        It should be noted people in New Zealand are not fond of their current government, not their republican style bullshit. But like many countries the same people who voted then in will do so again at some point.

          Nearly half the investors who have applied hail from the US, representing 85 applications, followed by China, 26, and Hong Kong, 24. Residents from countries across Asia and Europe make up the rest of the applicants.

          "Flock" lmao

            “Rich people buy their way out of the fascism they helped build” seems more apt

                The Hong-Kongers deserve a little sympathy, but the 'rich' part really does take the shine off.

                    A Flock of Seagulls was like 4 guys, so in that sense it's not a bad flock.

                        I’ve always thought New Zealand was a better version of my own country (Canada)…I no longer think this.

                            Fucking assholes who are makin the country worse fleeing. Good news is they will then shit up that other countries. bad news is once they crap it up enough will come back here and it continues constantly searching for the nicest spot in the turd pile to defecate on.

                              We were thinking of moving using the skilled visa, which seems hard because we need a job offer prior to visa application. So if you have money you can just come?

                              Any Kiwis here can tell me if it's a good country to immigrate to? I will have PhD soon, and want to contribute to open access research if possible.

                              So far the country looks great because we like slow life, but idk if that's just for citizens or also for immigrants.

                                  Nice place, but not particularly wealthy, and everything is expensive because it's imported. Housing is expensive too. Also there's the tension between the Maori people and the government. And the recent shift to the right hasn't improved anything.

                                    Seems like the right shift is kind of global. I don't see any other country being a good choice either. And we did see the tension, and the haka.

                                    How's science though? Main problem we have here is that people don't really respect science anymore. Which is something that we find really scary long term.

                                      They'll have to ask Australia very nicely to borrow a plane.

                                      Or maybe their navy will ram a pacific island again.

                                        Not sure these days, but I assume they'd be in the same boat as the rest of the Anglosphere.
