Only Simeon seems unaffected, though he smiled at me yesterday in a strange discomfiting manner. The bus. The bus. The bus. 7308

Ryan Sproull @ryansproull.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I mean, it is intended to be an incentive to growth but threatens a sudden drop in company value if it grows beyond a certain turnover. But it can't be applied as consistent progressive taxation, became turnover isn't taxed, profit is. 010
Ryan Sproull @ryansproull.bsky.social · 24/09/2026They want it lower for SMEs, defined as under $30 million in turnover. It's hard to know where to begin talking about how ridiculous it is. 110

Ryan Sproull @ryansproull.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Quick pseudo-poll. If the Green Party's KiwiMart plan was enacted, how much would you expect a $100 grocery bill to be a year later (ignoring inflation)? #nzpol 001
Ryan Sproull @ryansproull.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Would it surprise you to learn that if Woolworths and Foodstuffs got in a price war that reduced their profits to zero, your $100 grocery bill would fall all the way to about $97 – at least, until they both went out of business. 010
