When all legal options are exhausted, and there are no legal means of impomposing monetary consequences for those who only understand Money and refuse to accept the consequences of their greed.... How then are we to stop the machine that's killing the planet?
The state of data protection in this age is absolutely horrifying. We know that our data is extremely valuable to these huge companies. And yet there's no duty of care or consequences for not properly protecting it.
I love how out of four reports, the editor here choose to title their article on the only one that focuses on the Māori people.
It couldn't be more obvious that the decision was made to obfuscate, detract and distract from the larger message from these reports: Most of us are totally fucked and the super wealthy are as always insulated from the worst of the forthcoming.
Bet this gets lots of engagement on Facebook and Reddit, with the meaning totally going over everyones heads.
Companies by their own nature are profit seeking above everything else, so I trust them to do anything in their power to deliver profits to the shareholders. I don't trust them not to rape the oceans to death.
Things like bottom trawling are a bit fucked... It's literally scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to our fish stocks.
Weird when experts say we can give fishing areas less than a decade of rest and they can bounce back provided they aren't totally destroyed... But fish stock preservation isn't in the companies interests.
The cynic in me says it's because these apartments aren't being designed for Traditional Western needs, They're aimed for the most common "New" New Zealander who is from East Asia- Just set up your Gas cooker and you'll be right. Do your dishes and bathing out of a Plastic bowl.
Don't complain, Kiwis have it so good remember, We have toilets and water we can ~~mostly ~~drink straight from the tap.
The area i'm in is now a "Transitional Housing Zone" and the old 1/4 Acre blocks are being brought up by developers and having the Single Family Home demolished and they're whacking up 12 hideous shoebox style Apartments.
This means driving down our dollar to make our products attractive on the international market.
On the flip side it makes any products that we import more expensive.
So we sacrifice the well-being of the many, to make numbers go up for the exporters.
Don't get me wrong, I know that primary industrys support many businesses and people down the chain. But when everybody is paying more for materials, products, consumables, the benefits are eaten up by the increased costs.
Nz First makes me so tired, they're like a glimpse into the future of vibes based politicking A+B testing whatever rage generating issue they can get the population to think they care about whilst backhandedly contributing to the Great Grift.
I used to hang with a few of them a decade ago, they really love playing the game but if you think for one second that they genuinely care about anything other than their Ministerial perks and access to power you're as nuts as a Herald News Facebook comments section.
I'm working through it. Well, Sunday/Monday anyhow, Going to take that time and a half+ a day in lieu and cash it in when it really gets cold and I need to spend a day in bed with the Mrs.
My first Winter season in the South, Looking forward to it.
Sucks for sure.
How many households are one working income away from default on their mortgage I wonder? Od last about three weeks.
I reckon we'd add 50-100k people without the "working for families"(tax money to landlords) initiative.
I reckon we need more angry people with nothing to lose before the changes we desperately need will happen.

Good on em.

I know so many stoners that were pissed that the referendum failed... Did they vote? Nah. Too stoned.
Lmao.
Very easy?
It was recently made harder.
Looking forward to see the numbers next election tbh.

Reduce access to education, eliminate the media standards. This can only go well....
They've touted an 'export driven recovery'

Wake up sheeple.

Best memories of my childhood were camping out in the wild with my family.
Cheers Dave, how was your day?
Agreed, but seems like a typical article to keep folks arguing with each other whilst the great grift continues.
I got banned permanently of reddit for quoting someone else, absolutely bizarre.
Now it seems I'm IP Banned for trying to circumvent the ban?
Then I realised I really can't be arsed changing my IP or browser to be apart of a site that's becoming increasingly ruled by an Automatic Robot Mod.
