The Daily Blog Open Mic – 12th September 2023
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.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, 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.
Harry Seymour and the Vanishing Cadidates 🙂

We have to watch out for our young people – can we get our decent society back again? What can we do to further this if enough people agree?

This could be an important swing voter base of people who are likely to respond quickly to promising policy. These sole traders are people who have tried to climb out of the mess that Labour and National have made in this country exposing it to every trader under-paying workers or having huge factory runs and trading a lot of goods on marginal costs etc.
We have to import basics because of efficiency ie cheapness, and export milk powder because we can float along with the market (Ricardo I think is at the base of this). Now people trying to pull themselves up by their bootstraps find that they are of inferior make from their suppliers and gummint hasn’t a clue about remedying their position because what used to be efficient but perhaps slow, is inefficient and won’t go. What an awful rhyme!
There is no reason or rhyme for what was done to NZ micro businesses by gummint except their own tribal benefits; the political class clinging together like busy ants stripping all our goodies for their own proliferation.
