Pretty amazing, the NZ conservatives mount a major attack on Māori and are then intimidated by haka. Snowflakes.

There are a couple of things about battery storage, a grid built on renewables needs ride through capacity and it needs to be able to meet surges in demand. In fact all grids do. Batteries do that and remove the need for hot standby gas generators but at the moment due to lack of capacity, not all fossil fuel generators. A lot of focus is on batteries as the backup for loss of wind or sun, the spread of renewables over a large geographical area and interconnected grids provides greater assurance.

Lots being installed around Australia and are a lot cheaper than gas power generation for covering peaks.

That’s where batteries and other storage systems come into play.

Well the US won’t be exporting to Europe,Canada or Australia as they all demand to know the score.

It seems that the LNP attack on workers rights, especially work from home was a badly received. They don’t resonate with women and are seen as a boys club. Their campaign has been judged to be the worst ever. Their leader is extremely disliked and made the mistake of pretending to be a Trump lookalike. They are trailing against a government that people don’t think deserves to be re-elected.

Given the way voters and non voters work, it’s pretty clear that there was a huge number how voted or de facto voted for him.

So Trump is telling ICE to break the law? It looks like Trump is guilty of another crime.

If someone signs an order that is illegal, aren’t they breaking the law? Shouldn’t they be charged and arrested?

It’s an interesting point, if we get all the 65+ to work till they drop they won’t be around much longer as they will drop like flies freeing up all the housing, pensions etc. Just think, we all would have that in our future and how motivating it would be.

Amazing that so many don’t think that. The media must be working overtime to hide such a mess from so many.

If you are no good at diplomacy then I expect that building a dyke to keep the invaders out would seem worth while. All other presidents seemed to get by without it and history shows that whatever defences you build, some cunning adversaries will find a way around them.

He abuses people hardest to try to force them to submit. It may work with some of his business deals but in international politics with an economic superpower? What a clown.

He did the same with Obama. Such an insecurity syndrome. Truly a petulant child, and people think he’s the man to follow?

Back to Biden. Trump is setting up a kleptocracy like Putin has and Biden looks like a moral beacon by comparison.

Million/billion, the interesting fact is the scale of corporate graft. Paying shareholder’s money to suck up to Trump is really disgusting and any system that allows it is deeply broken.

I thought Trump was expanding it to everyone. Probably including people in other countries he doesn’t like.

Isn’t Trump a convicted criminal? There would be a lot of happier people if they just sent him to El Salvador.

This DEI label which implies bias in favour of minorities over the deserving majority is wrong when it says Trump is purging DEI. What he is doing is purging the majority of Americans, not “white”, female and foreign. A lot more of them than the good old white boys.

It’s time for Europe and the rest of the world to sort out Putin. No time to waste on wasters.

The Morrison government in Australia told all the temporary workers, backpackers, international students, tourists to go home during Covid and Australia is still paying the price of economic dislocation. A lot of these people worked on farms, in cafes, construction, hospitals etc and we had massive problems because him thought they were a burden.
