Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Kumara Republic,
I was thinking more of the effect of a very large amount of renewable electricity becoming available , and its effect on household outgoings.

Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Chris Waugh,
Synlait warns that its forecast for next year is now $5 kg/MS, revised down from $7.
Meanwhile, Rabobank reports that plunging dairy prices have taken their toll on farmer sentiment, driving New Zealand rural confidence levels to a two-year low.This was the lowest level of dairy farmer investment intentions since August 2009.
Rabobank says the change in investment dynamics may be an early indication the decline in the national sheep flock and the rate of dairy farm conversions are both slowing.
ETA ; just last night I was reading that another bank was predicting payout to fall to the $4 region if the GDT auction prices stay at the present level.
That amounts to quite a few billions that will not be coming into the economy, and a big fall in government tax receipts. -
Cheer up folks.
Behold ! I bring you tidings of great joy (sort of)

Shame about the economy though; it looks like Brian Easton and others were on the money . Get the election done and dusted before it hits the fan.

to contribute in a tangible way to these other pressing issues our planet faces,
I had a choice . The way of the bard was open - but . . . . what to say?
A good enough reason to get some dirt under one's nails, and one does get to eat -eventually. -

rewards reaped for your apology.
Fair enough. It seems far more accidental to me. There was every reason for me to fail- scrambled out of a mortgagee sale in the ’87 crash ; got back on the horse in a public tender in the 90s. It’s just the way the cookie crumbled.
But yeh . . . I’ll take it.
Actually thinking back . . . my luckiest break was being shown the door by the collectivists at Fonterra.
Things like that help to clear the mind of theory ; reality is so cleansing. -

I like that shande fur de goyim schtick you got going there. When was it now . . . towards the end of the second millenium?

r no way back now.
Mark you know as well as I do that there is a way.( Rick just happens to be one of my mates from back then, and I like the song.)
But you’re not going to paint a friggin’ target on your forehead . Are you?
We’re talking about the present pathway, right? No way back on that path.
It's funny , but it was my Dad , 50 years ago who gave me the news; he'd seen one of his mates , innocent , taken down , and he thought that I should know. -

none of you standing idly by have ever spent time in the cells, never been commanded to remove your laces or turn out your pockets,
You'd be wrong there. Being strip -searched leaves a real lasting impression, especially when there's about 20 of them and they're BIG pigs.
