Friday Funny: πŸ˜„πŸ•My Dog lives like a kingπŸ•πŸ˜„

Fiona from Henderson

I Just Realized Something:

β€’ My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
β€’ He has his food prepared for him.
β€’ His meals are provided at no cost to him.
β€’ He visits the Vet once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
β€’ He lives in a nice neighbourhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
β€’ If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
β€’ He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
β€’ He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
β€’ He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
β€’ All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks ~ MY DOG IS A POLITCIAN!!!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need πŸͺ™πŸ’°πŸͺ™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
