Personal Financial Expectations With Closed Borders

 A quick calculation reveals that my budget will be down by between $10,000 and 15,000 this year.

This fall is directly due to the bloody stupid government reaction to Covid-19, particularly the still-closed borders.

These closed borders are delaying reality for Godzone, pushing back the chance of any return to normality for New Zealand.

All for a "flu" that kills those who would die anyway.

If you doubt that statement observe Britain, where in October this year (2020), in the midst of a panic that has seen the country once again subject to house arrest, the total death toll was eight - that's right 8!, in a population exceeding 70,000,000 - above normal.

Back to the $10 - $15,000. 

This means I shall spend that amount less, mainly on food, booze and domestic travel.

One semi-retired old fart.

It won't cause me much hardship, being self employed for years, dealing with the public, means I live a relatively frugal existence, by choice mostly alone.

I doubt, though, that I am unique, that there aren't many more in NZ who also will have a greatly reduced budget.

The only comfort I have is that there is a good chance I shall be either dead or completely do-lally, pissing and mewling in a forgotten corner of an old-farts home, before this reduction in spending bites New Zealand on it's arse.

Racism - Telling the Truth?

 Racism becomes official in New Zealand.

MediaWorks is fined by an official Government watchdog because an interviewer didn't kow-tow to a bunch of brown thugs.

The interviewer told the truth about the group and those behind them.

"During the segment, Plunket called iwi "bullies", "rogues" and "highwaymen", questioned how many iwi members were on a benefit, and asked why, with no context, it didn't focus on issues like child abuse."

All pertinent questions given the illegal and racist nature of the thugs' actions.

There should be no place for racism in New Zealand, particularly given the handicap New Zealand already suffers because of it's brain-dead voters.

To see it made official disgusts!

Free Speech? Not here mate!

This  is what the current Government (via Mr Little) are preparing for New Zealand.

Resist!

Make the first person you verbally abuse a left-wing pollie, the second a pig.

 

 

Sexuial assault, physical assault.children

 The Headline:

Up to 250,000 estimated to have been abused in state, faith-based care - Royal Commission

The story.

Mainly due to boredom I've been reading a bit about this story.

The numbers, rather than inducing shock/horror, are about what would be expected given that "abuse" appears to include being frowned at, told off, made to study or eat at times not agreeable to the complainants etc. and spread over a long period.

By including these "incidents" the commission makes light of the very serious and nasty sexual and physical assaults that were hidden by officials until recently, genuine horrors that must never be allowed to happen again.

The commission was created to assist the State to protect vulnerable children.

They have failed!

Fire, Road Closure.

 There was a fire in the unpopulated hills in South East Christchurch on Friday night.

A few hectares of scrub, grass and rocks above some storage sheds and houses were burnt.

The fire service contained the fire, then put it out - all on Friday night.

They then closed a well used highway, connecting the port with Christchurch, for all of Saturday until about 19:00 to punish travellers and residents for the fire.

Road Rage? No Wonder!

 Cantabrians More Likely To Experience Road Rage.

That's the headline, you need read no further.

You have a city in Canterbury, making up the vast majority of the population.

That city has deliberately made driving in the city an unpleasant and slow exercise (except for Mr Tarrant, of course, who traversed the city far too quickly for the local constabulary) simply because council bastards, outside their rate-payer limos, are roadlice lovers.

Personally, sick of becoming grumpy every time I venture forth, I now shop in North Canterbury whenever possible - voting with my feet you might say.

Nothing for nothing, even the chicks aren't free.

 Twice now, I have read of Government members mouthing off over a well publicised give-away in Jafaville, including that giant of industry and commerce, the PM.

As an aside this promotional stunt by a previously unknown online company has been a huge success.The name, The Safety Warehouse, will remain in peoples' minds for decades.

Back to the mouthing off; What the fuck has it got to do with them?

Who and what do they think they are?

These incompetent, know-nothing fuckwits were elected to lead the country.

I suggest they learn how to do this rather than play important personages poking their nose into private business practices.

As for the slime who have driven the story of a few something-for-nothing losers not getting what they dreamed of (they certainly were promised nothing) into the headlines, probably to cover up the continuing gross ineptitude of the clowns in power, their performance grows worse by the day.
