“The global and NZ Media are now using reverse psychology on us” as they try to make those responsible for our global problems;
*such as road freight industries who emit massive amounts of climate emissions as ‘the worst climate change polluters’ https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/421506/whangarei-floods-tow-trucks-help-travellers-sewers-leaking
*and now the corporations who are now killing our jobs, actually are being made to look like our saviours who care about our loss of jobs; – but studies show that they were the one who automated industry doing away with jobs, such as Microsoft.’’ https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/421514/world-faces-staggering-jobs-challenge-says-microsoft-president
Here are two such sites the media portray those industries as “the good guys” helping us now in small ways” after they caused the problem in the first place but not pointing out their harm caused to us so they only show the good side and not the bad side. “reverse physiology is being used on us.”
We are in for a rough ride for the next decade it seems;

Coronavirus: Leading economist warns of 10 years of depression and debt
By Karishma VaswaniAsia business correspondent
• 22 May 2020
Economist Nouriel Roubini has warned of a prolonged downturn and sluggish recovery from the coronavirus.
Nicknamed Dr Doom for his gloomy predictions, Professor Roubini said there are some jobs that simply will not come back after this crisis.
Even if the global economy recovers this year from the impact of the coronavirus, it will be “anaemic”.
He warned of “unprecedented” recession. Professor Roubini foresaw the financial crisis in 2008 before many others.
“During the global financial crisis it took about three years until output fell sharply,” he told the BBC’s Talking Asia programme from his home in New York.
“This time around it didn’t take three years, not even three months. In three weeks there was a freefall of every component.”
Drastic
Professor Roubini also said any recovery will be in the shape of what economists call a “U”, or even “something closer to an L” – what he calls a “Greater Depression.”
I’m just looking at NZPost costs. Size 1/3kg bags are $3.50 postage included.
For 20 the price is $70. Does this ‘business’ want to promote itself or not? If you buy 20 you should get $3 off and so pay $67 – a round figure, reasonable discount. Everyone understands volume discount except deliberately sluggish NZPost! Seems that it can be likened to two garden pests – slugs and snails. I think it can do better.
This is pretty shocking in Lebanon and this Christian Kiwi is doing a lot of good, and it’s not just a ploy to get more numbers to the church. Many of the maids are Ethiopian who are Christian, the Filipinos are possibly Catholic.

A tale of two businesses
Last month the mining company Rio Tinto, with the blessing of the Australian government, took rabid capitalism to new levels by desecrating an Aboriginal cultural site. The area destroyed in the name of a quick buck was significant to the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura People who have lived there for tens of thousands of years. It is destruction of sacred sites and world history and it is disgusting. New Zealand would be wise to jettison this company from our shores and their dross scum should go with them (the people and economy of Southland will need to be protected thereafter).
At the other end of the business paradigm, my thoughts go out to the shopkeepers who were attacked by thugs recently while trying to defend their business. One guy was stabbed when he stood up to these maggots, who robbed not because they were hungry or destitute but because they wanted an alcoholic fix. To the shopkeepers I say thankyou for working hard and trying to grow trade and commerce in the country, and protecting what is yours, you’re the heroes this country needs.
fuck all of this bullshit. lets all get horsed. this marijuana referendum should be the massivists party in the world ever for a few hours now am i correct or what the fuck!!! is going on???
