The problem is some entity usually has to put up the capital with little legislation and lots of tax havens and very little progress towards public equity in energy resources. All our power stations were bought and payed for by by the public and we have some of the highest energy prices in the world. Lmao.]]></description>

Fixing implies that there has ever yet been a time when society actually worked (for anyone except those who get to set the rules of the game). 

But yes; definitely eagerly waiting to see what the Alert level 3 protocols mean for the dental school opening here, Grey. No way can I afford a private dentist! It&#039;s weird how toothache doesn&#039;t just feel sore in the mouth, it also makes the tooth itself feel bigger somehow... Sensory cortex homuncular distortion through superactivation?]]></description>

I mean; yay! Fusion and all... But the E in ITER does stand for &quot;experimental&quot;. And it&#039;s taken; what now? Forty years from start to (projected) finish. Even then, if it works, it&#039;s just going to vent energy into the atmosphere rather than power a heat-exchange generator, or anything practical.

If you are looking for a stable source of fusion energy, why not go with the sun? Photovoltaic solar, and wind turbines (arguably solar energy drives weather systems) are economically viable  right now! Storage and transmission remain serious issues however.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[ITER is like the anthem of humanity, when the first people came and banded together in tribes, hunting, gathering, surviving the harsh conditions of the world.

ITER is like revisiting our origins as a species, at least that&#039;s what ITER looks like to me, the dawn of man kind.

					<description><![CDATA[Homeless - with musical elan.   What about the same excitement and co-ordination from small housing projects carried out as public/private partnerships with capable Maori and Pacific communities in cities and towns, not just on marae grounds.    That&#039;s excitement I said, not exit-meant.

Free public transport - so people can seek out work and then get to it at an affordable price.    Why should being over 65 be the reason for getting concessions.    The country&#039;s workers and indeed most people putting their back into keeping NZ going are in the under-65s.     Let government consider them for a change.   

Free public transport for people AND transport for kids getting around, provided they behave (give them an inch and some will take a mile),  no matter what barriers the ed. system had set up in their &#039;bureaugateic &#039; way now overturned.gg]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Maori and Pasifika given as reasons for extending martial law

The PM was quoted in RNZ as saying people from these groups (with potentially trace ancestry), these bundled brownies, &quot;would have been heavily impacted by Covid-19&quot; (RNZ, n.d.). Maybe. Maybe we will slip over a banana peel tomorrow as well. We could also have caught any of the hundreds of diseases which are transmitted through communities, or be subject to the same physical or natural phenomena related to death as anyone else. What has this decision got to do with a Maori, doesn&#039;t this virus treat every human the same as seen by infection rates of the international community, which actually show New Zealanders may have stronger immune systems judging by our low fatality rate (hey why not give this as a reason for our low rate, it is much more believable then ridiculous social distancing being responsible for stopping infection)? Alternatively the statistics could be meaningless, or there is little threat from Covid as shown by the death rates compared to death from say seasonal influenza. And the PM and Bloomfield are saying the need to save Maori is now, in the middle of a pandemic, at the  point of releasing society from their house arrest? As a Maori this has got nothing to do with me, but okay let&#039;s pivot to the indigenous population. Where has this government been in the last three years when housing and poverty could have been assisted with a raise in base benefit, student and wage levels? You couldn&#039;t help the most vulnerable then but suddenly over night agreed to pay newly unemployed tens of billions in social spending? Don&#039;t you dare.
