@julie4butte5 @Joe_Trinder @KellyLMcCarty I don't think the cap is working.

@Joe_Trinder @KellyLMcCarty I worked at the COVID shot clinics. THAT IS A CAP.

I got my 6th Covid vaccine today, the batshit crazy conspiracy theorists have told me it’s a gene therapy 😂 that will turn me into one of the Lizard people 🦎. They demand I use invermectin that is actually a horse dewormer 🐎 from a Veterinarian. Still waiting for the vaccine apocalypse when Bill Gates is going to send me windows updates through 5G cell towers hope I don’t crash on the way home. 😂 I have chosen to believe in the general consensus of medical experts, Doctors and ignore right wing MAGA propaganda that the vaccine is more deadlier than covid because that type of thinking is irrational and outright crazy. Love vaccines ❤️

@alexanderswift @DanielBleakley @jolauder Honestly this is becoming a wall of text, but I can go on & on. My utilities integrates with my Tesla charger (not all chargers are supported), and handles off-peak charging for me. They give me $10 a month to do this. The car knows my calendar, and plots nav automatically.

@alexanderswift @DanielBleakley @jolauder And really, just the QOL features it has. No service required, integration with Tesla Solar, Powerwall and Supercharging network. 360° dashcam, with the ability to view at any time on the app. As well as the ability to summon the car (which I do sometimes at work).

"I can do my entire work commute for like five to 10 bucks a week … it's ridiculously cheap." "I'm basically saving, between petrol and servicing, $5,500 to $6,000 a year," Fantastic story here from @jolauder abc.net.au/news/2024-03-1…

@FrancisYou94661 @DanielBleakley @jolauder This is how much it costs me to charge in a month, this is actually a bit more than I would usually charge as well.

@DanielBleakley @jolauder He is telling fibs. It would cost more than that to charge his car

@FairiMairi @1NewsNZ The higher tobacco taxes were designed to get people off cigarettes. And so was the ban. Removing the ban, reducing the taxes, increases revenue for both the government and tobacco companies, because more people would likely buy them. All these things can exist at the same time.

@1NewsNZ So MSM lied with their stories on the Smoke Free legislation being ditched to pay for the "tax cuts" 🤥

Three year tax freeze for cigarettes in NZ First minister's plans 1news.co.nz/2024/01/25/tax…

@MossmanSimon @0_loki_0 @NapierinFrame The OECD publishes this, but yeah, it's the reason why other developed countries have better infrastructure than NZ does. Besides the whole issue of small population spread out over the size of the UK+

@0_loki_0 @NapierinFrame Really ? How do you know this

"...Finance Minister Nicola Willis said the government books were in a worse state than expected...." Budget deficit lower than forecast, Treasury figures show rnz.co.nz/news/business/…

@SayingItOK @OfMalakai @kiwigolfrentals The process of, a multi-billion dollar pseudo-government doing what it can freely do, protected by a Permanent Security Council vote and 11 fleet carriers? What authority, grounds, or even power do you have to tell them what to do? NZ can't even respect judicial precedent.

@FilmFlic @OfMalakai @kiwigolfrentals That may “mean” (whatever that means) to you but what you’re failing to acknowledge is that the OFFICIAL name is New Zealand, until is OFFICIALLY changed to something else. Proper process needs to be respected & followed.

Meri Kirihemete to all in Aotearoa, except for the racists that believe Christmas wishes are the domain of the English language.

@OfMalakai @kiwigolfrentals @SayingItOK Not exactly an official document, but when a company that has higher revenue than the NZ government recognises it, it means something.

@kiwigolfrentals @SayingItOK Can you point to the document that officially makes “aotearoa” an official name of this country?

@Hayden461805541 @nzlabour It would be, since there's not a single one that's ever made a profit. But if you think it's a good idea. Grab some investors and make some money.

@FilmFlic @nzlabour Wouldn’t be money wasted if it was a nuclear power plant

The economy has turned a corner with confirmation out today that shows New Zealand was never in a recession, and growth was stronger than expected in the June quarter. The economy is now 7.7 percent bigger than at the start of the pandemic. The latest figures show our economic plan is working. We know this doesn’t change the reality on the ground for lots of New Zealanders doing it tough. But we’re building a stronger economy that works for everyone, and supports our families and businesses in good times and bad.

@Mrtommyricker @Hayden461805541 @nzlabour Ahhh, nice, shadowbanned.

@Hayden461805541 @nzlabour That's not really that much. That's about the value of a large company. Or one large nuclear power plant.

@nzlabour We’re 100 billion in debt

@Bluebird262626 @KeepingMum It's almost as if trying to combat inflation and cutting all spending has consequences for economic growth. Right now, we're dependent on overseas markets to stimulate the economy.

@KeepingMum “The International Monetary Fund, in its latest Regional Economic Outlook, predicts that next year the New Zealand economy will have the second-lowest growth of the 159 nations it surveys, with the only worse country being Equatorial Guinea.” Your response Dita?

My God this is tiresome rhectoric. Have we left the 1980s yet?

@joey_nz @tatsie1973 @nzlabour Old wind turbines can be recycled. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Etc, etc. Or you can just buy the newer recyclable blades in the first place. But even then, it's still easier just to dump them, which is what most will do without regulation.

@tatsie1973 @nzlabour Yep, in the US they are piling them into landfills, as they can't easily be disposed of. Where are we going to bury ours? bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Fast-tracked wind farms? We're big fans.

@EastCoastNan @tatsie1973 @nzlabour At least, China has far, far more renewables capacity under construction and planned than nuclear. And you want to be taking a leaf from the Russians? We might as well buy their military equipment as well. colorado.edu/cas/2022/04/12…

@tatsie1973 @nzlabour Seems Russia n china have them

@TechnoToeRag @tatsie1973 @nzlabour Find out how many are ready commercially as well.

@tatsie1973 @nzlabour I'll check it out!
