First up, how much of the downturn in CBD spend is because of govt. layoffs? And how much is countered by an upturn in the wider region as people go to cafés in Kapiti & Upper Hutt instead of Wellington?

Secondly, for about 10 years govt agencies have been aiming for smaller offices and more people working from home. They can't just turn it around like that, lots of places won't have enough desks

Does it look good? No

Does it seem creative? No

Does it look funny? Also No

He's an embarrassment to our country.

Oh wow! It's our chronic embarrassment of Prime Minister! Leader of the Landlords for Racism party

I'm enjoying it - I don't really know what's going on yet but I'm enjoying it.

In the City of Fallen Angels, Where the ocean meets the sand, You will form a strong alliance, And the world's most awesome band!

As a country we should be ashamed

Started growing my beard in, for the first time in years. It’s white. Hell yeah I'm old

A recession is two consecutive periods of negative growth. So usually a "technical recession" means "we meet the criteria for a recession but we're not experiencing the bad effects you'd expect (yet)"

Meanwhile in the southern hemisphere:
