I'd rather be a left wing radical than a right wing nut job or worse be a centrist.

Sorry I use "social media" to jot down my thoughts, I don't engage in the social aspect of engagement a lot as it takes a lot of my time to compose my thoughts into words and if I engage in a discussion, most of my day will be gone.

It is the case that without the fuel crisis, yes, we may have been able to have an even tighter allowance, but my view is that we have achieved a great deal by reducing our forecast operating allowance, ensuring that we're building up buffers for the future, keeping New Zealand financially secure."

National debt has massively increased

Services have been cut

Unemployment is up

Under employment is massively up

Families are struggling

The modern Republican Party, folks. They are definitely not OK in Oklahoma.

It took Republicans:
•40 years but they gutted the EPA
•50 years but they repealed Roe v Wad
