Whingy Nick: Trump what the hell?
I thought my model of flogging off heavily marked up, landfill destined, plastic junk toys to the USA using the cheapest, most exploitable labour I could possibly find was infallible.
Now throughout China the production of so much Chinese junk is being put on hold.
Whingy Nick again: Hell I might have to vote for the greens next time they would never in a million years have come up with something this environmentally meaningful.
Fact and fiction – how does one tell them apart now? Is this our version of Trump, the self-made man/monster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuru_(company)
When Nick Mowbray was twelve in 1997, he designed and created a hot air balloon model kit, won by a national science fair in New Zealand. He started selling the kits with his brother, Mat, as a first mini business of also delivering. They sold their kits throughout high school, and eventually decided to attend university. They returned to delivering kits after one year of university.[1]
In 2003, Mowbray moved to Hong Kong from New Zealand and at age 18, with his brother, started a factory in Guangzhou, China. They were financed with a $20,000 loan from their parents, which they used to buy an injection molding machine. Soon after they ran into difficulties due to a lack of managerial and administrative experience, communication skills and knowledge of intellectual property legislation.[2] In 2005, their sister Anna joined the business. The company was named Zuru after they discovered their original name had been trademarked by a different company.[2]
Walmart later expressed interest in Zuru’s products and began selling them in their stores.[2]
On November 7, 2022, Zuru used the US courts to get the names and details of former employees who left negative comments on review site Glassdoor. Zuru filed in a California court to subpoena Glassdoor for information about posters who wrote scathing reviews of the workplace environment and management at Zuru. Zuru were successful in the courtroom, defeating the defendant, Glassdoor.[3]
In January 2023, Stuff reported that Nick Mowbray was one of three people to donate $250,000 to the centre-right New Zealand National Party, ahead of the 2023 election.[4]
In November 2024, CBS News 8 reported on a Zuru product that was featuring explicit language. Phrases containing “manic,” “motorized rage fire,” “berzerko,” “mad mega barrel,” and “insanity” were on boxes marketed towards children.[5]

Neoliberalism and facism, hallmarks of right wing politics come crashing down to earth.
