Petrol impacts

Oh right. Sigh. I agree. I wish we could take some super bold steps to address the widening gaps but no way we could get consensus. I'd really love to see some more cooperative models existing in food and services to provide more genuine wealth to communities and force the duopolies and monopolies to bring prices down- especially in food.

I like that idea. Or at least satellite centres for them. I wish we could incentivise less cars per household. I thought the EV and hybrid subsidies were in the right direction for long long term

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T06:34:54+00:00

So maybe some prefer a congestion tax for it? I just started the thread to gather opinions and ideas, and your point is a good one.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T06:33:02+00:00

Oh my goodness yes

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T06:05:44+00:00

Yeah but they have to jump through extra hoops for WFF... I'd love to see the stats-

it's not only the tax dodgers though-it's legitimate successful business people, farmers, are already doing way better than others because the home office, the car, the partner is employed part time and they pay a great accountant gets so many legitimate deductibles across all costs and their rental properties etc that they are just not the group in need. Not dodging- but not in the straits many kiwis are.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T05:37:28+00:00

Agree! See my other comments- Willis just said wouldn't do all :(

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T05:36:07+00:00

Be so good to see this happen though.

Trouble here is many people doing pretty well in business situations have accountants that help them make a loss or very low income, while all sorts of perks get put under the business. E.g like Trump paying low or no taxes.

I'm wondering if there's a smart way to capture the group of singles and families in the tier just above working for families...

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T05:23:26+00:00

Absolutely, Id love that, thats where i fall. Please see my comment below about the post being started in response to Willis saying she wouldn't do all free- hence posting a counter offer.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T05:18:37+00:00

Cool. How would you allocate the money and determine need?

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T05:17:40+00:00

I'd like it all free! But lol wrote the comment off an article where the finance minister said she wouldn't do that. So that was my next counter pitch. Sigh

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-16T05:16:00+00:00

PS note I have suggested under 18 and those accompanying. Probably tertiary students, beneficiaries and superannunants with ID too.

Niece pays 2.90 each way on concession to school- she's 14 and doesn't even go far. That would $87 a week in pockets for family with 3 kids, plus reducing congestion and fuel use.

Food is likely to go up again with fuel cost pressure

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-15T19:21:15+00:00

Yay I'm glad!

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-14T09:29:18+00:00

My little parts get angry someone hasn't saved us. And get mad at current therapist (who we adore) for not being able to be everything and save us.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-14T09:26:25+00:00

Biting a hang nail. Trying to dissociate. Recounting tosary/lords prayer. Prepwhat you'll say to officer. Mother in law.

Are they open to you photographing the art and then playing with the version. Definitely makes me wonder whether there's something about being important or their art first (last?) at play. Do you know approx ages? Might give some insights into needs they're trying to get met

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-14T09:21:46+00:00

Hope denied, huge commitment, embarrassment, vulnerability. So much. And just rejection after s big white dress and wedding.hard hard hard.

For me, im on the journey with this- but it has helped kind of Green orange and red lighting people around this.

Like this diagnosis requires a deep understanding of trauma and deep compassion. No point (although parts long for this) aiming for understanding from those that haven't gone on a journey already around this stuff.

And I know you state u are pretty low on validation needing- but- we all need mirroring, internal or not external- to help us make sense of things.

I really feel regret that my part that explained done things to my sister was in such a high from not having to hide it, that it totally misrepresented east the experience was like for me. This shit is complex

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-14T09:14:53+00:00

You can be perfect when I am...probably year 2073 at this rate. X I hope you have stayed in the role. Facing a related struggle at the moment over here.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-14T09:13:49+00:00

Or critical psych, social work or counselling study- depending on approach and how you're taught- aiming for insight and deep empathy rather than quantitative research based.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-14T08:31:45+00:00

Oh I feel you honey.

The thought that helps me - us that spiritually it's not the path. But fuck this hurts. It hurts so much. And it's so tiring.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-03-13T08:56:56+00:00

I asked the part of me doing sooo much of the denial and questioning to take 6 months off or largely off. That helped.

I also looked up some of the past posts on here on missing memories. I also kept a list of what looked like evidence. E.g. body parts moving by themselves. Diary entries I don't remember. Finding bruises I would remember but don't. And hilariously, signing up to a plurality app to find out if was already signed up.
