PM Chloe Swarbrick

[husaberg]

The scary thing is there is a generation of youngsters brainwashed by education system that think she is the Joan of Arc of our time. The youth have a thirst for revolution.unfortunately few have studied history enough to know what that always leads too….

I’ve yet to here any real solutions for anything come from here, just rants about how bad everything is, she should be on kiwibiker lol

okay boomer

You keep using this forum, I do not think it's for what you think it's for...

The Herald just gave Chloe a bit of oxygen or perhaps it was laughing gas because she ended her rant mentioning Rogernomics.
She’s not a fan apparently of the reforms in 1984 done by the lefty Labour Party in its fourth term.
While a lot of it was unpopular at the time it did cure the double digit inflation at time down to single figures.
Also quotes thatcher so hopefully she’s heard her line on socialism, “eventually you run out of other people’s mo way to spend”.
So that should leave you in no doubt what NZ will look like if greens ever get into power.

The ghost of Thatcher is haunting the Poms. Thatcher privatised the gas industry. In the last year or so the company that owned seventy percent of the British gas storage capacity decided to go out of the gas storage business leaving Britain with very modest gas storage capacity. Price increases were fed straight into the system. Pensioners were getting power bills worth a thousand quid plus. The increases made electric cars expensive to run and have even (gasp) increased the price of whisky, and anything else that uses electricity in production. Which is pretty much everything.

I can't listen to chloe, she is just a drone on the radio, talks too fast and has little to no expression in her voice.

cheers

Ah Rogernomics, the last time everything got so unaffordable that there had to be an economic reset in Aotearoa.

Not that they magically made everything affordable, they just dropped the pretence that public services were too important to underfund and simply underfunded them in perpetuity. And privatised all the profitable (at the time) bits.

Don't think I want to be around for the next one, actually without a pension I guess I won't be for long.

Yeah. The rest of the world was having a boom time, Richardson and Shipley gave NZ a recession. That was so much fun (for some) that we are looking likely to repeat the experience.
