥️ - cos it's just so sad and pathetic what us H.s.sapiens have been knowingly doing/allowing these last few decades - as if it ain't no biggie (to us, not so much; to our descendants ... 🥵👻)

I'm my select committee submission in this agreement, I commented that it felt like it had been drawn up in a different age - due to this govt's indifference to climate action compared to the last govt.

So.... is Russia still not yet at war with 'the West'? I mean, what do they have to do???

Isn't it fascinating: each year 2019-23 was a consistent 'up' on the previous until mid '23. Then there was the election, and the new govt baked in a consistent 'down' - is this the 'growth' they're always harping on about: growth in the downwards direction...?

The second one.

So dismally sad. But ... no, sad.
