Everything is going as planned with this government "starve the beast" strategy. They want to destroy the healthcare system so that people will accept privatisation as a possible cure.

The nation as usual is utterly ignorant of what's going on.

I was traveling overseas and I bought a pair of counterfeit adidas pants for 10 bucks or so. I have been wearing this for a while now and in my opinion it's superior the adidas pants I normally buy at rebel sports for 100 bucks or so. The pockets are deeper and the logo is sewn in rather than one of those plasticy stick on things. Also the fabric hasn't pilled yet which happens to my genuine adidas pants rather quickly.

The thing is they look just like the real branded goods, down the the labels inside. You really can't tell them apart except maybe the fabric is a little thinner (which I actually like).

Are there places in NZ where I can buy counterfeit goods? I never realised they would be better than the real things.

Your tax dollars are going to John Key folks. This is how the privatisation of state housing is going.

Sir John Key and other directors of Palo Alto Networks are named in a lawsuit alleging they made false and misleading statements about the company’s products.

Key sold shares in the company last December for more than US$700,000

Key said the ‘copycat’ lawsuits were based on unproven allegations and had no merit.

Surely all these people losing decent paying jobs will have no impact on the economy right? Definitely not a recession right?

Well it's not like National ever lost a minister or had chaos when they were running the government right?

His government will be as stable has he has been. That is wobbling all over the place, saying one thing one day and the opposite the next, and generally being an unlikable, fundamentalist, bigoted prick.
