Mayor Len Brown attended the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris. Auckland was accepted as a member of the world’s leading local govt Climate Change Action Group namely the ‘C40 CITIES’. Len Brown said “now we have international support to increase the pace”

The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a network of ‘Megacities’ that are committed to addressing, driving a meaningful, measurable sustainable action on climate change. Len Brown stated “C40 Cities represent 500 million people, ¼ of the global economy. Auckland City Council was the first NZ City to become a member of C40 Cities. Auckland City membership to C40 CITIES was approved at the 21st Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention in Climate Change (COP21) in Paris. On 29th November 2016 Auckland Super City was chosen as a finalist in the C40 Cities Awards. Len Brown reported “I am delighted at Auckland City Council receiving international recognition for its projects on climate change

14th March 2022-Auckland City Council retains C40 Innovator City title. The council’s leadership has been recognised by mayors around the globe. C40 Cities Leadership comprises of 97 Cities.

The Auckland Council report that ‘the average Aucklander MUST reduce their carbon foot-print. They state ‘We MUST act now.  We MUST change the way each of us live our lives, the choices we make, how we travel, energy we use, what we purchase and how we eat (our diets) We MUST transition to low carbon lifestyles. November 2nd 2021 AUCKLAND City Council published article ‘Auckland City Council selected to showcase Climate initiatives. Reporting that eleven cities including Auckland are the worlds best examples of impactful urban climate action and refers to COP26, Green Zone, the Global Cities Climate Action Exhibition.Auckland features in exhibition alongside Beijing, London Los Angeles, Washington etc. Auckland City Council endorsed the C40 Divest/Invest Declaration, divesting any investments in fossil fuel companies, investing in climate solutions that support a green economy.

AUCKLAND CITY-PLANETARY DIET- SHIFT AWAY  FROM MEAT: C40 Cities have establishedGood Food Cities Declaration’ 11th September 2019. Mayors of C40 Cities are committed to using science based and a people focused approach to limit global warming to  1.5C. The C40 Cities-Good Food Cities Declaration commits cities to take a partnership approach to adopt food policies, strategies around food procurement, a food system that benefits all. Commitments include -Align food procurement policies to the ‘Planetary Health Diet’. Supporting an overall increase in plant based food consumption in C40 Cities. Work with citizens, businesses, public institutions, other organizations to develop a joint strategy for implementing these measures and achieving these goals, incorporating the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ into the’ Climate Action Plan’. Develop a food charter for Auckland, a strategic food policy action area, Provide strategic direction and governance for Auckland food system. Establish a Food Policy Council, advocate government to develop a National Food Resilience Policy.

Educate, prepare Maori to transition away from carbon dependence. Establish a Mana Whenua Climate Office. Auckland City Council has published that  Aotearoa, North Island now used as the Maori name for New Zealand  Council’s role is the delivery of the plan,  direct control, lead by example, deliver services, deliver infrastructure and facilities, lever plan, monitor and review, regulate, research, advocate, inform and influence. Reviewing regularly to reflect new evidence, learning, policy and technologies,. Adaptions and actions to be  taken to help communities and ecosystems cope with changing climate condition (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)

Food for thought:- C40 Good Food Cities Declaration. C40 Member cities commit to Sustainable Food Policies to address Climate Emergency. They call it ‘The Future We Want’ They mean- The Future They Want.                         C40 Cities are paving the way, implementing the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ in the local context. A radical transformation of our global food system they state – is critical to mitigate climate change. C40 Auckland City Council rising to the challenge- C40 City Mayors working with citizens to achieve the ‘Planetary Health Diet’. Auckland City Council Mayor will use procurement powers to change food we purchase, introduce policies for low carbon diets being accessible to ALL. A pledge made at the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen.

The ’Planetary Health Diet’ comprises of 2,500 calories per day.  I have personally noted here that through my research that some people need more or less calories depending on several situations, eg energy used, metabolism, health issues etc.. The Planetary Health Diet’ includes not exceeding 16kg of meat per person per year equals 300 grams per week,  90 kg of dairy per person per year. (250 grams of dairy per day- equivalent to one cup of milk per day). Half a plate of fruit & vegetables, the other half of the plate to comprise of whole grains, plant protein sources, unsaturated plant oils. The C40 Mayors support an overall increase in plant based food consumption. C40 City Mayors to work with citizens, businesses, public institutions and other organizations to develop, implements measures to achieve goals inclusively to incorporate the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ with their City Climate Action Strategy-Plan. Promoting urbanization bringing people to the worlds cities. C40 City Mayors acknowledge its imperative to act in the best interests of their citizens, therefore they must shift Urban/City diets that aim to target- implement, apply interventions of global food systems in a local context.Auckland City Council Mayors have, and are promoting, implementing, planning, predetermining Multistakeholder Initiatives of Sustainable Food Systems and Diets. Auckland City Council article on their website refers to the World Economic Forum, that represent Multistakeholder Corporations. The WEF and UN signed an official strategic partnership June 13th 2019. Several large organizations have demanded that the partnership ends, due to a conflict of interests.(WEF Multistakeholder Capitalism)

WEF are seen as whisperers in the ear of the UN, giving the WEF massive influence over peoples lives right across the planet. The UN/WEF Partnership equating to a One World Public-Private Global Corporate Global Governance. A Global Corporate Governance that’s controls ‘people-planet- for profit (massive profit for the few as others suffer increased poverty), thus the intentions to destroy sovereign nations, to intercept them into globalization as globalized citizens. A global Eco Social Credit System enacted upon nations at a local level. The WEF/UN partnership is viewed as Non-Democratic causing a humongous global democratic deficit that has potentially drown the worlds b submerging them within a massive worldwide tsunami, causing fear, anxiety and allowed the totalitarian control of UN Member Govts over its citizens.

The deliberate shift from the worlds Free-market Economy to the WEF  Multistakeholderism could never happen as it has over the last few years if it had not been for the Pandemic shutting down, destroying the worlds economies that target small businesses and farming communities worldwide. (The free-market enterprise economy has served NZ well and now its being intentionally destroyed (seriously impacting on small businesses, small farm holders). Auckland City  Council support this insanity.

I personally believe this is a predetermined evil psychological warfare, using populations globally as guineapigs- depopulation through jabs, increased suicides, assisted suicides (euthanasia) and decimalizing Abortion. NOTE:-Auckland City Council website link to Sustainable Food Systems and Diets, Multistakeholder Initiatives. (23 Pages pdf) Link Provided. References the World Economic Forum and the UN..

C40 City Strategic funders are Bloomberg Philanthropies, Children’s Investment Foundation (CIFF) and Realdania. Bill Gates among philanthropies that fund the Children’s Investment Foundation (CIFF). Bloomberg and Gates collaborated on COVID initiatives. Bloomberg-Gates fight climate change.. How to fund the Green Revolution.  Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Foundations form alliance’ The Green Revolution.

Gates Foundation failed the ‘Green Revolution for Africa’ published July 29th 2020 Report where massive investments spent promoting and subsidizing commercial seeds and agrichemicals across Africa failed to fulfil the purpose of alleviating hunger and lifting small hold farmers out of poverty.(False Promises’ was published by 10 German-African Non Profits. This is just one example of wealthy billionaire philanthropists self interests and failings. The ‘Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa ‘(AGRA) was launched in 2006 by Gates & Rockefeller Foundation. Promised double yields, incomes for 30 million farming households hence cutting food security in 20 African countries by 2020. African Govts spent $1billion per year. Poverty and hunger worsened. High public cost & zilch transparency

Billionaires Wealth Index.. Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, John D Rockefeller, Elon Mus Gates, Rockefeller etc.,with their low carbon big ticket commitments. Across the global green spectrum get much wealthier.. China, the manufacturers of the global green deal energy hub. Tycoons who make electric vehicles, batteries for electric cars dominate as the biggest investors. Electric car batteries. Auckland council investments, implementation, plans to significantly increase electric cars, charging points

Auckland City Council will not publicly report this.  Children obligated to work in dark dangerous narrow hazardous cobalt mines. Little to no safety. Mining cobalt essential for electric car battery manufacture ‘Millions of children’s lives in Serious Danger’, lives lost by collapsed mining infrastructure. Children with horrendous injuries. Slave Child Labour. As young as 5-6yrs old. Earning approx. $1.20 per day. Women that work in these mines are reported as being sexually violated, raped

The Auckland City Council through promoting their radical C40 City global mayors project have aligned themselves with those that allow these terrible atrocities to happen to children. This will not be found on the Auckland City Council website. Will Auckland new mayor, Len Brown publicly talk about this?          Will any of Ardern’s political cronies that reside in the toilet bowl of Wellington talk publicly about this. What about Peters and Seymour they appear to be publicly speaking out about what we want to hear. Will they publicly talk about this? Will leaders of Maori Party, will Willie Jackson will Eugene Sage Green Party talk about this? I BELIEVE NOT.

Have the deckchairs just merely been moved around on the deck? I BELIEVE SO. After all Helen Clark is till advising Ardern’s Govt on policies etc., through her Helen Clark Foundation. A Non-Profit Organization. Will Phil Goff become a member of Ardern’s cabinet? Will Auckland’s new mayor, Len Brown publicly tell Aucklanders, New Zealanders about Auckland City C40 radical implementation of the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ for ALL Aucklanders? The shift to increased plant based diets, a significant decrease in real meat consumption. Will Len Brown publicly refer to  Klaus Schwab’s-WEF significant links to Auckland City Council.? Will Len Brown publicly disclose what the determinations, implementations that the Global Covenant of Mayors implanting, proposing, planning. Auckland Council references ‘Global Covenant of Mayors’ work towards climate resilient future,

Whilst attending a South Auckland meeting last weekend the speaker asked the gathering if they believed that Len Brown, the new Auckland mayor would make a difference to the insanity that’s happening now. I sadly replied ‘NO’, but I pray he will. I expect he will be bombarded by political leftist ‘woke’ crap. I pray he has the ‘Moral Courage’ to endure, implement the changes, disrupt the wrong doings that mayors have done before him namely Len Brown and Phil Goff. He has walked into the Lions Den of ‘Woke-ism’

SUPPORTING THE FARMERS OF NEW ZEALAND.  NO FARMERS- NO FOOD.

THE CARBON CREDITS SCAM, FOREIGN LAND SALES AND DIRTY TOXIC POLLUTED WATER

15th May 2019  NZ Herald heading “Is Eugenie Sage the Most Dangerous Minister in Jacinda Ardern’s Government

Audrey Young: Is the Green Party’s Eugenie Sage the most ‘dangerous’ minister in Jacinda Ardern’s Government?

RNZ reported 13th November 2018 that Green MP Eugenie Sage accused of rubber stamping land sales to foreigners. It was revealed than Land Information Minister and Green MP Eugenie Sage had approved nearly every application to cross her desk over 9 months, just rejecting only 30 hectares out of 60,000 hectares of land. Sage allowed a Chinese water bottling giant to expand

Between 1st November and 26th July Sage approved 21 applications covering 55,957 hectares. Sage said roughly 40,000 hectares were related to the sale of Mount White Station a sheep and beef farm in Canterbury. Many of the applications were related to forestry, which is a priority area for the government,  she said. Adding we need more forestry to meet the billion trees commitment to ensure that New Zealand is sequestering enough carbon to meet the government’s climate change objectives.

I personally believe the carbon credit scheme is a sham, that will cost farmers their land and the country a huge economic loss. It’s a fraud in which the Taxpayers of New Zealand and Consumers will have to cough up big time for. Who is an environmental law and policy expert had spent years working on the integrity of the Australian Govt’s carbon credit system launched an attack on the scheme, saying it’s a fraud, is hurting the environment and wasting a $billion of Australian Taxpayer funding.

This news article referred to major implications for the credibility of the Coalitions $4.5billion ‘direct action’ emissions reduction fund in which the government buys carbon credits from rural land owner and other businesses.

This also raised questions as to the rapidly growing number of polluting companies promising to buy carbon credits to offset their impact on the planet. The private market in carbon credits being worth $150million per year in Australia.

As for NZ and its growing a billion or so tree’s for 20 years the Local Government Act has allowed companies in NZ to pollute  farmers  bore water  through what Fonterra calls ‘Nutrient Management’

Fonterra has 29 Ghost Farms. Fonterra would rather call them ‘Nutrient Management Farms’ across New Zealand. Fonterra have purchased farms, removed the stock and used the land for piping their factory cleaning waste water onto these farms and then sprayed it across these farms.

One News Feb 10th 2021 News Article ‘Council, Government ‘failure’ is why Fonterra can discharge toxic waste water on empty farms says ecologist.

That Local and Central Govt are failing to adequately limit industry’s discharge of wastewater on land, which puts people health and environment at risk.

The article refers to an assessment by Victoria University professor Mike Joy on Breakfast Today RNZ where a Waikato couple unacceptable levels of nitrates in their bore drinking water. Fonterra had emptied nearby farms of cows and used the land as tips for waste water.

But, Fonterra is within the law to continue discharging this toxic waste water. Fonterra said its part of its circular nutrient management system, that the water would help the grass grow. The grass is cut, then taken elsewhere to feed cattle. This is namely ‘Cut and Carry’.

Ground water testing found that this showed dangerously high nitrate levels of 10 12 milligrams per litre. The maximum level allowed under the National Policy for Freshwater Management is 2.4 milligrams per litre.

This is putting bank balances before human health. Wealth NOT health. An analysis by RNZ found few councils monitored breaches to trade water consents, often turning a blind eye  to this. And Fonterra’s not the only one getting away with Trade Wastewater breaches either. More on this with my next blog.

But what does the Government do.. BLAME THE FARMERS..-..THROW THE FARMERS UNDER THEIR TRACTORS….- . USE THE FARMERS AS THEIR WHIPPING BOY.

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL ‘UNDRIP’ AND VISION 2040 NEW ZEALAND

George Orwell’s- Animal Farm: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” Orwell explaining disparities that exist in our society

A proclamation by the pigs who control the government, in the novel of Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’. The hypocrisy of governments that proclaim the equality of citizens, but give power and privileges to a small elite

Orwell parody of as he criticised  Stalinist Russia. He said ‘”Windmill or no windmill, life will go on as it had always gone on, and that is badly

Orwells “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”, takes me back to the researched archives of the Beehive (The wasps nest) 15th September 2007.

The NZ Minister Of Maori Affairs gave a ‘Wake Up’ speech in the house, however three years later the National Party ignored the warning. And now the great push to introduce the UNDRIP into Health, Education, Infrastructure, Economy etc., etc.,

The hypocrisy of governments that proclaim the equality of citizens, but give power and privileges to a small elite

THE NZ GOVERNMENT HAS THE ABILITY TO DETAIN YOU INDEFINITELY WITHOUT YOU EVEN COMMITTING A CRIMINAL OFFENCE

TONY BLAIRS ‘North Korean’Sweeping Powers are permanent in New Zealand.. Not one political crony in the cesspit of Wellington will openly share this information with the citizens of NZ.

Tony Blair was reported in the Daily Mail News as referring to ‘Tony Blair’s Stalker Squad’. He had quietly set up a Fixated Threat Assessment Centre in the UK for those that were called ‘Suspects to be detained’ without breaking the law under an extended mental health condition namely ‘fixated’ behavior.

Fixated Threat Assessment Centre is a collaboration between Scotland Yard Police, Parliamentary Police and special Mental Health Officials, where the government has the power to detain anyone whom opposed the governments narratives. Citizens whom had not committed a crime, with was no criminal evidence. Thus being a blurred line between criminal and clinical investigations.

Because of the passing of a confidentiality legislation suspects name were not known, therefore no-one knew how any detained suspect there were, or their names.  The Atlantic Times reported ‘UK Law Bans the public from Criticizing the Government’ British subjects being detailed in a mental health unit under Blair’s little known laws’. Detainee’s had little or no right to appeal, a number of people falling prey to Blairs North Korean tactics.

Outspoken MP Andrew Lansley reported “the law can be used to target anyone of religious or political belief. The Government has widened the definition of mental health intervention”.
Evening Standard 27th May 2007 was headed ‘Shambles of Blairs Plan’ referring to Blairs draconian wartime powers. Where if citizens were questioned by police and did not comply they were issued with up to a 5,000 pound fine. The Government had such sweeping powers that Police could stop and question anyone. The government analyzed more than 10,000 suspects. No-one knows how many were or are being detained in the Threat Assessment Centres.

Detainee’s that undergo mental health interventions without having a mental health disorder. Civil matters in a private court where the govt chose an advocate to represent the suspect. The suspect not knowing that a court hearing was happening, no lawyer. Suspects could be detained indefinitely.

2017 the New Zealand Government decided to pilot Tony Blairs draconian North Korean Fixated Threat Assessment Centre in New Zealand. On the July 1st 2019 under the Labour led government the Tony Blair Fixated Threat Assessment Centre became permanent in New Zealand. A collaboration between Parliamentary Police, NZ Police and special Mental Health Officials.

An OIA request was made requesting details of how many suspects have been detained in the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre in NZ. Age, ethnicity etc., between 2017 – 2020. The response from National Intelligence NZ Police to all questions where responses were requested were given a ‘Non Applicable’ response. In other words “the New Zealand public will never know”. Kia-ora North Korea.

WILL THE ELECTORAL LAWS CHANGE ‘PRE OR POST NEW ZEALAND 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS’ ?

Debate on extending the term in Parliament has been rejected twice already. The so called Independent Electoral Review has proposed a referendum on extending the term of Parliament from 3 to 4 yrs, two past referendums rejected this proposal so why another one. The previous polls in 1967 and 1990 were both defeated by more than 2/3rds. With the levels of distrust in this non transparent government why on earth should we give them another year to further plunder NZ?

This is the review stage, public consultation is open until 17th July 2023 and a final report goes to the government in November this year after the general election. How much clout do the people have as far as referendums are concerned in NZ if the people of NZ wanted to hold a referendum on this instead of the Government and the result concluded 2/3s opposed the extension of the parliamentary term  from 3 to 4 yrs. Citizens Initiated Referendums are Non Binding therefore it’s the govt that has the end decision making rights to make that decision not the people – citizens of NZ. Parliament could just not have a referendum and pass an amendment to the Electoral Act that requires 75% majority of the House. David Seymore quickly rubbished the whole electoral review. He said “It’s a waste of time and a major left wing beat up and does not solve a single problem that’s NZrs face.

The review in question recommend eliminating the ‘coat-tailing’ rule. Allowing a party that wins at lease one electorate seat to bring more MPs into the House, even if the party vote is below 5% threshold. ACT for instance in 2008  received just 3.65% of the party vote but took 5 seats on the back of winning the Epsom electorate. The eligible electoral voting public of New Zealand are not taken into consideration at all. The we have that very famous Left wing Build Back Budget of Grant Robertson with NZ Happiness Indicators introduced by Ardern to replace the prior GDP (Gross Domestic Product).  The Happiness Indicators one cannot even measure a  persons happiness so how can they possibly measure a countries happiness.

12th November 2022 RNZ reported PM Jacinda Ardern said that legislation will be drafted for making the voting age 16 years old. 6th June 2023 RNZ reported the Electoral Review recommends voting age lowered to 16, party threshold to 3.5%. An independent panel of experts are considering public submissions on the extended Parliamentary term of 3 to 4 years and lowering the age to vote to 16years. 58 public meeting have reported to have been held and more than 1700 submissions is now reported and a swathe of draft recommendations, they say to make electoral laws fairer.

The Draft Recommendations are:- (1) Lowering the voting age for general elections to 16, extending overseas voting rules (2) Extending the voting rights to all prisoners, not just those sentenced to 3 or 4years jail term (3) Holding a referendum on extending the Parliamentary Term from 3 to 4 years (4) lowering the party vote threshold from 5 to 3.5%, abolishing the ‘coat and tail rule’.(5) Restricting political donations to registered voters, rather than organization, capping them at $30,000 to each party and its candidates per electoral cycle whilst reducing the amount that can be anonymously donated. (6) Re-writing the Electoral Act to modernise its language  (7) Requiring the Electoral Commission to give effect the Treaty Of Waitangi and (8) MMP

The Panel chairwoman is Deborah Hart. The Independent Electoral Review was established by the Minister of Justice Andrew Little. Deborah Hart is a highly experienced Director Lawyer and CEO. The other members of the Review Panel are Maori Academic and Political Commentator Dr. Maria Bargh, electoral law experty Prof Andrew Geddis, law student Alice Mander former Chief Electoral Officer Robert Peden, lecturer and NZ Election Study co lead Dr Lara Greaves

NOTE: These are non-elected individuals that are key people whom are making proposals as to how NZ Elections are to be, that affect every New Zealander, man woman and child. The people never elected them in to direct our country in the way elections are held in NZ. Faafoi also announced in the House that consultation included other groups such as Maori Organizations, Youth Organization, Universities and the NZ Law Society. Thus calling this a broad public, cross party support. This did not fit the term “ Broad public consultation with the people of NZ, in fact this left out probably 4 ½ million people from even being consulted

(2)Lowering the voting age to 16 should cause many voting public concern. How young is too young? Green Party are definitely for it as is Labour however they masked this by requesting a Review Panel, not wanting the public to see this as their decision.

Just because 16year olds can leave school and obtain a drivers licence does that give them the right to be part of the electoral voting in our country? How much real world experience do they have, are they still hanging onto mum and dads coat tails?  Yes there maybe a very small amount of 16 year olds that maybe interested but is that enough to lower the voting age. If the Govt holds a referendum will this be binding on the govt or non binding.? Do the voting eligible citizens of NZ actually have a ‘end decision making right? For example a 16 yr old may understand the road code but does he or she understand how families, the elderly employers, employers are effected by govt policies. ??? Its important to protect the majority of the public in New Zealand, not promoting 16 year olds that have no idea what its like to survive in this day and age.

Young people, students are the political football, a NZ Government that focuses on gender and sexuality, that now talks about requiring students to have digital licenses to protect them from online dangers. The Government is the Only Source Of Truth’ indoctrination. The Govt want this ‘Govt Only Source Of Truth’ to be the young 16year old voters to be determiners where our country is heading. Those that are taught in school to be good Global Citizens not good New Zealand Citizens, these are NZ’s very own ‘Global Shapers’ that advocate for the WEF, because that’s what they, without realising the dangers of this, or even consciously knowing it, are being manipulated, brainwashed to do.

NZ Government ‘build back better’ the Klaus Schwab’s ‘Global Redesign’ Initiative-UN Agenda 2030 SDGs-169 Targets of rebuilding institutions, education. The Global Governance. The Action Campaign for Education for ALL the Worlds children (June 23rd 2010) . Global Education Monitoring Report 2020- Choice for children and Inclusion.

Instead of lowering the voting age of 16years old shouldn’t the govt be seriously looking at the significant rise in youth crime. EG Two teenagers slitting a drivers throat murdering him in Westhaven whilst horrified people looked on in shock. Big increases in Youth Crime. Yet the stats will tell you Youth Crime has dropped. Scoop NZ reported 20th March 2023 ‘Labours lack of leadership ‘crime rate surge’  More NZrs are victims of crime, police spokesman said (Mark Mitchell). Victimization increased from 2017 – 241,000 to 2022 to over 350,000 victims a 46% increase.

Serious Assaults causing injury sky rocking from 9,800 in 2017 to 23,000 in 2021. 140% increase.  The increasing in ram-raids 886 incidents in 2022, one every 10 hrs. 551% increase since 2018. All Labour has done is decrease the prison population by 30%, repealing the 3 strikes law designed to deter repeat offenders. As the country had his 4th Police Minister in 12 months. And Labour, Greens support the lowering of the voting age. National oppose it at this stage and Act opposes it at National Level BUT would let MPs vote how they want on local government voting. Winston Peters had his say on One News saying the recommended electoral changes are disastrous (6/6/2023). Will lead to instability. Peters said “HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE CRIMINAL COURT LATELY?” Young minds are not fully developed

It’s been reported there is evidence that suggests young brains are still undergoing development well into a persons 20’s, not fully mature until 25yrs, not 18years old as it would apply. Neurological development is not directly proportionate to cognitive maturity, this is very complicated. But what will come next, will it be that old farts can’t vote. But then majority of us have been through massive amount of experiences, knowledge, life skills, and know about how to survive even in times of crisis we are well past hanging onto parents coat tails.   LOL So I suggest us older people have special favoured votes, and we don’t have 16 year olds voting in general elections at all. We’ll call it ‘The Great Reset’ and ‘Back to Normal’ LOL
