"It is now closed out. It's finished. We voted it down yesterday, and it's over, and we're moving forward." - Luxon “Cremated and buried”. - Potaka They lied. Despite over 90% of submitters opposed and massive divisions caused. The National led Govt continues to roll it out.

World so fucked even I FULLY agree with what the Pope said here in his first encyclical

Absolute bombshell. Pope Leo XIV drops a massive reality check on the global elite. He explicitly demands that artificial intelligence must be completely disarmed. He warns of terrifying autonomous weapons and algorithms designed to oppress the vulnerable.

Taxpayers Union must be needing more union members, really sharpening up their socialist messaging here 😉 Government’s don’t “reduce the cost of living.” They’re not god, and they don’t have enough data and information to outguess the market. The best intervention they can make is to ensure they don’t distort markets, so well-intentioned but dumb policies don’t increase the cost of living. Like Thomas Sowell said “economists are really good at creating shortages.” “If you want a shortage, economists can make one for you.” “If you want a shortage of lettuces for example, make a law that requires them to cost less than the market price. That will create shortages - and drive the price of lettuces up.”

We. Will. Not. Work. With. Labour.

Pope Leo XIV on AI: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”
