We have to social engineer the population into having children the same way social engineering was utilised to slow population growth in the late 20th century. Importing a foreign population to replace the workforce is not a viable long term solution, especially when expats take much of the revenue generated back home instead of reinvesting into the local economy.

Ooooof

It never fails to amaze me that the leftie populace is just shocked here when the right leaning governments attempt to cut spending. 

Lowering IR too early is the worst thing we can do long term rn with out struggling economy, and I subscribe to the Austrian model. I'm broke and struggling but we have to tough this out for a bit.

Don't worry gang, I'll leave a comment here when I buy Nvidia so yall know to short it.

As a you g kiwi, you absolutely better believe I'm getting tf out of here while I can.

Keynesians 💀

I'm not one of those bears, but this has to be a bubble, surely.

Just my two cents, but as an avid VR user the Quest 3 is just better value for money. Unless you specifically want it to look like a bug man, go the Q3.

Who could have guessed that moneyprinting ourselves a brand new WW2 level of debt could result in this?

And of course, quietly corrupt NZ has reviewed itself and found, nothing needs to be changed! 💀

What is with the weird, western democracy trend of importing foreign workers, instead of encouraging their populations to have children. We began population control messaging across the board in the 80s, and now all it is doing is worsening the approaching demographic crisis that has already hit Russia and is currently hitting China. It's short term thinking to carry on as we are.

This country is far to dependent on its housing market

All I can say is thank goodness the libertarians got elected, even if it is in coalition. Tories are pretty much labour at 0.5x speed so, ACT can hopefully make them genuinely right leaning.

Yeah unsurprisingly. We had the most expensive food prices in the anglosphere comparatively before the coof. I don't even want to know what that ratio is today.
