Friday Funny: ๐๐๐ปA Nun in hospital๐๐ป๐
A man suffered a heart attack while shopping in a store.
The store manager called for an ambulance when they saw him collapse to the floor.
The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital, where he had emergency open-heart bypass surgery.
He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital.
A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard, a pen, and a collection of forms. She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.
She asked, "Do you have health insurance?"
He replied in a weak raspy voice, "No health insurance."
The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"
He replied, "No money in the bank."
The irritated nun continued, โDo you have a relative who could help you with the payments?"
He replied, "I have only a spinster sister and she is a nun."
The nun became agitated and announced, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God!"
The patient replied, โPerfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law.โ
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereโs 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 ๐ช๐ฐ๐ช
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed ๐๐ฒ๐
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisationsโlike NZTAโmanage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
Weโd love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Chinese New Year!
