Content warning: NZPol US oligarchs supporting the Right Wing even in Aotearoa

I think this should be off-putting for any self-respecting NZer. The parties should also, perhaps, lose popular support due to their willingness to accept the money. rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/589237

California voters are receiving mailers promoting a 'poison-pill' ballot measure aimed at nullifying a proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaires' assets. The countermeasure, backed by Silicon Valley billionaires including Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, would override the tax even if both pass in November. The clash reflects a broader surge in billionaire political spending, which reached $3 billion nationally in 2024 and is reshaping policy battles at state and federal levels

I want to remind everyone of the Montana Plan - a viable approach to diminish the force of the Citizens United decision.
I myself have written about the power of each separate State to regulate corporations operating under the laws of that state - especially those corporations created under the laws of that state. This means that each state has the power and authority to regulate and restrict how corporations created under that state's laws spend money, and for what purpose.

Transparent Election Initiative - Our Fight Against Corporate Money in Politics
Join our fight for transparent elections. The Montana Plan uses state constitutional authority to keep corporate money out of politics and restore democracy to the people.

After many years as a staunch fence-sitter/political neutral, I voted in two previous political leadership races. The first was the 2020 Green leadership race. I was excited to support a candidate, and was then horrified to find out he was a Russian propagandist claiming to be a ‘anti-imperialist’. You can figure out who that is on your own lol. Have fun :)
The second leadership race I participated in was the BC NDP race that pitted David Eby against Anjali Appadurai.
She was treated horribly, and I would say with fear, by the BC NDP leadership. She could have been a sea change in real social progressive leadership in BC and Canada but was pushed out.
She's working for Avi Lewis’ campaign.

What happens if you offer generous subsidies💰 for Carbon Capture and Storage💨 - but you demand that projects deliver on time⏰?
In recent years, Denmark🇩🇰 has started a fast rollout of CCS technology. Unlike previous attempts, which were met with substantial resistance, this one happened without much opposition. A wide range of political parties supported the plans. 🧵

Denmark's CCS Strategy: Deliver or Pay
In recent years, Denmark pushed CCS technology and ran multiple tenders handing out substantial subsidies. But they came with a catch: either deliver on time or risk hefty penalties. What can be learned from the experiences in Denmark?
