WELLINGTON, NZ — A woman who held the Finance Minister role in New Zealand Government has resigned After failing at Butternomics.
Convinced that butter was the ticket to prosperity, she declared Butternomics her grand plan. She spent half the GDP on butter mountains, hiring bakers to whip up gold-dusted cupcakes.
“More cupcakes, more wealth!” she chirped, ignoring baffled economists who pointed out that cupcakes don’t pay taxes.
“I have run out of ideas, so I quit,” the woman posted on X.
At publishing time, the woman was seen in the offices of Fonterra asking her old job back.
