Might've worked. Under corporates like Sanford, Sealord & Talleys though, probably not.
Yes - I've been following CP for nearly twenty years now - though not specifically on these issues. I don't always agree with her, but she makes good arguments - something we rarely see anymore.
It's not merely the conservative fringe that are pushing back - fairly erudite and by no means fringe figures like Kathleen Stock and Camille Paglia are making some pretty good points against what is, at the end of the day, a group in thrall of a set of ...
I venture a solid health and safety case could be made against employers who leave workers living in vehicles for any length of time. Fatigue is a risk.
He might need heavy protective gear to make it that far - the entitled ones resent leaders that have no sinecures to grant. I can smell the barbecue already.
By their works shall ye know them. And the trans activists' work is an elderly woman with a fractured skull. If you think you can justify that, you'd better think again.
As Bradbury's Martians left us the Grand Canal, perhaps it is time to consider leaving something of lasting aesthetic value for whatever disruptive new species emerge from the ruin of our biosphere.
Ukraine has worked out it's going to need a demilitarized zone to border Russia, because Putin dare not surrender - he'd fall out a window.
And all of this violence stems from asserting rights that impose upon others. It is not enough to live quietly in new gendered identities - the demand is that they be respected. So much for not doing it in the streets and frightening the horses. This is ...
It reality comes down to throwing one's weight around. Relatively recently, trans in NZ began to assert 'rights' as opposed to behaving in a manner that respected others. As one youtuber commented: "If a grown man wants to pretend to be a woman he has a ...
Do we really have enough hydro power for NZSteel? If not, coal at NZSteel will be substantially less carbon emitting than coal at Huntly to create the required electricity. I expect domestic electricity consumers will pay the price yet again. As for ...
In an ideal market your position would be fine - but NZ is a small country and/or economy, and must be lighter on its feet. Market excesses result in capacity losses that can be ruinously expensive to reinstate here. We can lose whole sectors to Oz through...
No it isn't. Asset protection is precisely what it says. People with assets (eg property) put them into family trusts to protect them from matrimonial property claims, not tax. Oh - is this where you pretend that someone so ungenerous as not to share with ...
The litmus test is the claim to be a tall poppy. Real tall poppies have no need to make that claim.
It is, unfortunately, a weakness of NZ governments, that they neither know nor care much about the economy. We, the wretched citizens, are further impoverished by the infrastructure required by mass low-quality migration. They care more for pronouns and ...
You're probably thinking of squat poppies - those morally stunted and undeserving persons that, at every opportunity, seek to avoid their social responsibilities, and imagine that, when called out, that they are victims. Tall poppies cheerfully bow to the ...
"Asset protection" is just a weasel word for tax evasion.
The efficiency of the US system is notoriously poor - they spend getting on for 16% of GDP for very mediocre outcomes - worse than Cuba, with unremarkable lifespans. NZ is middle of the road with nearly 10% of GDP. The most cost effective outfits, (...
It's effect on the elderly should have given National pause - fixed incomes, and often on multiple medications, mean they will be paying attention to this. And National is consistently more popular among older than younger voters. So, to answer Whaleoil's ...
Nailed it. Don't be allowing dodgy second and third world carbon boondoggles, and don't allow major emitters to externalize their responsibilities.
Well it seems that the now defunct Jenny Craig is not the only scam that persuades people they must wait. 'You must forego a social life until you're thinner' was the implicit message of the company to its victims, whereas Labour's is, 'You must not expect...
So never then :D.
You're in complete denial if you think NZ media is not slanted left. Your sanity seems to be as fragile as your integrity on this issue. But of course you don't understand the concept of bias, so of course you are unable to find plausible support for your ...
It's not a surprise - you're a raging far-right buffoon with no respect for the truth whatsoever. An AI sort is not a study. No parameters given - no veracity to be expected - garbage in, garbage out. And the list of results make it abundantly clear that ...
We know you only care about the outcome - that's why you built a fake tool. You worked back from your desired reports and built a system to report that. It's essentially the same rort as iPredict - another RW folly to create the illusion that your barking ...
Or indeed to the defender of Fort Zinderneuf :D .
Well you're obviously wildly credulous as well as misinformed - I've seen Chinese infomercials with better graphics, and with no examinable data, your aptly named 'mediabias' is slightly less credible than you. Here is a longform explanation of some of the...
Yeah - it has a lot to do with fending off a corrupt Murdoch-style media that gives constant life-support to unattractive offerings like Key and Luxon. You know, the kind of asinine aggression that pushed out the best PM in my lifetime with threats of ...
I like the idea of beaurecrats - an aesthetic or romantic touch to humanize the legions of whey-faced assassins of joy could only be an improvement.
Tax isn't the biggest thing that is being wasted here. The National Party are a waste of time and space in Parliament - and the stunts they pull to enrich their cronies are very expensive, though often they destroyed capital value, as was the case of Solid...
Capital is never better than a crude approximation of productivity. The Detroit ideal of a factory is heavily capitalized - mechanized to the point there are no workers, but the Asian ideal is as empty as possible - with machines only for the tasks they do...
