It's beginning to be clear to me that he was a bit of a visionary and perhaps even a genius of a fellow/male human. <br />He knew that we must all stick together to survive, flourish, evolve thus to party. He bloody knew that. Because when we don't/won't/can't/should've but didn't/could've but decided not to/ was distracted by T.V's tits, arse, booze, dick, balls, flash pap, shiny trinkets or Hiss-spit-Vroom! mating units, i.e. cars, dopy games of trying to ram ones head up another fellows arse of a cold winter evening, of Opera, of film, of books, of music. We read and write and love and hate and forgive and cry and die alone no matter how many people we're surrounded by tut tutting. We humans aye? What a strange pack of fuckers we are. Clearly, we must be protected from ourselves and who better to do that than each other? We must watch out for each other. No matter what fucking colour we are. Jesus ! What if I was stripes instead of spots? What hilarious racist would take that on? <br />Drunk Yob: " Ya fuckin' stripy fucker! Go home to.... where the fuck DO you come from man? Well, where ever, go home to there. Then. An' stuff... Fuck it. Wanna beer? <br />I can see how that'd work. <br />The problem is,we're being preyed upon by Monsters. Crafty little fuckers they are too. They dress funny, i.e to deceive, they talk funny, i.e to deceive, the have pretences of being loftier, more thinky-thinky i.e to deceive and what do they do...? They deceive us. <br />Everyday in every way, they deceive us with logical fallacies, hyper-normalised lies and do you know what we do? We.Work.Harder.For.Them. For their pleasures and for their advantages. <br />Without unions and public services and amenities, any job, any raise in a minimum wage is just going to go back to them fuckers. <br />Where is our stuff and things? Then boot out the Banksters That's what we should be demanding and doing. None of the flouncing-ninny, hand wringing, soft speak, easy does it shit. No more speak as if anaesthetised. No more bend over backwards until you can look up your own bum stuff. They’re just laughing at you, and frankly, who can blame them? countryboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906800965006947285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-84189868694329715682018-01-03T07:35:56.299+13:002018-01-03T07:35:56.299+13:00'... to feed her baby ...'

If the economy doesn't support the welfare requirements , and the government focuses on" fiscal responsibility" i.e. austerity, she will probably be correct. And in respect of jobs being what are needed she is correct. both for the well-being of the country and the individuals concerned. The first Labour government had it right, full employment should be the first priority of government.<br /> Man does not live by bread alone.<br />D J SDavid Stonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-23776130043153706582018-01-01T15:35:42.023+13:002018-01-01T15:35:42.023+13:00@ 'Polly'. My God. Someone has to tell you...@ 'Polly'. My God. Someone has to tell you. Your linear thinking ignorance is face reddening. And I warn you. This is the last time I'm going to be charitable with regard to your suspiciously, right wing, Troll - like opinions. <br /><br />@ Chris Trotter, you write...<br /> "...but, equally, the politically untarnished, Jacinda Ardern. It was a decision which did several important things at once. First, it permitted Ardern to demonstrate her exceptional political talent. " <br />I always worry when I read of 'exceptional political talent'. The way I interpret that is that' exceptional talent' is designed to deceive and manipulate for all things but for the interests of [us]. Us people who pay our politicians to act in our best interests and in our best interests only. Homeless people or people forced to be devious through desperation is not in our best interests. What 'Polly' fails to comprehend, perhaps due to a lack of dry gunpowder under his/her hat, is that we're all in this together. All of us. When a rich person walks past a homeless person, they should be stricken by sadness and motivated by a desire to help. The homeless person will feel shame, guilt and will have a sense of having lost.There's no dragging one's self up from that, usually. There needs to be a non judgemental state-funded helping hand. Otherwise? Terrible societal damage is done which reverberates through many generations perhaps for ever. In our current, hideous society we're now simply two species of human. Those who lose, and those who win. The winners are financially rich, the losers are not, BUT, and this is where it gets creepy, the winners NEED the losers to prove thier point. To feel elevated and higher up the bell curve, the sick, survival of the fittest, mental aberration that some screw ball, sociopaths thinks is the answer, and while on that subject, one must always pray that one is to never be marooned on a desert island with that lot. They will kill you and eat you then blame you for being too delicious. ( TDB/Bradbury/Kittens/Jonky. ) <br /><br />Metiria Turei should have been welcomed by adern as her deputy. <br />She was not, I don't need to point out. <br />peters was.

Government spending can be stimulatory or it can suck money out of the economy. Putting money in the hands of poor people stimulates the economy because they spend it immediately. Putting money in the hands of rich people does not since they may just bank it, spend it on overseas holidays, invest it outside the New Zealand economy (or put it into NZ real estate which is currently abosorbing a lot of the nation's wealth).<br /><br />It's a lot more complicated that Tax = bad, taxcuts = good, but thanks for your contribution to the debate :-) Aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-77948915101390841722017-12-31T22:04:40.023+13:002017-12-31T22:04:40.023+13:00A good summation of that amazing few months.
