Good on you! Love the title

Thanks

Epicurean Dairy Limited, producer of The Collective brand dairy products, was fined NZ$483,000 in 2019 for failing to report 190 positive environmental Listeria results between 2012 and 2016.

Broken Nation: New Zealand’s “let it rip” gamble left it poorer, sicker, and divided, a global cautionary tale of unchecked COVID-19.

Daily Chaos: Schools barely function as illness disrupts learning. Fear keeps public spaces empty. Long COVID cripples thousands.

Social Fabric Torn: Trust in government is gone. Streets are full of protests, division, and resentment. “Team of Five Million” is dead.

Skyrocketing Deaths: Tens of thousands dead, with Māori and Pasifika communities hit hardest. Funeral homes struggle to keep up.

Economy in Freefall: Tourism gone, businesses shut, labor shortages rise. Inflation and unemployment hit record highs.
