The Daily Blog Open Mic – 24th March 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.
I’m in Australia, and am blocked from accessing the Winz JobBank website. Previously I was able to see the website, so the blocking has been put in place since the last time I looked at it. Does anyone know why Winz is stopping people in Australia seeing what JobBank jobs are available? I’m sure that the our equivalent (workforceaustralia.gov.au) does not get blocked in NZ.
The Warehouse has had negative propaganda set up against it – but it is New Zeland owned and does stuff that is good for NZ IIRR.

Prices in the well-run supermarket I go to have risen, some by 10%. I’ve noted higher prices specially on meat.
We are suckers to be sold comforting propaganda,; in the USA they used to call such people ‘rubes’.

The financial predators are prepared to suck us dry and destroy our memory of past successes, failure, lost and found, past ways and imaginings – think only of NOW and what we are serving up to you! Don’t ask for different, don’t turn to the past, or think at all. As one of my bosses once said to me (quite reasonably too) – ‘I am paying you to do this not think about that.’
Stop. We must not let these zombie minds take us over.

Westland Milk Products has surged back into the black driven by record sales.
The Chinese-owned company reported a profit $39 million for the year ended December compared with a loss of $82.2m in 2021.
The turnaround came as revenue rose 27 percent to $1.04 billion on increased production and a broader range of products.
