LOL I think it uses the principle of OPM - Other People's Money.
I get sad when I think of New Zealand the way it used to be, a paradise, with a people that stood up to the US and said 'No nukes!' Now it's the epicenter of oppression. It breaks my heart, and I cannot imagine how yours must break.
I will work on the US. If you work on NZ, maybe we can free our countries and heft a pint someday. I will look forward to that happy day, my friend.
