"The coalition government is exploring the potential sale of its stake in the telecommunications lines company Chorus after investing in the rollout of ultrafast broadband."
#MorningReport, 2025
Good to see Peters has found his spine again for long enough to attack selling off chunks of essential infrastructure as the clueless nonsense it is. But I bet the Greens' criticism is a bit more fact-based. "Failed to fix the economy fast enough" my arse.

" #Socialdemocracy cannot serve as a true alternative to #capitalism. It appears attractive on the surface but is built upon deep contradictions that eventually collapse under their own weight.

In US first, #NewMexico launches #free #childcare for all
Saturday NM became the first #US state to offer free child care to all residents in a bid to boost its #economy & lift #education & #ChildWelfare levels…
NM Gov Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) told reporters #child #care was "the backbone of creating a system of support for families that allows them to work, to go to college, to do all the things they need to do to continue to lift New Mexico out of #poverty."

Under the program, #families, regardless of income, can receive #state #vouchers to cover #public & #private #childcare fees. It culminates efforts #NewMexico has made to expand access to #free #child #care since the governor & state legislature created the Early Childhood #Education & Care Department in 2019.
The launch comes as other #Democratic-run states, cities & counties eye a step popular among working families.
Our festival's keynote: “Realizing the Promise of #OpenScience: Advancing Global Progress Amid Persistent Challenges”

She’ll explore progress, challenges, and how #inclusive, #ethical, and #sustainable open science can drive solutions to global issues.
These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of public schools as we know them.

Federal workers are being told to spread GOP propaganda:
"At 9:35 am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out-of-office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats."

"“My jaw dropped when I read it,” says an SBA employee... they worried that if someone actually used the email template, it “would be a blatant violation of the Hatch Act.”
...
“It feels like coerced speech where the #government is forcing employees to spread its #propaganda in communicating with the #public,” says Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy"

Deutsche Bahn (DB), a state-owned company under control of the gov of #Germany, is telling me when i try to buy a ticket or to log in (!) that "Your browser's behavior resembles that of a bot."
Suggestion is:
- change browser (!)
- change network (!!!)
or
"If you are using a VPN client, anonymization tool, [iOS stuff], or third-party antivirus software, please temporarily disable it."
#German gov. suggests giving up on privacy protection?
-> DPA complaint?
At around 9AM on Friday, three guests at Hotel Captain Cook, a four-star hotel located 20 mins from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage where leaders from the #US & #Russia convened, found the documents left behind in one of the hotel's #public printers. NPR reviewed photos of the documents taken by one of the guests, who NPR agreed not to identify because the guest said they feared retaliation.

In Finland, charging fees for tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids, which means rich families had to make sure the schools the kid went to were good, which meant the rich were prompted to invest in public schools. Finland, take a bow.
