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.

Prices in the well-run supermarket I go to have risen, some by 10%. I’ve noted higher prices specially on meat.

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.
