As someone from neither place - I'm guessing it didn't strike a nerve, so much as it struck a funny bone.

There's just something ludicrous about the phrasing.

This except the last panel is "I dunno, seemed like you were having a nice hot shower."

That's awesome, having a fun job adds years to your life.

Not sure why it didnt occur to me that electrician training could lead to stuff like that.

I think you're right.

It's quite baffling to me. After a certain point, wealth hoarding is no more beneficial than hoarding old newspapers. And they're ruining lives and destroying the planet for that?

That's so cool! Electricity is interesting anyway but even better, you get to know your work is saving lives.

Well that comment was a rollercoaster. I was excited by "it's excellent" and then deflated by "the same showrunners" because of what happened to GOT.

At this point surely all the incel murders are copycats of their early/OG homocidal incels like Eliot Rodger.

That building sounds horrendous.

How did you get into the fire alarm systems industry? Sounds intriguing.

Yeah. It's so weird.

It's also another example of putting ideology over practicality. Even before they got in, we already had a drag on our healthcare system because of the lifelong effects of our unusually high rate of child respiratory infections and rheumatic fever.

The downstream effects of these new policies are not going to be pretty.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear then. I think it's flu vaccinations for under 12s not the essentials. So far.

It's honestly beginning to feel like this government specifically wants to hurt children for some reason.

Abolishes free vaccinations for children

Issues a decree that sick kids should go to school and infect each other

Abolishes food in schools

Abolishes requirement for trained supervisor in ECEs

Cuts disability funding to carers of disabled children

Cuts 9% of Oranga Tamariki staff

Cuts 8% of Education staff

That's what I thought at first. I watched too much Wellington Paranormal.
