@ndrew_lawrence 88% of the power in TX comes from NON green sources. You would expect the Gov to know that already. Also, Scandinavia, hell - even ALASKA - manage to keep green technology operating in far colder conditions. @GovAbbott , you need to go back to school, and learn how to own this.

@ExplorerRowan @TheDebbieMia FWIW, when my daughter died, the pathologist made sure to tell me she had not suffocated. That meant so much back then. But 'this' discovery means even more, because it gives me a credible 'why'. I hope it has a similar effect for other parents grieving their beloved babies.

@notcapnamerica She's right. She gets ready to serve at a medium speed. Not too fast. She should not have to wait for the other person to piss around and try and make her lose momentum. This is top level tennis.

@notcapnamerica She is also pointing out that the Umpire is delaying calling the score, which is when the shot clock (25 sec to serve) kicks in, so her opponent is getting at least an extra 6 - 10 seconds to piss around. Again, it is a deliberate, illegal ploy to interrupt Coco's momentum.

So, now we know. The decision to cancel the ferries was NOT because 'Labours Fiscal Cliffs', given the 7.5Bil @NicolaWillisMP had tucked away in her tea tin on the mantelpiece. We didn't have to cancel that contract. And there no Fiscal Cliffs.

So, @dbseymour we can't afford to repair/replace/rebuild/upgrade buildings desperately needing improvement to keep kids warm, safe & healthy, or add gyms, or offer nutritious food to all kids, but we CAN afford to blow $50,000p.a. PER CHILD on your Charter School fantasy?

The only thing Aotearoa can afford is 14 Billion Dollars of Welfare Handouts for Landlords. No school upgrades, ferries, water/sewage, hospital builds, cycle/walkways. ONLY 14 Billion Dollars for Landlords. @chrisluxonmp & his #CoaDEMOlition say it's @nzlabour 's fault.

And when I ran away, he would chase me down, punch me in the back of the head and make me fall to the ground, then drag me up onto my feet again by the hair, and force me to go home. I didn't scream or yell. I whimpered and begged him to stop. I told my Dad what was happening, 8/

Why are you not aware of the HIGH costs of austerity in the UK, whose children have RICKETS, beaches have raw sewage, and pensioners can't afford proper food, but private companies have record profits? Austerity IMPOVERISHED the UK. It will do the same to Aoteroa. No vision.

Why does @chrisluxonmp never inform himself before speaking out? If someone signs a contract, and then decides they don't want to keep it, that is not 'too much red tape'. It is just poor business practice.

@notcapnamerica My parents had 2 girls, & then our brother was stillborn. Dad's aunty visited Mum & said 'why couldn't it have been one of the girls'? My daughter died of SIDS. A friend's son died of the same. She said her loss was worse, cos he was her 'son' & I already had another daughter.

Ironic that Brooke Van De Velden is not facing a 90 day job trial period, and would only lose her job in an extreme situation, yet tells everybody else that they should just accept the employer's rights. We employ HER. Where are OUR rights?

The 'state house' 'single parent' success - thanks to Labour, who fought for DPB, lower rents, & subsidised education for those parenting alone. His own gov't opposes all of those things, as well as the school lunch program, low cost Public transport, free dental, & fair wages.

16 year olds pay tax. 17 year olds are tried as adults in a court of law. Many kids are full time at school and help with family costs, working two or more jobs in their 'spare time', and they pay their own bills. Wealthy tax-avoiders pay a lower % of tax than these kids.

So, a couple on jobseeker will get 574.70 p.w. $27 grand, more or less, a year, for a family. Luxon: MILLIONAIRE with 7 properties, gets MORE, just to rent his 'own' property from himself, & more for his office. But beneficiaries are the ones treating the taxpayer like an ATM?
