> Tons of stuff to figure out.

I am in New Zealand

The people behind d this policy do not think there is "Tons of stuff to figure out."

They are like many commentators here, they (think they) know it all.

It is, I hope, the last gasp of the old Thatcherist guard. "There is no such thing as society...just individuals "

They see everything through a materialistic lense, are desperate to reduce taxes (it is a fetish), and are doing incredible damage to the infrastructure of our society

Politics, sigh

The government they replaced (earnest left wing types) had some good ideas but were very centrist, paternal, and astoundingly incompetent

The prognosis is not good for my home country



Came to add my input as a NZer but yeah, this sums it up.

Most annoyingly to me there is no true green party to vote for. The actual NZ green party's primary focus is on what would be labeled socialist outcomes by someone with a US perspective.
