Just received news that Maria Muchado was banned from standing against Maduro. She has thrown her support behind Edmundo Gonzalez and my friends from the city of Merida are now requesting my prayers for him. Found this BBC link. https://www.bbc.com/news/...
Maria Muchado is standing against Nicolas Maduro in the Venezuelan elections this weekend. She is a remarkable woman who has policies to get Venezuela back to where it was economically and socially before Chavez took control. Polls suggest the opposition ...
Newsom has endorsed VP Kamala Harris so will definitely be wating for the next election cycle
Wow I had no idea anyone could earn that much. He is a financial genius. I assumed he was short of cash after his Twitter purchase resulted in so many leaving the platform.
Elon Musk has committed 45m per month to elect Trump.
We keep getting into debates about what is racist and the equality of all NZ'ers. This will continue until we arrive at a definitive answer as a nation as to whether Maori ceded sovereignty - or not - according to the Treaty. Te Pati Maori and the Greens ...
Why don't we put some guns on the new cook strait ferries. Then we could take them out of the overcommitted transport budget and get them into the defence spending
If the bike business is struggling financially maybe she puts her own family needs ahead of her country or party and stays on as long as possible simply for the money.
Could she join the Maori Party?
I don't get why she should resign. It is alleged that her husbands business illegally hired staff and paid staff less than the minimum wage. So far there exist only allegations. The issue is yet to be tested in a court of law. Darleen says unfair and ...
It won't be easy for Starmer to pursue a moderate path with that majority. Like NZ Labour in 2020 with a similar once in a lifetime majority their activist supporters will be pushing for bold reforms. The biggest issue is housing, and like NZ Labour he has...
Biggest wedding in 200 years but the honeymoon will be disappointing. Like NZ Labour in 2020 Starmer will have a huge majority because the voters were desperate for change and their only option under FPP was Starmer. Who polled poorly right up to the ...
Just heard it reported by Barry Soper on ZB that developers would have to finance infrastructure if they choose to develop rural urban land. I imagine this would be like the new Milldale subdivision where house buyers pay a levy attached to their rates ...
Labour voters had the option to go left with Jeremy Corbyn or choose the neoliberal path with Starmer.
When the post debate polls come out next week Biden will be replaced if his support falls five percent or more. It's a pity Biden didn't get the nomination in 2016. He was a better candidate than Hillary. A friend in the US who is a lifelong Democrat ...
Replying to my own comment....coz I can.. Just the word SafePlus is interesting. It's like they're saying there is 'Safe' and then the 'Plus' indicates there is something beyond that 'Safe', something more than just 'Safe', something better than 'Safe', ...
"Several global warming models predict 1.5˚C of above pre-industrial temperatures by 2030, and +2˚C by 2050 " Have any global warming models been correct in their predictions up until now?
Plus even if all of the so called benefits actually happened (which they didn't and never do), would the dollar amount consumers from these 'benefits' plus the amout received from the sale be more than the value of the publicly owned assets which were sold...
"1984 arguably saw the first terrorist act on NZ soil. .." So what would you call the bombing of the Wanganui computer center in 1982? Or the 1975 intended bombing of the Indian consulate by the Ananda Marga group? Or the 2 Hare Krishna people who died ...
"The proposed new structure did not appear to include any nutrition or food safety roles." Hmmm, let's see.... Make sure the unprocessed food is good quality and includes protein, along with some fresh fruit and veges. Make sure that whoever is turning ...
The interest on the frozen assets is being used as collateral for the $50 billion in loans, they aren't just giving them the interest. If they just gave the interest (or the assets) to Ukraine that would be theft. Although I'm positive they will be ...
"And I remember a couple of articles from years back that Farmers paid less tax than a couple on a pension..." What do you mean by that? Are you talking about what percentage of their taxable income they are required to pay in income tax? Because obviously...
Yea.. which makes you wonder why it isn't a more widely grown and used crop, especially seeing as though it is easy to grow in our climate and has huge benefits just from growing it, before you even get around to harvesting, etc. Is it because the ...
Hahahaha... I love it when my expectations are met.. Thanks Princess! Even if I was completely incorrect in everything I had stated, sadly I wouldn't have learnt anything and certainly wouldn't have changed my viewpoints because I didn't read anything ...
worksafe has now introduced a whole new super duper framework called SafePlus, with it's own training courses, assessors, analysts, software, etc, etc, etc.. Does anyone not stop to think that this is just a huge revenue generating scam? Either that or the...
"ought to be publishing the evidence...." They would if any evidence existed..... "...foolish "common sense" knuckledragging..." (sigh)...
"The cones are a red herring, they are not the real problem..." Ummm, Yeah, of course not. The problem is the excessive rules and regulations which the lobbyists for PPE, Training course providers, Consultants, etc have convinced Governments to implement. ...
"...to every working man and woman in this country to have such a mind-blowingly ignorant..." Speak for yourself please. Myself and I'm certain a majority of working men and women understand what this is actually about. Health and safety requirements in ...
And the article you linked to is very misleading because it is talking about earners or those on high incomes. Remember. the very wealthy usually have very low incomes for income tax purposes. The huge report David Parker released 2 years ago showed that ...
"protecting minority rights rather than what some on the right see it as – our side won so we can do what we want." Really? So what minority rights used to exist but no longer do because this government has taken them away?
"It seems to me that our current tax system is working OK.." Really? When tax has to be paid on income from labour (40+ hrs hard work per week) but not on unearned income? ( capital gain on property for example) I'm confident that most people would fairly ...
