if your position is that people on jobseeker support are lazy bums why would you want them in the labour market. wouldn't you consider it an investment in productivity to keep them out of the hair of people who "actually want" to work

CEOs love "yes" and it's why they're useless politicians.

you can see it in Luxon's stammer and beet-red face every time an interviewer pushes him even a little bit that years of being surrounded by yes-men have left him completely unequipped to be challenged in any way

anyone ever get the feeling that the reason it floods every time it rains is because we tore out all the dense native bush and replaced it with concrete for cars and barren fields for making milk powder

@fraggle it's only right given I know it isn't 100% original anyway

@Bwee hey can you hope the same thing for my bank account

they say autistic people take things literally but they're thinking of kleptomaniacs

It blows my mind that noise pollution isn't front and centre in the transit discussion. A diesel bus coming every minute would still make our streets quieter if it means displacing a bunch of cars.

Like have you spent any time near a road? Why the fuck do we allow these noisy things through the places we rest and sleep?
