The Daily Blog Open Mic – 17th April 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.

What is attractive about most of the new builds today? Just get it up and build well, to decent levels and wait to mature a few years and a tornado will blow it down. If there is space between it and the neighbours, and it doesn’t block off sunlight and air movement then accept it thankfully.
One thing though there should be a lien? on it that it must be sold at market rate to a local trust which only sells it to those living in the community and who are working there. How about that for something to make change from the robbing of our land and housing assets?

The annual info about ME/CFS shows that it is not to be taken lightly. I think that this epic epi should STFU and advise that people should stay in a sate of alert instead of talking to us like babes in arms so soothingly.

Not all ME sufferers have this level of decline. But look at how they are in this article. There is some internal breakdown after having a virus that hits some so hard they are wiped out. And often these people have been busy achievers. If they had cancer they would get noticed but because their vitality is nil, a close circle only know unless they join a help group. Numbers from long covid will increase the present number in NZ with the disability of ME/CFS which may never right itself completely, though some can achieve a normal life .
