The Daily Blog Open Mic – 16th October 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. “Had the GST exemptions in those three countries been applied to New Zealand in a recent study by Australian researchers, who compared a basket of over 40 products at each country’s two main supermarket brands, the total price of the Pak’nSave basket would have been lower than Australia’s and lower than Ireland’s, and less than 10 percent more than the UK’s.”

    How can that be? How much is being paid out of capital to buy new tech machinery to replace people, how much to consultants? I can’t bear to read in detail and peer around the blocking portals of chicanery that I feel likely to be in large chunks.

    How is the paperwork going at the intersection of private providers, insurance etc and the government milch cow? That’s where much money flows in the USA and our people’s tongues are hanging out for the same, at least the dirty big dogs pushing for PPPs.
