New Zealand is fucked. They are destroying their beautiful country
(www.autocar.co.nz)
What's happening in beautiful New Zealand is a tragedy
This small country has the worst housing crisis in the entire Western world.
Many young people are becoming homeless
Hannah, 32, has two degrees and a master’s in economics and finance.
She has also been in transitional housing three times in the past three years.

1 in 1000 citizen is now homeless:
Yet it's not like the country doesn't have money. They have money. For cars.
New Zealand is the most car-dependent country in the world:
https://www.autocar.co.nz/study-suggests-new-zealand-is-the-most-car-dependent-country-in-the-world/
They are spending billions on cars, roads, highways, car insurance, tunnels, giant parking lots:
They are literally using their economy to encourage cars instead of housing.
It's so sad

[meme] No Way to avoid this...
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Image Alt-Text
A two panel Comic.
First panel is set somewhere in the middle ages in south america. A child is sacrificed on an altar.
The people observing this say: why do we have to kill kids? - it's not a "killing", it's a "sacrifice". - if we didn't sacrifice kids the rain god will be mad… - … and the rain may stop falling… - … and our crops would stop growing … - …and we'll starve to death!
Second panel is modern day street scene, a dead child is lifted into an ambulance, a crushed tricycle left on the road.
The people observing this say: why do we have to kill kids? - it's not a "killing", it's a "car accident". - if we motorists had to drive slower, it would hurt car sales… - … and the economy would be upset… - … and we'll all lose our jobs… - …and we'll starve to death!
I did not see this banger of a comic on here, so have it, please
