Did you know that close to 25% of the New Zealand population now realise that the risks from Covid have been overblown? And that close to 20% understand that those risks were overblown for less-than-admirable reasons? Those numbers have essentially doubled from 10 months ago. By my calculations, that’s close to 400,000 additional adult New Zealanders over the past 10 months who have been self-honest, humble and perceptive enough to concede that yes, the Covid mitigation measures being ever foisted upon us are not only unnecessary, they are not even for our society’s net benefit. And by my calculations, its closer to an additional 600,000 adult New Zealanders who have been at least smart enough to recognized the BS around the supposed dangers of Covid that our leaders (and their chosen “experts”) would have us accept make living with it so totally intolerable. Were you one of those self-honest enough, humble enough, smart enough individuals?

Job listings reveal Amazon is working in stealth on an own-brand digital currency.

Amazon is laying the groundwork for a new digital currency for use on its own platforms and marketplaces, new job listings suggests.

The e-commerce and cloud computing giant put out a call for talent to join its Digital and Emerging Payments (DEP) division, which is in the process of developing a system whereby customers in emerging markets can “convert their cash into digital currency”.

“[Using the currency], customers can enjoy online services including shopping for goods and/or services like Prime Video,” wrote the firm.
