Hard News: Some Lines for Labour, in reply to bmk,
All it needs though is a journalist or opposition MP to raise this matter but sadly I am not expecting to see it raised.
Actually it's one topic I'm confident they will raise. Just not necessarily communicated as well as you suggest.

how are things going to be when we come out the other side?
Impoverished, in a word. Building more roads won't help. Cutting research and education funding like this government have done for the last couple of years is just nuts, especially when other nations have invested more during the downturn so they come out of the blocks faster. Any competent opposition should dine out on that.

make you more comfortable as you walk
Mainly sitting down during day. No significant difference in physical sensation or I would have noticed leaving the house.
Confirmation bias is quite an effect.
I know but I'm confident that's not it. Not at all interested in tinkering with what I know has worked for me for many years and makes a big difference in my life just to soothe anyone else's skepticism. If the medical industry wants to arrange research they're welcome.

slam the state of the economy
What I'd mainly like to hear is a way out of the mess. A better future. Hope.

highlighting areas of stupid spending (please start with their pork-barrel, I mean transport, policy)
Surely the left can join the dots between wasting money building big roads at the expense of funding public transport alternatives when petrol will never be cheaper. And spell out what sustainable transport means for our children and grandchildren. And refute the lie that building highways creates many jobs, even for the favoured pig farmers.

We all know people who react to real meds differently, and they're well tested.
Are they still commonly tested only on men?

If you want to know if it really works for you, it's not hard to test if you blind yourself somehow.
Accidentally left insoles out of shoes a few times spaced over a couple of years. In each case, noticed difference in fatigue during the day before I spotted what I'd done. Interesting.

it is some other mechanism
Agreed. Perhaps something more to do with energy in the body.

fish oil
There's an example of something I'd like to see funded. Great natural anti-inflammatory known for centuries but competing with lucrative pharma equivalents with side effects.

assumed that everyone else was also enjoying an unseasonably warm may
That's true for some regions according to a TV1 news story tonight.
Georgina Griffiths from Niwa told ONE News: "We've had temperatures three degrees or more above the main normal for the North Island, West Coast, and Nelson-Marlborough."
Twelve centres have broken record May temperatures, including Hokitika, which was 26.7 degrees on May 1.
Meteorologists say it all comes down to northerly winds, bringing humid, subtropical air to New Zealand, which are a key feature of the La Nina weather system.
