A quick look at unemployment in NZ. It’s risen to 5.3% with 160K unemployed. I’m old enough to remember pre-Rogernomics when there was next to no unemployment. Jobs aplenty. Of course they would have us believe that from Rogernomics onwards (4.06 min) everybody just got lazy (the unemployed are typically demonized because it’s commonly assumed that none of them ‘want to work’). No mention of the plebs at the top selling off the family silver … whittling away our sovereignty. All very necessary for the (not) great reset. Owning nothing and being happy.

“We are at present working discreetly, with all our might, to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.”                                                       
Arnold Toynbee – International Affairs, p.809, November 1931

Meanwhile Luxon and friends (more than 20 MPs) are renting back their own homes at the taxpayer’s expense (some of whom are working two and more jobs to feed their families). Luxon and one other have also purchased offices which they lease back to Parliament for use as an electorate base. Nice. A tax-payer funded accommodation allowance of up to $45K pa and salaries of $3-500K are not enough to survive on perhaps? Let ‘them’ eat cake is it?

Travelling about Enzed of late I’ve had convos with various folk on the state of affairs here. Anecdotal yes, but indicative of what’s happening out there. A rural supermarket checkout cashier told me that as folk leave they’re not being replaced (in commenting on the self serve option which I also noticed is everywhere, Warehouse included). Perhaps, like the pollies, the supermarkets aren’t managing to maximise their profits either? They are doing better than their US counterparts though … apparently.

Another supermarket worker (same supermarket) told me they’d sold up in Auckland and have a freehold rural house now. Driving to and from work in Auckland was too stressful. Now no stress.

Then, a convo with a man at a WOF station … he said the same as the first supermarket woman. Staff are not being replaced as they leave. The day I was there they were two down in staff. ‘Two down’ is not uncommon to hear these days. I’ve heard this from auto repair garages, and the spectacles service I use. “We’re sorry” they say, apologetically, “we’re short staffed at the moment…” Of course folk are away sick aren’t they? Or had you not noticed?

I recently had my first up close observations of the ‘safe & effective’ fallout. One young man in his 30s coerced to drink the Kool Aid was suffering in ICU from Myocarditis, Pneumonia, breathlessness, pain, you name it. Horrific. They also told him regularly that he was dying, until his family asked them to desist. I suppose they don’t teach the white coats about the power of words at Med School? I expect by now that they can confidently tell people they’re going to die having observed for 5 years the slim chances of surviving the ‘safe and effective’?

Then there is the 74 year old I know who has Parkinsons, a formerly fit and healthy guy … who is healthy no more. Consigned now to a care home. There are even more I know of in my smallish circle, but from afar.

So really it’s no surprise is it that businesses are down in staff numbers?

But not to worry, we have AI now remember? Such fortunate timing isn’t it?! No wonder they’re not replacing staff!

“It Is Destined To Happen This Way” [ EXPOSED BY INSIDER ]

I wonder how many of the unemployed are ‘safe and effective’ injured? (Two years back Luxon was insisting cancer patients could work 10 hrs a week).

Buta never mind, they’ll be rolling out robots next. And you folk will be twiddling your thumbs in those tight knit 10 minute (not) smart cities they’re preparing for you. Speaking of, I notice they are springing up like mushrooms on warm humid days. In tiny communities too! Whole blocks of thirty and more houses. Security cams everywhere I’m told.

Meanwhile folk are being laid off world wide and the long talked about monetary crash inches forward day by day.
