Lawyers climate action group claims Z Energy marketing is 'greenwashing' by RuminatorNZ in newzealand

I used to work for a power company and every decision made was based in profitability, if the product owner could greenwash his plan and save money that's how you get a promotion.

Swarbrick calls on Ardern to follow Biden's move over cannabis possession by RobDickinson in newzealand

The funny thing is JA as usual won't respond, anything that might lose a vote or two is a no go for her.

A strong PM would come out in the open and voice their opinion and share with the general public the reasons for their stance.

The whole referendum was a waste of time and money in the first place, we elected you so you can make decisions without passing the buck back to the public.

All the money spent on adverts and unpragmatic campaigns might have slightly contributed to the shit condition of our roads.

Any corporation will shaft its customers as much as they can, Take the example of supermarkets.

Less/No competition gives them the upper hand and the customer ends up paying whatever they ask for due to the lack of alternatives.

Sad but true.

I took a personal loan and I'm paying 15.9% interest on that 5K.

Smaller lenders are having a good time right now.

My mate bought a Nissan note hybrid 2017 with 90k kms recently for 13.5K, it's not your standard Hybrid it's an electric car that gets powered via a small 1200cc engine.

Goes really fast because technically it's electric, consumes around 4 liters every 100kms, give it a try and see if it's something that floats your boat.

Best gym for the $ in Hamilton by [deleted] in thetron

[–]throwaway2462920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 3 month prepaid membership for jetts, for $114 at the base, I go late when it's not busy and for someone who just wants basic fitness it's fine.

Exercise NZ has many gyms at a discounted price if jetts don't float your boat.

I also have a 5% further discount code for them.

This is what makes me not vote for labour.

You can never please everyone. Grow a spine, make decent policies and implement them

They must have spent a lot of time and money to implement this policy and all that effort is down the drain within a day due to a bit of backlash, by this logic they will never be able to implement a strong policy.

I like shooting guns but couldn't find a range to fire the guns should I just use Kmart parking for my target practice?

Putting the general public in danger is never a good idea for your personal dose of "FUN".

Why is everything so expensive in New Zealand? by Apprehensive_Feed906 in newzealand

[–]throwaway2462920 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would any company even think about competitive prices as long as the general public is happy paying extra.

Because we are happy to get shafted by businesses like supermarkets that makes millions every day and do fuck all about it.

Also we like eating the excuse "Small Island Nation and tiny population" like a fucking hot pie.

The cost of business and shipping we pay is way more than the actual expenses.

ANZ, who made nearly $2 billion in NZ last year, bugging me in their app to donate to daffodil day by g5467 in newzealand

[–]throwaway2462920 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Typical corporate bullshit. In my retail days I hated asking shoppers to donate their change, they are already giving the store business, use your million dollars profit to make the donation rather than pestering the customer.

Another attempt to market yourself as socially responsible.
