Whenever a bad poll comes out all the MPs of the bad poll party sound like the knights who say "Ni!"

A lot of these men were telling on themselves the entire time. But for some reason they kept getting the benefit of the doubt.

(Note that the OP was one of the few journalists not handling these men, and their companies, with kid gloves)

It's all part of the madness of people in the 1980s saying: "We should use GAME THEORY!"

The idea of running the electricity generation/transmission system for the greatest good was basically how the UK CEGB operated until it was privatised.

Now: "Marginal pricing. And...GAME THEORY!"

I agree. The β€œprice at the marginal bid” system sort of made sense at privatisation but has been making electricity unnecessarily expensive for many years.

It’s never a great sign when a company thinks they need to make β€œdon’t be evil” their motto.

Or when a company says they want to β€œmove fast and break things.”

I saw some US political people with similar mis-sizing, so maybe it's a fashion on the right?

Just taught some teens outside the bottle-o a very important life lesson: yes, I will buy you hard liquor if you ask nicely, but I will also get out $500 cash on your dads card that you just told me the pin of.

I see NZ has supplied the latest edition of "American posters on Bsky don't realise other countries exist and have elections"

My sis had a Tefal thing that dispensed instant hot water into your cup without needing to lift a jug, but it was a bit scary
