I had a relative who was very pro cutting the public service. Said it was overbloated, lazy, etc. After the cull had reached 6000, I said "how has your life changed now with 6000 fewer public servants?" "It hasn't" they said. "And how do you think their lives have changed?" "Oh" they said.

Greta is playing a game getting us to guess what foreign words mean. She gives us hints when we're struggling. What do you call a cooked chicken, was one such hint. Folks, the answer was chicken.

Bruh we *wanted* [checks notes] prescription charges, inequality, more jobless, decimated health systems, terrible school lunches and more smoking!?!
how can you say no poll will make u resign because you're focused on what new zealanders what, when the poll is telling you what they want?
so this is a hell of a subtweet. it makes our statement being milequetoast-ly supportive of the US clearer, govt doesn't want to upset gas-daddy at a time when they have shown no economic plan and are desperate for something - anything - to take into the election. remember kids, always be craven.
