I'm almost certain to be voting Green this election, unless something weird happens.
They aren't perfect, I don't agree with every policy, but I agree with the broad thrust of their politics, and I think most of their policies are pretty good.

This group has been lobbying the political parties and looks like NZ First has used lots of their talking points for the health policy. Several of the advisors for this group were “Plan B” advocates when it came to the Covid response.

COVID-19 took over the planet and it wasn't intelligent at all.
"AI" isn't intelligent, it's just dangerous and malicious, like a deadly virus propagated for profit by amoral billionaires.

Him: but they’re so nice about your books!

I'm so glad I never gave #framework my money. Dodged a Nazi bullet. I would have learned about #omarchy and then *hated* the machine I was using. I wouldn't even be able to give it away in good conscience.
