Be that as it may, the last straw need not be so heavy and heartless as yo break the camel’s back.
Talking and discussing child and spouse abuse used to be distasteful too - interfering with a family’s affairs, remember?
How do you know his business was stuffed? There are successful Mad Butcher stores still operating around the country, just like there are successful $1 stores still operating.

The Labourites cannot handle anything which remotely mocks (appropriately) their beloved cannot do any wrong leader. Ok though for them to dish out BS by the tonnes on NZers.

Propping up a business that would fail anyway is not good use of tax payers money.
You hold out a failing business as the prime example of the Govts failing - not a good example really.

Unbalanced
Cant wait for your next crocodile tear political rant minus moral compass episode about departed people.
Blind spot evil.

Again, where do you get the idea that the business was failing?

This is a completely different thing. Those of us telling you it is disrespectful to continually bring it up, are not doing so to “sweep it under the carpet” - a term you keep repeating. Nobody is pretending it didn’t happen or that the current COVID situation may have had an impact on his unfortunate decision.
We are telling you that using his death as an example to boost your arguments, is exploitative, upsetting to anyone here who may have known him, and is completely unnecessary. You have made your point - over and over again. You do not need to use him as an example anymore. It does not help your argument and makes you look desperate. Not to mention unkind, unsympathetic and disrespectful.

I could just use your quote
There are successful Mad Butcher stores still operating around the country, just like there are successful $1 stores still operating.
So why was only this one store affected by covid-19?
Could it be that there is a lot more to it than you know but you continue to milk it for what it is worth?

Fair point and old enough to recall too! I think the Aunty thing is a little different as it suggests they are matronly in their approach - maybe Clark but not Ardern,
