Trump’s Orwellian Erasure of Women

Looks as if National, Luxon's lot is reading the same playbook as Trump's minions.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

For now.
If these delightful people have their way, then they might remove that right.
Mind you, I'd not like to be in their shoes if they tried such a thing, as much as they may want to.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

Yes, I am a tad sus about any political organisation, and most political ideologies if it comes to that. After all, why would any sensible soul want that job? Doing that stuff? There has to be a catch.
After all, they could be happily at home, playing with crayons, stressfree, and living longer...

Sounds like another Trumper to me, no concern for anyone but themselves, taking everything that the society offers, giving nothing back, somehow believing that all the work that others put in to establish our collective present standard of living is actually just their due and not a debt owned to the society around them.
Willfully scathing possibly the best leader that NZ has ever had and not seeing how she benefited us as a group, claiming this is their freedom of speech rights but at the same time offering nothing to benefit the group not even correct assessments of what they are talking about, just magisterial proclamations about aspects of the country that they have been apparently annoyed by.
No criticism of extreme right wing "Christian" Luxon who has just taken away the rights of our womenfolk to have equal pay for equal work even to negotiate for the right. The usual National effort to run the country by taking money off the poorer group to give to the already richer group.

An international celebrity, much lauded in many nations overseas.

PM Ardern on how NZ will look under the 'traffic light' system - wow what a wonderful Prime Minister we lost and now we have incoherent morons spouting platitudes as they implement the same old National Agenda.
The old fashioned belief that if we are all not heads down arse up then somehow we don't deserve an easy life.
That old 50's belief that we just keep slaving away, even though we have masses of new technology and much greater knowledge we haven't really got ahead of reality we still need to work twice as hard.
Yes but that is so the rich keep fleecing us and they have more money to spend whilst the poor just keep on working harder and the rich ride on our backs to even greater prosperity..

It is almost impossible to exist without someone benefiting 'off' any one of us. That is the very reason we live in communities. Every single unit is of use within that community.

I vaguely remember the antivaxxers having some issues, but most normal people just got on with their lives...
Are you showing us a billboard from an antivaxxy organisation? Not much credibility there.
