The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

Hope for the crap hospital food here?

the fools – they ate it for a week, rather than a single demonstration-prepared serving with a side-order of Coleman’s saccharine!

Steel dumping. Whats the economics of that? Why would a country dump a product on another? Inferior quality. Well first there is a glut, but follow the money. NZ dollars must buy this bad steel, therefore someone somewhere is buying nz value products in exchange to balance the currency. Higher quaility, food mostly. So we are exchange pure clean water, using up soil to grow quality plants and meat for export and are increasing the risk from damage in the next earthquake.
Oh, but its worse. Not only are we buying crap steal, but TTP is lowering the quality of food webuy at the supermarket, lowering the quality of houses we can buy, all so we can exchange our quality for housing investors to sit on auckland land and homes, secure their wealth here, so the profits keep rising for exportig quality meat and dumping poor quality meat. Hell what gives with that, how can free trade mean that foriegn markets get quality meat, homes, etc, yet we dont, we get damp housing if we are lucky, tasteless old prefozen meat, carrots that rot inside a day, etc, and free tade that says all boats rise together…
It aint free trade whenschools go backwards, when hospital food gets worse, its a rigged trade when we get worse outcomes by opening trade doors. I live in the heart of farming country and the meat suppliers are dumping crap water infused at, thats tasteless, and useless in sandwiches from the aftertaste of some chemicals i quess used to bleach out whatever nasty they were alledgedly infected with but worse leaves my stomach upset.
so wheres the economics of butchers dump crap meat into our town, you guessed it, they make a profit bothsides, quality overseas and dumping poor quality here, i would not be surprised that the meat on our shelves wnet to china first dud not get sold was reconditioned there and dumped here,
Ann Coulter in regards to open carry and the likes at the Republican Convention.

on te news just now the were saying that its illegal to carrys whole fruit any where near the convention, but open carrying guns is A OK, fuck it i give up humans are to stupid, i hope they fucking shoot shit out of each other.
I’m just disappointed they won’t have open carry on the convention floor inside the arena.
Allowed to open carry heavy fire arms but not dildos. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/12/texas-guns-prompts-debate-over-dildos
Classy. You don’t like their views so you hope they shoot each other. You are a caring wee thing arnt you.

You’re wrong James I support them in the right to be murdered by their neighbours .
Wrong -b waghorn you said “i hope they fucking shoot shit out of each other” – What the hell is it with you lefties – people you dont like you actually hope they shoot each other (or as posted here on the standard not that long ago) that they hang themselves.
you cannot justify this kind of shit – really.
Not really sure i fit the bill of a leftie, never had a dark thought their james? at least i”m honest .
Another day in John Key’s neo-liberal nightmare.
We have become a cruel, greedy, uncaring and selfish nation under his wretched leadership.
Uncaring.
Anyone who voted this government in.

Teenagers just out of school must be so vulnerable right now, if they don’t have rich parents, no dole & only low paid crappy tiny hour non-career-type jobs, hope things get better for them.
The only way things are going to get better is the eradication of neoliberal thinking and policies in this country.
As the 2 major parties are both still wedded to this economic cult, it will require grassroots movements to change the paradigm.
Hearing ya
The grassroots in the UK are experiencing first hand how savagely the neoliberal UK Labour MPs are fighting to hold onto their careerist positions.
The. PLP is the enemy, not an ally.

Part of me actually hopes there is a split, and that the PLP, who through their actions obviously hold democracy in contempt, do leave. It would be like lancing a festering pustule. Sometimes you have to amputate a limb in order to salvage the body. If they stay, this entire toxic business is not going to quietly fade away. The ill-feeling will remain to poison the party for years to come.
HSCB who helped fix our last election, and was caught in those paper made public from Panama. But here the kick, no charges folks.
