The Daily Blog Open Mic – 21st May 2024
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.

NZ Council of Trade Unions economist and policy director Craig Renney said inflation expectations and the Reserve Bank’s view of those would be important.
“That’s often a good indicator of whether inflation is going to come down.”
He said he would also be interested to see whether the bank’s new single mandate was “expressing itself”. The first bill passed by the new government was to return the Reserve Bank to a single mandate of maintaining price stability, removing the need for it to also support maximum sustainable employment.
“If we see all the indicators of employment, GDP and everything else heading in the wrong direction but the Reserve Bank is not doing anything because inflation is doing something, we’re probably using the wrong tool to tackle that inflation problem and the cure is worse than the disease. That will be an expression of the single mandate.”
Have all the people handling our financial controls actually passed their driving test and got their licence? I think this should be done annually, manually (ie hands-on and not sitting back tapping out interesting charts with pretty coloured lines for them to decorate their offices with).
