Time now to mark the week. Little piece of news and current events that's as popular as yelling free Palestine at Gillette Stadium. Trump won. I think it's laughable. Uh I reckon his worst week yet. Polls have tanked, the house flippers on, Scoters rejected it on mail ins, the Fed rejected him on interest rates. More Republicans than ever swap sides to vote against the war, and his name is not on the Kennedy Center. Seline Dion eight Come back of the week. Quite possibly of a year. Angst three I mean between Harry and Megan and their kids' school, the Hyrux nonsense, the Sydney Sweeney nonsense, the Ed Sheeran nonsense, that's a lot of nonsense and remarkably, or sadly, no shortage of people wanting a piece of it.
Youth wages, seven. See policy of the week, easy to bag it if you're a union, but actually makes sense and actually solves a problem. Manufacturing eight. The expansion continues. Services Seven. The expansion continues. Job ads, eight. Best numbers in four years. Auckland led the way. When the engine room fires, the whole car moves forward. Tourism, eight. Took a long I mean took way too long. But we are back, baby, to pre-COVID levels, which is good. AI six. Um Because the debate got real, got intense, got earnest and it happened all pretty quickly. But small clue, we are not getting wiped out, so if you panicked, you really should have focused more on Sydney Sweeney. Uh supermarkets one We're gonna need to lay an egg on that, you know, in the next two.
Biggest amount of combined idiocy I have seen in a campaign in years. Shallow as a puddle, the CRL six. So far a fire broke out, they didn't know where the alarms were and a train lost power. I assume apart from that it's going fine. Warriors nine readings from one Glass half full. If we'd won last week, we wouldn't have this weekend. And who doesn't want who doesn't want this weekend, eh? And that's the week copies on the website and confirmation that no one who has anything to do with marking the week has ever been asked for their political opinion in a poll.
