@LewSOS Having Dunedin in the rearview mirror will make it worth it.

Spare a thought for my sister, who drove down to Dunedin when fuel was $2.50 and now has to drive back

@Mitch17472831 @614clinton Sometimes too well.

@614clinton Morticians get along well with their customers.

Anyone know of a good job for someone who hates people?

The chaos at airports could end today but there is one person singlehandedly blocking the effort to get paychecks to TSA: Donald Trump. He refuses to accept a deal and would rather leave Americans standing in lines for hours.

GOP Senator Kennedy admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown: "He said said 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said 'No deal.'"

@saltyreigns Once again, Trump claiming victory for undoing the cockup he started in the 1st place. The wellbeing of the world hinges on the social media whims and rantings of a madman.

Anyone saying this is a retreat and cowardly in my view just wants to watch the world burn. I’m not in that camp and am grateful for any glimmer of hope- the world Is at the cusp of darkness and I’ll take any little win at this point.

Trump has now responded to Iran's statement denying "productive discussions" to end the Iran War, with Iran stating that Trump, in fact, punked out and is issuing false statements in order to buy time. NOW Trump says he HOPES the US and Iran will "meet soon and settle this," and plans to "give them a call." This after his initial claims that he had already worked out a peace deal with the Iranian government. You can NOT make this up. What a time to be alive.

In 40 minutes, Donald said: the Strait of Hormuz isn't closed, but he wants it reopened; we’re not at war with Iran, but our allies are cowards for not helping; he wants a ceasefire, but he doesn’t want one. He also declared victory three times. Such clarity. Such leadership.

@Infideliter2022 Should use that money to subsidise public transport and make our fuel supplies last longer.

Can one of you superiorly more intelligent than me numbers wizz tell us how much more GST per week the govt is raking in with the hiking fuel prices please? Churr👍

@arashneza @sharghzadeh Doesn't matter where he is from. The post is correct and well reasoned. Apparently you have nothing.

@sharghzadeh You’re in NY. Did Mamdani ask you to post this? Pathetic 🤡

That 48 hours Tweet was such a massive strategic error. He’s backed himself into a corner now. What an unforced error. Can’t they have two layers of screening before he tweets? Just take away his phone entirely.

@RetiredTXVet @sharghzadeh Lame take.

@sharghzadeh Why do you live in the US? Why not show your bravery and go fight with the IRGC?

@ausbtcclub Is it jacked, black with really wide wheels, obscenely loud and gouts black smoke like the majority of Hiluxes in NZ?

A month ago I was filling the Hilux for $208 with long range tank. Today i filled it for $422... That's almost 32% of the average weekly wage.

@ZealandEarly Banana caramel is very sweet. Literally bores holes into your teeth as you eat it.

Got the essentials. Haven't bought a newspaper for a while.

@Pete20221 Metvuw.com does a far better job of predicting what the systems coming down from the north will do.

Less than 24 hrs ago NZ Metservice didn't predict any rain for Northland until Thurs/Fri. So what do we have this morning, rain. You cannot plan anything, & living rurally, you need to. They are absolutely fucking hopeless.🤬

@KlendathuCap To be determined by the whims of an unstable lunatic.

The next few days will determine how deep the incoming economic contraction will be.

@ShishKebab2k It's garbage. Give me a nubbly whole grain any day.

Lads how good is white bread

The President of the United States learned that Robert Mueller had died. And he picked up his phone and typed: “Good. I’m glad he’s dead.” I need you to stop. Put down whatever you’re doing and feel the full weight of those words. Good. I’m glad he’s dead. Said by the man who holds the most powerful office in the history of human civilization. The office of Washington. Of Lincoln. Of Roosevelt standing in the rubble of Pearl Harbor promising a nation trembling in the dark that we would rise. That office. Those words. Now let me tell you who Robert Mueller was. He did not have to go to Vietnam. He had every reason not to. A Princeton degree. A blown-out knee. A future waiting for him in the comfort of civilian life. He waited a full year for that knee to heal, just so he could serve. Let that sink in. He walked into hell when other men were running from it. He came home with a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart soaked in the blood of his sacrifice. He spent the next four decades standing in the breach, as a prosecutor, as FBI Director, as the man who held this nation together in the smoldering ash of September 12th, 2001, when we were all afraid and we needed someone steady, someone serious, someone who loved this country more than he loved himself. He was all of those things. He was a Republican. He was, by every honest measure, an American hero. And the President danced on his grave.

Robert Mueller is dead. And the President of the United States has announced that he is, quote, glad. Now. I want you to sit with something for a moment. Jeffrey Epstein, the man who ran an international child sex trafficking operation for the entertainment of the ultra-wealthy, looked at Donald Trump and wrote the following words to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in 2017: “I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body.” The man who ran the pervert express to crime island looked at Trump and thought: that bloke is worse than me. And today, that same Donald Trump looked at the death of a decorated Vietnam veteran and former FBI director and typed “Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” Then signed his name to it. Then posted it. Publicly. At 1:26 in the afternoon. There are war criminals who’ve managed more dignity at a press conference. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@saltyreigns Hate those things.

Also some vomiting

@TaxpayersUnion Higher prices will make people think more about making non-essential trips and help with informal rationing. Cutting the price of public transport would be a win-win.

@Julie_nzkiwi What's new? Why do you think they consistently make billions a year in profit?

All the fuel companies are screwing us over.
