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.

    Use of the much cheaper eftpos network has fallen in recent years, as more shoppers opt for contactless debit and credit cards, as well as cards loaded on to phones.
    In January 2017, eftpos cards were used for about 40 percent of in-person payments. By July 2023, its share had fallen to about 22 percent.
    It has been estimated that New Zealanders are paying up to $90 million a year in surcharges.

    WHY are people not using eftpos? Why are people just accepting these ubiquitous cards that are losing us useful simpler services.
    SHOULD we have a day where we don’t use our cards at all – cash only and only trade where they still accept cash??? we must be forthright and be aware. Personally I fear that most with money are fatuous or fat-headed.
