Hot chips and extreme wealth

Finally explained in a language us kiwis understand

comments immediately full of bots out playing defense for pedophiles who use loans and financial horseshit to be infinitely wealthy while producing nothing.

What an incredibly shallow and simplistic model. Ignores the fact that the big 'pile of chips' represents asset wealth that includes large-scale businesses that employ thousands or more and contribute to the economy on an ongoing basis. This is slop for low-information voters, nothing but propaganda. Maybe give the public a little credit and try a more nuanced, honest approach instead of relying on pure emotion in the future?

We are a ‘think and do tank’ working to redesign the economic system around the wellbeing of people and nature. Could you chip in towards our mahi?

No chips were wasted making this video.

You ignore the other side of the ledger - how low ability, poor choices, or simply refusing to work drag down median incomes for certain demographics. Averages get pulled from both ends - pretending only one end matters is the real tell. This kind of socialist thinking is toxic for a society. It breeds resentment, erodes personal responsibility and incentives to improve, and ultimately makes everyone poorer by punishing success while excusing failure.

This is being mad that rich people are more successful and have put in the work to get there. Stop blaming others for being poor and do the actions that give you raw results to become successful instead of whining about it. NZ is such an embarrassing country to live in now.

You gotta do the Mahi to get the chips

The fixed pie fallacy. A classic

What a childish and simplistic exercise. It doesn't account for talent, work ethic, drive, grit, good luck/bad luck. Its just appealing to the lowest common denominator, but that's the lefts playbook.

This sort of narrative drives me nuts. Billionaire by definition have chased a mission, a dream, a plan, a scheme. Jobs spin off that mission as an automatic result They don’t “horde money” in bank accounts If they do that money is then available for others to borrow and build They buy super yachts that require designers and makers and staff to run and clean But mostly they build things and services that we want and buy and use, that’s why they are billionaires. It’s nearly impossible to “horde money” away where it doesn’t circulate The left leaning people that hate billionaires are the problem. Envy

GIMME ALL THOSE FUCKING CHIPS BRO, I WANT ALL OF THEM NOT THE WEALTH KIND, FUCK MONEY, I WANT THE ACTUAL CHIPS

Retarded and broke

Wait till Gareth finds out potato 🥔 farmers are not extremely wealthy 🤣

So the chips represent the money in the country and the Greens represent the self-important bureaucracy that values someone else's work so little that they had them cook perfectly good chips so the bureaucracy can get in the way, let them go cold and then chuck them away, while congratulating themselves on how hard they worked.

FFS they didn’t get their wealth by sitting on their asses.

Wealthy people in NZ pay a fuck ton in tax, are they not allowed to be successful? Don't drive millionaires and billionaires away, they help our economy. Can't believe I'm defending capitalism but also hell no to socialism. The drive to strive and achieve greatness is life.

Are there only an infinite number of chips in the world? Stupid illustration. Teaching people wrong lessons, promoting envy and hate

The toxic mentality of the "self-made man" myth in the Anglo-Saxon world is so persistent that it’s necessary to create educational material for children to address it.

I don’t know if people are stupid enough to believe this or know it’s false, but lie about it Wealth isn’t a fixed pile of chips. It can be created, not merely redistributed.

And some people expect chips to be provided to them by everyone else. Who’s worse?

Piss off you commie

And musk is if you drown that whole city in chips.

Socialist retardation - assumption that people with wealth sit on their asses and enjoy the freedom. People with wealth are driving economic, societal outcomes, creating employment, prosperity, driving wealth creation in others not hoarding it. Oversimplification..

Visceral and shareable—great activism. Economically hollow: treats wealth as a fixed pile of fries instead of productive capital that grows and employs. Implies pure hoarding while skipping creation, risk, incentives, and growth. Emotion > mechanism.

Yeah but most of the chips are ghost chips. Not like they have billions in cash. This is what bitterness and envy taken to the extreme looks like….

Iwi are worth $126billion. Why are they not sharing their wealth?

Why's it an issue? I'm one of those who has the two chips shown, I know folk who'd have the stock on the table x10. They're welcome to it. Doesn't faze or anger me in the slightest. They did not get wealthy by receiving handouts, hand-ups maybe, but mostly hard work. 'tis theirs

@geoffvster Microphone on the ketchup bottle was a lovely touch

I couldn't care less if some people are extremely rich. What I care about is that you Green Party creeps think you have the right to be in control of everyone.

@nettieg3 Make the correct decisions and you won’t be a broke dick.

Go live in a communist country if that’s what you want then you fucking imbeciles.

What a stupid stunt. Who were the random members of the public? Look like actors to me.

I feel oppressed! Give me more free money!!!

and now show how much tax they pay in sauce.

Initially thought you were sharing this as a parody. Then realised the stereotype leftist actors actually believed the shit that was being acted out….the icing on the cake though, is going to the website and seeing that your outfit actually takes itself seriously?? 🤣
