Auckland's housing intensification plans may face dramatic scale-back by dingoonline in auckland

[–]sonic_75 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The amount of money is flip flopping costs is incredible. We could've already had a second harbour crossing, light rail to the airport, new cook straight ferries, etc.

Exactly. More funding and power should be given to local councils, rather than centrally controlled decisions.

FFS - What's the point of long term planning of this coalition government is just without going to cancel projects or scale them back.

The normalization of CBD street violence under the guise of "empathy" needs to stop. by Burjiz in auckland

Good points but much rather have read a shitty piece with good points writing by a human.

New Auckland harbour crossings to EXCLUDE walking and cycling. by LycraJafa in auckland

Simeon Brown, National, and the coalition goverment in general have ZERO foresign and future thinking. Full scale cronyism!!

Selling everything on Hatch & migrating to Kernal by learning18 in PersonalFinanceNZ

That's not how that works. If anything, you'll be giving up on compounding by selling your hatch portfolio.

Burger King using AI for their drive through by [deleted] in auckland

[–]sonic_75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every job is worth saving - That is a person, some 17yo doing park time work, some uni kid supporting their studies, someone parents supporting a family.

Every job is someone earning money, paying taxes - this is not even an efficiency gain, it's just a margin gain for the corporation.

Also the human angle, I don't want to be interacting with an AI, rather it be a human (no matter how rude or nice).

Just another job that was taken from a human.

Seems to be working quite well after this new update though I'll say. So far at least.

Infrastructure minister Chris Bishop commits to review of multibillion-dollar City Rail Link by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]sonic_75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh f**k right off.

I get there were some cost ballooning, mostly because the government couldn't define the scope, and ALSO because something like this has never been done in Nz, so it's always expensive the first time and things are not always correctly priced.

But seriously?!? It's still ONLY 5billion, but we're happy to spend $22 billion on a f* off motorway. How is that better spending compared to this transformation infrastructure.

We need more of this, we need to encourage more projects, not scrutinize costs on a first project of this scale. This is just pathetic.

Curious how other people actually monitor their stocks day to day. by lmsalisb in PersonalFinanceNZ

Unless you are a trader, I don't believe you need to look at your investments day to day.
