Just... why?!?
This is being driven by a government-mandated "cloud first policy", despite the fact that as well as reducing control over services and data, putting servers in the "cloud" almost always ends up being more expensive than any other way of hosting servers.
Just... why?!?

Can we please, please, just decriminalise all personal use of drugs (including home growing/ processing for personal use), and get rid of the racist prohibition system the Misuse of Drugs Act continues to maintain?
"But while the overall numbers are down, the discrimination has increased. For the first time, Māori now make up more than half of drug prosecutions."

So it's a no-brainer to abolish user-pays prescriptions, as the current government just did.
No sensible political party would campaign on putting that $5 charge back in place, right?
Oh.

Even if it's a protest vote for a party that probably (or definitely) won't get 5%. Make sure the politicians who do get elected know what policy platforms you support.
Even if you're an anarchist and don't really support representative government at all (like me), vote anyway. In the short term, control of Parliament affects people's lives for better or worse.
Not voting helps capitalists buy the government they want.

2501 followers · 26015 posts · Server mastodon.nzoss.nzI've been thinking that if I want the country to have a progressive coalition government (finally) for the next 3 years, I need to do 2 things;
1) Stop sniping at parties that will no be needed for that coalition to have a majority, and focus on what I like about them
2) Policy, policy, policy! The right will always win a campaign based on fear of the Other. I need to figure on policies I support, and compare and contrast the policy positions of the various parties

If only the USA was so inclined!
I really don’t know how you Americans put up with the shit your government doesn’t do for you — and you just sit there like a quietened child and take it — you are weak people!

Prices on #metlink go up on 1 Sept, but you can still save by buying a #snapper pass.
My daily train fare is going up from $2.76 each way (5 zones) to $5.52.
A 30 day pass is increasing from to $82.80 to $165.60(!)
Assuming I travel in to the office 3 days per week / 12 times in Sept, that’s $132.48 at the new fare rate (paying per trip). A 30 day pass, bought and activated before 1 Sept will save me $49.68. Not bad.
