I posted “i am the first man in my bloodline to jack off in an Arby’s” on facebook and my uncle replied “not true.”

Imagine a world where hard work is rewarded, truth and justice prevail in courtrooms, the government doesn’t steal your labor by debasing the currency, bureaucrats aren’t captured by corporations, and our taxes go toward critical infrastructure instead of wars overseas.

This moron is my Mayor and not only have my rates increased over 25% (we live rural with no services) but he got his cronies to blanket model our entire area a flood zone (even though we've never been remotely flooded in 20 years). Now we can't get insurance Thanks Wayne you cunt

Attention @MikeJBouchard @oaklandsheriff Free speech is non negotiable. The Second Amendment protects the First Amendment and we will not be told what memes are allowed by some government bootlicker. Fuck off and enjoy your time in the limelight.

I loaned my 1971 Lincoln to a highschool as a teaching aid. They were learning classic restoration on it. Look at the miracle they pulled off:

@GovPressOffice You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud. People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them.

@brainbootcamp @maddireidy My preference would be to abolish the state. I’m more thinking that of all the things a govt could be “useful” for, providing some energy security might be one that’s higher value than a lot of other bullshit they do

@slow_bogan @maddireidy It used to be owned by the taxpayers until it was privatised. What you're arguing for is essentially corparate socialism after that event.

I've covered the shutdown of New Zealand's last oil refinery since it was proposed in 2020. I was at the annual shareholder meeting when they approved the shutdown decision, was on site at Marsden Point on its last day of oil refining operations, spoke to workers in their homes as they came to terms with losing their jobs and was the first to film the decommissioned refinery in 2024. Here's some facts: - The asset is owned by a listed company, it is not a majority Government-owned asset. Screenshot of largest shareholders in the comments. - The decision to shutdown the refinery and turn the site into a storage terminal was a commercial call made by the company and its shareholders because gross refining margins were under pressure, exacerbated by the pandemic, and the outlook for fuel demand was weakening. It was not a uniquely New Zealand problem; it followed the closure of other refineries in Australia. - The refinery has been decommissioned. The site is fenced off. - The CEO Rob Buchanan told me in 2024 that it would cost billions to restart refining operations and doing so would be a complex infrastructure project. Will post the findings of an independent review assessing the cost of recommissioning in the comments. - The company was called Refining NZ but changed its name to Channel Infrastructure once it became a storage-only import terminal. I'm going back tomorrow. Let me know what you want me to film/ask the CEO.

@RubberGetsLiqd Step one: abolish the state

i wish car manufacturers would bring older models back. change absolutely nothing, just make them brand new

Well, no more X app on mobile. It no longer will let me login from a @GrapheneOS device due to the attestation nonsense. @nikitabier might as well blame you since everyone on here does 😁 but let me tell you, even though I'm a monetized creator and user for 14 years, I will choose my privacy over using X if it comes to it. Privacy is a human right.

@maddireidy Given taxpayers funded Marsden Point's build & upgrades, shouldn't governments (all parties) have kept a golden share, strategic override, or binding fuel-security clause on privatisation, instead of full private control that lets shareholders decommission for commercial reasons?

@maddireidy What’s the point of having a government at all it doesn’t ensure we have critical national infrastructure in place?
