But you forget - Communists don't believe in property rights

Good point.
I told her to rip it down and send them a bill for the damage to the fence.

People are infuriatingly stupid.
Several weeks ago, labour was polling at pretty much fuck all, they put up a new public face & without any policy changes, they start kicking arse.
It's not a miss congeniality contest, it's choosing a government for fucks sake.
It proves that basically nobody gives a toss, or much less study's or understands govt policy & its effects on their lives, as long as the messenger is some kind of appealing.
It's damn near enough all the proof we need to have an iq test prior to people being allowed to register to vote.

That's not about Communism, she's probably just a second or third generation tagger.

I see that the nz taxpayers union has labour's proposed spend at $19 billion over current. Nat's bribes amount to $6.8b.

Which will be almost all borrowing, cause the rich pricks are pretty much tapped out.

Fuxache, how much fucking govt will it take to convince these fuckwits that's not a solution to their problem?

It works both ways...the one on our fence (put there with permission) is being deliberately obscured daily by a local cocky parking a van in front of it....

There's a horrible temptation to scatter tacks where he parks.

It's pretty much one way up here. I rode up to Hastings yesterday and about half of the blue graffiti I passed had been pulled down, didn't see any red stuff on the ground.

TV generations rule today - change channels and get the same brand of shit from unlimited different actors - so many channels, so much shit!

The red channel is offering a female Dracula series this season - the media seem to think it has news potential!

Stop watching terrestrial TV. I had a lovely surprise this morning. I had no idea it was Father's Day. Got breakfast made for me by #1 son and he has also furnished a coffee and a Danish for morning tea.

If we still watched telly, I'd have been in no doubt of when Father's Day was, from the day after Mother's Day.

Similarly, this election I've done a much deeper dive into policy and manifesto documents and have been horrified at how unprepared for Government any of the parties are. They're completely glued to the Election Hype, Break Promises, Do Nothing unless it's really broken then do the worst thing possible, Election Hype cycle that our much too short election cycle gifts us.

Pretty much sums up our modern disposable society.

I was talking to a car mechanic recently. He said it's a effort getting people to bring in their new cars for a yearly service.

Absolutely true.
The potential to have a new leader who has the only credentials of running a socialist youth camp, is quite disturbing. Any form of serious crisis pops up and we are totally fucked.

Like, a Monday morning?

We don't actually have a TV since moving location and down sizing our house - enjoying life without it and don't miss it very much.

As for elections if they cannot get the money sorted they can do little more than shuffle the deck chairs about for their 3 year terms!

If they did try to sort the money out the USA would be on our doorstep creating destabilisation until we returned to status quo banking.
