The solo writing credit on One Battle After Another should have been "Written by Paul Thomas Anderson, based on Vineland by Thomas Pynchon". It wasn't that divorced the novel. All the main characters and the plot are the same, just shifted from 60s radical hunted in the 80s to 2000s > Trumpland

Some groups, from the EMA to 2degrees to Consumer NZ, have been pushing for a breakup of the Big Four gentailers - but all (including Meridian, up nearly 4% - a big move when you're worth $15b) saw their shares rise after the Govt's announcement this morning
