finance videos are great because you zone out and every so often you snap back hear something like 'and remember to account for the risk you live a long life'

Earned my first dollar in Sydney today. Then promptly spent that dollar on a light rail ride home. This is the future the YIMBYs want.

You can only keep 2. Fixed exchange rate. Independent monetary policy. Capital flows.
You can only keep 3. Makeup, driving, bread, mobile phone, alcohol, pets, TV, dancing, novels, haircuts, passport, sick pay.

The brain drain is a result of AirNZ making it too comfortable and easy to leave the country. When will THIS GOVERNMENT step in??

Been in New Plymouth for 12hrs - already been yelled at by a leathery middle-age in a hilux for crossing a pedestrian crossing slightly slower than they would like #MyHometown

This is the Russian Flagship #Moskva before she sank. It's impossible to fully assess the situation aboard based on one picture but marine salvage masters must make assumptions based on little information. As a ship captain and ship fire author here's what appears to be likely🧵

Please no more pseudo-legal POVs.
Oh cool so antivaxxers believe they can just up and become "sheriffs" now if they print themselves off a certificate 🙄

Our front page today: We want our city back. We talk to frustrated business owners, residents and students about the protest blockade that is severely disrupting life in the capital.

Take a moment to think about Mike Bush. The no nonsense former commissioner would be having a field day right now.

Gonna put a statue of a closed fist on the Wellington waterfront and you can have your photo taken whilst standing on it pretending to be a massive middle finger

So weirded out how many companies are trying to make tipping a thing in New Zealand. Tipping cultures suck. Let’s just pay employees enough.

Tonight I saw a man hit a woman in the vehicle they were both in and wrote down the number plate. Called 105 in case your officers wanted to check on her @nzpolice. I'm told the resonse team is too busy and I have to ring back until I get them at a time when they can respond.

Alright, I rang again this morning and got through to someone who took the details. Someone is going to go around and check.

Can we get 105 a case management system @Stuart_NashMP ? A pen and paper would probably do? Relying on the public to keep calling until officers have capacity to respond is a bit of a risk.
