Hard News: Mike Moore: A pretty ordinary…, in reply to Kumara Republic,
I dont know if I care when the 'turning point' was. These interviewee's arent suffering from their fucked ideas and decisions, but a lot of people still are and probably will for a long time to come.
I'm finding it hard to care about their change of heart. To me it just words they throw out there to try and make themselves look more caring, than they ever acted when they were in power

If Espiner's going for a theme in his interviews maybe it would be looking back with regret. Has he done three? It's all very nice for the interviewee to talk freely
Whatever constrained them before now?But we are living still with the consequences of these interviewee's , now regretted, decisions, choice of political direction.
As welcome as their change of heart is. There were a lot of other voices, for a long time prior, warning against where it would lead.
Do they now think what they did amounts to an abuse of power, or was it just more mind numbing bumbling humanity... -

Big businesses that do govt social work
was never going to be a long lasting solution. And you cant accuse business people of being interested in the long term.
" Make a buck and move on" is more likely to be their motto in recent years.Which has seen govts buy into a flawed business philosophy that has only come into vogue within their echo chamber in recent times.
The faults were so obvious to start with, to actually think in would work even in the short term would have needed heroic amounts of cognitive dissonance.
I mean heroicily idiotic. Cause they are still dishing up the same shit -
limiting the terms of reference of any inquiry
Or to describe it more correctly....
Making sure the shit don't stick.You may not have guessed it, but I have a low opinion of people who do this kind of thing, politicians and others.

; the public wants enclaves , infrastructure, cafes, movie theatres, motor racing, new cars , trinkets etc.
A lot of presumption in that statement, and you taking a dim view of humanity. If anyone or anything is to blame it is the dead end direction we have been set on for the last few decades. I 'm beginning not to care what caused it , just that it needs to be changed and soon.

How does Christie have any credibility as anything now??
Amazing where money and being one-eyed(focus is the buzzword for that)can get you these days

It never was funny, its just some are very good at making jokes around it. Plenty of practice I guess. The fuckedupness really kicked off with Uncle Ronnie.
Its just weird how some USians look back with fondness at that time. I guess they all started building their echochambers about then

Consumers want their sport fix on the go via mobile or on device at home.
Ah the drug analogy, its so right. I can just imagine sport junkies in an alley pumping up a vein with their device ;-)
