This regime is awful in so many ways.

Is this because of the new drug-driving regulations where you can be fined for last week's smoke or your hay fever meds?

Lickspittle lackeys of US capitalism. I would go so far as to say some of them are probably moles for US, interests, not just sleepwalking dupes. I'm sure you can think of two or three who would fit that description.

Typo: appalled and disgusted

It's really simple now.

Are you okay with genocide and annihilation, or not?

There's no threat except from the USA in this particular situation.

This is all the Trump Admin, right now.

This is simple. Threatening to annihilate an entire country is evil.

You can't argue otherwise.

There is absolutely no excuse for this in our country. I'm beyond soaked and disgusted.

Their influence is wrecking Aotearoa New Zealand in an unbelievable cascade of punitive policies and environmental destruction.

From experience, cheap cast ironware has a tendency for the enamel to be too thin, and craze and chip over time.

This is the guy Kristi Noem said was injured and had to be taken to the hospital?

These people are pure evil. There can be no compassion for them when the reckoning comes.

Overnight temperatures were regularly under 10° right up until this week.

I'm in Southland. Lack of decent growing temperatures/hours this year of sunlight has made my garlic harvest very poor indeed. My soil is pretty good so I'd say it's just been too cold and wet

And the article only briefly mentions the most outrageous part- there’s no plans to hire the appropriate specialists in Wellington for the next 4-6 years

Surely the headline should read "after the Wellington service was deliberately collapsed"
Appalling neglect of women's health.

Are you a donor or a potential donee?

And I'm just finding out thanks to you!
What a great system, let's not forget that technology preparedness has not been a huge concern for this government.

This might be my major achievement of 2025. The biggest fail is accidentally adopting a second cat.

This is in a New Zealand context

There have been various ideas floated about recreating them but any attempt would probably be really, really awful.

I'm not sure, but I think at that time there was an English Act of Parliament in force in Britain that made that illegal there. Marrying your deceased wife's sister, that is.

That's appalling! Blerrgh.

It's made such a difference to our lives, particularly with TV volume 😂

I hope so

P.S. check that the clinic will donate the old rather than reselling or discarding. Otherwise direct donation is best. Donees need to find a clinic that is ethical- one big chain was going to charge 10x as much for unneccessary "factory checks and cleaning" as our local clinic.

😂😂😂

Sadly, facts will not turn people who have willingly let their brains be co-opted by disinformation. Quiet, non-confrontational conversations with trusted friends will.

I hope they will offer it to renters as well - renters pay their rates just like anyone else.

About six months ago, my partner got the best gift of his life - our friend's old hearing aids. It cost under $100 to get them reset and refitted at the local hearing clinic. If you have upgraded, you can do no better thing than donate your old aids to a friend or a clinic.

It should be a huge scandal; it's unbelievable that one industry should be allowed to get away with this.

It's almost time for "the holidays are at the wrong time" articles again - prompted by the blistering February days after everyone comes back from a rained-out January holiday.
Walls is a Capitalist lackey.
