The exceptions are an increasing number of people either just refusing to travel by air, or sharply reducing air travel. We can all do that.

Roads in the USA are much easier to ride motorbikes on than in Europe. And riders ride their bikes as if they were cars. Lane splitting is not legal in many places. You can’t park as easily etc and there was far less commuting in the cities

You can calibrate the Aranet4 at any time by putting it outside, and it will set that as 420ppm. Obviously the ambient CO2 levels are raising slightly each year, so this is not entirely perfect. We have tried a number of different CO2 senso

But at least we won’t be required to create a FB account, and if the new Meta account is on a independent gaming computer then….. Oh who are we kidding. We just can’t trust Meta/FB.

Nanolayr has a developed product (spun nano-fibres) that has ridiculous acoustic performance for its thickness/weight. The path to market for these sorts of product is long. https://www.nanolayr.com/product/sonolay

They are retail investors, and there are generally very strong laws to protect them from this sort of scam. Examine that failure.

The people riding bikes you are observing in the middle of the road are obeying the rules and trying to stay alive by preventing close overtakes. Roads were designed for people, horses and bikes - why have we let cars take over?

If we abolished MIQ then Aotearoa NZ would be riddled with COVID, many thousands or tens of thousands would have died, many many more living with chronic conditions and the economy and society crippled. As it happens less than 50 have died,
