The Daily Blog Open Mic – 19th June 2024

Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog,  3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.

All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.

EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world  and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

  1. In my view allowing unconsented granny flats etc to be built will be an invitation to the unscrupulous to create a substandard housing problem, overcrowding them with, for example, desperate families and equally desperate and exploited migrant workers.

    • And desperate neighbours who can find no peace and community in their once livable location. That is, not all, but with the bottom feeders from the property speculators and ginvestors who will probably toast their profits in some drug, going for blood at all possible levels, it is bound to deteriorate life as we have been able to enjoy it.

  2. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/519988/why-new-zealand-needs-to-prepare-now-for-a-future-in-a-world-without-china
    …”No one is in a worse position than the Chinese,” Peter Zeihan, a top geo-political strategist, says.
    “According to the data that the Chinese have updated in just the last year… they’ve got a fertility rate that is one quarter, or below, replacement levels in all of their major cities.
    “So, we’re looking at the demographic collapse of the Chinese state within 10 years, and that assumes nothing else goes wrong – no trade war with the United States, no government breakdown because of the cult of personality that has arisen around chairman Xi [Jinping], no conflict, nothing.”…

    Wot BS. Just reverse the above comment and it fits USA. Question this idea of fertility rates tying into success, like pushbutton consumers popping up at a booth at a fair – throw the hoop over the right outcome and win the world and all its riches?

    Who is this Peter Zeihan? Who pays him to put his opinions about? Why have I got an advertisement for a Chinese backpack lurking at the bottom?
