These closures are obviously devastating for the workers concerned and their families and communities. 😭
It’s also very bad for local food production and reducing dependence on imports, just when the cost of fuel is sky-rocketing - not good timing.

@simplicitarian this is definitely a worry 😢
@drwalters It’s also hard to imagine that part of Ōtepoti without the smell of burnt coffee 🤷🏻♀️
Rochelle@simplicitarian 100% I’ve already spoken on here about living not far from there 😄
So sad to think of the people losing their jobs 😕
Stupid government. A chunk of me believes it wouldn’t have closed if the economy had been run by someone else…but I’ve accidentally wandered off into #NZPOL. Maybe it would have happened anyway 🤷🏻♀️
@heyrochelle @drwalters Well, cost of living crisis isn’t helped by the current lot, and it means people buy the cheapest options, and those are often imported from countries with cheaper labour costs 🤷🏻♀️
