Maybe I should move to new Zealand.

Better yet, maybe other people in America can wake the fuck up and stage a general strike

    New Zealand is in real trouble. They face the worst housing crisis in the Western World.

    Basically, they don't build anything at all.

    They had a decent woman that tried to turn things around. But Jacynda Aerdern told them to limit travel and wear masks during a global pandemic. She saved countless lives. But conspiracy theorists freaked out and called her evil.

    Now they have a government of right-wing clowns.

    I like the (tangentially related) bit where Simeon Brown is saying it's unacceptable that Nelson Hospital's generator failed.

    The minister of cutting funding to the health sector says it's unacceptable. Maybe he will provide that boost to health funding that doctors and nurses are striking over?

    I was gonna make this a tshirt for the rally using the national N logo but didn't get my A into G. Kinda fortunate the weather forced the demonstration to be cancelled 'cos I was feeling guilty about it...

    Still might organise it just in case

    In a country of only ~5 million people, this is massive.
