We can expect labour productivity data this week. The ghouls will be shrieking.. Sadly they don't understand that the data is simply telling them that recessions push profits down and suppress wages... productivity is basically profits+wages / hours worked. Public sector productivity ~hourly wage!

Yes-he is in Govt now & could have put his energy into creating a public-service NZ-owned supermarket “fresh-food” chain where farmers & growers could sell to NZers without Aussie profit-stealing middlemen & longlife chemicals, sprays & preservatives in our food! #nzpol #Winston❌ #PartyVoteGreen✅

Checkout time: NZ First wants to break up Pak'n Save and New World Winston Peters unveiled his party’s supermarkets policies on Sunday, which also involved giving the Commerce Commission greater powers.

How many times announcements will Govt Ministers need to make before actually doing something? Why do we only hear of the supermarket duopoly and cost of living crisis as we get near elections? It affects the rest of us all the time...

Not campaigning to create the state owned not-for-profit nation wide supermarket chain that is the obvious solution and what we all need.
It's all bullshit anyway.
People being sucked in by it should be ashamed of themselves and switch their bullshit detectors back on.💩

You've got to love NZ Firsts believe that kiwis have the memory of goldfish. Today they have

- committed to do something about the Supermarket duopoly when they get into Govt

- complaining about Govt spending - when they were in Govt

I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...

The state of solar: Despite partisan rhetoric, the industry is still booming Solar power is cheap, fast, and in demand as data centers consume more and more electricity.

Even now, even in the US, despite partisan rhetoric, and oil industry misinformation — the solar industry is booming.

You have to wonder how much less we would need to fund eg defence if we ’followed the money’ and got serious with tackling extreme wealth. Seriously checking the sources that buy up expensive properties and barring companies/individuals who use tax havens/crypto from govt roles and contracts

This is so true and it rages me that it has worked for so long.

Listen to any UK “talk radio” show and it’s rinse and repeat: immigrants, potholes, NHS, policing and trans rights, what is even worse, is that they’re talking points are so easily argued against they would struggle in a school debate

I’m certain that future generations will come to be taught the philosophies of George Monbiot

In an excessively privatised world with huge rent and debt burdens and constrained union power it's been left to pensioners without bosses to protest on behalf of the rest of us.

…and the robots running AI.

A fundamental
problem with the current Labour government is that they still support neoliberal ideas, preventing them from challenging the oligarchs and their promoters.

And we should be terrified of whatever their plans are for AI.

Never understood why the term ‘whistle blowers’ is viewed negatively.
Shouldn’t we always point out wrong doing?

The mainstream media is basically Billionaires and their paid shills trying to convince you that brown people are robbing you rather than, it being the the billionaires who are actually robbing you.

The oligarchic class has always operated through a process I call monstrification: they and their minions (who today include mainstream media) tell stories about how certain individuals and groups pose an existential threat, and tell everyone and these are the people to blame for everything.
