In my ignorance I had thought that New Zealand was doing better than that, though I had noticed you sometimes complaining about it. Looks like they have found a similar, but slightly slower than us, way to go to go to hell in a hand basket. My condolences. I know you have given yours to us a couple of times. Small comfort, but we will have to make do with whatever comforts we find.
Sorry to hear you have world-class reactionary idiots in NZ, too! Re MMT, as I’ve heard it explained by proponents back in USA 1.0, the US is (was) the only country that could print money indefinitely without risking grave consequences, i.e. losing 35% of its value against gold in 8 months, from the world markets. It now appears that was an overstatement, as your conservatives are about to find out…
Sorry to hear you folks are going through your own version of a Trump.

Again, you are almost entirely right. Keep it up.
You might appreciate Roger Partridge’s recent post in the Substack Persuasion, “An Open Society Requires Constant Vigilance.”
