Reasons to be cheerful

[husaberg]

A puff piece. Are you serious? Did you read the report to compare the article's content? If there was any "puff" involved it was the fact that the article picked up on Clarke's negative narative, which wasn't part of the report at all.


Which does include a fair bit of negative feedback. Mostly to do with the cost of shit:

A phenomena that's annoyed and puzzled most Kiwis for decades, but while there's no reason to be cheerful about the trade barriers that cause that it hardly compares to improvements for 2 billion actual poor over the last few years in that regard.

Yes deadly serious it was a National Cream Puff peice
Yes cream puff as the cream rises to the stop the scum settles in their rightful place at the bottom.
the National party puff peice scertainly worked a treat on you, Your chest was all puffed out posting about how lucky we all are..........

Tell me again was that the same week as it was announched 1/3 of children don't have their basic needs meet in NZ now
Food Shelter and a warm dry roof over their heads

Aye. I wonder if you'll find a heavily regulated or captive market at the bottom of that...

no, what you find is the multinational companies that own America. It is a fascist oligopoly with a thin veneer of pretend democracy.

Luckily the Dear Leader is around to make witty one liners about prison rape to take our minds off our troubles. Well, ya gotta laugh, eh?

The announcement that 27% of children live in households with adults earning under 60% of mean wage?

Think I'll stick to laughing at your description of a UN report showing NZ in a good light as having been influenced by the NZ national party.

As I said:

households living below the 60% median income poverty threshold

Now THAT's spin.

Face it, dude, it takes a special effort be actually poor in NZ, after you've managed to avoid finding someone willing to pay you for providing some service or other you also have to avoid the veritable avalanche of benefits designed to prevent you from facing the consequences of your failure.

There's something to be truly cheerful about: no labour party govt to convert such spin into yet more increases in those benefits in their usual pre-rigor mortis twitch response to such transparent bullshit.

In case you missed it children are the victims of poverty.
Using your logic is it their own fault
Victims of violence and sexual assult are also to blame are they?

Poverty's to blame, now?

Putting aside the laughable definition of "poverty" and the fact that these "children" are up to 17 years old, who exactly is to blame for poverty?

No, no don't tell me, it's..... it's John Key, innit?

No doubt he's to blame for all the sexual assault and violence too.

TM listing's gone though.

Today I'm cheerful that QI is a thing, and that despite not being in its country of origin, or even all that loyal to its monarchy, we still get to partake.
