The Daily Blog Open Mic – 14th November 2025
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.
23 years in business so know their field well but the decision makers in NZAO live in an Ayn Rand dream economic world. Push the right buttons like pigeons and popportunities drop out, (like opportunities but with extra sugar, and privileged customer vouchers for the gofer on revisiting or reinvesting.

…In the liquidator’s first report to creditors and shareholders, Falloon said Russell and his wife Katherine attributed the decision to “five of the most difficult years imaginable” for the business.
They told the liquidator they had even made the “emotional decision” to sell their family home in an effort to repay debt and recapitalise the business but had been unable to secure further finance to restart trading…
But bowled out by Gnact and Nicola. People who know nothing about being in business where you put your heart, soul, time, work and expertise into effectiveness and profitability and delivery of satisfactory products. It’s not swanning around being a manager, not even staying on the job sitting on top of fertile eggs which go bad because of lack of care and interest,. It is all too sad like the children’s cautionary tale of dopey chook Maisie, who flew off the nest, perhaps to Hawaii. Is Luxon like Maisie Bird in ‘Horton Hatches An Egg.’ This lively version puts the oomph into the story which might help deflated Gnacts. (Put the CC on, the words are so good.)

Get moving in the right direction, or total out and get lost you lot!
I’ve just had some gardening work etc done and will pay $55 odd for GST. It is amusing that I have to pay a charge to the gummint (the one with the whole lot of holes in it), for allowing me to get necessary work done for me which said gummint often makes necessary or more difficult than otherwise.
The GST is usury. The money we have to spend is virtually lent to us and consumerism is keeping the country alive, so they want us to spend it and then charge high percentage fees on some of it and 15% GST on most of it. We are supposed to have adopted a more business-like efficient way of doing things, but for what we have now that’s an oxymoron. We are being diddled, caught up in a spiders web – as we buzz buzz agitatedly the gummint is eating us at its leisure.
