Another rooster becomes a feather duster?
Each day that passes without any community transmission being apparent is another nail in the media and Mulehead Mullers collective hysterical coffin. 14 days is the number they all seem blind to!
Claiming slight relevance. NASCAR evolved from the bootlegging runs in the Southern States. Fast cars with modifications were used in order to outrun the federal excise officers. Eventually competitions were held between competing bootleggers. The ...
1. The payments were always going to have an element of trust involved with the proviso that checks would be made after the fact. Step out of line and you will be exposed. 2. More than a tad abhorrent to use 'blackmail' to further someone else's agenda ...

Stole my comment! So far the jury's out on herd immunity. It's an assumption thus far. 'We' simply don't know enough about the damn thing. Regarding Sweden, who is going to want to tour around a country ridden with it? Which country will trade with them ...
The Allen Probably in the same media outlets that places Jacinda on the front page. But given that the remaining media outlets are increasingly likely to be owned by the government only, Paula won't get a look in.You'll only have Jacinda to look forward to...
So who holds the Opposition to account? Making sure they really do raise valid concerns instead of barking at wheels? Do we really have to wait for an election?
Isn't it strange how the most popular opinions and fixes revolve around someone else doing something? Then like a breath of fresh air we have a suggestion we could be more self reliant. I have several different types of garden in my modest back yard. ...
A bit harsh talking about her own son like that..

Thank you Nic the NZer for providing a sensible analysis. One day soon, I hope, people will begin to understand how the money system really works.
My understanding is that Canada has a volunteer military and doesn't use conscription so no-one is 'drafted' in peace time and certainly not women. Women CAN serve in all branches of the military if they want to but that's a different matter. Canada passed...
Wow!

Related to Erich and Felix?
Well three cheers for NictheNZer again, such a refreshing change to see at least one other person in NZ isn’t in thrall to M Friedman and all that monetarist claptrap.
Well good for Nic the NZer - I’m glad that someone here has a rudimentary grasp of economics.
Equals 42mpg. Not bad for a 30 yr old car considering my golf7 does 5.8 l / 100km or 48mpg. Mind you that’s mainly urban stop start driving and not trying too hard 😉

"That’s beneficiaries with children." ? Nowhere in Heralds report did I see the mention of beneficiaries with children. If the sanctions had been on beneficiaries with children, I'd put money on The Herald making a LOUD noise about it. They didn't. I have ...
"Whilst full employment is often an aim for an economy, most economists see it as more beneficial to have some level of unemployment, especially of the frictional sort. In theory, this keeps the labor market flexible, allowing room for new innovations and ...
And again you muddy the waters. Is this deliberate or do you have trouble with linear thought processes? My comment at 12.2.1 was clearly divided into two parts responding to two separate issue you raised. In your response at 12.2.1.1 You conflated these ...
The OP is not about sanctions TARGETED at elite members of a rogue regime. It is about whether GOVERNMENTS have the right to drive POPULATIONS into poverty by using generalised widespread sanctions as an economic weapon designed to cause regime change. I ...
The OP and thus the debate below it is about whether GOVERNMENTS have the right to drive POPULATIONS into poverty and deprivation. I pointed out that BDS was not applicable to the debate in hand yet you still continue down this spurious line of argument. ...
Not a major issue but if a mod could remove my surname from my previous comments please?
The BDS movement consists of international individuals and businesses who are non-state actors making their own personal decisions about whether they can stomach doing business with a country whose citizens overwhelmingly support their Goverment's actions ...
