Crafty Opportunity
I have come across an opportunity for someone (not me), to make a tourist toy (wooden / metal, moving parts) with a sales outlet already established. The owner of the attraction is an inventor, and has stopped selling the toys because he doesn't like making anything more than once. So visitors to his attraction ask for, but can no longer buy, his toys. I've spoken to him and have his support to try and turn this into a win/win - if I can find the right person/organisation. I don't want money from it, but trying to find someone - or preferably a charity or mentoring service or something like that - to make the items to be sold at the attraction site. The toys need skills which are a mixture of being crafty with small pieces of wood and metal, and patience to get things to work just right. I can be contacted at helen@livingbusiness.co.nz
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
