I like feijoa flavour but I've never had like, a whole rear end feijoa. What's their deal, do you eat them like an apple or is it a horrible pomegranate situation?

Or, if you are a kid, you rip 40 of them apart and claw the flesh out with your teeth, and then puke everywhere after dinner.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/election-2023/494590/national-claims-labour-s-tax-policy-will-remove-gst-on-fruit-and-vegetables I've heard that these rumours from a couple of weeks ago are apparently true, Labour's tax policy is GST off fruit and veg. Robertson and Parker wanted a wealth tax and this is what Hipkins is doing instead.

Labour putting forward good policy as they work in coalition with a progressive left wing party? Well they're catering to the center so we'd better get Seymour in to really stick it to them. You're deluded.

Wtf you can't live off fruit and veg alone and lol if you don't think the difference won't just go straight into the supermarkets pockets. We need to take our money back from the rich, this bullshit is basically giving the rich more money we could be using. Besides, it's a lovely way of trying to achieve what they want - what if you don't like fruits and veg? What if you don't have time to take all those fruits a veg and make a nice meal every day? Why not take gst off all food without this moralistic paternalistic bullshit about the "right" way to eat and the "good" food you should be eating. klen dool fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Aug 10, 2023 |

Ignoring whether GST off fruit + vege is a good policy, announcing the thing National already leaked is a sure fire way to make a lot of commentary about it being leaked rather than the policy itself.

i will give feijoas this - they are the least capitalist of all fruit. probably because most everyone correctly recognises they have no monetary value.

Remember when labour pit in a fuel subsidy and it didn't immediately get eaten by the petrol companies? Wait, poo poo. Ok, how about rent subsidies that don't immediately cause landlords to raise rent by the same amount? No? Ok, we'll take gst of veggies. This time surely the capitalists won't take advantage of it to make more profit, improving nothing for everyday people.

carrionman posted:Remember when labour pit in a fuel subsidy and it didn't immediately get eaten by the petrol companies? Um, yes? Petrol dropped from like $3 to $2.30ish when the subsidy came in and went up again when it ended. Maybe the petroleum companies kept some of it too idk but I definitely saved an appreciable amount of money because of it

Supermarket companies have already gone into expectation management saying they will have to keep about 30% of the difference.

I'd be happy to be wrong though.

GST is a regressive tax anyway, shouldn't exist at all. Get rid of all the means testing and regressive taxes and just tax corporate profits and capital gains, and have price controls on staple foods and rent. Easy peasy, will never happen in a million years and we're going to decend into climate fascism, hooray.

retail stores wouldn't raise margins to return to the established price point...! the price is purely reflective of their costs...!
