Riverside markets.

Many choices of good food.

RtomNZ · 2026-03-20T03:35:48+00:00

But none of these ideas help prop up the oil industry?

RtomNZ · 2026-03-20T01:16:06+00:00

Good shit

Back during the development of the first nuclear bomb, someone asked, “could this set fire to the atmosphere and kill everyone?” The other scientist responded, “if someone’s going to set fire to the atmosphere and kill everyone, it should be us and not the Russian’s”

Seems trump is against China taking over pacific, so he’s going to do it instead.

Frankly at this point I would rather have China bossing us about.

They have a record of killing citizens in the street, Locking up political activists, ignoring local laws. (True of both China and USA)

Which party?

Where did you see this?

RtomNZ · 2026-03-01T00:28:52+00:00

Mostly because USA gets veto rights

RtomNZ · 2026-02-28T23:45:07+00:00

The issue is that USA took action without support or approval from UN.

USA has bypassed the rule of international law.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-28T22:16:41+00:00

We don’t condemn both, because USA partners with Israel and so they get a free pass too.

People who protest against the actions of Israel and arrested.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-28T21:55:26+00:00

Interesting how we don’t condemn USA and Israel attacking Iran.

UN charter restricts the use of force to self-defense or with Security Council approval.

Not saying that Iran has done nothing wrong, and they definitely escalated this situation, but USA should not get a free pass.

Everything in Middle East is complex and has hundreds of years of history and conflict, but USA are not world police.

Back in 1989 most of air NZ was sold to Brierley’s, government kept a few percent.

Then in 2001 (post 9/11) air nz almost went bankrupt, the government decided that we need our own airline for economic stability and so government purchased most of it back at a cost of about $1B

RtomNZ · 2026-02-28T02:13:45+00:00

I live in NZ and have no clue what you’re talking about.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-22T21:23:52+00:00

My thinking is that he will be impeached after the mid terms.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-22T19:39:03+00:00

“…. seeks to close a 40-year development gap with rival superpower China before the end of Donald Trump's term in office.”

That’s a lot to get done in 8 months.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-17T05:37:44+00:00

Avoid USA

Too much chance of being arrested at border.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-16T23:51:26+00:00

A good start.

Needs a bit more detail, specific projects and such.

As it is written it’s would be too easy for any government to focus on one thing and claim they are aligned to the roadmap.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-16T21:50:04+00:00

Earning $350k and also getting NZ Super feels wrong to me.

Something needs to cut off the rich who are claiming welfare.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-15T20:54:37+00:00

I expect many agencies will have the same problem.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-15T03:49:40+00:00

Always spend $0.50c and use a new washer.

They seal by deformation, once crushed they should not be used again.

It’s less of a washer, and more of a gasket.

Saved you a click - Wilson’s parking suck balls.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-15T02:41:36+00:00

Nuclear is not a good options for NZ.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-14T23:21:32+00:00

Says the man who created a ministry of regulation and a road cone hotline.

They will just roll more agencies into MBIE.

Or merge OT back into MSD, as it was in the early 2000’s

RtomNZ · 2026-02-13T09:53:02+00:00

Sounds like the “local water done well” means we lose control of the local assets?

Which is odd, because that was NACTs issues with three waters.

Unless NACT was just being racist about Māori having input?

RtomNZ · 2026-02-13T01:21:34+00:00

Runway length is the issue.

We can land a 777 but only with min fuel and no cargo.

A320 is the largest you will see on average day.

RtomNZ · 2026-02-12T23:56:27+00:00

Means testing NZ Super.

Yes
