'Wealth, pleasure and abundance through accepting technology'

..no thanks. Give me conservation values, empathy, fun and deep conversations. As to NZ government and draconian measures (such as lockdown which coincided with my 70th birthday) the only upside was less pollution from technology more birdlife abundant around and neighbours sharing fruit and veges.

In SF lockdown was a horror and the economy crashed hard. And remains crashed. MY neighbors are urbanites with incredible fear. I see enough people wearing face masks in public now to be disturbed.

I don't know who that Health Forum is.

I assume bogus.

Government. You have to scan QR for PDF. But here I believe is PDF.

The link that you have in this comment is the NZ Govt, but although this is linked via barcode on your post's item, the actual item in your post is not NZ Govt.

Health Forum does not appear to be NZ Government, but I assume a group causing upset and claiming legitimacy by linking to an NZ government doc.

Ok. If true-I assume true-I reckon I'd be upset. Legitimation claim presumably rests upon the Gov. Doc. Bird Flu insanity is rampant. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/517678/nz-must-be-prepared-for-bird-flu-experts-say-as-australia-confirms-first-human-case

We really need Richard Seager to chime in here.

He has researched some of those perps.

Come on Richard, where are you.

I think has left Substack. I sent him a piece by messaging on his nemesis Sasha a couple weeks ago and no response.

He was going to Russia.

Hope he's not doing hard labour in Siberia.

Same criminals in charge again.

NZers have been glued to the tube since The Flintstones.

Some wonder what's going on but trust the science and experts still.

The kiwi is a flightless bird with poor vision and is easy prey.

( I never use the term to refer to myself.)

We shall see.
