Is UBI Really the Answer for New Zealand? Universal Basic Income Explained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Governments around the world are talking about paying you to exist. It's called a universal basic income, and AI is the reason it's back on the table. In this episode I look at what's actually being proposed here in New Zealand and overseas, what the real-world pilots in Finland and Ontario showed, what a land tax looks like from someone who actually holds land, and the part almost nobody talks about: what happens to the relationship between you and your government when your income and your mone
Removing Investors Won’t Fix NZ’s Housing Crisis: Here's Why (opens the original)

Someone commented that developers are deluded and my 695,000 home was a ripoff. Fair enough, I've heard worse.

Power up 12%, council rates up 9%, insurance up 30% in three years, but the official inflation number says 3.1%. Once you understand what's actually happening, you'll stop blaming yourself and start building a life that can't easily be pushed around.
