Finally some relief ... OCR drops to 8.0%

Finally the OCR (Official Cash Rate) in New Zealand has been dropped to 8.0%. As an exporter we have been doing it tough for years now and maybe this is the relief we need. http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/news/2008/3376920.html I used to joke, in a black humour kind of way, that what exporters needed was a "mad cow" to take the edge off the economy. Nothing else seemed like it would work ... Then with some sadness I realized we already had one, but she was running the country, time would not be on her side forever ... Unfortunately our relief comes only because the economy overall seems to be screwed. Forex data from : http://www.dukascopy.com/ via the Forex Charts Widget

DISCLOSURE

I’ve joked for much of my adult life that if I’m going to hell, it’ll probably be for my spelling, grammar, and proofreading.

I’m not diagnosed, but I’m fairly sure I have some level of dyslexia, so yes, I use AI to help with my writing. While I write about things based on deep and varied life experience and ongoing study, the thoughts are my own, I do use AI to check my thinking and to help tidy up what I’ve written ... if you like a virtual editor. Trust me it's as much for you as it is for me :-)

I don’t like AI slop either, so while this writing is mostly for myself, I hope you find some value in it too.
