Apparently we are well on the way to the first recovery ever to happen while households deposits are falling in real terms. The reckonomists think we are at the upturn in the cycle - what if we're still on the way down?!?

Words have consequences. When Aotearoa signed up to climate action and then this gov't refuses to lift a finger or u-turn on climate action, it must have consequences. This time it's trade & foreign policy implications. The real world consequence is more flood, more emergencies in the future. #nzpol

How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE* 

sexual violence centre cork 

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS 

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE. 

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM. 

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU. 

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

*for perpetrators.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

The problem is that NZ issues NZ dollars. That doesn’t abolish scarcity. Nurses, electricity, houses, labour and productive capacity are all genuinely finite. But “the money” is not scarce in the same way. Which makes the household metaphor rather important politically.

NZ fiscal politics depends heavily on a familiar story: The government is like a household. The wallet is empty. We need to tighten our belts. The serious Finance Minister is the adult whose job is to say: No.

Lacan distinguishes fear from anxiety. Fear has an object. But anxiety is different: the object is there, but you can’t quite name it. And anxiety appears, in particular, when lack itself starts to disappear... Bear with me.
