David Seymour, End of Life Choice Bill
I'm glad Jacinda is the face of NZ's response, but I sure wish the response had been more and earlier.
The issue this year was that we have no vaccine and doctors were essentially treating in the dark, with no knowledge of which drugs were more effective than others. Not entirely true. We (the human race) have been testing vaccine candidates for lots of ...
Then it dies away like in China We don't know anything about what's happening in China, because the Chinese government is our source of information about what's happening in China.
Based on the best testing regime in the world (South Korea) the Wuhan coronavirus aka COVID-19 has a mortality rate of 0.6% among the general population. Old people higher. Source: Johns Hopkins
Luckily we did bail out Air NZ tho….right. Cause they are too big to fail. And the big tourist providers….Cause they too are too big to fail. Just wait for Rugby New Zealand to come with cap in hand. VITAL INDUSTRY, just you wait.
Awesome so when I go out of business and lay off all my staff next week we can all feel better because I can write off some interest on some tax payments in the next financial year. I see this as an absolute win
Warming: totally unchanged
Yes, housing is a human right. No, it isn't. Nobody has an obligation to provide me with a house.
I've tactically voted across the spectrum based on what I thought was important in each election year. At the last GE I party voted Green but I don't think of myself as a Greenie per se. Nevertheless I'm raising a glass to Jeanette right now. She walked ...
Sanders is radioactive in Florida and can't win there, which means he'd have to carry both Ohio and Michigan against Trump.
You're right, Grant Robertson looks bloody silly now
Inquiry into the Treasury’s Budget related Information Security Systems Finding summary: the 2019 Budget leak was 100% Treasury's fault.
I'd like to see some solid journalism covering some of this, people who have the time to read the 193 pages and put it in the context of COVID-19 and then translate that into useful, non-inflammatory information. Me too.
There weren't any bushfires in Hawai'i either.
Everything there is advice for travellers regarding something happening Somewhere Else. That information will be irrelevant when the virus gets here, and the information that we need to know about that eventuality is nowhere to be found. The government ...
A bit of situational awareness in the PM's office would not go astray. Someone having the professionalism to say "hey, it's looking like a pandemic with massive international and domestic impact and we haven't done anything to show we have a plan for it, ...
A total freebie served up to the Opposition. Global crisis, Jacinda's touring Pacific resorts again. Not a good look, and so easily avoided.
It's an election year. Therefore Winston has to attack the government. That he's part of it is entirely irrelevant. To give himself the best chance of controlling the next one, he has to destroy this one.
Because he is no fool in spite of all evidence to the contrary?
yes totally fake news media
Shocked to hear that having party leaders deliver speeches at Waitangi has become politicised, shocked I tell you
“I don’t trust NZ First and I don’t believe New Zealanders can either.” Bingo. National's election chances just got a LOT stronger.
Safe, efficient roads are fine Now look up the carbon emissions of construction concrete
I am disgusted. What a wasted opportunity. Building more roads is utterly the wrong thing to do if these clowns were serious about climate action. Another win for the dinosaurs. Young people will be well pissed off. Agreed 100%. So much for our nuclear ...
But what if you had a method of tilting them all one way, a totally deniable method like this? I kinda implied this but just in case I'll lay it on a bit thicker: Some of the most powerful manipulation the Russians did on Facebook during the Trump ...
Check this gallery of some of the Facebook posts made by totally organic 100% nonpolitical operations run by perfectly normal ordinary anonymous Americans, which two years of forensic digging and the hauling of Facebook execs before the US Senate finally ...
Add to your list:Noah Yuval Harari, "Sapiens".
That's not how this works. This is more likely: A couple of years ago a range of fan pages would have been set up covering a variety of topics with nothing in common other than that they were topical. Some examples I imagined in another post were fan pages...
Then I have no idea what your post about Muslims and brown people and fishing fans means
The strength of that final paragraph is self-evident
