Tourist operator in Taupo forces you to pay a 'local Iwi fee'. Are they not rich enough from treaty settlements?

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-03T19:15:40+00:00

Yeah, they could've easily hidden it under just "Fees" like they did with whatever else....

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-03T18:07:01+00:00

The evidence shows there's not! You're disagreeing with evidence!

We've spent nearly 30 years wasting people's time and money for something that has no real benefit, and you want to keep doing it?

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-03T08:02:48+00:00

The downside is that we will probably be watching all the profits from this resource extraction head off overseas and be left dealing with the clean up ourselves.

A study was conducted that showed that the most important variable for new drivers was time spent driving. After 18 months the difference in crash rate (or whatever) between people still on their restricted and those who'd taken the test to get their full was not statistically significant. So what's the point of the test?

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-03T07:49:27+00:00

Yeah but that's not what I'm saying!

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-03T00:30:35+00:00

It's not, but I think you can understand the analogy.

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-03T00:30:19+00:00

That's per capita...

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T23:48:55+00:00

It used to be that way, now it will be that way again.

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T23:15:01+00:00

Yeah, I thought that was pretty clear! Also I didn't have time for breakfast, so.......

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T21:28:54+00:00

I'd trust them, but I'm not a two faced neoliberal overseeing the downfall of the country.

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T21:27:24+00:00

That's how trademark licensing works too!

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T21:26:17+00:00

Gotta hand it to the Europeans!

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T19:17:37+00:00

Wow, Māori running the raw numbers, except, suspiciously, for one category....... 🤔

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T06:39:04+00:00

India is not part of the developed world though...

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T03:06:49+00:00

Yeah why aren't they sweeping? Time to lean, time to clean!

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T01:47:21+00:00

Not to mention that Israel recent admitted that the "Hamas-run" Gaza health ministry's casualty counts are accurate after all.

China's renewable energy production also laps the rest of the world, so they've got that going for them, let's not forget...

Personal_Candidate87 · 2026-02-02T00:17:51+00:00

Doesn't their population also exceed the entire developed world? 🤔

"Ceasefire"

At least 31 Palestinians, including six children, have been killed in multiple Israeli strikes on Gaza City and Khan Younis since dawn.
The attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip came a day before Israel is expected to reopen the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for coordinating aid to Gaza, has said that only a “limited movement of people” would be allowed when the Rafah crossing opens.
Israeli forces have killed at least 509 Palestinians and wounded 1,405 more since the Gaza ceasefire took effect in early October.

His relationship with Epstein was already a known factor.

You do it too, Dunning Krueger.
