What's fairly annoying about the nz greens plans for revenue is the idea that big is bad. Small to mid sized firms and operators - small scale landlords, provincial gentry supermarket or maccas owners - aren't more virtuous or less worthy of taxing than big firms

California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like: • counting bumblebees one by one • rebuilding woodrat stick huts • hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat

In politics there's often a lot of hype about the youth vote, but support from older people is typically far more impactful because they're much more likely to turn out. At the 🇳🇿 2023 election, over one third of voters were 60+. That share should be nearly half by the 2070s.

GST is very very close to reaching literally all consumption. I always knew we were kind of an outlier on this but living in the UK it was crazy how much of politics was concerned with differentiating their version for various bits of consumption

Me: So the market gets a little volatile when the 10-year Treasury goes above 5% and oil is more than $100. My kids: Can mom take us to school from now on?

I showed my hairdresser my wedding dress and he was like, wow I did NOT think you were this cool.

I have a friend who is constantly impressed by anything remotely non-nerdy about me. Could not believe I played the guitar. The fact that I go to indie shows floored her. She must have thought I was the most boring person alive when we first met

Interviewers are asking themselves “do I want to deal with this person everyday for years?” If you can’t even pretend to be bothered to try to be likable, that’s a valid disqualification.

We need an option that's like "both equally" but with a negative inflection, like both sides are behaving in bad unsympathetic ways.
