Do we expect younger generations-students now-to support us later through funding our superannuation, yet we burden them with study debt used to gain qualifications for better careers and opportunities, even though many of those roles sustain the systems we rely on as we age? Why would they?

I heard them present this live on RNZ, presenters were glowing about how this support from the farmer made you feel good, gave them warm fuzzy feelings… I was groaning, no it doesn’t! It makes me cross not just with government services, but with the presenters missing the underlying issues

021

drewmcm696.bsky.social @drewmcm696.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Well no it doesn’t… It makes you feel where the hell is our government social services in disability services…? Assessing on need and rights of accessibility, and determining funding requirements only from that basis, and not out of date arbitrary funding ceilings is lacking

030

drewmcm696.bsky.social @drewmcm696.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Just a note, it wasn’t the article itself that was the feelgood factor… It was the way the presenters put it across before and after the article. Saying things like “ it just makes you feel good when things like this happen… makes you feel a little warm inside…” etc.., we know it doesn’t.

drewmcm696.bsky.social @drewmcm696.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Good to see this is being followed up by Dr Bex. Hearing the way this was reported on RNZ at the time I was not impressed. Still no response from RNZ from my emails nearly 2 weeks ago regarding this open.substack.com/pub/drbex/p/...

open.substack.com

Does housing accessibility now depend on a feel-good story?

Disabled people should not have to publicly expose hardship, perform gratitude, or rely on benevolence to access something as basic as entering and leaving their own home.

okay I’ve just been reminded about the Batmobile… So the 1999 Plymouth prowler is actually not a bad option

right I’ve had a look, and my first pic would be out of prince!s garage 1991 BMW 850 if I had to choose another: 1964 Buick Wildcat The rest is pretty uninspiring to me. But I’m not a huge fan of US cars - the Bentley is okay, but it’s a Bentley. So of course it’s okay…
