You know they aren’t going to do shit. They are just going to wait until one of the ships stops working and then give one of their funders a huge contract to provide the replacement until it gets fixed which will of course never happen.

I know your reflex is to spew hatred towards labour and blame them for everything but the problem is really with you and people like you.

The public is the blame for their opinions and actions. The fact is that the public actually supports and enjoys everything National is doing. They want to hurt the poor, they want to hurt the Maori, they want to hurt immigrants, they want privatised healthcare and education system.

The country is going to shit because the decent people have left the country. What remains are the dregs.

Disgusting habit. Stop pushing this nonsense on us.

Just to follow up with you.

So far the counterfeit pants have been holding up great. My genuine addidas pants have all suffered from pilling but this one hasn’t yet. Let’s see what happens in another month.

Google “starve the beast” strategy.

Isn’t you and I driving also important to the country’s economic activity? I drive to work, I drive to the stores. I drive to the gym and recreational activities. That’s all economic activity.

As I said I was surprised that the counterfeit was actually better than the original in many ways. It kind of sucks that we don’t have access to these goods readily in NZ. Why should I go buy a blank ugly pair of sweatpants from Kmart when I can buy a much. better looking one of same or similar quality one from another vendor?

I do actually like the branding which is why I bought the counterfeit pants. I think they look nicer than the run of the mill sweatpants.

Oddly enough adidas changed the styling on their pants this year and I like the new designs less than the old ones so this makes the counterfeit ones even more desirable.

I honestly don’t know who is dumb enough to believe they are going to be moving crowds over the water at 250km/h. That’s just bonkers. We can’t move cars and trains that fast FFS.

A typical turbo prop will cruise at around 400 km/h

Well maybe the investors are dumb enough.

Heresy!

Delete this abomination ASAP!

He actually said he is going to feed more kids better food by cutting the program.

I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that he says this shit or that the public buys it.

Don’t forget the poor.

Seymour doesn’t care what the public thinks or wants. He listens to his donors and the rich and of course American right wing political consultants.

I like how the government says it’s going to cut regulations and cut unnecessary staff but add reporting requirements to be handed to them daily.

Apparently having to file data every day isn’t a regulation.

Seymour is a dishonest prick so of course he would do the most dishonest thing possible.

If you look at prehistoric temperatures there was a time before humanity where the climate did massive swings up and down. Apparently there are some feedback effects which can cause these kinds of swings.

If this happens again it’s the end of not only humanity but probably most other animals and plants on the planet too.

Thank god we elected a right wing government who is going to roll back all efforts to combat climate change eh?

What an odd reply to my post.

Yes I probably do seem strange to racists. I am OK with that.

Oh, I am well aware that racism exists, but thanks for the patronising lecture.

I am not sure that you do. You gave no indications at all that you were aware that racism exists. Now that I know you are aware I am curious to know how much you think there is in the country and what if anything can or should be done about it.

My point was, a lot of people, particularly Maori, seem to define racism as being treated like any other ethnic group by the government.

That seems like a really racist thing to say. In fact that is a really racist thing to say. This is something somebody who is so racist and for whom racism is so baked into their brain they don’t even recognise it as racist. This has in your mind become some fact for some reason.

One issue wouldn’t make any difference. You really think this government is going to look at a protest of young people and liberals and Maori and change their course? This is mostly a message to the rest of the country that even though they are in the minority in this country there are lots of people who care about climate and environmental protection and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The message is not for the government or the majority of the people in this country who elected the government. We know they don’t want any of those things and they aren’t going to change their minds because a protest happened.
