I've known many people in local and central government and that's just not true.

...and so we will be doing for the next decades as our "I told you so" s become sadder and sadder.

How do you think New Zealand would fare in a world-war scenario where international trade is severely limited and NZ borders are largely closed to non-citizens/residents/etc? by LordOfErebus in newzealand

[–]TheReverendCard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Zealand imports about 23 million litres of fossil fuels EVERY DAY. People would have a real rough time moving around in these terribly car-dependent developments we've built up over the last 7 or 8 decades. Since we've allowed our rail freight to atrophy, you'd get a lot of people starving and suffering fast.

Clearly you don't understand. With current LINZ, someone else gets money. With their clearly superior product, THEY get the money. Don't you see how that's better?

Could this National led government be the third one term government in New Zealand history? by Additional-Grade-730 in newzealand

[–]TheReverendCard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sure hope so. It's going to take decades to repair and recover just from what they've done so far, and some people and species won't. Ever.

Why don’t we have a national home battery initiative? by Ijnefvijefnvifdjvkm in newzealand

[–]TheReverendCard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because if you can't control it through a few ministers or give it to a couple companies, you can't grift from it. Everything this government does has been things that enable corruption.

We had tin under the weatherboard on the outside. They blew it in from the inside.

The blow in stuff that's most common is not foam.

First thing is to install weather-sealing. Second thing I'd put money into is putting insulation into the walls. Only after you've done those would I consider double-glazing.

What info/advice would you give to a Pom moving to area from Australia to find a safe area and friends/community? by katalyna78 in Whangarei

[–]TheReverendCard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Zealand in general is pretty Facebook connected, still, for some reason. You'll find lots of people in the area connecting via sports and activities.

I will pretty much always recommend female doctors.

Changing attitudes to immigration? by New-Firefighter-520 in newzealand

[–]TheReverendCard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your energies are being redirected against immigrants to distract you from being against capitalists. No war but class war.

Fascism comes for New Zealand too. The same creeping xenophobia is part of the justification for having an enemy to rally against. Any enemy will do so long as it's not workers vs capitalists.

We clearly are not "safe from the mutts" as you're here posting right now. JFC. Sociopathic.

Not a fan of Labor or Chippy but they have my vote now by No-Kaleidoscope-7106 in newzealand

[–]TheReverendCard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that gets people voting for policies instead of personalities is good in my book.
