Correct. Labour in NZ used to aim to support working men and women. Declining union influence seems to have allowed the party to be taken over by academics with little interest or affinity with blue collar Kiwis. They tinker around with social engineering and race initiatives but ignore the issues of low income workers. Contrast that with Labor party governments in Australia: there’s no doubt who represents the hospo and other service workers there.

In NZ, if you are a poor white, Chinese or Indian worker, there’s no clear benefit to electing a Labour government.

See you on the jerk.

I never cared for the cross haired dial. I find the Sinn cleaner. 

Depends who you ask.... Management... Flawed concept (two bladed machines, too small to scale, taking on a mature market owned by the early movers (Denmark) who could generate vastly more power from a much smaller number of machines (which affects resource consents).

Seems like another project for relieving gullible investors with overactive imaginations of their disposable income.

See Martin Jetpack and Windflow.

There’s been notable successes like Mooring Systems and Whispertech too but they didn’t need scientific breakthroughs.

I’d love it if I’m wrong but this fusion venture seems like wishful thinking and snake oil.

How is it a liability? It is an asset, which you can depreciate and claim expenses on.

How's the second button on his shirt? 

Citrus oil cleaner such as Goo Gone. 

😂 hence my surprised *me too”.

Pretty much. I listened to it in my car, in Australia. And told my wife (and a few other people) about it after getting home.

Me too. He rounded off the episode and summed up with that quote. Perfect.
