My friend says thanks for the link.
You must have missed the memo that most of mainstream media in the USA in particular is so rabidly left wing that they are shedding customers like crazy, hence the article above [Others and I have noticed that you’re talking out of your orifice a lot. Here...
For some reason your post below ending " which kills off Friedmans central monetarist thesis. " has no reply button... Mulled over and looked at more pages. Couple of thoughts, apparently there had been several years of the conventional controls not ...
Recently watched an interview with Thomas Sowell in 1984, and when asked why he had stopped giving interviews his response was 'because there was no correlation between what he said and what was reported. ' He gave an example of how it was reported that he...

Bit torn on max wage.... On one hand, I have been exposed to a few high paid "proressional" directors and generally their primary skill was the ability to convince people that the dog turd they scooped up off the pavement is actually caviar.... And saw an ...
All gears smashed to pieces as they clashed trying to work out what you were trying to say....
A friend has 2 autistic children. Unemployable in the conventional sense. Tried to get them work but paid on a piece rate so the employer not disadvantaged. He wanted to do this to improve their mental heath by getting them doing something productive. But ...
Aditional thought on the article with data to 2013 that ended up saying "expect either inflation or an asset bubble" Inflation excludes house prices and othet assests....... So if you expand the money supply and it goes into an asset bubble, it is logical ...
Had a look and did not find much to support your claim. What I suppose his big win was Investopedia article in 2019 "To the extent that Keynes was seen as an enemy of laissez faire, Freidman was the new face of free markets. Freidman won a major ...
To try to eliminate poverty by simply raising the minimum wage and welfare payments has a cost. The money comes from somewhere. It is like the govt forcing interest rates down to stimulaye the economy.( yes l know, the reserve bank does it, but in the end ...
Ha. Your question showed up after made my post #11 Without re reading for specifics, I recall it claimed a drop in the number of lower skill requirement jobs.
By coincidence last night I was watching speeches by Milton Friedman. ( won a Nobel prize for economics) His take on inflation is that it is the result of increasing the money supply faster than the growth in goods, and nothing else. He addressed the claim...
I had looked at a number of articles on this a couple of months ago. One consistant theme I recall was it hurts the lower skilled people as employers become more selective.
From memory Fontera CEO was on $5 million a year. To raise the wage of all the workers (21000 from wiki) by $1 per hour would cost $42,800,000 per year Just a we bit short for even a $1 raise..... Edit. After posting this RedLogix post showed up. A simple ...
It would get your blood pressure WAY down......
Seatle has done the experiment. The city funded a study ( link is to The Seatle Times report on study. Link to pdf of the study is in the article ) Quote from the article ""The city’s escalating minimum wage has meant a slight increase in pay among workers...
This facet of financial penalty for having a partner has some serious consequence for society. The data on children raised in one parent families, expressed crudely, is that every bad outcome for a child raised by a solo mum is 10 times more common than ...
Vaguely rember Jacinda suggested that they need to pay well to get the best, when chalanged on MP's salaries. Also vaguely remember hearing on the radio that mp's used to be paid about the same as teachers. Looking at mac1's list one can't help but wonder ...
You "most of the real value added to commodity exports, mostly come from Auckland," What real value does Auckland add to agricultural exports? At a bit of a loss here. Export data has agriculture products at around 65% of product exports, at around 24b usd...
No. Never seen any of that. What does he consider a significant portion? But the irony that some of the doctrins you list also apply to the liberal / left / biden supporters and are the foundation underpinning much vehement hatred directed at conservatives...
Presumed you were suggesting that "the New Messiah's" was trump, and Trump supporters as the members of the "insane cult", as if it was, it fitted the pattern of this thread of slagging off Trump and his supporters, and I very seldom seldom see speech like...
As a uni student, one year my friends and I were happily living an a real student dive. Bad rot in a number of places, large fungal growth in the bathroom when we moved in, completely overgrown 'lawn' , cellotape windows etc. We were in heaven! This was ...
I had some tax to square up this year and the due date was 7 Feb. 2021 So for a house flipped in 2019,(unless flipped before 1 April 2019,) is not 7 Feb 2021 the due date? If so they still have a while. Unless you are doing it so reguarly you fall under ...
Macro, on the basis of the assumption, given the context of your post, that you are a liberal, the irony of some of your 'doctrine' is bemusing
Unless you lumped rates under general upkeep there is thag vist too. I live in rural SI. No sewage or rubish collection. Rv $750k rates $3000 What are rates for a $1m house in Auckland?
Good laugh for the day ! Looked it up and got slightly different translation "You’ve undoubtedly heard the word “mortgage” thrown around a million times. But you may not know that in the literal sense, it is defined as a “death pledge” in the French ...
Sorry about that. What i had in mind was the NZherald article
Since most of NZ foriegn exchange earnings came from agriculture and tourisim (pre covid) I have occasionaly wondered how the rest of the country would fare if Auckland magically vanished.... Income not much changed, expences reduced notably? Before ...
The wiki link describes all the rent controls etc, but I did not see much commentary on the effects untill the botton under "further reading "tab. 2 given. First had a link. From that link "Economists are virtually unanimous in concluding that rent ...
