Jacinda

Now, if you could be so kind as to compare it to countries that *didn't* follow the same policys, so we could have a true comparison.

Who said anything about a comparison. At least from those charts, all the english speaking countries suffered inflation. You find a country that didn't, then select one to move to, so you can quit your whining

"Look at all these other people, they are dead - so you can't blame the fact that one person jumped off a bridge as being fatal"

"Yes, but all the other people also jumped off a bridge"

None of them did anything different, which is why they experienced the same results.

Got it, you cannot find any english speaking countries that did it differently and did not suffer inflation. Bugga.
But Jacinda is evil!!!

I mean, if it makes you feel any better - every other world leader who did the same thing is also a Cunt - including Boris Johnson (whom I previously quite liked).

However, I do have to ask what the language spoken has anything to do with it? Bad government policy and diseases aren't bound to just the English.

The problem is I can find countries that didn't implement the same policies and surprise surprise, they didn't suffer the same ill-effects.

I'm trying to be nice by finding you an English speaking country to move too, but alas it looks like they in your opinion are all cunts.
Why did no native English speaking countries agree with you? The weight of opinion sure seems against you in this case.

Well, we've had this discussion - if I were a single man without family, I would have moved to Texas or Florida a while ago.

I know right, almost like there's been something deliberately undermining Anglo-western values and morality around the Individual that has infected University, Education, Government and Companies that compelled them to make Immoral and Illiberal decisions that immiserated the population.

And I should remind you - Argumentum ad Populum is a logical fallacy for a reason. Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn't mean it's right.

[sugilite:Me]

Nope, you are missing the point. I'm trying to find you a native english speaking country that has not had the inflation hit to move to. The USA is not such a country.

You miss the point:

It doesn't matter where I move to, if the government applies the same policies that cause negative consequences for the populace, I'll end up with the same issues.

[sugilite:Me]

I started the point, so I'm hardly missing it. However you "appear" to have finally caught on. There is not another single native english speaking country that you could have moved to where this inflation would not have occurred. Each and every english speaking country rejected your way of thinking. It is pointless whining about it seemingly being a Jacinda issue eh.

But there are other countries that didn't do the same thing. And surprise surprise, they didn't suffer this inflation anywhere near as bad. Perhaps there's some logic there about Bad ideas leading to bad policy leading to bad outcomes.

She embraced it fully and enforced it on us. She should hang for her crimes against NZ.

All you will need to do is learn a new language before you move then.

What more do I need, than the time-honored tradition of saying slowly and loudly:

"DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?"

Ich sprecht ein bissen Deautsch, Mein deautsch ist sehr schlect.

Orange Jacinda Woman Bad

I believe the correct insult involves horse and teeth - but then I tend not to comment on physical appearance. Her sins against NZ are more than enough for me.

Time for some relevant comedy to reset

I was just listening to a podcast about food security and how things have got much worse. It has been for 10-15 years, gfc, then pandemic, now cost of living crisis.
The huge amount of people who were struggling, but the amount classified as food insecure, who had cut out all healthy food as it was too expensive and were regularly missing meals sometimes for days, drinking sugary water just to get by. 17% of adult population! Many have kids of course. Its shameful.
This was Discovery on BBC so it's not a hack program. Of course it is based on UK, but it is generally speaking Jacindas fault.

BBC became a bunch of Hacks 10 years ago. Ever since Brexit.

I don't suppose letting hundreds of thousands per year of illegal migrants across a border would say drive up the cost of food and consume government resources that would otherwise help those people.

Just a thought.

The other thing is that the Tories in the UK continued many of Tony Blair's disastrous policies. And where was it that Jacinda got her Political start? Why that would be in the Blair labour government.
