Back in the 60's and 70's oil and the trucking lobby came for rail and the government rolled over and took it. Government bought in rolling stock that were only able to travel at half the speed of the engines. The result was that trucks looked faster. A ...
Poor service is the problem. Trains are all good, but they need to run decent train schedules. Almost like some mongrel is sabotaging the service from within.
How are we all feeling about the new normal? https://twitter.com/wxkaitlin/status/1575188234010705920?
That's gorgeous!
"Overall, there have been 60 prohibitions on the Ukrainian language in the 337 years that Ukraine was under foreign rule. They aimed to eradicate the Ukrainian language by inhibiting or prohibiting its use in education, official use, and the print. Most of...
Who would benefit the most? Who would this hurt the most (benefit their enemies)?
Yeah I get that. Some people love being first in though. And the promise of reduced prices in these trying times, pretty attractive... Or (Satire) a damning indictment of DOC's park upkeep, that people would rather go camping in shop doorways. Costco ...
I think having Costco here is a good thing for many reasons. If we're to let corporations take over we could do a lot worse, like Amazon. "Costco is often cited as one of the world’s most ethical companies. It has been called a “testimony to ethical ...
I made a (frugal but sufficient) living from comedy in NZ - at least till I got sick of comedians.
Actually, if some people weren't complete shits the rest of us wouldn't have to 'learn hard lessons' at all. We could use our energy, not to deflect the advances of attention whores and simpleton shits, but to get on with the important stuff - like saving ...

Fuck off you and your clown shoes. I called you out when you, by name several times, tried drag me into your pathetic charade. You utter fuckwit. [lprent: Less of that, please. While that is how I often think of you, I really don't think that it adds ...
Here's an interesting take on this: Which 50 000 has to go? If it's supply and demand issues, then we must get rid of the useless from the workforce, not the actual workers who produce the supply! Anything else would be madness. We know who is essential ...
Can you link to where that figure came from? Sounds excessive...
I played the ball she replies with a bunch of personal pleas like one of those email ads trying to sell us a course for a motivational speaker. It may go on and on but I'm done with that speaker on that topic. Also, you might have noticed - I short-ban ...
You may ask of me nothing you ridiculous fake.
Yeah I saw this. These economists and their banking buddies are worse than useless, they're detrimental to society. The plan here is to make many people poor so they can't afford to participate in society. This will in turn reduce demand for goods so ...
What a ridiculous comparison.
Council rules on privet. Ermmm. My house backs on to an entire forest of Ligustrum lucidum on council land - in mid city. Slowly it's being thinned and the natives under it, given the light gaps, are thriving. Other weeds have needed more constant control ...
Last time I removed an exotic (not counting this time turning privet into a food forest) it was a large sweetgum with heart-rot. It endangered my greenhouse and neighbours house so it had to go. I used the logs to make garden surrounds, to landscape slopes...
Don't tell me we'll soon be bereft of articles about "Sad Corgies Attend Funeral" or "Eight Legged Surprise Mourner" only to replace such utter journalistic gems with: "I blew 2000 sailors and brought a house, so what's stopping you" and "We put our ...
These fools clearly don't know what they're doing or talking about. Experts that fuck economies at whim, but are really children in charge of a speeding locomotive - they have no idea of what lever does what. Except of course stealing all the least well ...
Now you're bringing up Snowden, War On Terror and Iraq? Fuck off you clown.
Doesn't make sense, again. Nobody's overlooking double standards here, we know who the US is and you know that we know. You lack facility for nuance despite saying your point is about balance. Sitting here in safe wee NZ you can make all sorts of claims ...
Alliteration for the day. NZ media - The trotting out of Tory twats tearfully traumatised over trivia.
You're all over the place. What are you blazing because it's clearly stronger than what I'm blazing. You've gone from Hunter Biden (the ammo of MAGA fruitloops) to terrorism laws to incarceration rates to assassination rates. What's the point you are ...
"Do your research" - is this your angle now? FFS, again.
'Hunter Biden' 'The black hand of America has guided Ukraine' So the genocidal campaign aka Special Military Retreat is justified because Hunter Biden... FFS there's not even an ounce of sense there.
Russian Angst? You mean Russian excuses. Pointing at US as an excuse for Putins behavior in Europe is weak and tired. We know the US need to pull their head in. We've all known, will continue to know... it doesn't change the long and ever accumulating list...
Banned leaf-blowers - clearly my soul mate lives in Cali. Soon they'll be raking it in (sorry, but the puns, along with the climate, will only get worse).
