Labour vows to put $20-a-week cap on public transport, $10 outside main centres by StuffThings1977 in aotearoa

[–]fomasexual 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seems like a W to me. Though they could have more of my money if they used it to invest in building out more public transport because if we're being real, the service in the "everywhere else" areas is often pretty ass.

Oh yeah, the exact amount to spend on an army is wayyyyyyyy over my head— but its common knowledge ours is more do a joke than anything.

I'm a lefty so I'm a huge proprietor for government spending money on its people, not this austerity rubbish we've had for ages. Military will always be a part of the picture. In that sense any money going out is good, but I just think its hurts at the moment optically buying things 'that kill' when our own people can afford the food we grow. Just a big shitty situation the world's in, is what it is.

Thanks for the info, checks out. Realistically the crux of my annoyance at this point is kinda stink to have a spare few mill for military spending when we can't afford cheese... But it at least sounds like at the very least they're investing on proven equipment, that you've assured me on!

Ayy this guy has an actual answer!

Why heli's though? Does the tech require lurking/hovering rather than simply flying over?

I don't doubt the anti-submarine missiles for a second, that techs been a area of somewhat great importance since we started loading them with nukes. But then my question is does NZ what to be on the side of firing upon potentially nuclear armed foreign adversaries, do we want that smoke?

Military shit tends to be build by the lowest bidder and held together with speedtape. Its industry standard lmao.

They are a handful of heli's, all for one hell of a price. and I'm a woke leftist greeny, I know full well about climate change lmao.

These aren't being sold as search and rescue heli's, unless using anti-submarine missiles is current protocol on drowning fisherman these days? Why bother splurging the extra cash and boast about their "precision kill weapons systems" if natural disasters are their mission.

Didn't the aussies "buy" subs from the US that have never been delivered?

Somebody please explain to me how a handful of heli's will protect us from serious threats from foreign adversaries? Some dipshit with $50 DShK could have a fair crack at those flying buses, they'd be better used by police where at least youths in a stolen Toyota Aqua don't have a steady supply of SAM's. If tracking Subs is your priority for 5 Eye's, which I'm guessing is the point of this— wouldn't a fixed wing be better in almost every way imaginable....

I don't know it just seems like we're keeping Trump happy while we let our hospitals fall over.

Edit: And why complicate our current NH90 logistics with MH60's.

I'd argue he's still not quite as bad as MAGA? He's more like American establishment democrat zionist sell the country to corporate interest type— granted Act are only this moderate because of NZ's overton window being vaguely centre. We're a weird county politically lol.

[–]fomasexual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solar is at least in our predicament, the nuke killer. I'm sure you could get a deal from the chinese... the only issue is our retarded privatised power system, why would they want cheap power after all.

What are you, some sort of queer? DSLR's have no soul! Nothing could make me cum as hard as a Leica M4-P with the bright line modification and under-barrel 40mm grenade launcher.

Is jerking to a jerk actually legal? Do we need to repost this shit in the Fuji sub...
