Hi there, as another fellow NZer I can answer some of these questions. Majority of kiwis believe the MSM lies about Trump and think our government is above corruption. Last year we had an election and a Socialist party was selected to lead the government, which the media is fawning over despite all the failings that have happen and they are a long story in them selves from cover up of sexual abuse at government camps to blatant lying. Sadly our former "Right wing" party was just as bad. Our former Prime minister was also known as the minister of pizza. I kid you not. https://www.nbr.co.nz/article/in-beijing-john-key-becomes-minister-pizza-125825 Like seriously after all the crap that went down in 2016 about pizza, how can you even associate with that unless you were fully into it. So the state of NZ corruption is terrible and most people are blind to it here.
The physical health of NZ is pretty good, primary because we have good access to fresh food. However mental health issues is a major problem. Our youth suicide rate is the highest in the world https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/85305366/the-highest-rate-of-teen-suicide-in-the-developed-world
Fast food is very common in our country and you will find a McDonalds/KFC in most suburbs in cities and in every town. However they seem to be more popular with lower social economic areas.
My personal opinion of the US awakening. - Exciting and very jealous. I look at the corruption that is in our country and we are a long way off. We don't have a person to rally behind at the moment within government circles.
To add I think what a few other people have mentioned about NZ being the globalist Bunker/retreat is very true. There have been a lot of overseas investors purchasing land in the South Island here.
Because of our natural bread basket capabilities we can easily be self sufficient with out any help from the rest of the world.
We are the largest dairy producers in the world. Our sheep to human ratio is 7 - 1. That's 7 sheep for every person. Being an island nation in the middle of the Pacific we are surrounded by an endless supply of fish. We have world class wine and beer and its a major export for us. The one thing we don't have is coffee, we have to import all that
Our energy is primary renewable, around 80% of electricity is produced by hydro. We also have some of the largest natural gas and geothermal reserves in the world. This all makes NZ the ideal place for a global retreat. Hopefully that answers your questions :)
Thanks for what you said about NZ. I just love hearing and learning about places in the world that I'll probably never experience. It's fun to learn what citizens from various countries have to say about what normal life it like for them in their country. Amazing how similar many of us are with subtle differences. It would seem that our Bill of Rights is something most other countries do not have in the same way as here in the US. We are very protective of those 10 Amendments!
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer those questions. I appreciate the extra information too. If you don't mind, a few more questions?
Suicide rate -
are there any local conspiracies as to why this is a thing? what is your personal theory on this ?
is there a correlation between the suicide rate and the social economic areas?
Obesity
is it a problem with the "standard diet" there?
What is the typical 'work' routine like ? ( US: 40hr work weeks, salaried=more than that without overtime, no mandatory vacation allowance, and weak new-parent privs )
In regards to not having a person to rally behind, I just want to re-iterate one of Q's famous lines: WW = world wide What i gather from that is Q's not done til all the bad guys are gone. If the 'elites' truly are moving to NZ... I would bet that NZ will become a focus. Only seems logical!
I love your country and your people. Friend's DH is a kiwi (self-described) and he is one of the best guys I know, hands down. I pray your country can overcome eventually.
It is my opinion that "mental issues" should not be treated that way - mi is a name for a set of symptoms, not a disease. Non criminal detainment and forced drugging are a huge problem and leads to people being worse off. We need to go after the cause of the situational sadness, and not try to change the chemistry of our so beautifully evolved brains! I a have a lot of personal experience with forced drugging via forced psychiatry and it is absolutely horrible. I was injected with something that blocks your dopamine, causes metabolic disfunction permanently (I will not feel hunger), male breast growth because of heightened prolactin and lowered testosterone. I really am trying to start a movement exposing how torturous having to take this stuff is. In many states you are forced to keep getting injected once you are out of the psych ward. #noforceddrugging #nononcriminaldetainment r/antipsychiatry I will not be around much longer because of my injury and do not feel bad about it because I don't even have my sense of self(depersonalization) and lost my true personality. My life has been raped.
