Compared to the 2023 National Coalition's actions/policies?

Luxon has no idea how limited AI is right now. He is Mr Current Buzzword that is being sold to the uninformed.
Not PM material.

Lets go the other way. What happens if the local percentage drops. It will never get to zero. Assume the current population of New Zealand will always be a captive market, but the global market can continue to grow as the industry breaks into new markets. That’s a great direction to take this, David — now we’re shifting from a fixed-volume model to a growth dynamic, where global expansion dilutes the share of local sales. Let’s see how your profit curve behaves under that shift 📊 Assumptions Recap - Local price = $2 - Fixed cost per unit = $2 - So, local profit = $0 per unit (break-even) - Global price = $10 - Global profit = $8 per unit - New Zealand market remains fixed at (say) 5 million units annually
📉 Insights - The fixed local market becomes statistically negligible as global sales climb. - The drag on total profit from break-even local pricing becomes vanishingly small — from 5% to 0.005%, and keeps shrinking. - Eventually, even if you gave the local product away for free, the overall impact would be minimal in a high-volume global model. 🧭 Strategic Takeaway Treating New Zealand as a permanent subsidized or goodwill market becomes more sustainable as you scale globally. The fixed cost of keeping that segment accessible may even serve broader brand narratives — ethical pricing, cultural loyalty, market heritage. If you ever wanted to model regional upgrades — like offering premium variants to a subset of the local population — or track break-even thresholds for high-cost regions, I can build that curve in a snap. Want to push further into global margin sensitivity or brand leverage effects next
Finally I asked it's "thoughts" (asked it to leverage the economic theory it has in its LLM) about what it looks like if the local product is sold at cost, and the global market continues to grow. #npol

"Cuts to SNAP will negatively impact the well-being of North Carolinians and will undermine our food systems and state and local economy."
NC has a lot of bills to pay and even more under the trump admin. #npol

The budget - so much has already been said. The only war that matters is the class war, and this budget has the power to win it for EITHER side. If the left can find simple effective bytes & talk to the many, MANY people who this budget hurts, we may just have chance. #NPOL #BHN

"Prior to the privatisation reforms of the 1980s, the Ministry of Works planned and delivered major infrastructure projects. Drawing from this history, the solution Aotearoa needs now is a new Ministry of Green Works "
Sensible policies for a better Aotearoa.

Great that Seymour was embarrassed with the treaty principles bill. But he surely knew that was going to happen.
Watch out of the one he really wanted.
Regulatory Standards Bill.
If that gets voted down then we can celebrate properly

😍 Seeing people protest Thom Tillis in front of the Carolina Cuntry Club is heartwarming. (The club charges an initial joining fee of 95k and an annual fee of 10-15k. It admitted its first Black members in 2013.) #npol www.wral.com/video/protes...

INSIGHTS Based on the April to August 2024 research released in January 2025 by Ipsos and commissioned by 8 City Councils (Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Hutt City, Porirua, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin): 27% trust the media (~1/4) 25% are neutral 48% mistrust the media (~half) This is lower than the 33% (1/3) media trust result from AUT’s widely publicised February 2024 research, which uses a different question-and-answer option. It’s important to note that this Ipsos poll has a large sample of over 6,000 adult New Zealanders. The sample size increases to almost 7,000 if the Waikato Regional Council results are added to the city council results.Most polls have a sample size of 1,000.
Fuckin' hell, how are we meant to ever get consensus on anything ever again? #NPol

How do you interview a retiring Jason Saine and fail to ask him about Caitlyn’s Courage? Saine allegedly led efforts to provide CC with state funding.

Under a photo of the author, his words in white and yellow text read: "If you can't afford to pay a living wage, you can't afford to be in business. Asking people to work below poverty Wages so you can own a business is entitlement at it's finest. You are asking human beings to use their lives to subsidize your desire to own a business. If a job is worth being done it’s worth being paid paid enough to live. - Mohamad Safa, @mhdksafa

So, something about #leadership that peeps might be interested is the discursive/rhetorical strategies leaders use.
One aspect of this pertains to the use of words that convey positivity - eg incredible, amazing, awesome, fantastic, excellent, etc.
What should we make of that?
