Unfortunately at the end of that road is a perpendicular cliff with slips before, blocking the way to a walking track for the poor people and piles of bodies lying in the ravines beside. Because anything we imagine might happen, don’t dismiss this vision, it or some thing similar has happened in the world. We have the necessary human traits to bring it about,
unfortunately. As Kurt Vonnegut said I think, “We could have done better but we were too damn lazy.”

The first part is right Trevor, the second part of your comment lacks intelligence given the money borrowed kept people and businesses alive, even you’ve admitted that previously.
Ada whilst you are correct, your solutions are not. We need to tax proportionately. At present the wealthy are on a joy ride. Fix this you fix state welfare.

Just limit political donations and those that are given are used to provide information that goes beyond opinions and one liners, Must start with a verifiable fact and add more facts to it. With a word limit otherwise tl:dr – pollies and their advisors are used to spinning everything.

Orr recommended mopping up the money with taxes on the ‘participants’ who ended up with the pandemic profits and inflated assets. Instead, first Labour resisted, then Orr was fired. Meanwhile, the austerity has crashed the economy and the assets have deflated. If the tax had been levied a few years ago, the debt would have been reduced, but now the debt and interest remain.

@ Trevor “I think this country will survive if National keep holding the purse strings” ..Ah, you mean ACT/The NZ Initiative. This country will survive but in what state, under National?Mass emigration to Australia of all our young people and talent, all state assets handed over to their mates in the private sector for monopolies and price gouging. Oh, and handing over the job of regulation to their corporate mates as well. Dystopian NZ here we come! We’ll only attract immigrants from third world countries….oh, wait

We don’t believe you
