    Off topic but who is going to vote TOP so they can get over the 5% and hopefully join the coalition of the left. [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in …

  2. Comment on Greens launch plan to break up the supermarket duopoly and bring down the price of food

    By: richard -

    According to chatgtp its not such a great idea. It would only raise 400 to 450 million not the 1.5 to 2 billion to remove gst from veg meat poultry fish and dairy. We could replace parliament with AI and that would save another 200 million.

  3. Comment on Greens launch plan to break up the supermarket duopoly and bring down the price of food

    By: richard -

    I don’t think it will make much difference to the average grocery bill. I think one of the major problem is we pay the same price for NZ products as farmers can get for export. The more world food shortage the better prices for farmers but not so good for …

  4. Comment on We owe a great debt to Grant Robertson

    By: Richard James -

    I was at a Bats gig the other night, and there was Grant Robertson minding his own business in the audience. I’m not sure whether nobody noticed him, or whether people were just giving him some room. How many other politicians of national significance …

  7. Comment on What the Aratere Grounding Means

    By: Richard Bruce -

    Considering the “Megaferries” were each BIGGER TONNAGE than “TITANIC” cancelling was a sane move! AT 40 M longer than existing boats Manovering in the sounds could be CRAZY! & considering the grounded ferry had JUST HAD NEW STEERING! what muppets do we …

    By: Richard -

    I was 18 when Kirk died. I still think this was a real ‘sliding doors’ moment for NZ. What Muldoon have still won in 1975 – against Kirk ? Not in my view. Kirk had a lot of gravitas, he really suited the position of PM. Would Muldoon have been ditched by …

  9. Comment on Dog whistling climate change

    By: Julian Richards -

    Very good point of direction to look at…? Who/what/when and why controls the mining/profits of our data? Are these algarhythms or structures of the new colonialism of our times as we progress further and further away from the natural world into the …

  10. Comment on What repeat covid infections do to the human body

    By: Julian Richards -

    How are “the unvaccinated non-boosted dragging us down”??? Are you STILL not aware you can and will most likely contract and transmit this virus even with the Mrna injections? The real question should be what does repeated injections do to the human body? …

    By: Richard -

    Drive all privately owned banks out of business by taxing banking at 100%. All profits from banking should go into the public purse. People will have to move their accounts from the other banks to KB, if the others are no longer there. Banking is political …

  12. Comment on About Gaurav Sharma

    By: Richard -

    Everyone needs to have a breather and a cup of tea. Really? In the circumstances a little more proactivity seems warranted. Bullying has no place in a modern workplace

    And the 60% hospitalised whom were vaccinated, how does your rational work with them?

    By: Julian Richards -

    Soundsplash? Oh right that was the #antivax crowd spreading it to the vaccinated crowd.

  16. Comment on Open mike 12/03/2022

    By: Julian Richards -

    Since AUGUST 21ST 2021- 29% of what you frame as “the cowardly selfish super spreader antivaxers should be ashamed of themselves” account for all hospitalised (not including exempt). So what about the remaining majority, doesn’t that make them the ‘super …

    Your perceived reality is starting to rumble, shake and crack. It’s okay.

    Sweet dreams… ❤️ “As long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I’ll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the …

    “sounds as deep and meaningful as a bumper-sticker about the meaning of life.” Step aside from in front of the sun. “Throw away your mobile phone and don’t go anywhere they can see and track you to protect your personal health or vice versa, to protect …

    And now coming all the way back around to the original point. ‘Data is the new gold standard’. That we don’t recognise, yet.

    By: Julian Richards -

    It’s a sign of the extreme disconnect in society when people trust horse treatments rather than listen to basic medical advice To use your own words above… You’re still pushing that shit! #Stromectol

  22. Comment on Open mike 09/03/2022

    By: Julian Richards -

    Maybe you’re right? Both the Oxford trial on efficacy and ‘real world’ study from Brazil looking at effectiveness, have no value at all. May rock the boat of augmented reality we’re all clinging to too much? Nothing to see, look away, back to meta kids.

    By: Julian Richards -

    What are you babbling on about now? Stay on topic. Do we need our ph data/location tracked under the ‘guise of public health’?No we don’t.

  24. Comment on Daily review 09/03/2022

    By: Julian Richards -

    That old line(thought)… Its for your protection. We need to be tracked and monitored for public health purposes? The rhetoric is sounding more and more like industrial farming by the day.

    You enjoyed the cancel joke… It’s all the rage at present, I knew you’d love it “has been more thoroughly studied against covid than ivermectin”. Really? Please do provide the ‘evidence’, because it seems to be blurred more and more for ‘some reason or …

    “so what”? “insufficient evidence” A gamble was taken by us all in the greatest real-time human experiment! I’m vaccinated. And I’m very concerned we were all duped by the least trusted company in the least trusted industry in modern times, with government …

    Will this end up being the scandal of the century? “regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates,” based on an observational study of 159,561 residents …
