Also he is really loving old, the decisions he would make in parliament won't affect him for that long. Politicians shouldn't be older than 40 I reckon.

An article titled "The Mega Rich Have Found an Unlikely New Refuge" (hint: it's NZ) reached the front page on HN. If you enjoy reading comments from armchair economists in the US "startup crowd" about the state of our housing market, you're in for a treat.

There are dozens of p manufacturing labs up here that the police know about but they just get told to leave them due to lack of funding.

And then on finding out he was covering politics he took a bunch of stimulants and binge-watched Fox News to find out how it was done.

I've also talked to someone who did some work with family planning up here and they were like "uh, why aren't we doing the most basic poo poo imaginable in the far North since they have all these social and health problems" who also got told that there's just no funding available for that. Billions for new prisons to house all the Maoris after the fact is fine apparently, but relative chump change for police and preventative health up North? Nah.

It's super frustrating too in that a lot of the (white) people who live up there are racist and say that any help for Maori is money wasted and then their next sentence will be about how bad employment/crime/health etc is up there without a shred of awareness.

Hey folks I actually toxx claused for Hillary thinking it was a complete gimmie. My time on this plane with you all is nigh I am not even kidding, this election result may bring me back and closer to you all sooner than I really ever imagined. It fits with me too a little more because I have finished my training in junior web development and I am good enough with people Ive landed my first gig as a paid teaching assistant for a short-term while I look for opportunities. I am going to be looking for opportunities in Wellington and Dunedin after talking it over with my SO in the morning, who went fast asleep under the complete confident impression that Hillary was going to be elected like 538 was saying etc. etc. at my encouragement, and is going to have a hell of a thing to wake up to like most of America shits actually reasonably real in NZ too but I just cant even rn <3 Im probably just gonna buy a new account with a new name and fresh hist to return back here btw Jacobin fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Nov 9, 2016 |

In the event that Trump wins, can I have a reminder who has a nuke pointed at NZ? Even if it's a 'Lob one so they don't feel missed out' nuke, it still counts. f.e: Also in a somewhat related manner, I'm considering getting lessons in survival training. Anyone know a good fellow?

According to the movie Wargames NZ only gets hit with one, fired from somewhere near Antartica, if this makes anyone feel better/worse about our place in the world Looks like Wellington too so I'll be the first off this gay earth while the rest of you suckers get to stick around

Also I'm not so much for Kung Fu as figuring out how to get food and water once we lose the ability to import poo poo.

For decades Soviet Russia intentionally produced incorrect maps to confuse the advancing enemy and their reconnaissance We need to start by building on the long unintentional history of New Zealand being left off of world maps. Furthermore we need to prepare a Plan B to rename all of our desirable places such as "Hot Water Beach" and pleasant, tropical sounding Maori parks and placenames back into names like "Disappointment Bay" and "Starving Shepherds castaway". Furthermore Flight of the conchords, movies such as hunt for the wilderpeople, these all need to retroactively edited and replace with Australian slang and australian placenames to distract anyone who would seek to flock to NZ in an emergency with the perception of it as a safe, bountiful place None of this will help you grow food or otherwise, if the dairy's aren't stocking a good mince and cheese by the time I am back then its to the Kung Fu container and grabbing what I can

Whats the best thing that could happen here? I'm thinking US dollar tanks so I can get good poo poo on amazon for cheap, then they split america into 2 bits, all middle bit and Alaska can be USA, the sides can be like part of canada or something. Then build a big wall around it

I think our best scenario is that China shelters our economy from the US tanking like it did during the financial crisis, and the Republicans manage to keep Trump from pouring too much gasoline on the fires in the Middle East.
