That's a bit silly. Nothing with his life? He was Governer of the Reserve Bank. Leader of a major political party. That's an achievement. I've never heard much about him actually creating and running buisnesses but I think there is a more important point ...
Well it's clear in this case that the US apart from reacting against a socialist dictator that makes Chavez look moderate, is reacting to the privatising of Venezuela oil assets into mostly Russian and Chinese hands. So there is that Cold War feel to ...
That was funny. Peterson says he doesn't like them. Peterson is not responsible for his plain and simple truths being liked, as they are universal truths. It's unavoidable that sane and rational thinkers, as well as the insane, the Neo-Nazis agree with him...
Yes he is not making sense. I myself support safe, orderly and regular migration. Most on TS don't which is maybe what these guys think this law will result in. The US example. Notice the word legal is missing from his comment, and the implication it won't...
I'll remind myself every time that my Daughter gives me a spontaneous hug for being a terrible dad that North takes the bait so easily. Actually nah since you did, and haven't added anything to the conversation yet of any value. McFlock, Joe90, Macro, Anne...
1: I have no ploblem with Jacinda being Prime Minister. Being a prime minister even if it was accidental, and required selling her soul to Winston is still something to aspire to. 2: I hardly ever have a drink, and considering its harm, is something to ...
Crossing a nations boarder outside of the law of that nation is a crime. Especially when the law of the nation says it's a crime. Don't pretend otherwise.
That's not what "separations" means in this context. It includes and is the majority of kids that come across the boarder without adults. So not actually seperated. Once Trump backed down on "actual" separations, which was for a very short time period, the...
Thanks for the link, gives context. "Staff had begun informally tracking separations in 2016, recognizing that additional information and effort was required to locate parents of separated children." So prior to that was Obama. WTF was he recording? No ...
He is a role model. He has achieved great things in his life. President of the US for example. Works hard, doesn't drink etc, loves women. Last month he added 304,000 jobs. That's lots of people's lives, and there kids, changed for the better. But carry on...
Um, I just said good on Trump for changing what was happening. Just because the paperwork was crap doesn't result in a justification of calling it a Crime Against Humanity. There isn't even a catagory for it. If taking kids from parents, and those parents ...
You paying extra for the CO2 created by the "concrete" jungle. A offsetting driveway vs grass tax. A human breathing out CO2 tax. Extra for exercising. A breeding more polluting humans tax. A dog shit tax. High % meat diet. A cat killing everything tax. A ...
Its like being opposed to full term abortions.
So the ACLU who vertualy 100% of the time is spewing out anti Trump rhetoric is not biased? It makes absurd racism cliams, supports the sex abuse allegations against Kavanaugh despite them being exposed as bullshit. This present stuff is pre the new ...
After pretty much nothing else, agriculture is the only human activity that absorbs greenhouse gases. What a surprise a CEO of a company thinks getting another $12 to $52 billion for doing nothing is a good idea. How about services that work for the ...
Just a little sexism there but I'll let it slide. Some mansplianing. I've spent many long hours hunting possums with my now deceased dog Bud and in my youth with a duck hunting dog named Bear. If you think dogs can't hunt out birds and do it by instinct ...
Its a well known thing that men seem to delay going to the doctor more that women do. The stark reality of the consequences of that became all to real yesterday when I was informed my best freind who isn't even 40 yet has cancer. The mind numbing reality ...
Well that doesn't look to good does it. It must have been created by a Hillary supporter. Shall we say Fake News. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_federal_politicians_convicted_of_crimes By the looks of things they are about as bad as each ...
Yep there's definately a very seperate set of rules for the two groups. I think there was some move on the things like cars with fringe benifit taxes but I don't know how that works. When a sole trader, Buisiness spends to increase expenditure, lowering ...
Lol North. The real funny stuff is your comment at 12.1.2
People in the Trump team were prosecuted for lying, or accidentally making a statement from false memories. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bC1Mc6-RDyQ Lock her up. Please next time realise your point of veiw has nothing to do with integrity. It has nothing ...
Yes, I've seen it first hand. When a company makes a profit they pay tax. I totally agree WFF is a Buisiness subsidy. It's also a Landlord subsidy indirectly. Who brought that in? I'm not saying if companies can increase profits that they should ignore ...
Well I have been a minimum wage worker. I just took steps to gain skills and qualifications to improve my income earning potential. I left $13.50 with time & 1/2 after 40 hrs to $9 fixed 40 hrs to improve myself. I lived in a caravan for 4 1/2 years. I ...
Zuckerberg.
Free? Who pays for this free stuff?
What do you compare it with. Many buisinesses compete with companies paying $2 hour. It's resulted in business closures so there is no jobs. If wage increases forced legislatively result in an unprofitable Buisiness then you end up with no jobs. If wage ...
I don't support cuts. That's in your mind not mine. I support good decisions with a small surplus budget. If cuts are good decisions then do them, just as with increases. Plus that's not correct. Regard to services. If taxes are cut resulting in less ...
You can see what your talking about on this graph. https://goo.gl/images/TjeEok As you can see drastic rebalancing occurred resulting in National balancing the books. This occurred around 93,94. Did they get everything correct, absolutely not. If we did ...
The affect of the 50% rate is huge. The revenue is small as the numbers are small. A single person who relocates Taxes to Singapore at 22% top rate destroys the gain from probably 10 people. You loose GDP, GST, economic activity from trickle down ...
Not really in my mind. It shows a lack of inventiveness. It's just tweaking of settings rather than a marked difference in policy. National would be better focussed on industry and resulting job creation. Similar to Trump, support its base, buisinesses as ...
I never said that about health and never will. I think our settings are no to bad. The system is affordable to the government and wealthier NZers have health insurance. Obviously a system permanently in a level of chaos that drives its management towards ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
