DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

@claireamosnz.bsky.social makes an astute observation regarding the contradiction of government education policies, especially relating to “screen time” for students. Something I hadn’t thought about, but it reveals how hollow their policies are. #edication #aotearoa #economy #nzpol

It's great that rents are falling, but don't let Bishop and his Bishboys take any credit for it. In NZ, flat rents are a sign of significant labour market / income stress. What's remarkable about this time is that we have engineered our very own recession while the rest of the world has carried on.

New loan drawdowns net of repayments - a measure of credit demand. For the avoidance of doubt, when that white line runs below zero for any period of time, that's a solid recession indicator. Our economy is credit fuelled. Can you see the start of big 2026 recovery? Faded before it got started, ay?
