Sorry, I'll explain. We currently react to inflation by reducing the disposable income of spenders so that demand falls and unemployment goes up. We use a bufferstock of unemployed people to keep workers desperate, so wages are suppressed and we don't get a feedback loop (wage 🔄 prices) [🧵 1/n]

Latest NZ balance sheet data is out. Always a pleasure. We can start with our apparently perilously indebted government. Errrm, see those blue bars? They're higher than the yellow line, right? Yep, the private sector is in net debt to the Govt. Daft. [🧵1/n]

"National leader Christopher Luxon did not want taxpayer funding going into a "white elephant" that was not commercially viable. "Of course we're very committed to our 17 roads of national significance and we make no apology for that." Hmmm which one is a white elephant? #nzpol

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

thank you The New York Post for what may be the funniest image of all time
a picture from the NY Post titled "	today’s leftists are possessed by the spirit of France’s 18th-century guillotine-loving revolutionaries" (way too long) that shows Mamdani (the specter haunting Europe) smiling in the sky as a bunch of French people goof around

Willem de Kooning, 1976
An abstract painting in oil paint made up of fluid brushstrokes. It is a balance of neutral grey, tan, white and black supporting a dynamic patch of yellow and red, further supported by small but powerful patches of blue and red. The painting is pictured framed by a thin minimalist frame on a white wall and a little wooden floor is visible at the bottom of the picture

This election should be a youthquake. Kids: enrol to vote, then vote like your lives depend on it, because they do.✊ Everyone else: vote like those young people (who’ll be picking up after *all this mess*, including you in your vulnerable old age) plan to ask you how YOU voted…because they should.

not the future ANYONE should want for NZ and yet, despite the loud pronouncements by NZ media that they'd take climate seriously, there is barely any pressure on the government over destructive and regressive policy that the National coalition has delivered for 3 years drilled.media/news/new-zea...
