(22,480 posts)...perfectly good sense to me...
...they're taking the opportunity to march against the rise of social injustice and global fascism championed by trump, his administration and followers...
...the pandemic has demonstrated how fragile and incompetent our global economic, political and social structures are...
...we now realize, what affects one, affects us all...

(23,102 posts)They told us soon as the travel ban is lifted - come here and stay with us where it's safe! We have a small family but it's very important to me and NZ is so far away, I hate to leave them. If drumpf steals or cancels the elections, moving there may be a viable alternative for us once we can get vaccinated. If there is no vaccine by early next year, guess old partially disabled us will be part of the revolution.

So many unique natural wonders, oh... and tree ferns are my absolute favorite plant of all time. So much awesome packed into a relatively small place geographically. From semi tropical rain forests to temperate rain forest and those Remarkable snow capped mountains, geothermal wonders and a sea full of delicious seafood. What's not to like?
Only their immigration policy but I can't fault them for that.

If we hadn't met these wonderful people on a river cruise 3 years ago we wouldn't have any chance of moving there either, but they have assured us that we will be welcome there with their sponsorship. Yes, we are lucky for their friendship and thankful as well.

(23,102 posts)Jen and Ray tell us they can absolutely get us in, but we will see what's what when there's a vaccine and it's safe to fly again. We're hoping to get there next year, spend at least 3 weeks there and really see if this is doable. 2 weeks for vacation and travel and one week to visit officials, banks, real estate agents, etc.

(12,504 posts)and scare the shit out of Ambassador Scottie Centerfold Brown and run him out of the country for serving a treasonous so-called president. I'm sure NZ would be glad to rid themselves of such filth.
