How come government doesn’t improve our economy?
When we continue to spend our money on stupid stuff, we get a dumb country. New Zealand politics is now in perpetuity going to be dominated by massive disaster funding and rebuilds. Last week it announced a ‘national resilience plan’ with $6 billion attached, in…
