At some point moderate Republicans are going to see the demands of Democrats as less extreme than that of their extreme bloc.
The idea that Republicans could work with Democrats again would create a fundamental shift away from what's empowered this group.

McCarthy is in, with the position has been stripped of its power. Borderline ceremonial now, at the beck and call of a tiny bloc of members.

CO2 - now that's a much bigger worry. Luckily, I have switched to Pinot, and ordered in several cartons of Antipodes sparkling. I fear for the beer drinkers, the pubs and anyone with a high tech hydroponic setup... Oh and people who need surgery. |

Is it the role of politics to ensure CO2 supply? What about Onitsuka Tigers, can't get them in NZ any more either. Damn neolibs!

So Todd group owns the factory/plant that has been shutdown for safety reasons. Other investments in the richest family in the country's portfolio: several wineries.
That's how you get to be the richest family in the country! |

my brother in Christ, investing in wineries is not a way to get rich. That’s something you do when you’re already rich and are looking for a fun way to get slightly less rich.

This is an interesting article, a similar dynamic plays out here to a lesser degree:

Yeah, as an outsider, it seems like it must be easier to see how 2 faced the republicans are.
The exact same thing benefiting them is glorious and the best thing in the world, but against them is evil. But then it really seems like Democrats can't handle it. Do they fear a backlash, which republicans don't seem to fear as much? Do they think they have to meet in the middle to at least get some of their own way rather than nothing at all, where the republicans would go for it all? |

Colour me unsurprised. Hutt council are a bunch of entitled windbags trying their best to live off the reflected glory (lol) of the Greater Wellington Regional Council. There's other stories similar to this around, as well as stories where mates mysteriously have their interests looked after.

Xi Jinping and 'dear friend' Putin agree that 'change is coming' in final exchange in Moscow
It's one thing to be corrupt and steal the wealth of your country for your own personal benefit - I think this happens everywhere. However, when the USA does it, it directly affects the entire world, having the global reserve currency. The USA cannot [or is unwilling to] repay its debts ($31 trillion+). Its banks are underwater. Banking as a whole is on a knife edge with all the "cleverness" that's been introduced into the system where profits could be made and wealth created/extracted by taking calculated risks. These risks paid off, until they didn't, and now the USA has been caught with their pants down. I'm not taking sides and being pro-China or pro-Russia, I'm just anti-theft and anti-corruption, and if those Chinese and Russian leaders want to mistreat and steal from their own citizens, that's for their citizens to deal with. It definitely does feel like change is coming. Although I don't expect the USA to give up without a fight (if they can afford to pay their troops). Do you think it would be a good thing for the USA to lose the privilege of being able to print endless currency? Do you expect the BRICS system to be successful? Do you expect things will devolve into a World War? I'd be interested to hear what you guys think. We all see the world through a different lens, so what are you guys seeing?

That's literally how free speech works.
There's no such thing as speech without restrictions.

False summary aside, it's ultimately defined through legislation. Of which isn't fixed.

I think you’ll find that speech in a public place by a member of the public about the concerns of an oppressed group is the sort of speech given the most protection.

Yeah? That's an aside to whether what they are saying could be considered hateful. Women aren't being oppressed by transwomen having rights in NZ.

Tolerance of speech is a social contract. If your speech is to advocate intolerance, you're breaching that contract and can't expect your speech to be tolerated.
